Sushi Raku - Excellent sushi, several dishes - Sushi Bars Near Me - Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

When my husband proposed the idea of us to move from San Francisco Bay Area to Saskatoon, my first question was... "What's the sushi situation over there?"... -- which he honestly answered he's sure there are but might be fusions and not as great as Asia's or the Bay Area's. I kid you not, months before we departed on our big adventure to live in the prairies, i ate sushi 3x a week wishfully thinking it will satisfy my cravings once we get to Saskatoon. However, two foodie friends i made through Instagram recommended i check out Sushi Raku and I'm thankful i did! Sushi Raku satisfied my sushi cravings and it is ultimately probably the best i've had in Saskatoon. You might wonder why only 3 stars? -- I feel like if i gave it a 5, it'll be unfair to my sushi spots in California or New York or Asia that are definitely on another level of frickkkken sushi freshness. Sushi Raku's cuts or sashimi are insane. They definitely don't get stingy with that. Their Salmon sashimi was bomb. They also had Toro when I came for my birthday! (And cheaper in price compared to Bay Area) They also had Uni! Tuna- was eh. We got a few pieces that were frozen , which they immediately replaced. Service was impeccable and quick. This place will def be my go-to sushi spot here in Saskatoon. read more

DO NOT ORDER FROM SUSHI RAKU IF YOU ARE ALEGRIC TO FISH OR A VEGETARIAN. I recently ordered a veggie tempura roll from here and it happened to have shrimp in it. My girlfriend is a vegetarian and now knows that she's allergic to shrimp. I called to complain and inform them that there was shrimp in the vegetarian roll. Their response was that we should've informed them she is allergic to fish. They then said the use the same oil for vegetarian and non vegetarian tempura. I'm probably coming off as Karen but this is unacceptable read more

Finally, good sushi in Saskatoon! We love Japanese cuisine - particularly sushi and sashimi. We have been here twice, and overall had great experiences. The very meticulously plated Goma-ae salad (spinach with exquisite sesame and peanut butter dressing), the delicious Gyoza and the unique and delightful Raku Orange (a special take on sashimi) made for a great opening to the lunch, promising more authentic delights to come. The more mainstream Chopped Scallop Roll and the Toro and Tamagotchi Nigiri lived up to - and surpassed - our high, post-appetizer expectations. On our second visit, we had bento bowls. While they were beautiful and had an excellent variety of things to eat in them, they arrived at our table room temperature (including the shrimp tempura). We are writing this somewhat less positive experience as a new restaurant still getting its bearings as there does seem to be some confusion in the kitchen at times. Overall it is a great experience, and with more time, should become one of Saskatoon's most treasured restaurants. Goma-ae: This is a delicious typical Japanese vegetable side dish. In North America it is typically made with blanched spinach. Sushi Raku created one of the most delicious Goma-ae dressings we've ever had! It had a peanut base, with a ton of sesame seeds. The sesame against the background of the sweetness reminded us of a loved childhood treat - sesame snaps! It looks really tiny when it first arrives, but as we unraveled the spinach we realized it was just tightly wound, and there was much more than met the eye. $5 Chopped scallop roll: The roll was made in the uramaki style with rice on the outside. Scallops are very fresh tasting, finely chopped up, then mixed with tobiko and mayo. Tobikoi s flying fish roe, which are extra tiny eggs. Used in this fashion they don't really add any flavour, but they add a lovely crunchy texture as they pop. The mayo has just enough chili added to it to add a bit more dimension to flavour, but is not at all spicy. The cucumber in the roll ads a nice freshness. Topped with green onions and toasted sesame seed. $8 Toro Nigiri: This is the belly of the tuna fish, which is the fattiest and richest tasting portion. The toro at Sushi Raku is very rich, without the marbled fat, which can actually make it more approachable if you've never had it before. $3 Raku Orange @sushi_raku. This unique dish is comprised of salmon and tuna sashimi, cucumber and green onion, tossed in a spicy orange sauce, and then served in the orange. As a nice touch a couple of slices of tasty orange are served with it on the side. The spicy sauce will remind you of Korean gochujang. The cucumber adds a nice crunchy texture and freshness. It's a great combination of flavours. $10 read more

Excellent food, well prepared and presented. Remarkably fresh for seafood in SK. Price was quite reasonable as well. Staff was attentive. And supper crowd was sparse so we were the main attraction. read more

Sushi Raku - The Las Vegas Roll. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

I just popped in to Yelp to show Sushi Raku food pics to a friend and saw the last review was only a 3 star from someone who moved here from a coastal city in a different country. Im hear to tell you this is the clear cut bet and freshest sushi in Saskatoon. Anyone looking for a great sushi experience needs to view this place as a true 5 out of 5 because your comparing it to others in Saskatoon not to other restaurants in other countries. Every roll I've tried is great and the sashimi is wonderful. Every time we pick up or eat in we are blown away with the amount of food you get for price. Probably not the best sushi in word. But we'll deserving of a 5 out of 5 especially if your looking for something to satisfy your sushi cravings. read more
