I have been here a few times in the past and decided to revisit (twice). The interior is beautiful. My only negative is that both times no one was at the entrance, so we waited around awkwardly until some came out to let us know we could seat ourselves. During lunch time on a Friday, it was moderately busy. My friend at the kung pow beef with fried rice and I had the shrimp lo mein. It was really good that I decided to go back for my daughter's 15th birthday during dinner time. We ordered three California rolls (no cucumber, add cream cheese), the Kung pow chicken and Kung pow beef both with fried rice, and a kids size orange chicken. Nothing was left on the table. We enjoyed every bite! read more

I tend to stay away from multi-style restaurants unless they are the fusion variety and even then I'm very selective. Rakuu surprised me. They have a nice selection of Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese dishes. Every dish we ordered tasted exactly like it should have. It was pleasantly surprised as usually mixed selections like these miss a step. The staff were very nice and the owner/mgmt appeared to be on site. The restaurant was extremely clean and well lit. It was quiet for a Sunday but I wouldn't take point away for that. Definitely a return drive in the world. read more

The Food was amazing, though the place was empty upon arrival the atmosphere and ambience did not disappoint, we where greeted as soon as we entered, by far the best "Crab Rangoons" I've ever had, fair priced and perfectly portioned. 10/10 will be be back soon read more

We had a great meal at RaKuu! The space was clean and modern with a mix of traditional Asian decor. They had a great variety of dishes and their prices were incredibly reasonable! I got the phò and a sushi roll, my husband got the kung pao chicken and a roll, and the kids each got a roll as well. We started with the crab Rangoon and the Vietnamese eggroll and all were pretty good. My phò brother was exceptional, the one critique would be that I could tell the chicken was boiled, it was a little tough, and completely flavorless in the broth, not integrated into the dish, but its own bland entity. That was disappointing. My husbands dish was zesty and full of flavor, all the rolls were awesome. We had to sent back my son's roll cause it wasn't made to our specifications the first time, but they were quick to make it right. The darling, soft spoken lady that served us was an absolute delight and we loved her right away. She was so helpful and cheerful and she made sure we were happy with everything. I would definitely go back again! read more

RAKUU is my go to food for delivery. I have never dined in but have had delivery numerous times. I have had the Vietnamese rolls, spring rolls and egg drop soup. My favorites are the Lomein with shrimp beef and chicken and the lettuce wrapped chicken. Today I had their California roll sushi. There are still many more items to try and I will definitely be trying them out. read more

Was so excited to try this place out because the menu has a lot of options and the pricing is very reasonable. I wanted everything on the menu but decided on spicy garlic edamame, shaggy dog roll and chicken pad thai. The edamame lacked seasoning. Lots of garlic but it was missing something. The shaggy dog roll looked delicious and I was unpleasantly surprised. After biting into my roll, the shrimp tempura on the inside was hard as if the shrimp was reheated. That wasn't my only surprise... my shaggy dog was spicy only to find that it actually came with fresh jalapeños inside? I have had lots of sushi, all over the world and this was my first time experiencing jalapeños in my shaggy dog. Something I did not appreciate. read more

The food and customer service is absolutely amazing. From the moment I walked in the door SHEILA made my welcome extraordinary. I am very big on greeting a potential customer whether you believe they will order or not I have been here before but never for takeout. Spicy garlic edamame is to die for.... The taste and seasoning is delicious. I never had it before and this is the only place I will eat it. The fresh munched garlic gives an unwavering flavor Lettuce wraps were absolutely delicious and a full.serving. There were 6 pieces of lettuce and I broke those in half and had 12 slices so it was enough. I absolutely would recommend them for all of your healthy needs. My other favorite is the New Orleans rice but I did not order this time because I wanted to eat lightly. I always enjoy my trips to RAKUU. I will be back read more

