Raku Ramen & Rolls, Santa Rosa CA

Have loved this place in the past but today had a super frustrating experience. The pork belly in the ramen was tough and mostly fat, the gyoza was terrible (wonderful in the past) and the manager was super rude when we asked about redeeming our punch card. Yes, it had been awhile but the rudeness was uncalled for.

Nice, cute, cozy place to have lunch. The dynamite sushi was the best; the rainbow and dragon rolls were delicious as well. The staff were friendly. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars is that the Thai tea tasted burnt for some reason. I don't know if the Boba was burnt; it was also plain. Other than that, I would come back for more sushi.

Pretty average place to get ramen. The chashu was flavorless, the noodles weren’t too bad. The broth saved the dish. For the price it’s not bad.

I just got my ramen to go 5 mins ago. It's DISGUSTING. Sooo greasy. The pork is nothing but fat. It's all grease. What a waste of money. I threw it away. It was inedible.

My fiance had a wonderful meal here. I had the lunch combo which included miso soup, salad, rice and I chose chicken katsu as the main entree. All of the things I had were absolutely delicious! Will definitely stop again when in the area again!

Quality food and kind staff, they give recommendations for first timers and they're always quick. The food is chefs kiss and the atmosphere is beautiful, would recommend if you wanted to treat someone for reasonable prices

The ramen here is out of this world. The broth is beyond amazing and I get the pork belly every time because it is so juicy and delicious. From the ramen egg to the fresh toppings it’s super delicious. They also have gluten free noodles, Ramune and other imported drinks, and beer & wine. Dine or take out, both are good options! Try this small Montgomery village gem.

Only 2 Vegan options. One was Roll with Avocado and Cucumber. I did not try that. Wish I had. I got the Tofu and Vegetable Raman with God knows what type of broth. Not much tofu and only a few pieces of Broccoli. Absolutely tasteless. The little taste it had was not good. Threw it out! Such a waste of $17.
Don't wish to be all negative but the only positives were the two young staff at the register. They were very nice and very helpful!
Seating uncomfortable but get they are shooting for the ambiance!
Sadly, will not be returning or recommending to coworkers or friends.

This is a lovely place to eat! You order at the counter, they give you a number, then you find a place to sit and they bring your food out to you when it’s ready! I’ve only had the ramen, but from what I’ve seen the sushi looks fantastic! The ramen is filling and flavorful, and the Japanese drink selection (nonalcoholic) is fun to look at and enjoy. I’ve only gone near the end of the day, when there’s only a small amount of people, so I unfortunately can’t say anything about how busy it gets during the day. But I highly recommend Raku for a nice easy dinner!

Very good food and a calm atmosphere. Ordering is simple but feels more fast food than nice restaurant.

Excited to try this place.extremely disappointed.roll was just ok and ramen wasn’t very good.wish i had read the reviews because seating is terribly uncomfortable and the table was disgusting! Weird lip on the table that makes it very uncomfortable and there’s tons of disgusting old food stuck in the space around the edge of the table.won’t be going back.it was super gross.

The Raku Ramen dish with Chicken Karaage was good, except the broth could've used a bit more seasoning. The Hawaiian roll was good too. Not bad overall.

I don’t usually write reviews but this was honestly one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. The food quality is very poor considering the price ($80 for two) and both my boyfriend and I feel sick after eating the ramen. And we barely ate any of it, it was that bad. Very greasy. The sushi rolls and gyoza were nothing special. Wish I read the bad reviews before going because I wouldn’t have gone in the first place if I did.
