Service seemed friendly around all the other tables though they didn't talk to me much as I dined alone. Mi Thap Cam (Noodle Combo) - I was shocked at the sheer amount of food. While I can put away food, this had me feeling pretty full which is a good indication of quantity and value. A bed of meats sit on top: flavorful BBQ pork, crispy roast pork, and a juicy duck leg. Tucked away are egg noodles with fresh vegetables and pickled vegetables. My only critique is the roast pork can be crispier, as the skin was on the softer side. Duck and BBQ pork were some of my more flavorful experiences and I've had a lot of Canto BBQ. Mango Coconut - I didn't even get a chance to drink this in store because I was busy devouring the scrumptious meal. I started drinking on my walk to Cap Hill and was very pleased. Sweet mango makes up the majority of the flavor but the coconut makes it refreshing. It's very smooth, blended well, and perfect on a hot day.

The negative thing was the seats are too close to each other, our neighbors chairs kept hitting ours. Small cocktail menu but they're all pretty good. Definitely worth coming back for! My favorite was definitely the PARAN Galbi. The meat was tender and flavorful, but I especially loved the bright citrus taste! It added a refreshing balance to the richness of the galbi. This one is a must! The Je-yuk was another standout. The savory, spicy pork paired with the creamy sauce was such a smart combination. I have to say it's not super spicy. Maybe it's the creaminess balanced the heat perfectly and made every bite really satisfying. The Rose Jjim-Dak was rich, creamy, and comforting, with great sweet and spicy Korean flavors. It does come with some rice cakes. M.B.P: A fun, fruity vodka cocktail with mango, berries, and peach. If you prefer something smooth, sweet, and refreshing, then you need this drink. Matcha Lush: Another vodka based cocktail that balances sweet and bitter matcha. It's sweet at first and the aftertaste is more earthy. Golden Garden: A gin cocktail with fruity notes and a tropical feel. Light and also refreshing. You can definitely taste the gin for sure.

We were able to find parking and walk over where we were greeted warmly and seated immediately with menus and a hot pot of tea. Their menu is huge like it is a brochure with American foods, Chinese, Sichuan, dim sum, hot or cold drinks, and desserts. The server came back pretty fast which was insane as most dim sum places, the servers are mostly afraid or avoid coming to the table. In fact the service here is probably one of the best that I've ever experience at a dim sum and Chinese restaurant period. The servers ensure that you get what you want, they check periodically on you and even bring you napkins or refills without flagging them down. The restaurant itself feels upscale and modern with their decor, seating and piano music playing. The lighting is nice and great to take pictures which I appreciate. The bathrooms were clean and there are multiple stalls. My boyfriend and I ordered their beef with broccoli and shao mai while I got their baked spaghetti, nasi goreng, shrimp dumplings and shao mai. We shared the baked spaghetti and nasi goreng as rice does not come with the beef with broccoli dish and we were just super hungry. I saw that many reviews said to order their baked spaghetti so I couldn't skip out on and thank goodness I did. The spaghetti has a sweet taste that reminds of Filipino but not overly sweet and it's not traditional spaghetti either. However, it is really good and paired well with everything else we had which was so interesting. I've also never had spaghetti baked and I think that might be something I need to look into as it was a very pleasant experience. I've also always wanted to try Nasi Goreng and it sounded amazing. The presentation was gorgeous, the different proteins in there were generous and the taste was absolute perfect with a kick. My boyfriend mixed the spaghetti with the fried rice and egg which created an even more robust and delightful taste! The dim sum dishes came quickly too and they were enormous! They were filled with delicious filling and paired well with the sauces provided at the table. The beef with broccoli was savory and delicious with the broccoli being cooked to perfection and the beef being tender. We had plenty of leftovers to enjoy the next day and it was still super delicious! My boyfriend and I look forward to coming back!

