This is a really cool Izakaya that we came across after a festival that has really good food and…read moredrinks. It feels like a Tokyo alley way with different rooms for different groups of people. They can accommodate a large group of people where you can feel a little privacy from the main area. As far as food, this is pretty standard as far as Izakaya, but the main thing I say is truly worth it is the Tuna Trio Roll. Definitely worth it. We ordered some other items but I'd say that's the best roll you can get. We also ordered the Sushi Dragon Balls which is a fun looking dish. Just regular in my opinion. This place provides a great vibe with drinks and a bunch of Japanese izakaya food. It also provides a great vibe at the bar area as well.

We got a booth, which was really comfortable for the two of us. They have some great lunch deals and I went with the Nana Special, which was perfect for someone like me who loves a little variety. We also ordered the truffle fries, karaage, and skewers. The Nana Special was beautifully presented and surprisingly filling. I really enjoyed all the different elements, textures, and flavors. It made for a fun and satisfying meal. Would definitely recommend checking this place out, especially for lunch!

We arrived during…read moretheir lunch hours, but we were really looking forward to trying some dinner items, so we mentioned this to our server, and she quickly accommodated us. Amber was patient, pleasant, and helpful in providing much-needed details about the menu. I ordered the Open Combo Skewer and he ordered the Combo Hibachi with Chicken & Shrimp, as well as two sides of Hibachi Fried Rice. The food was delicious and hot. The meat and vegetables were well- seasoned not salty. Portion size was very satisfying, definitely enough to enjoy at a later time. We usually don't leave room for dessert but today we made an exception and went all in. The Oolong Tea Cheesecake was delicate, with light flavors and a smooth texture. The Momo Musu and the Mango Mousse Bear were exceptional. We immediately enjoyed the Peach and Mango flavors, the overall presentation, and the fresh fruit and whipped cream that accompanied it. (These two are a must when you visit) I've been eyeing Mihana for a while now, and am so happy we decided to give it a try. It was well worth it. Clean and Serene environment, that would be comfortable for a lunch date or a group gathering. This was really one of the best Japanese food experiences that I've had in some time. I highly recommend this establishment, and we can't wait to return!

But at last, as I searched on DoorDash I stumbled upon this glorious restaurant they call Izakaya Fuku. I was drawn to the adorable names for their sushi roll dishes like "Strawberry Fields" and their Italian Japanese fusion pasta dishes, "Creamy Mentaiko Bacon Pasta" with creamy mayonnaise, spicy cod roe and bacon like are you kidding me? It's a bummer I wasn't more hunger or that I didn't have more bucks in my wallet because I wanted all these dishes. And the Chirashi Don, god it looks so beautiful the way that it's arranged in the photos online. I finally decided on the carbonara. And I was drawn to the fact that it was udon based. Now, I've just been living in hawaii these past years so that Japanese twist on an Italian dish that I just love oh so much really brought me back to missing the islands and the Asian spins they had on cuisines. Now my food may have not come in a jiffy but for after midnight cravings I'd say it was well worth the wait. And my oh my the portion was huge!!!! I slurped that big boy up. It was SOOO delicious and savory. I love comfort food and this had me in carbonara heaven. I loved indulging into every single last bite. By the looks of the picture the restaurant looks lovely, I'd love to stop there and try it in person. Thank you. Thank you! My belly and my heart are very much satisfied.

We arrived around 6-7pm on a Sunday night, and the place was full. We only waited a few minutes and decided to sit at the bar. The restaurant is dimly lit, plenty of space, clean. The ambiance was really nice. After looking at the menu, this isn't your ordinary sushi restaurant, there's a wide variety of Japanese dishes. We started with the sake clam miso. I love calms so it's a must. There were plenty of them, and the flavor was light. The broth had a hint of alcohol, which was nice. Then we had the sashimi salad. This was amazing. The sashimi were nicely, thinly cut, and marinated in dressing. The greens were a excellent compliment. This dish is a must. My wife got the ube fries, and she loved them. They were nicely fried. For our mains, she got the Uni Hon Maguro Hara Don. It's a combination of different sashimi over rice. WOW. The sashimi was so fresh, literally melts in your mouth. It was delicious. For my main, I went with the sukiyaki beef udon. I was still nursing a slight hangover so this was perfect. The broth was just what I needed, light but it healed my soul. There was plenty of beef in the bowl, and the udon noodles were great. The broth could've been a little hotter but overall it was fantastic. The service was excellent. The bartender was very friendly. We were so happy and satisfied with our choices. Everything exceeded our expectations. This was literally the perfect choice/meal. WOW.

Craving ramen, I discovered this place on Yelp and walked in asking for a table for 4. After about a 15 min wait, we were seated at a lovely booth. The menu featured almost too many items, kind of like a Japanese izakaya diner of sorts-- they had everything from ramen to donburi to sushi and izakaya classics. My partner felt like this was too many items to offer to possibly execute anything very well, so he was skeptical. We were hungry and ordered quite a bit of food, including fried squid legs, karaage, gyudon, veggie ramen, beef noole soup, and a scallop roll. The scallop roll was not very flavorful, and the karaage's pieces were too big. Otherwise, everything was pretty tasty, including the veggie ramen, which I found surprising. Food came out quickly and service was kind and not overbearing. Would totally recommend if you're in the area.

Not to mention, it's open really late so...if you have a hankering for sushi or Japanese food at an ungodly hour, this place will scratch that itch. I'm not a sushi lover, but I love me some Japanese food. I love that Raku's menu is tapa-styled so you can order a bunch of small plates for yourself or to share. One thing I will say - the quality of food is not as consistent as it should be. Everything here is very good, but some days it is better than others, which is why I will only give it four stars instead of five. Some of my favorite dishes: fried shishito peppers, fried rice (probably some of the the best fried rice in the area), karaage, agedashi tofu, and the garlic steak - all bangers. Fort Lee is known for its incredible Asian food, and Raku is definitely a casual spot to add to your list!
