| - Okay, not getting the 5 stars I was hoping to give. Just not as good as Nobu in my opinion when in Vegas, nor as good as the hype it has received on t.v. lately. However, we are not contemplating sushi because Raku does not serve any sushi, sashimi yes. And the fish is unique species and entirely fresh and beautifully presented! So, this is really apples to oranges. What Raku does offer is a very perfected version of grilled Japanese cuisine. The homemade tofu and soy are unrivaled, bar none anywhere. So, if you like these things please come here to try the best. Their sake selection is good, too. And the roasted green tea after my meal was exceptional quality. So, why only 4/5 stars? Well, my glassware - both water and sake vessels were smelly. I am serious. This really left a mark on my otherwise near perfect meal. Sorry, but this is not an acceptable missed detail when striving to the best in a category of dining. However, with this being said, I would return to try yet other items I had not been hungry enough to try on my first visit.