I've visited this restaurant many times and often brought friends because I love their sushi rolls, and the sushi chef has always been fun and friendly. Dead sure my previous visit will be my last. I overheard a conversation between an employee and the old waitress who usually serves us, the chinese woman around 65-70 yo while I went to the restroom. She was saying things like how 'Black people are nasty,' how a 'Black woman complained there's a hair in her food to get free food when it's her own hair,' and how 'Black people like to steal.' I was shocked and could not believe what I was hearing. No matter how much I like the food, I cannot support a place where such offensive and racist comments are made. This experience was deeply disturbing and felt like a punch to the gut. I will not be returning. read more

First time here - loved it. Very calm and peaceful atmosphere. Pretty decor and settings. The server was working very hard and bussed all tables herself. She did a great job. It wasn't very busy tho - we came on a Sunday @7:30pm. Food was delicious! Great menu with lots of variety but we came specifically for the sushi this time. Next time might try something else. We got the dumplings and egg rolls as an appetizer and The shaggy dog roll and heaven fire roll as our main meal. Dumplings were very tasty and egg rolls were so good and HOT/fresh. We weren't too much of a fan of the sauce that came with the dumplings but we were ok with that because they were good without anything. Both sushi rolls were absolutely fabulous. We will be back! read more

My wife and I love Rakuu! The food is always amazing and the service never disappoints! Great experience every time!

First time here. The food is excellent, the place is clean however there was only one server and 6 tables one being a large party. She did her best under the circumstances and I wasn't really in a hurry so all is good. The Green Dragon Roll was delicious as were the Japanese Spring Rolls. I will definitely be back to try other things. The menu has a lot of options First time here.

Ordered food for pick up. Sushi was not fresh. Specialty rolls $15 tasted and were packed as $6 rolls from a gas station.

Mongolian beef with steamed rice did not disappoint, and wifey had the chicken pad Thai which was meh. Altogether, very nice establishment and we will definitely be back! read more

We went here yesterday and were very disappointed. The food looked good BUT very disappointed. The rice that they bought out old microwaved fried rice. Then we let the waitress know that the rice tasted old. She apologized and I kid you not came back out 3 minutes later. The rice was just put back in the microwave and more add. The rice was so hot that you couldn't even try it. Not acceptabl. The miso soup, egg rolls, general tao chicken were alright. I don't see myself going back. read more

Rakuu is the place to go when you want some delicious sushi. We were welcomed and seated the moment we walked in by the nicest waitress. The ambiance of Rakuu is inviting and quiet. It is in a small plaza that I feel keeps others from knowing it is there. We started with some steamed pork dumplings, which were so good. Then I ordered a miso soup while my husband ordered the wonton soup. Both were great in flavor. Then we ordered the Lafayette roll and the Hanbun roll. My husband ordered the vermicelli combo and he enjoyed it too. read more

This place really epitomises the Ying/Yang concept in that it's part great and part bad. First, the place is clean and roomy and we were seated right away. Our waitress was super friendly, but spent most of her time sitting at a booth looking at her phone. We had to do a little work to get her attention, but when we had it she was nice. I ordered Miso Soup (I wanted teh Rakuu soup but apparently they don't have it at that location), smoked salmon sashimi, house salad, and orange chicken. My wife ordered the Vermicelli Combo and Escolar Nigiri. So here's the rundown: Salad=Great. Fresh vegetables with a delicious fressing. Miso soup=Bland and luke warm. A no go. Sashimi/Nigiri-Both were good. Orange chicken-Had potential but the chicken was dry and tough Vermicelli Combo-My wife loved it and said it was really good. In the end it was a 3 star experience, but not good enought to go back. read more

I visit here, after taking my son to That's my Dog, for the second time today. Rakuu, decor is really sexy, and intimate from the cloth felt menus, to the wall style. I tried the crawfish & avocado sushi it's served warm. It tasted amazing. I will defiantly return with my son to try the Louisiana fried rice. This is a cute date spot. read more

The food was horrible. I also found a hair in my food. I order phai thai and it had zero spice. Do not waste your time.

