Traditional Udon Restaurant in the Heart of the East Village
Once inside RAKU, your sense of location is suspended… you are temporarily transported to a ’sweet-spot’ somewhere in-between Raku and Japan. At RAKU, you have the rare dining experience when all aspects are in harmony. The food is equal to the best udon shops of Japan, the service is attentive and friendly, and the design is coordinated and thoughtful from the fixtures to the table settings. Raku East Village concept was black and white contradictory expressions.
