Great little spot for some udon. As someone who doesn't usually like udon, this is the only place I'll have it. Soup is the best part. A good selection of different soup and dry noodle options. Also have a cocktail menu for those interested. Staff are super friendly and the interior is super cute. Do note that this place is constantly busy so I highly recommend trying to grab a reservation both times I came here there was a 45 min wait list.
A great downtown Toronto spot for a simple but delicious meal. Be warned there will almost always be a wait here - and a long one at that. We waited an hour and a half on a Friday night for a table of 6 - not sure if that decreases based on party size. Once we were seated, everything went smoothly. The service was great and the ambiance was bright and great for a chat with friends.nnEverything on the menu looks amazing so I'd recommend taking a look before hand and narrowing it down - even during my hour and a half wait I didn't fully decide on what I wanted. We ended up ordering a few appetizers to share, of which the Monkfish Liver / ankimo $9 was a star item - this is so much cheaper than other places as well! For my main, I ordered the chikara udon $21. It was good, but not as good as the crab udon I ordered last time. I wasn't the biggest fan of the mochi, as the texture threw me off. The soup was delicious and the noodles were the perfect texture so I still enjoyed.nnOverall, great dining experience. Definitely will be back to try some of the cold udons!
Never thought I could have such tasty Udon in Toronto. I was surprised!!! The texture of the udon was perfectly chewy and soft. The soup was so flavorful that I wanted to drink it all. Although the Fried Chicken was a bit over fried and the batter of the Tempura was too thick. But I will definitely come back for the Udon:
I’ve traveled to Japan multiple times and am a huge udon fan—so much so that I used to hunt down all the local udon spots. Since moving to Canada, I hadn’t been able to find udon that really hit the mark same goes for ramen and other Japanese dishes—the clean, authentic flavors, and perfectly chewy, not too soft or tough noodles were missing. But this place, Raku, finally delivered! The space is a bit small and cramped, so I ordered the cold udon, and wow—it was the perfect combination of flavors and textures! I won’t be able to come often, but whenever I get the chance, I want to try everything on the menu. The server was really kind, and I loved the simple décor too!
Delicious udon. Udon noodles were chewy, broth was flavorful while soothing. Great spot for comfort food. Food is fairly priced for what it is.nnI’d recommend coming at opening as a line up builds up fast. Nice decor but seating is slightly cramped.nnWill be back to try more of their menu items.
