Exceptional Udon Experience
Simply amazing! The noodles are top-tier, and the tempura was crispy and fresh. One of my best udon experiences so far. I would definitely go back for the cold udon (zaru) again.

Raku is the Taylor Swift of Udon. The Andre Agassi of hangover food. The Denzel Washington of rainy-day meals. We came on a day were it was a torrential downpour, one of those days where you can't get a noodle soup-like dish off of the mind. My thought process was that since it was raining so violently, that there would be no wait. I was half right, as the wait was only 5 minutes at 1pm on a Saturday. We sat in the beautiful outdoor space that is fully covered, and I swear to the good lord Jesus Christ it is made for the rain. There's no better place to watch the rain attack through glass panes while feeling fully safe and covered, knowing a bowl of noodles is on the way. A spiritual phenomenon really. We ordered the fried chicken, pork dumplings, deep fried eggplant, and the niku(beef short rib) udon with chili oil. I was expecting nothing from the fried eggplant (wasn't my choice), but it really blew me away. Breakout player of the year performance from the fried eggplant. The MVP was obviously the niku udon, as it quite literally cured my hangover (along with a joint and a nap). The broth was perfect. The noodles were electric. The short rib was eclectic. Tried to find something to rhyme with "electric" there but it didn't really work, but the short rib was sensational. I can't emphasize enough how ELITE this ambiance was for a rainy day. I swear only the Japanese could pull this off. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

This restaurant is delicious. I thought I used to eat good udon, but this is so much better. The kitsune was full of flavor, the broths were so rich and the meat was cooked to perfection. The noodles were chewy and spicy just right. This will be my favorite place.

Note - this place is cash only. A lot of friends highly recommended this spot, and it was indeed a tasty choice. Came here for dinner with a friend on Saturday evening and put ourselves on the waitlist about 40 minutes in advance. There’s indoor and covered outdoor seating available. We shared a chicken Karaage (you have the choice of 6 or 10 pieces) and I opted for the Chikara udon, which came with chicken, 2 big pieces of mochi, and udon in soup. The bowl was quite filling, even though it didn’t look like much when it first came to the table.

Top notch udon! I got the zaru, and it was absolutely perfect. Beautiful light but flavorful dipping sauce, perfectly chewy udon. Simplicity at its finest. The restaurant is very Japanese, and the service was great. Don't miss this!

Walked over on a Tuesday afternoon after seeing my local haunt, Udon West, was closed (hopefully not for good!). Raku proved to be a pleasantly surprising alternative at the next price point up, and we were happy with the service, experience, and quality of food.
Upon arrival, the server/hostess seated us with a contact tracing form to fill out. I don't particularly remember if they checked temperatures - I've been eating out a lot and all my weird 2020 memories are blending together. There are bottles of hand sanitizer at each table and the butane heaters keep the outdoor structure mildly warmed.
Ordered the yaki nasu (eggplant) to share as a starter. Beef udon for me and tantan udon with a side of shiitake mushrooms for the guy. The eggplant was lowkey fire - the sweet/savory softness of the eggplant with the spiced miso pork on top mixed with a silky quail egg yolk: divine. The udon was fantastic - the noodles looked knife-cut rather than extruded (like the frozen packs at the supermarket). Broth was mild but beefy - I added a shichimi pack to taste. The tantan was deep with sesame flavor and moderately spiced. Completely different flavor profiles for each udon, but both very well done.
Will definitely be going back for another chill lunch!
Udon behind the noren
It's hard to tell this place is a restaurant from the outside. You'll just see the typical Japanese noren, a piece of fabric that is used as a door. You can put your name down on Yelp and they'll message you when your table is ready. The food was hearty and abundant. The udon soup was really good, and so was the katzu pork rice. Don't plan to spend too much time at the table, as you'll get the check minutes after finishing your meal. Cash only.

This cozy, authentic little space delivered the best udon I’ve had in NYC, fat and away. Excellent service, wonderful menu, and reasonable pricing. I will return often.

Have been waiting to try this restaurant for a long time since I first heard all the great reviews. Even with all the hype, everything was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. We had an assortment of appetizers and they all exceeded our expectations. Their dishes are very authentic and reminiscent of my recent trip to Japan. The udon noodles though were DEFINITELY the highlight. We had the Niku and the Gyunan and they were both super tasty. The noodles they use are unique and just the right amount of chewiness. Their broth is complex and savoury. Can't wait to come back again.

This place is a literal hole in the wall. There is not much seating and it’s very warm inside but the portion is large and these may be the best noodles I’ve ever had. The broth was good but it wasn’t The highlight of the dish, the noodles were so fresh they definitely stood out to me.
We also got the fried chicken since everyone raves about it. It was good, and I would order again, but I’m from the south so It wasn’t anything too special to me.
Authentic and really tasty
I heard about Raku from an East Village bartender and decided to check it out the next day. I had a bit of a hard time finding it as there is no sign out front, only a curtain covering the opening to the street. Once inside, I was greeted to a small and cozy dining area. The server was friendly and I found the menu full of more good options than I knew what to do with. While Raku is famous for their udon, I decided to order the Katusu Don (deep fried pork cutlet & egg rice bowl). I grew up eating katsu in Hawaii, but never had anything this flavorful. The complexity of flavors in this dish was what really amazed me. The katsu was well seasoned and tender, and the rice really well cooked, but there was another ingredient I couldn't figure out that took it over the top. It might have been a seafood ingredient as there were hints of the sea that found me while I ate this dish. My only regret is that I was only able to eat there once.

Totally HEARTBROKEN!!! I read such great reviews on this place and it was AWFUL service.
Our reservation was 5:30 and we were kept waiting about 10 minutes or so. The booth was not ready for me to sit and I didn't like that the bathrooms were down a steep flight of steps. Anyone who is handicapped must avoid it.
Next we ordered the meal. We were told the steak-dish was already sold out and do keep in mind it was only 6:20. We had Chicken tatsuta-age, 6 fried chicken in a dish that came with a piece of lemon slice and very hot mayo. When I asked for more lemon... I actually got another small slice. For $8 give me LEMON!
Next we got the big bowls of udon with a huge wooden spoon. The 3 bowls were NOT brought to the table at one time. The soup was good a bit to salty for my taste buds. The noodle texture was fresh and soft.
Nameko Udon, Chicken Udon with lots of dark meat which I am not fond of, and Udon with fried shrimp that was served on a plate so it didn't get soggy. I am also accustomed to taking my udon from the larger bowl into smaller bowls to make it easier to consume and I had to ask for BOWLS. The waiter returned with 1 bowl. Well, guess what He had to walk back with 2 more.
Is it to hard for this waiter to be a tad more into his customers. He didn't introduce himself, we started with a waitress who never returned and it was like asking anyone who passed by for Service.
My son totally told the waiter it was my birthday and to serve the desert with a candle. Well, they handed us the bill without even asking if we wanted anything else. My son-- gave the waiter a stare-- which I didn't understand and asked for the desert list. Well $10 later getting this cake with whisky ice cream, there was no Candle and he was very very disappointed.
Food was fine. But for $70 worth of food I didn't like the service. Silent and rude!!!
