Raku is consistently one of my favorite foodie digs. Lotus of Siam and Raku are the 2 places I always desperately try to work into my Vegas time.
For foodies: I would recommend ordering omokase and roasted green tea and let them take care of you. The $75 vs $100 is just a difference in a few more expensive ingredients. At $100 price can't be beat for the quality and taste. It's ALOT of food! It leaves your mouth watering and tummy FULL! For couples, might i recommend sharing one omokase order then adding a few items from the menu to ensure you get to try their beautiful omokase dishes without wasting food. This is one of the rare places you can ask for some minor alterations in the omokase (ie, request a specific item you really want)
Today, I was craving the foie gras custard and hubby only wanted cooked items, both of which they were happy to accommodate.
I have yet to try the LA location but looking forward to it. Still, this one is like an old friend's place I like to hang out whenever Vegas calls.
Our 10 items included:
Raku tofu
Oyster with caviar
Sashimi
Skewered Bamboo, wagyu beef, pork cheek
Fish
Foie gras custard
Salmon roe on rice
And finished with green tea creme brûlée
