I'm a huge fan. Small, clean, well run place. I always get the Raku Ramen and it's excellent. Somewhat difficult parking as in busy Montgomery Village but....

Got in around 340pm, place was basically empty. I was instantly greeted as I walked in. I looked at the menu ahead of time, so i had a good idea of what I wanted. The rice bowl, sushi rolls, and the Ramen, all phenomenal!! Once you are done, there is an area for you to leave your dishes/trash. An exceptional spot!

I was so excited to try this highly rated place because I love ramen!! However I was so disappointed and shocked at the quality of the ramen I ordered. I got the Raku Ramen, which the person at the front said was their most popular. The broth tasted watered down and bland, and same with the karaage chicken, it just had no flavor or very little flavor. I was so sad I couldn't even finish it. Maybe my experience was a fluke, maybe whoever made it was new and didn't get the recipe right or something. The place was full around 7pm so obviously they must be well liked. My food was just not good and frankly I won't come back. Also the high tables at the back were super gross because the sealant around the edges of the table was basically old and rotting and tons of old food was stuck in there. It was so gross we had to move tables. I really hope they address that because it's just disgusting.

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.

Love it! Food is so yum and I always get good and friendly vibes from the workers here. Used to get mini rice bowls for lunch when I worked nearby and it’s my favorite place to bring friends for lunch.

One of the best places to get some delicious Ramen bowels along with some fresh sushi! I've been to many Ramen places but this one feels like I've been transported to Japan. The Miso Ramen is my favorite but beware it is spicy for people who can't handle a little heat. Definitely coming back, the atmosphere, staff, and the ambience is amazing especially on a cold day its nice and warm indoors

This is my first visit to Raku Ramen and I am happy to report that the food is amazing! I had the Japanese fried chicken bowl, the chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned. It came with kimchi which was a very tasty accompaniment. My wife had the spicy pork bowl, she is very picky about her ramen and was very happy with her food, a wonderful thing since I chose where we ate tonight. I highly recommend Raku Ramen and look for to eating here again very soon.

Raku is one of the unexpected finds in Santa Rosa's Montgomery Village. Rainy day + cold weather calls for a nice brothy soup, and ramen is the absolute best choice! It's an order and pay first before getting seated type of situation. The overhead menu seemed overwhelming, but the ramen choices were very clear to see. There's a self-serve water station along with the utensils and condiments. Take out containers are also available. Didn't take long get served the food items while enjoying the street and lot view from the window bar seats. The ramen itself was superb! Even though the presentation was very plain, the flavor of the tonkotsu broth was sublime, and the pork belly chashu was phenomenal! The ramen noodles definitely had the correct bounce and texture to it that would make all the slurping an experience. Always enjoy with a kimchi on the side so it wouldn't ruin the ramen flavor. Also get that chicken karaage! They do it correctly! Not sure if required, but it might be a bus your table after eating since there's a nook with collected serveware. No need to wipe the table though! This place does proper ramen and deserves a regular visit! 🍜🍜🍜

Very nice staff, and pretty clean for a fast casual spot. The food on the other hand....pretty nauseating. $47 for a bowl of ramen, a bottled water and a "California Roll" with so much mayo and not a lot of anything else. Hard pass on ever going back...the "ramen" wasn't even hot when it was served.

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.

Nice Place to have Ramens,Sushi and rice bowl. They do serve Milk tea with boba.

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!

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.

We love the concept of sushi and ramen. Our classic dish is the Roku Ramen but today we also tried the filet mignon special, the Roku sushi and the simple yet delicious Cali roll. Service excellent and always super clean

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

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.

It was our first time here, and it was great. My husband ordered the California rolls and loved them - they were made fresh with real crab. I had the cold noodle salad, which I highly recommend. It has so many delicious ingredients and is so refreshing. We'll definitely be back.

Cali roll was ok Spicy ramen was ok (maybe a little bland for my taste) Raku ramen was ok (wife said same thing like on my spicy ramen) Staff was great tho

Ramen is relatively hard to find in this area, good Ramen especially, but i asked a friend who’s a fellow local foodie for his best suggestion and he sent me the link to this place, and frankly it’s great. Ramen is delicious, large portion, fair price, and delicious selection of different types of Ramen. Amazing, and I didn’t even need to drive to San Francisco for it. Even if this place is a little out of your way I’d definitely make the trip. I ordered my ramen to-go and it surpassed the quality i was expecting to-go. I had to put it in a mixing bowl because of the quantity of food they gave me. Summary? Great food, great price.

The food is so good one of my favs especially for ramen. The dine in experience was a little to casual for date night. Def will still keep getting my take out from here.

Raku Ramen with pork belly was amazing. Rolls are really good, too!
