    Shaggy dog roll and kids chicken Lo-Mein (half eaten)
    Lauren C.

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

    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

    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.

    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!

    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

    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!

    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.

    This place has so many different types of Asian food. From Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese foods. The food is very affordable and fresh. The restaurant is Interior is Modern Asian influenced.

    Edamame was delicious

    The ambiance is beautiful. The food was amazing, best ingredients in the area. The service is incredible, and super quick !

    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.

Between two people, we ordered: miso soup: as expected Chicken Combo Yakitori: 2 meats and one veggie, not bad salmon belly and salmon nigiri: amazing, Salmon was as expected, the salmon belly was better. Shrimp Toast: it was cute and really like the texture. Mushroom miso rice : 5/5 would get this again You have to pair this up with the eggplant miso cheese. Eggplant Miso cheese: 5/5 would get this again. Same, pair this up with the mushroom miso cheese. 1 Spider roll/ 2 tempura roll hand rolls: as expected. Special house roll: I would pass. The others were much more memorable. Tai sushi: It was amazing, it was light, refreshing, and citrus all at the same time. I wish I ordered this first but I was soooo full, I was struggling at this point. Not pictured, Kisu sushi: It had a strong taste and a slight rubber skin texture. It was nice to try it but I don't need to again. Not pictured, ray fin jerky: Someone ordered this and was meh bout it. it was sweet. I think I was the only one who liked it. I would highly recommend the following; mushroom miso rice, eggplant miso cheese, salmon belly, tai sushi. These are must haves. Ray fin jerky is a maybe if you like sweet jerky or not, this dish was a hit or miss at the table. Our waitresses were amazing and very sweet. One seems to be fairly new but I think she will do well with more experiences as she gets the hang of handling large parties. Our table was stable, but because of the angle from the windows, the light kind of blinded one of our friends in the face. I would recommend stronger blinds for the front. I really liked the decorations. They were all sea shaped based, like a few of the lights were "waves". I thought they were cute. Amazing place, I'm excited to come back again to try their other dishes like barracuda and aji fry! Also, free parking out front!

    I visited during lunchtime for the AYCE and it wasn't bad at all. I tend to lower my expectations…read morewhen it comes to AYCE and revolving sushi, but 25 Sushi House does it well. The selection is a bit more limited for lunch, but the price is lower than dinner as well. Being AYCE, I wouldn't expect the highest quality, type, and cut of fish, but what they had was pretty solid, tasted fresh, and was delicious. A minor complaint would be they had no sashimi option, even for the tamago which I personally believe is eaten best without rice, but that's just minor stuff considering the good value here. As much as I try to find a reason not to give this place an outstanding rating, if I compare it to the AYCE category of restaurants, it did everything right. They do have a regular a la carte menu, with a selection that looks like a treat in itself. As for me, I highly enjoyed their jalapeno bomb to start. I highly doubt they used snow crab, tasted like imitation crab, but I enjoyed it nevertheless and got another order at the end. I tried a few nigiri while I was here, with eel being my favorite (and thank goodness for no bones, which was lucky because it's eel). Their tacos were an unexpected standout and is worth a bite or two. Using sheets of nori and frying it to it holds up like a shell is pretty genius and more places need to do this. I had a good time with their Burning Alaska signature maki, which has salmon as the main star. The smokiness from torching was a killer! Their curry reminded me of S&B, which might very well be the mix they used. I was a bit disappointed to not see fish katsu as an option considered it's a sushi place, but I can see the katsu curry selection being a good option as a comfort dish. I wish I had the stomach space to try out new stuff, but maybe next time. Wish someone would post a photo of the salmon skin salad, because I'm a bit curious about that!

We genuinely wanted to support them. Unfortunately we could not bring ourselves to continue supporting business where the owner does not have business ethics, or perhaps human decency? (Turn out we are not the first with such unpleasantly disappointing treatment from the owner, and I am sure we will not be the last. If the owner decides to continue being rude and unprofessional to customers as well as treating customers like he is a social justice warrior all righteous and almighty, well good luck) Only if we knew sooner, by reading others' similar experiences/reviews as well as the owner responses to them with such rudeness and sarcasm, we could have prevented it from happening to us LOL

She made sure we had everything we needed and checked on us throughout the meal without being overbearing. It honestly made the whole experience much more enjoyable. The food was also amazing! Everything came out much faster than I expected, especially considering how busy the restaurant was. Despite the quick service, the food was hot, fresh, and tasted really good. You could tell everything was prepared well and served with care. Overall, I was very impressed with both the service and the food. Having a friendly waitress who genuinely seemed to care about making sure we had a good experience made a big difference. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good food, fast service, and great customer service. I'll definitely be coming back!

    I'm so sad. This was our FAVORITE sushi restaurant. Jaden (our regular server) was always amazing…read more Have no idea what has happened behind the scenes, but our last two experiences have not been good. We came back thinking maybe the last time was an anomaly and it was worse. To be fair, the food is still good. What's gone downhill is the service. When we first started coming, everyone's order came on their own plate so there was no mixing up rolls. They came quickly and second rounds were also ordered and fulfilled quickly. Now, they bring them out in waves with all the orders mixed up. If more than one person orders sashimi - it's all on one plate. It's just a very challenging situation when folks are at opposite ends of the table. And they slow roll (no pun intended) any order after your first. Tonight, our server, while sweet, took half our order then wandered off for help with the tablet. She then went to two other tables to take their orders before returning to ours. Which completely messed up the timing of the orders coming out. She failed to refill our drinks until we asked her twice. Sadly, we will not be returning and it is 100% because something has happened with management / back of bar. Not because the food is bad.