Great food. We really liked their chicken fried rice, Philadelphia roll and Shaggy dog roll!

We totally came in tonight by chance and I must say this place is fantastic. Everything we had was fresh and full of flavor. The staff was was courteous and attentive. We were definitely becoming back here often! My wife has already planned our next visit here and at this point the hardest obstacle she will face is what she will order. read more

We had appetizers, a sushi roll and a main dish and it was all excellent. Aesthetically pleasing and very clean. Service was wonderful too!

Food was good and had plenty of flavor, I would definitely come back again, and the server was great and tentative to us. The ambiance and decor was very modern deco. We had the pan fried pork dumplings, Tonkotsu Ramen soup, and the Shaggy Dog Roll. Everything was on point flavor wise, the soup could've used a bit more pork, but outside that, it was a great meal. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with my initial visit. While it is amidst Covid, masks were work by all staff and sanitizer was readily available. They also made sure they socially distanced each guest. I was joined by my hubby. Service was prompt and friendly. We tried the Vietnamese egg rolls- they were perfectly cooked and just the right crunch. We also had the combo fried rice and beef lo-me in, both were seasoned perfectly and had a burst of flavor. We tried the following rolls- Tiger Eye, Green Dragon and Rocket Roll. All were delish Let me say we were super stuffed and had more than one to go box to bring home. I definitely recommend this restaurant and I will be returning very soon. read more

Walking in the scenery opened my eyes and we were immediately seated. The menus we were handed were unlike any other menu I've seen with amazing pictures of the dishes they serve. We ordered our drinks and we're given a good amount of time to browse their menu. The food came out really quick and smelled amazing right off the bat. I had the Ganseki Roll which was the first dish delivered to the table and I immediately started drooling based off the presentation. The taste was so shocking, given that I haven't heard anything about this restaurant in the 2-3 years it has been established and I knew I definitely had to leave a 5-star review. Thank you RaKuu for such an amazing experience! I will return to explore more of the menu. read more

My husband and I really enjoy the Sesame Beef and Generals Chicken. I love that their chicken isn't huge balls of chicken like some of these other local business do. It's nice and crispy. The fried rice is ok, but that's not the star of the dish! I'll be back again. read more

The food is great! Flavored to perfection! Great Atmosphere . Great dinner jazz music ! Great customer service. One of my favorite spots!

This place has it all. Chinese, sushi, ramen, pho, and Thai--not to mention the biggest kids menu I have ever seen. I usually steer clear of places with big menus, but honestly, everything we tried was delicious and had so much flavor. My kids had the chicken pho and egg rolls. Husband had sushi and the beef lo mein. I loved the spicy chicken ramen--way better than Jinya and a lot cheaper too. read more

The food was so good here and the prices were so reasonable. We have a hibachi grill in College Station that is outrageously priced and the restaurant is really gross. So to find this little hidden spot was amazing they sushi rolls were freshly made and the noodle soup was so delicious my daughter wish she would have got it. The sun is peeking heater the steam rice but that was good enough for him. I really enjoyed the price I restaurant and the service. read more

best general chicken i have had in the area. all white meat in batter and the sauce was so good and sticky. this is my to go to now for. it comes with a small white rice. you can substitute for fried rice i believe for 1.50 more. the fried rice had a good flavor. not a lot of char meat but i guess enough for the portion size. my sister had the ramen soup. can't remember the exact name but she really liked it. she said it has good flavor and the char pork on it as well. the sushi she said was alright. different texture in rice than what she is use to. read more

This place is up the street from us. Verrrrrry good sushi my son usually gets TWO orders of the Philadelphia roll and some miso soup. They lack low carb dishes but have the chicken lettuce wraps for an appetizer (huge portion!) I ordered the tofu and it was too sweet for us and they took it off the bill. Ordered plain chicken and veggies with jalapeño, it was exactly what I wanted! If you ask they can make it, try them!!! read more
