Reviews for Raku in Edina, MN
I used to love this place, but over the years it has gone down significantly in service and food quality. The last 4 times I... have gone I thought “I will give them one more chance”, but tonight was the last time. The line chefs preparing the sushirolls was coughing sneezing and hacking up mucous or something, WHILE PREPARING THE FOOD. Super gross to listen to. Also, theone reason I came was for a vegetarian soup, and when it finally came, it tasted different (I have been ordering this soup for10 years). I had to find the waiter to ask him if the ingredients have changed and if they used a non vegetarian broth. He saidit’s always had meat in it, which didn’t seem true to me, but was really disappointing on so many levels. I could rant onand on about it but… TLDR: never coming back Read more
First time trying this location. Delivery was fast and efficient. Lunch portion was perfectly sized.
The restaurant is nice and quiet... very quiet. The food is good and the service is great. We ordered multiple sushi and other... little yummy things. All was great. The 3 stars are because of the prices. Yes, it's the heart of Edina so it's probably alwaysgoing to be a little more expensive than most other places around here. But there are limits to the prices increase. We willnever go back to that place eventhough we enjoyed it but for the same price I'd rather have more to eat or a better food to eat. Read more
Not bad not great, just average. Restaurant was completely empty on a Monday evening.
This is a nice low key sushi place. The atmosphere is usually quiet, even on the weekends. The sushi rolls are well made and... taste great. The avocado salad is one of the main reasons why we like to come here. The service from staff ranges from okay togood, while prices are a little high. Overall I really enjoy coming here. It's a little hidden gem that many don't know about. Read more
Our friend is moving away so we decided to meet here for a farewell dinner. There is one thing I really appreciate about this... place - their menu. They had photos of the sushi maki rolls with descriptions, so you can see what you're ordering. We ordered 6different rolls (and 3 appetizers) and were pleased with every single one of them. Although we were greeted a little slower thanwe'd like, the kitchen was fast, food was good, and service was too. Read more
Excellent dinner, service and sake! Started with the Amazing Tuna Dumplings which really were amazing. Tried a couple great... sakes and had the special rolls: Snow Thrill, Sun Kiss (pictured) and Megu Shashimi. Everything was wonderful and timedperfectly. Service was attentive. Read more
We've gotten takeout here lots of times and the rolls were always good. We've dined in twice and this afternoon we were... literally the only customers there and service was extremely slow and lacking. They forgot food items and there was a dead bugin the water poured from a pitcher. Read more
