    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.

    Ordered A LOT of dim sum and dumplings. Would say it's definitely worth it if you're looking for…read moredumplings

    I've dined at this location five times now and the customer service could be a little better. We…read morewere the only ones in the restaurant this time, but you would've thought they had a packed house based on how slowly everything moved. Just for the waitress to come back to the table to get our order papers took entirely too long. Outside of the service the restaurant itself is large, spacious, and clean, with plenty of room for large parties to gather and dine. I came this time to try the Houston Restaurant Weeks menu, and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious, filling, and cooked to perfection. For dinner Dough Zone Dumpling House offers five courses plus a drink for only $39, which is one of the most generous HRW menus I've seen. It's definitely worth trying, especially if you haven't dined here before. Of everything I've ordered my favorites were the green onion pancakes, pork & crab soup dumplings, chicken potstickers, and pan fried chicken wontons. I also really enjoyed the flavor of the hot and sour glass noodles just not so much the noodles themselves. Also whenever you're dining at Dough Zone the soup dumplings are ALWAYS a must! This is a great spot whether you're trying the HRW menu or dining from the regular menu. The prices are affordable, there's plenty of seating, a lot of drink options, and the restaurant is very clean. My only recommendation would be to improve the customer service and overall attentiveness.

    5 Stars - Authentic Szechuan that absolutely nails the classics…read more During our short trip to Houston, as a custom, we were determined to find real Szechuan food, and luckily we found Hu's Kitchen. The location is a bit unassuming, and parking is definitely tough (the spaces are very shallow), but the second we walked through the doors and smelled the Szechuan peppercorns, I knew we were in exactly the right place. I generally judge a Szechuan restaurant by their 夫妻肺片 (Fuqi Feipian)--which they cleverly name "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" on the menu. They completely nailed it. The beef, tripe, and tendon were incredibly cohesive together, yet you could tell each component was prepared and marinated in a slightly different way to perfectly highlight its specific texture. The chili oil was right on the spot. We went through a massive bowl of rice just eating this dish alone. Honestly, if I weren't feeding a family of four, I could have just ordered that and been perfectly happy. While the Fuqi Feipian proves their skill with dry dishes, the 水煮魚片 (Fish in Szechuan Hot Chili Oil) proves their skill with wet ones. It's another must-order. The execution was flawless--we didn't just finish the tender fish chunks, we ate every last piece of cabbage soaked in that incredible chili broth. For my two daughters who can't handle the heat, we ordered the fried rice, garlic pork ribs with onion, and the 紅燒獅子頭 (Giant Meatball with Cabbage). The giant meatball was spectacular. The kids completely devoured it on their own, but I managed to steal a bite, and it instantly brought back childhood memories of exactly how this dish is supposed to taste. We also had the Dan Dan Noodles, which were great and rounded out the meal perfectly. I loved all of the dishes we tried. Should we ever find ourselves in Houston again, we will absolutely be revisiting this hidden gem.

    My mom wanted steamed fish with ginger, scallions, and that light sweet soy sauce. Hu's Cooking…read moredelivered! When we ordered, they mentioned it'll take about 20 mins but it came out in 10. No complaints here since we were starving from an 8 hour road trip. The Dan Dan Noodles...I had high expectations but sadly this dish fell short. I recommend Hu's Cooking to use a bigger bowl and more sauce because it was difficult to mix the noodles and the sauce wasn't...saucing, unfortunately. I wish there was more flavor in this dish. The Scallion Pancake was super over-fried and oily. See image in my review. The outer parts of the pancake were fried to a crisp and only a small circumference in the center stayed chewy. I know Chinese tends to be oily but this pancake soaked up way too much oil. Half a Peking duck: super great price for so much meat. The difficulty when eating this dish is gnawing the meat off the sharp bones of the duck. Mapo Tofu with white rice: pretty easy staple, no complaints here. Dinner on a Saturday was packed but we got seated quickly and food arrived fast.
