rich and delicious...
Ray F.

Got sushi to go one night and it was really very good. We called it in and picked it up at the drive thru window. We ordered a variety of items and each was good in its own rights. The person at the window was very kind and friendly, and made sure our order was correct before driving away. A first for a drive thru and it made our customer service experience much better. Veggie dumplings were good and had a nice sear to them, with juicy tasty filling these are good. The Yellowfin Poke, another good choice for us, a decent serving of succulent tuna with seaweed and a lite coating of seasame oil tossed with some seeds. The California roll was classically prepared and true to type. A decent roll with nice flavor and proportions. The Shrimp with mushrooms and broccoli, again a decent portion with lots of tender whole shrimp, sauteed mushrooms and steamed broccoli. This is a good meal as well, nicely prepared and good flavor. Then for dessert, we tried the Tempura fried Cheesecake, a decadent treat and interesting twist to cheesecake. Batter dipped and flash fried to golden brown, with a chocolate drizzle. Enough to share, and very rich. 4 Stars - great customer service, worth a visit and your support. 01103

The atmosphere is always light and welcoming, and the smells from the kitchen are amazing. Our absolute favorite appetizer is the calamari, the fried portion crispy and the squid tender. The Ramen is by far the best I've ever had, and have tried every one they have on the menu. Every one has its own depth of flavor that seems to get better with each bite. The amount you receive for the price is amazing as well! This is always a favorite place to go!

Great Sushi here. Very fresh. This is the one place that I make sure I sit at the sushi bar. Why you wait they serve you the best little salad. They have draft beer which always nice and a good selection of sake. I've had other dishes on other visits and nothing has ever disappointed. This place is worth a try

White Tonkotsu ramen with no meat.

I go here multiple times a year, it is the best ramen spot hands down. The White Tonkotsu ramen is my go-to, the broth and eggs are my favorite part. The staff is always very nice, I never feel judged or rushed. Most of the time, I do not like when a restaurant doesn't have booths, but for some reason I find the vibe of the tables to be a nice touch. It's always clean, the staff seem to genuinely like working there.

Maybe i ordered the wrong thing but this was nasty . Spicy crab salad wasn't good either . It's kind of expensive for low grade food .

Paradise Roll
Cynthia N.

I was craving sushi and needed a place to celebrate the weekend was here so I went with my boyfriend for the first time. The sashimi was very fresh and drinks were perfect in taste. Beautiful presentations and the flavor DELIVERED. The paradise roll is my favorite mainly because of how unique it was to have a glazed banana in our roll! The ramen was ok, probably would say the sushi is better than the ramen in my opinion. The boiled egg for the ramen was overcooked. Service was kind and fairly fast for the amount of people there on a Friday dinner!

We were in town for a volleyball tournament in Bermuda Run, we searched Yelp and saw this place had good reviews, so why not! Really nice ambiance, when you first walk in you can see the sushi bar but the main dining area were surrounded by windows. Which was a nice atmosphere to look out & enjoy dinner. We order the chicken red spicy oil ramen which was amazing if you love spicy , flavors & ramen go for it ! We also had the pork gyoza rolls which were good, Shrimp shumai dumplings were a little mushy but not bad, we also ordered rolls that were listed on the boardas specials! One roll had shrimp tempura topped with salmon & spicy tuna. I loved that they were wrapped in a different paper. The other roll was a king lobster and shrimp roll with mango. I was so ready to dig in I literally forget the names, I believe one was the drama roll. And to end our night with tried the tempura cheesecake! Which was amazing!!!! Try it, I just wish it was fried a little longer. Towards the top it was still a little cold but it was great, so yummy! Our server was very attentive and super nice! If you are in the area please go! They also have Thai, hibachi and a very big menu for everyone's taste buds. We will be back!!!

Raku is our favorite sushi restaurant in the Triad area. They have great sushi (5/5) and ramen soup (5/5), and their other appetizers and food is really good too (4.5/5). The ambiance is casual and relaxed. The service is good (4/5), but is sometimes a little impersonal. In addition to the taste, food presentation is one of the highlights. They always make so a great job with making the food look good. My family highly recommends Raku.

Pork buns
Waldemar G.

