  • I finally got to try this special restaurant in Vegas and I have to admit, I'm a big fan and can't wait to come back again with a completely empty stomach. So first and foremost, before you even think about stopping by Raku - make a RSVP by calling in! They book up quickly and the venue is small enough/popular with tourists to fill up. Saw a good number of people try to come in as a walk-in - only to be told to come back and RSVP. After getting to sit down, you'll be welcomed with a drink list (beers/soju/wine mostly), the normal menu and then a special chalkboard menu that they'll run down for you. There's also the most adventurous item - the omakase that comes in a $75/$100 variation that seemed to look awesome - at least seeing what the people next to me received. I unfortunately was not as hungry from an earlier restaurant outing so I opted to go a-la-carte. I ordered the following: -Okra: Was a pretty simple dish with some fun scallion toppings. -Pig Ears: Pretty good! Loved the use of the vinegar to give it a nice pop. -Foie Gras from the Grill: Doused in a teriyaki-like sauce - it was a delicious treat to end the meal. -Agadashi Tofu: A pretty solid dish although I don't think I love it as much as others do on here. Comes with a very interesting hot sauce, a tasty broth and some fish eggs on top. -Blue Fine/Toro Tartar: My favorite dish and one of the daily specials. Came in a beautiful presentation - tasted absolutely amazing and was such a smooth/easy eat. Adding tiny bits of wasabi that is included gives it the extra kick it needs to be one of the best tartars I've had. Loved the international red wine choice they had as well. There's a limited dessert menu although they recommend going to their sister dessert restaurant literally a few doors away. Parking-wise, it's in a small plaza - look for parking on the side streets or even at next door buildings. The decor is simple but cool with some bar seats and tables all-around. Service is stellar as well - great water checks, lots of good explanations and plate clears. I'm so excited to come back to Raku in the near future. So let's go through the Cliff Notes: +RSVP early! Don't expect to just walk-in. +Be adventurous! Expect both typical Japanese fare & a lot of unique twists. +Parking available all-around! +Expect to shell out $50-$100 per person.