Big plump pieces of meat so you actually get texture in every bite (I loooove when siu mai isn't just a mushy paste). Seasoned perfectly. Everything else went downhill fast.The roast duck was dry and there was barely any meat on it. Look at the photos I posted. They're charging the same price but you're basically paying for bones. If you're serving a plate of bones and skin, charge less. The beef in the beef chow fun had a weird old flavor that wasn't appetizing at all. It didn't taste like fresh beef and had this irony, bloody taste to it. Fresh beef sliced thin and properly marinated would fix most of this. The noodles had no seasoning either. Not salty enough, not enough gravy and I couldn't taste any wok hei. Chow fun lives and dies by wok hei. Hotter wok and let the noodles sit long enough to pick up some char before tossing. Har gow was dry inside and overcooked so there wasn't much texture left to the shrimp. Pull it from the steamer a couple minutes earlier and it should keep that snap. Service was great though. The guy at the front was super friendly. One of the worst meals I've had in Seattle aside from the siu mai. I don't plan on coming back.

The servers are very friendly and attentive, checking in regularly even though it's an ayce shabu shabu restaurant. I've been here many times and always enjoy bringing friends back. We're always craving great-quality shabu shabu, and Raku never disappoints. The dining environment is wonderful as well. It's bright, clean, and comfortable, unlike many other places. The tables are never sticky, and even the restrooms are well maintained. I've always had a great dining experience here. And don't forget the best part: they serve high quality ice cream at the end of the meal. I'd say it's another must try at Raku! I can't wait to come back again!

Raku is a really solid shabu shabu spot in the Cap Hill neighborhood. I went for dinner there with…read moremy husband, who is vegetarian, and he was very happy with their options for him. When you go in and are seated, you order on an iPad at your table. I had the single set that included one meat option (I had the thinly sliced beef), one noodle (I had the fresh noodle) and one broth (I had the spicy mala broth) which was $36, and he had the single veggie set and chose the miso broth. I was surprised and impressed by the fact that they had more than one vegetarian broth option, when most hot pot places only have one. You then wait for them to bring your broth and meat to you, which each come in individual pots that you cook on your own stove. The AYCE portion here is the veggie bar and the sauce bar. The veggie bar includes a bunch of fresh vegetables, tofus, and seafood balls. You can load up with items from the buffet whenever you'd like, but don't go too crazy as you get charged money at the end if you don't finish what you grab. The sauce bar has everything you need to make your own personalized dipping sauce. I appreciated that everything was clearly labeled (because differentiating one dark brown liquid from another can get pretty dicey without labels). I found the individual stoves very responsive, which allows you to waste minimal time waiting for your broth to boil. It also makes it easy to turn your heat down when you're not actively cooking something, so that you don't have to worry about your broth boiling over or burning to the bottom. The vegetables are very fresh and delicious, and the meat that I had was lovely as well. I enjoyed the mala broth, found it to have a mild kick without being overly spicy, and my husband really enjoyed his vegetarian miso broth. Overall, the food here was great. I do wish that the vegetable bar also included things like noodles or dumplings, though, which I have seen at other hot pot restaurants. I do think that the veg bar selection could be larger, but the quality of what they do have is great. The restaurant is very clean, and seemingly well maintained. One odd thing, though, is the seating arrangement if you go as a duo/couple. Rather than having standalone two tops, they seat groups of two French style at a four top, across from another group of two, where the two groups are separated by a physical barrier in the middle of the table. I have no issues sitting French style, and often prefer it, but what this means is that on a busier night you will likely spend your meal sitting right across the table from a duo of strangers. No problems with this in principle, but in practice this means that you can hear their entire conversation and they can hear yours, but you can't see them, which does honestly feel kind of awkward. I understand why the restaurant does it, to maximize their space, but it is the one thing I didn't enjoy about the experience. The playlist here is also a bit random. Service is solid, quite unobtrusive but they are good at keeping your water filled and the buffet stocked. Overall this is a really solid option for shabu shabu, great for vegetarians, that we will likely visit again.