We started this visit with some Duck Buns & Pork Buns the duck bun was delicious only thing I would change is the amount of green onions on it a little bit less would have made it perfect , the pork bun was good but I would do it without all the raw peanuts on it not a good combination all together they get 8 out of 10 We also got the fancy lobster rolls and California rolls along with some smoked salmon , shrimp,crab, sea urchin sashimi the service was very good and fast , since we were the only one inside at the time and because it was Christmas Eve we made sure to leave them a good tip

$1.36 to use CC

Though Sushi and Ramen are the go to items for many who dine here, this rather upscale spot offers a fairly varied menu, with some interesting items worth sampling - appetizers like Gyoza, Hamachi Kama. Duck Rolls, Scallion Pancakes, and Soft Shell Crab - and more: Dan Dan Noodles, traditional Benton Boxes, Hibachi & Teriyaki, and Poke Bowls! On this visit I was on my own but decided to sample several items, and settled on Dan Dan Noodles and the Soft Shell Crab appetizer. I also chose a large Kirin (25 ounces for $8.32, a seemingly odd price). The Soft Shell Crab was out first, accompanied by some unseasoned, undressed shredded lettuce with a bit of carrot ( utterly tasteless) and a cold, soy based sauce with a nice flavor. The crab was well coated in a tempura manner, and nicely fried. It was very tasty and was even better dipped in the sauce. Would order again, if I come again. The Dan Dan Noddles were out in another 5 minutes or so, and this is a large amount of food. I have tried this dish more than a few times (New Sichuan in Winston, Gourmet China in Greensboro, Super Wok in Cary) and this is the most against the norm version I've ever encountered, and a dish I would not consider reordering! This dish has several key components and a standard process of cooking and assembling. First the broth - there was little of it; it was brown rather than the traditional red, with a cloying taste and no discernible heat factor, thus the lack of red coloration. There were no pickled mustard greens, another traditional item, though often excluded in the US due to availability - but the lack of it reduces the inherent complexity of this traditional Sichuan dish. The noodles were tasty but clumped together in a tangled mess, nearly impossible to untangle into an edible amount in any socially acceptable manner. Too much work for too little reward! Definitely not a reorder item. The environment here is pleasant, attractive, with soft colors and lighting, instrumental music playing soothingly in the background. The service was good, attentive and personable. They charge a onerous 4% for credit card use ( and their "suggested" tip is based on full amount including sales tax and CC charge), and as is my practice I reduced the tip by an equivalent amount, and any tip, however adjusted is based on the the check total less sales tax, less CC charge! This pushing for more tips needs to be pushed back, strongly! Will ponder on a return visit, but probably not, there are other places with equal or better dishes at a better value.

The food was amazing, and the people are very friendly. One of the best ramen's that I have ever eaten

This place is very good and the staff is also great! The "outside" patio room (which is really just a room with floor to ceiling windows) is really pretty and a nice spot to sit. Its actually bright yet tranquil with their super long LED fireplace in the wall. I have not sat inside yet because I just like the brightness and feel of that enclosed patio room. The sushi is very good (and this is coming from a NYC gal). Normally we get a bunch of rolls to share but this time my parents and I got the sushi boat and it was delish. We don't like soft shell crab - and you can't substitute which was a bummer so we just left that one roll and didn't eat it. Our server overheard me talking and must have heard me mention it was my dad's birthday or heard me say happy birthday while we were toasting with our Sake but they surprised us with a birthday dessert with a candle. It was super cute. Every time I fly in this is a must stop on the way to or from the airport! There is a different price for Cash vs Credit Card and if you sign up for their emails you get a Birthday discount

Any recommendation os a soup that is good? Spicy even better ! TIA

Red spicy oil ramen with pork belly (or chicken if you prefer)

Do they have outside dining? If so, dog friendly?

They have an enclosed "patio" equipped with big glass doors that they open when the weather is nice. Not dog friendly though.

The service was really nice throughout our visit! The inside is beautiful. It is a little more intimate and it's not a huge space but it's well utilized. My husband ordered the Ichiraku Classic Shoyu Ramen with chicken broth, and it was a much better fit for his taste than the pork ramen he tried on our previous visit. He found the previous broth a little too rich, so choosing a different bowl made a big difference this time. Our son loved his tonkotsu ramen and gave it a 10/10. I ordered the seafood ramen, and my overall experience was a 9/10. We also ordered spring rolls and calamari on a stick. The calamari got mixed reactions from our table: my husband thought it was okay, our son ultimately wasn't a fan, and I enjoyed it but wanted a little more seasoning. I'm the squid fan in the family, and I'd give that appetizer a 6.5/10. Dessert was a highlight! The Oreo tempura had that familiar fried-Oreo taste with a tempura coating. We also received a complimentary sample of red bean ice cream, which was creamy, delicious, and a hit with all three of us. I showed our son how to pair the ice cream with the Oreo tempura, and that made it even better. Both desserts were a 10/10 for us! Our out-of-pocket total was approximately $46 for the additional items, including three drinks, with the two complimentary ramen bowls excluded. We appreciated the friendly service and the opportunity to try more of the menu. If you order dessert, definitely try the Oreo tempura and red bean ice cream together!
