Salmon, tuna nigiri and rainbow roll
Aaron T.

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

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.

White Tonkotsu Ramen

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

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

Sushi for 4

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

$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.

Shrimp Tempura appetizer
Lori C.

My most recent visit to Raku was just as delicious as every other visit has been. There is not a single item I've tried here that hasn't been delicious. The service is always super friendly and this visit we sat in the sunroom on a sunny spring day for lunch. It was comfortable and not too warm or cool in there. I love sitting in this area of the restaurant and I think it's one of their best features of their dining room. This time I ordered a bento box with chicken since I couldn't decided between sushi and a hot item. It was the perfect combination of flavors I was looking for and I'll definitely order this again.

Sushi and Ramen
Jennifer I.

Their lunch specials run from from 11am-3pm.The sushi was good. Ramen was good, but not super. The service was very quick and with plenty of seating available. Great spot for big groups. I would definitely order their sushi and ginger salad again.

Rena H.

Best sushi we've had in the Winston-Salem area - Raku has moved up to our top spot! I don't have stunning photos because we ordered delivery but WOW was this amazing. We ordered the Geisha roll, Rainbow roll, two spicy tuna rolls, and the shrimp shu mai. All were fantastic. The Geisha is a must have . The spicy tuna rolls were substantial and had a great kick mixed into the fish - not just a dollop of hot sauce on the regular tuna. Everything tasted fresh. Can't say that about many other "sushi" places around here unfortunately. I'm obsessed. If this were closer to downtown, I'd be there all the time. Excited to work my way through this menu.

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.

Tucked behind Harper Hills Common business center close to Harris Teeter…read more The restaurant is decorated beautifully and it is very clean. They have Malaysian food and a specialty menu for khmer food. Khmer food is not knowned much in the east but its beginning to be more learned about and popular. There food is rich in flavor and there cuisine is mostly known for there use of fresh herbs, coconut milk and aromatic spice paste;known as kroeung(lemon grass paste). I decided to try some entrees from the Khmer menu. I tryed the Malaysian Roti appetizer with side curry. It is so so delicous. The curry is tasty too but a little too sweet for my taste. Main entrees I tryed was the chicken kroeung (sour lemongrass soup) and the braised pork meat on bone cooked in soy sauce( Malaysian style but Khmer people have a similar dish). The chicken kroeung is soup for the soul, filled with alot of green veggies and best eaten with white rice. The braised pork meat is great too. Cooked just right and seasoned good. Its not sweet or salty. Usually I would try braised meat in soy at other restaurants either it would be way too sweet or salty but they made theres just right. Now the Southeastern asian cooking is not for everybody or those who have only tried chinese or japanese food. If you'd like to try something different but oh sooo delicous,khmer cusine is for you!! The staff is very welcoming,friendly and informative. Food came out hot,quick and tasty(bursting of aromatic flavors). I met the owner too. He mentioned he also have a donut shop called Intown donuts and Boba tea..down the road on Jonestown Road. Will definitely dine here again and try there other menu items. Next time am going to try the donut shop before I come here since it closed earlier.

On my latest visit, I wanted to try yet another item on the Khmer Menu (Cambodia dishes for the…read moremost part) - it was listed and pictured as Peking Duck. But when I ordered it the manager,Tony Tan, said the dish was actually 1/2 Roasted Duck! I went with the duck(which includes steamed rice), and added Baby Bok Choy, a nicely stir-fried dish that goes very well as a side item with a great many Asian entrees! These items made up a very nice meal. The duck is chopped into chunks with bone in, and is plated with a nice amount of rich broth, with just a hint of sweetness. The chunked up approach for the duck does result in some small pieces of bone to be picked through, in some cases fairly carefully. The picking through the bones was definitely worth it. I'm looking forward to trying additional Cambodian dishes.

You HAVE to try this ramen place. I am drooling thinking about how incredible this spot was. My…read morebest friend and I were on a road trip from Richmond, VA to Asheville and this was the halfway point. We were heading to AVL for my bachelorette and throughout the weekend we kept going "GOD THAT RAMEN WAS SO GOOD!" We came on a Wednesday evening. It took a little to get seated and service was on the slower side, but it was worth it. There was a lot of indoor seating and we were seated at a booth. They have mens and womens restrooms at this restaurant. And a lot of free parking out front in their parking lot. We started off with an Alaska roll as an appetizer. This was really delicious! We knew we were off to a great start. I got the black garlic ramen and my best friend got the red spicy oil ramen. We were in heaven. This ramen is beyond delicious. The rich garlicy broth of mine was perfection. Each element was so yummy. I would drive the 3.5 hours back just to get this ramen again. I highly recommend going.

He (an African American male) was treated terribly from the moment he went inside. First, the receptionist acted funny toward him and non-friendly, as if he was stealing someone else's order. That was strike number 1. Then, when he got home, we realized our order was absolutely wrong. We were missing the Spider Rolls and the yellow tail. We spent almost $70 so of course, this was irritating. He called the restaurant on his way to get the missing items and once again, the receptionist was rude. She questioned if he knew what yellow tail and spider rolls looked like. Questioning and insulting his intelligence as a grown man. That was strike number 2. He asked to speak to a manager and he said there wasn't one and he would need to come tomorrow to speak to one....yeah ok. He told her that wouldn't be necessary because he was pulling up to the restaurant in about a minute. When he came in she continued to argue with him about his order and told him, he needed to bring it back...why would he bring back the items that were right in the order, when he was there for the MISSING ITEMS?! Not to mention, that's extremely unsanitary! She would not help him but instead argued so badly with him that the chef had to come out of the kitchen. The receptionist spoke to my husband as if he was a child. She talked to him as if he was a thief and a liar. Strike number 3. The chef then told my husband, he would take care of the missing items for him and to not worry. Now, why couldn't the receptions in treat him with the same respect and dignity that the chef did? I'll tell you why. She racially profiled him because of the demographics of the city where the restaurant is located. She treated him as if he was uncultured, ignorant, and a liar. We will never be back and will be sure to write every single person that matters and leave reviews all over the internet exposing this racist establishment. I will be sure that everyone knows exactly what happens when a black person enters the restaurant.

I ordered my ramen with no egg and spicy and it came with no spice and an egg. Disappointing to say the least because I've heard great things and expected better since in the short period of time we were there, so many people came in to pickup takeout orders. There was 2 pieces of thinly sliced pork in my ramen and it was mostly mushrooms. The broth was super flavorful I just wish I had more spice. Based off my experience, I wouldn't be interested in returning on my own. I'd visit if a group of friends wanted to go or for takeout to give them another try.
