Aburiya Raku - Las Vegas

Too bad. We liked the desserts here and seemed to be crowded/sold out whenever we went to Raku for dinner. From Eater.

The dedicated dessert cafe, Sweets Raku, is closing its doors after nearly ten years of serving delightfully delicate dishes of vanilla cream puffs, mango sorbet, and chestnut cream cakes. The tiny Chinatown cafe, located in the same plaza as its sushi and charcoal grill sister restaurant, Aburiya Raku, will close its doors permanently on June 30.

This place still knocks it out of the park.

Our favorite openers (house tofu & Ken2 salad) plus a sashimi plate of bluefin, shokko & ebi.



Skewers! I love that foie is available in Vegas. Waygu skirt, Iberico jowl and some veg. I do miss the chicken, but that means a trip to chicken Raku.





Grilled isaki

Fin.

Another great meal here, everything was excellent. The kanpachi was unreal in texture and flavor.

I really miss the LA outpost.

Sad to learn that the intestines are off the menu.

Everything was good. Foie gras, kanpachi, hotaru ika karaage, and the washroom (never thought I put these in the same sentence :rofl:) were the highlights









THE washroom :rofl:

So glad you enjoyed it. I love Raku…the Ken2 salad is also great. That tofu is tremendous.

The washroom is a trip.

Anyone have issues with making a reservation?

I’ve called during off hours and left a message. I’ve called during business hours and the phone keeps on ringing.

I’ve never had that happen before.

Unfortunately I lost all the picture but this place was so good. I didn’t have any expectations and thought this was a sushi restaurant until I get the menu :joy:

So good

Finally got through. Weekend advanced reservations for 6+ groups require tasting menu selection. They might change their tune if you call in a week before.
