Jenya GolubevaApril 15, 2014Love the miso soup here! Had the california roll and golden roll and both were super fresh and delicious ♥ I can't wait to try more rolls next time, this place is WAY better than Yuzu!!! Love it :-)
CassidyJune 25, 2017insanely good quality fish for a very reasonable price. try anything they've flown in from the famous tsukiji fish market (!) or the chef's choice sashimi platter.
Behrad EatsMarch 23, 2014Delicious Deluxe Chirashi Sushi: Tuna | Salmon, Yellowtail, White Fish, Shrimp, Eel, Surf Clam, Salmon Roe, Squid, Octopus, Egg Omelet.
KaitlinAugust 17, 2014While the sushi was fresh and wonderful (golden dragon roll!), I was impressed with the kale salad on the specials. Crispy kale, almost like they flash-fried it, with toasty croutons: SO good!
Chicken Tokyo soup is phenomenal, very tasty and satisfying! Also try the seaweed salad and double salmon roll!
Nick CollinsDecember 5, 2022I had the dragon and spider rolls and they’re delicious and didn’t disappoint. Also the homemade ginger beer was quite flavorful!
Savannah HillJune 22, 2016I love the California roll and just the sushi in general! Everything tastes so fresh. The prices are a bit high though...
Caroline PApril 21, 2014The Chilean sea bass tempura roll is delish. Don't miss the crunchy spicy tuna roll either!
- Best Asian fusion inside the beltway. Tokyo dashi broth, sushi, kale salad- all excellent.
Place your Wasabi on top of you sushi then place it in a little soy sauce. It will have a lot more flavor. Oh yeah, its not a chicken nuggets, don't soak it in the soy sauce!
Try this..op this..no no try this..lol.;wow:EVERYThing here is sooo yummy-head down:thumb UP guys:-)Love love this place..
AlevJuly 19, 2013Best "summer roll" I have ever eaten, compelling atmosphere, rich choice of Asian food
Zu AlFaqihApril 13, 2010Noisy, lively, great place! Great outdoor seating on Woodmont St... start with the ginger pumpkin soup and Asian beer. Service quality varies so don't go if you are in a hurry.
It's Bethesda Row Restaurant Week. The choices are excellent. Word from the mayor it's a must!!!
Lynn PinaOctober 19, 2012The Red Dragon and Seoul Train rolls are awesome! The crispy, crunchy rolls are good too.
Dana DNovember 6, 2011Always jammin. Sushi is good, not great. Expect a wait unless you can jump in at the bar.
tuna tartar + wasabi dynamite and golden dragon rolls.
Washington PostAugust 1, 2014A chain restaurant that doesn't taste like it, Raku has Asian food that's made for fun, with high-contrast textures and tastes. Read more
LisaJanuary 12, 2013The lemon basil chicken is undercooked. You better order it well done or try something else.
LJanuary 13, 2011The chicken and pork dumplings are awesome. Also try the beef tenderloin bento box.
Try the Chirasi bowl. It's basically a selection of sashimi on a bowl of rice. ++recommend !
SmorgieDecember 28, 2010Check the specials for Asian beers like Hitachino Nest, a Japanese hefeweizen
- Do not order food to go! It looks and taste nothing like the food in my plate now...:(I had a bad experience with food to go...
