A bunch of friends on a weekend trip to Vegas. We couldn't pass up checking out Raku. We've heard that this place tends to be packed, so for our party of 16, we were able to snag reservations for 9 pm. Yeah, it was pretty late, but with our huge party, options were limited. I'd recommend making reservations waaaay in advance.
The majority of us ended up getting the omakase. Just one friend requested a gluten free/sugar free option (keto), which they were willing to accommodate.
Just a few of the items we sampled were:
- Housemade tofu
- Mixed sashimi platter
- Enochi mushroom wrapped in bacon
- Grilled tomato skewers
- Tsukune-grilled ground chicken
- A whole fried fish
- Kobe beef skirt with fried garlic slices
- Tea
- Watermelon ice
Each dish was presented beautifully. Everything tasted delicious. Truly Japanese food well served. Towards the end of the menu, I was pretty stuffed.
Flexible cooking options for folks on diet restrictions like gluten free, keto or paleo. Just ask. In some instances, my friend who was doing keto ended up with better food choices. So jelly.
I do plan on coming here, again. Next time around I want to try their regular menu. I saw a few things that caught my eye and makes me want to go back. Nom.
