Sweets raku is very disappointing.. I've had this place bookmarked for over a year and finally had a chance to try this place two weekends ago. My family and I came here after eating at a restaurant in Chinatown and decided to get dessert. I came at a very odd hour so the place was empty.
The hostess only seats you when the entire party is seated. So we had to wait until the other half of my party to show up. But for some reason the hostess seated another party when only two of their party were there. I'm not sure why we had to wait when they didn't... Note: they have a $12 min per person... so you can't really share
The desserts here look more delicious than it tastes. They have a 2 course dessert where you can get one seasonal dessert and one of the main dessert for $15. The seasonal dessert was either pineapple or mango sorbet. The pineapple sorbet was my favorite! The mango sorbet was a little sour. We had the ichigo, rikyu, and the mars. The ichigo looked the most normal dessert but the best one on the menu! The mars had a very bitter taste because of the brandy. We had trouble eating this let alone finishing this. Not my favorite but very entertaining to watch them pour hot brandy to melt the chocolate. The rikyu was basically green tea spaghetti! Very spongy, if you like green tea, then I recommend this. The green tea sesame seed was a little disappointing.. The desserts tastes all in all was very average. The chefs do a great job in presentation, but taste could be better.
Overall, $15 for a dessert is overpriced for me. It was a one time deal to try..
