Tried out Raku in Chinatown Las Vegas because of good reviews and Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown Vegas show.
It's a small place near Mantu Ramen, it's best to have reservations but I could never get through to a live person so we just showed up before 6pm and hoped we could get a table. We were able to because it was a Thurs night and not super busy yet.
B. picked dishes off the Grilled menu and I did the Omakase. Because it was just me doing the omakase the waitress said it would have to be $100, and I couldn't do the $75, ok so bogus though.
If you want Hot tea it's $2.5 per person - Not even green tea, more black.
B. got a Asahi beer $7
I got:
homemade tofu - it's really tasty.
4 different sashimi 2pcs each - very tasty
One oyster with cavier on it - good
a stick with 5 grape tomatoes - I think because I mentioned I don't eat fried foods. - meh.
Pork belly on stick - tasty
Kobe beef on stick - 5 pcs of tender beef
Small fish grilled - tasty, wish it had some rice on the side
2 rice balls - to fill me up
Creamy cheesecake dessert - very light and tasty
B. got:
foie gras chawanmush $10 - tasty, foie gras was more cooked though
asparagus w/ bacon
enoki mushroom w/ bacon
okura
kobe beef filet
pork intestine
Afterwards we were very full, would love to go back!
One unisex bathroom - heated Japanese toilet w/ bidet and other stuff.
