We stumbled upon Rakki when we first moved to Chino Hills in 2023, and took a break from coming when our son was in the oven. It was definitely our go to Sushi spot when we had the energy to make it out there. We loved the various choices of nigiri, sushi rolls and even the appetizers. Shortly before they closed, the owner even gave us a complimentary yellowtail collar which was absolutely delicious, amazingly flavorful and super juicy (we never ordered this previously, since we always went with the AYCE option). The AYCE was very reasonably priced for what you got, and could be considered on the very cheap end, for quality of the food you got and options available. Rakki Sushi got high praises from our foodie friends who would visit us as well. The chef and staff were always super nice, they always came to check on how we were doing when they weren't too overwhelmed with the busyness, and we loved how super friendly they were. Our son loved the staff as well, and he always gave them smiles back in response to theirs. The ambience was more of a local/casual sushi spot, rather than somewhere fancy, which my wife and I greatly enjoyed since we like dressing comfortably in just t-shirts and joggers. The tables, seats, and utensils were always clean when we went there. The men's restroom wasn't the cleanest looking, but given the location it was understandable. Plus, we were there for the food, and not really to strictly use the restroom. We greatly miss you Rakki Sushi and hope you are able to come back one day!

I read some of the reviews that this is one of the best AYCE sushi places and I've been wanting to…read moretry it. The place didn't look like much from the outside -- a little run down in an older strip mall. But you can't judge a restaurant from the facade. I wouldn't say it's the best sushi I've ever had -- it's not. But for an AYCE place -- wow, it's pretty good. My previous favorite place was tomikawa in Irvine, but this place might be better. All the sushi we had was pretty fresh. And the other stuff we had such as jalapeno poppers and gyoza were very flavorful and tasty. The baked scallop could have been a little less runny, but the flavor was very good. The pieces of sushi are all very small -- I provide a picture with my index finger for perspective. Since the place is AYCE, this isn't a diss... Just something you should know. So if you think you want 4 large pieces of sushi, you might order 6 or even 8 here. In a way, I actually liked the smaller pieces, as they're easier to pop in your mouth and chew, and you can easily order a lot of different kinds to try without worrying that you can't finish all of them. The only thing missing is udon or ramen. I like to finish off a meal with a little warm noodles, and that's a notable miss. I'm not sure it's totally worth a deliberate trip from Irvine ... But we're definitely going to stop by any time we're in the area.

What really blew us away right off the bat was the massive menu. Sometimes all-you-can-eat spots skimp on the options, but this place has an incredible variety of rolls, appetizers, and fresh cuts to choose from, making it hard to decide where to start. The food itself absolutely lived up to the hype. Doing all-you-can-eat sushi can sometimes be a gamble, but the quality and freshness here are top tier. Every roll we ordered was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic, with perfect fish-to-rice ratios. We tried so many different things from their huge selection, and not a single dish disappointed us. It is clear they care about the ingredients they are serving. The absolute highlight of our night, though, was the phenomenal service we received from our waiter, Cole. He was absolutely amazing, super attentive, and incredibly friendly from start to finish. Good service can really make or break an all-you-can-eat experience, and Cole went above and beyond to make sure our orders came out fast and our table was taken care of. We are already planning our next trip back and will definitely be asking to sit in his section!

We were sitting at the bar yesterday evening and a rude customer had treated the female staff poorly and caused a scene, the general manager handled the aggressive customer with grace and respect. We come here often and we hate to see the staff be treated that way.. the restaurant was clearly very busy (as they can be during the summer rush) and the staff was doing their best and apologetic towards the guests until the husband got agitated and aggressive. The GM had kindly attempted to deescalate the situation but was met with disrespect.

This review is long overdue…read more I've been coming here on and off for the past two years since moving to the area, and every time I give the sushi another chance, it disappoints. This last visit (April 18) was the worst yet. The drinks are actually great, the bartenders know what they're doing. That's the only redeeming part of this place. Now the sushi... completely different story. It took an hour to get a lobster roll, and what showed up had little to no lobster. It was mostly shrimp, not even a mix, and to make it worse, there was visible shrimp vein (yes, the poop tract) still in it. Completely unacceptable, especially for something being sold as a lobster roll. (See photo.) It also took another hour to get just three types of sushi, and the yellowtail was cut poorly, chewy and full of muscle, not clean or fresh. At this point, this isn't a one-off experience, it's a pattern. I've given this place multiple chances, and the food quality and timing consistently miss the mark. If you want good sushi, skip this place. If you want solid cocktails, sit at the bar and leave it at that.

I used to love eating here, and especially when Bruce or an experienced Sushi chef were making the food, it was always a great food experience. However, there were times when I would show up and they had an inexperienced person filling in for a Sushi chef. These people have no business touching raw fish. They're not properly trained and have filthy habits. On two occasions after eating there I had to rush home to use the bathroom. Last year, the same thing happened where no Sushi chef was present and this young guy was filling in. He was handling trash and writing something down with a pen, then proceeded to grab raw salmon and a sushi knife. At that point, I just stood up and said "aren't you going to wash your hands?" He apologized but I was thoroughly disgusted and told the owner that I can't eat here anymore.

It is a fairly small dining room. Six booths of four max, six tables of four, and one table for six. No outdoor dining. While I was dining, there were lots of take out orders. I ordered the Golden tiger roll and teriyaki chicken plate with peach soju. I do not eat sushi but decided to get something only a little adventurous. The shrimp tempura, cream cheese and avocado with crab meat was divine. The presentation of the roll was beautiful. I didn't have to worry about the sauces as they were placed upon the top. Thankfully I was able to eat each piece in one bite. The roll was cut into nine pieces. So much more than I thought I would receive. Since I am not used to eating this type of food, I wasn't sure I could safely consume it the following day so I made sure to eat it all. I really enjoyed it. The teriyaki chicken was served on a hot skillet. So flavorful. I took the majority of the chicken and rice for lunch the next day. I came back a few weeks later and it was much calmer. The service was great both times. I would recommend it.
