MS and I went to Raku this past weekend based on Jeff's review too. I didn't quite like the Deep Fried Calamari - nothing special there. Nor did I like the tempura battered chicken kara'age. I ordered the Grilled Cod with Miso which was good, but messy to eat b/c of all the bones. MS had the spicy tuna bowl which was just okay too. Great decor. I may try this place again for their stuffed squash and miso w/clams. ;) Jonah! MS and I went to Raku this past weekend based on Jeff’s review too.

Lots of choices, some good some not quite to my taste. I really liked the stuffed squash flowers and the miso with clams was good too. We tried Raku based on this review.

But since Raku has Korean food and I LOVE Korean food, I always end up getting bibimba (sp?) Their korean-style tofu (hiya yakko) is super good. Better than the Japanese counterpart. (Am I a traitor to my race?) It's better than Furaibo down a few blocks but less crowded. Which I hope stays that way because I hate waiting at a restaurant. But I do hope Raku gets many repeat and loyal customers like you guys and continue to stay in WLA.

I love 'small plates', yet it's been many years since I went for the Japanese version of pub food (uh, in Tokyo!) Raku is now on my ever-growing list of must-try places, along with Izayoi and Haru Ulala, both Downtown. FYI -- you probably already know this but I believe udon noodles traditionally used to be made from whale blubber. I'm pretty glad they aren't any more! Cool review.
