Rakuu

Still incredibly fresh, good Sushi, choice and service. I only removed a star because of the price they charge for a small sake — Is the price you pay for a large one elsewhere. Other than that we love the place!

Have only ordered takeout here but the food is fresh and delicious. Excellent service too.

We have been wanting to eat here and we finally did, and the food was great, and the service was very good! I will definitely return!

Terrible service, will never return!
We were assisted by Erick, the owners son and we were abandoned after we ordered. There were only 5 families in the restaurant, no excuse for the lack of service!
We tried calling on other waiters and no one responded except a guy named Robert. He had great customer service in checking us out and apologizing for the bad service. Everyone else in the restaurant failed to awknowledge us.
Spend your money else where, don’t waste it here!

#thefieryredhead and I really love this place. It is our second visit, this time it was sushi, fried rice and pork dumplings. They made a great vegetarian roll for the lady and I had the crunchy roll which was perfect. The pork dumplings were tender, fresh and not one bit over cooked… and the dipping sauce was AWESOME!
We will be back!

This is one of our favorite local restaurants. The food is always delicious, hot and fresh. Our favorites are the shaggy dog roll and the rakuu soup. If you’re picking up an order it’s usually ready in less than 15 minutes. So glad this place is close to home!

I was hesitant about trying this place since it’s right next to a gas station and part of a strip center. I was pleasantly surprised to enter the restaurant and discover a clean atmosphere and sophisticated décor. I tried the seaweed salad ($ 3) which could use cucumber but was still good.
My party ordered a few sushi rolls:
Naked roll– tuna and mango, superb!
Crunchy roll– fried inside, fried outside with spicy mayo, pretty decent.
Lafayette roll– very interesting. It was a Cajun spicy roll complete with crawfish, spicy mayo and teriyaki sauce. It was inspired.
In my experience, the restaurant had perfect ambiance and a mature tasty menu. I will return.

Clean facility, customer service was great and fast, and food was great!
This was my first time here and I was taken care of fast. The waitress was very friendly. Sushi was fresh and it hit the spot. My dessert was really good, I got the coffee mochi ice cream.

The atmosphere is modern and classy, it’s very inviting. The menu is pretty extensive, variety of Chinese and viet dishes and sushi. We tried the mango stir fry, the vermicelli combo and a fancy Nancy (if I remember the name correctly). Overall I have a pretty good impression of the food we had, although i didn’t think it was absolutely memorable. The service was a little slow and all over the place, since the restaurant is new, I can understand that they haven’t figured it all out. I will be coming back to try more sushi if I’m in the area.

Veey delicious for a fusion restaurant. Sushi was nowlt excellent but decent. Prices are also average. Ordered pad thai and rakuu phở. Phở is awesone, the broth is very tasty… i will come again.

Excellent food and service we ate around 5 sushi rolls and spring rolls with chicken and shrimp! Gosh… every bite was very taste! The place its very clean and minimalistic

I ate the Garlic Edamame and the Lafayette Roll, both were delicious! My husband ate the Green Beans and Chicken and he also loved his food. It is a little small for big groups, but I assume if you call ahead they could find room for you. We will definitely be back. Their Sushi is much better than PF Chengs as are the prices. The staff was also super friendly and it was very clean.
New favorite!

Been wanting to try this place for awhile and man am I glad I did. Their sushi is off the chain.!! Best sushi I’ve had in a loooong time. Their ginger dressing is awesome. Great atmosphere. Servers were great. Menu has something for everyone definitely a must try. I will most certainly be returning

I wasn’t expecting much from this small sushi outpost way out in Far North Houston, but it did have excellent Unilocal reviews so I had to try it.
I came in on a Friday night and there were basically only 2 tables open for seating. They tried to seat me by the front door, but I convinced the hostess to give us the booth in the back corner.
After glancing over the menu, I sampled 3 sashimi and two rolls, one of which wasn’t on the menu, but they were able to make it for me anyway. My dining companion decided to order a phở with meatball.
Fresh salmon sashimi — excellent and temperature was nearly perfect, noticibly colder than most sushi bars in Houston, but that was a good thing.
Yellowtail sashimi — excellent, same cold temperature, a more apparent tuna — like taste than many others I’ve tried elsewhere
Red snapper sashimi — pretty dissapointing, 3 paper thin slices, I guess they gave me 1 extra to make up for the size… who knows
Avocado roll — very small diameter roll, item not on the menu, priced too high for the size.
Super dragon roll — great flavor in this roll, has like 10 pieces, I would order again.
Phở w/​meatball — not that great
Although most of the food I tried wasn’t top notch, it was definitely passable, especially for the casual eater. I also enjoyed the atmosphere here and it would definitely make a great date spot.

Awesome food, great prices beautiful environment, not noisy, good music, great customer service, you’ll want to come back after u see the menu, I wanted half of what they had for now and half to go for later!!! They have a mixture of foods, Vietnamese, Japanese and Chinese! !!! It’s like. What to order!!! Luckily Unilocal helped us out, so look at the pix posted !

As always this place was amazing. I’m obviously a regular there now. We had Chris as a waiter for lunch time. He was awesome!

This is my new favorite sushi place in the area! I got the Lafayette role, it was very good! And the Dragon role was good too. My fiancé got the phở, she loved it!
I will definitely be coming back!
The restaurant was very clean and the server was very helpful in our ordering.

Rakuu is super close to my office and I love coming by here to pick up lunch. They have a pretty decent happy hour by the looks of their happy hour menu as well. The restaurant itself is really cute and nicely decorated. The staff is friendly and accommodating as well, even when you have a special request.

I love everything about this place from the comfortable contemporary décor to the fantastic food. They have sushi, Vietnamese, and Chinese dishes, so there’s a wide variety to choose from. I have never ventured passed the sushi because it’s so fresh and delicious.
For starters, I recommend the spicy garlic edamame and the spring rolls. Then feast on some peppered tuna sashimi before filling up on a few rolls. I prefer my rolls with raw fish over cooked and I am not a fan of nori so I always request my rolls made with soy paper. The Sakana roll is my favorite, but the Super Dragon and Skai rolls are good choices as well. If you’re a crawfish lover, the Lafayette roll is loaded with crawfish tails.
Specialty rolls are 10% off during happy hour and they serve beer and wine. If they offered Lychee martinis, I would love this place even more!

Great sushi and appetizers. A breath of fresh air in the spring area. The inside is very nicely decorated and fancy. The staff are very friendly and accommodating.
I love their fish taco and spring rolls with peanut sauce. Their sushi rolls are giant!
My favorite rolls are the ganseki and hanbun. Everything from the fish quality to the presentation and creativity. The quality of the fish is plenty good for the spring area.
Great place. Decent happy hour. Fresh and clean
