    Crab rangoon - 7/10 - $5.95 Japenese spring roll - 7.5/10 - $9.95 Shrimp lo mein - 8/10 - $10.95 Lafayetta roll - 9/10 - $12.95 Shaggy dog roll - 8.5/10 - $11.50 Chiharu roll - 9.5/10 - $13.95 If youre looking for a sushi spot in the Katy area, I would recommend trying the sushi from here. It was so fresh and flavorful. We tried some of their specialty rolls and they were delicious. I probably wouldnt get their non-sushi items again but would go back to try some of their other rolls

    The shaggy dog roll was so good I had to order a second one! The prices are great, and the kids portion was generous.

    Chicken fried rice in the back. Crab Rangoon on the left and Pork Dumplings on the right. In the front is General Tso Plate (chicken)

    I absolutely love this place. I will always recommend it. The workers are so kind. I've been going there for the past year or so and I've loved it. The food isn't that expensive compared to other places. The environment is nice and it's usually neat. I would recommend anyone interested in eating another cuisine.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Pork Dumplings

    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!

    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!

    More like a 4.5 but I'll bump it up. Small restaurant with sticky floors but they get pretty…read morecrowded real quick and servers are nonstop running around trying to attend to everyone. It doesn't bother me that it's semi-dimmed and small. The food made up for it even though my back was to the main entrance door. Good parking spaces. There was a waitlist but we didn't wait for over 30 minutes. Best bang for your buck AYCE sushi at $29.99/person and their menu is THICK. Even for someone who is used to sushi, it was overwhelming at first. The tablet made it easier to order without feeling so needy to the already-so-busy servers. Cheaper at lunch time but menu has less options, mainly no sashimi and only ice-cream as desserts. My favorites are chicken karaage, kanpachi sashimi, yellowtail sashimi, salmon sashimi, Cajun albacore sashimi, spider roll, Starbucks roll, baked green mussels, and their mochi (I got strawberry and mango). I got a lot more but those are my favorite and highly recommend for you to try. Final destination sushi rolls are majority of the people's favorite, including my server's. Eel sashimi is on a grill, which was surprising and good. Wasabi was lacking the spice and I'm not a fan of pink ginger but it's an AYCE so not complaining. What I do suggest you to do is to stay away from hot cheesecake and ice cream tempura. Unfortunately, they most likely use the same batter batch with their meats/seafood and they fry it with their seafood/meat oil so all you taste is mainly seafood, which is quite disgusting when you want your desserts to be desserts. I love seafood but that was gross. I still ate the insides. Overall, a solid restaurant for AYCE sushi. I like that the majority of their sushi rolls are half and they don't kill you with so much rice. Plus, you have an option to not get AYCE if you're not too hungry.

I loved the all-you-can-eat option for $29.99 per person it's a great value. It gave me the option to try many new to me option items on the menu. I just wish I had more time to try more items since we were in a bit of a time crunch. This place has been listed as one of the top spots in Katy, and I can definitely see why. The food was fresh and came out quickly. Portions are small, which is perfect for trying a variety of dishes. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. They offer a lot of options and a full menu, so there's something for everyone. I recommend and will I'll definitely be back soon!

Whether you're out for a casual dinner or celebrating a special occasion, the ambiance immediately sets the tone for a great experience. What truly stood out was the staff. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and were happy to offer recommendations throughout the meal. Great service can elevate a dining experience, and this team absolutely delivered. Now for the sushi, and wow! You can tell there's real craftsmanship behind every roll that comes out of the kitchen. Each roll was beautifully presented, packed with fresh ingredients, and thoughtfully balanced in flavor. Too often sushi restaurants focus on appearance or oversized specialty rolls, but here the flavors were just as impressive as the presentation. Every bite felt intentional, with textures and ingredients working together perfectly. One unexpected highlight of the evening was trying rice beer for the first time. I'll admit I wasn't sure what to expect, but it ended up being one of my favorite discoveries of the night. It was crisp, refreshing, and paired exceptionally well with the sushi. I can definitely see why it's so popular, and it won't be my last time ordering it. Between the elegant atmosphere, exceptional service, expertly crafted sushi, and discovering a new favorite beverage, this was an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. Restaurants like this remind you that dining out isn't just about the food, it's about the entire experience. I'll absolutely be back, and next time I'll probably spend just as much time deciding which roll to order as I do admiring the presentation when it arrives.

I like the udon a lot even though the broth was a bit sweet for me. The tempura was delicious and perfectly fried. The hamachi collar was a large portion but a bit dry. We're used to having hamachi collar that is more buttery than what we had at twenty five. The sushi was ok too. Wasn't the best we've had but we expected that so we weren't let down by the sushi.

I had my birthday lunch there a few weeks ago and everything was excellent! I don't know what happened today. We had to repeatedly ask for the dishes we ordered. I even had to get up to find our server. We were there for an hour before the first item we ordered (from the kitchen) arrived at our table! It took so long we had to get it to go. We waited so long to get our shumai that I didn't have time to order my favorite udon. What we did get (2 sushi bar rolls) in a timely manner was excellent (Crazy roll). When my sister finally got her Philly roll she said it was good. My husband got his 2 pieces of kani sushi about 45 minutes in. The restaurant was not crazy busy so the only thing I can figure happened was that the kitchen lost our order. People that came in after us were served long before us (sushi and kitchen orders). Our server told us she gave us a discount ($5) for the issues. (They're having a $5 off special right now for everyone so no real compensation for the bad experience...) With our current financial situation, we are limiting our restaurant meals and to pay $19.99 per person for the three of us was supposed to be a treat. Sadly, it was not. We are severely regretting our decision to stop in for lunch at Sushi 9 today.
