Food was very good and the price is typical. Would come back again. Did go for lunch so it was not very busy.

We stopped for an early sushi dinner on a Saturday night. I was a bit nervous when we walked because the floors were a little sticky (hopefully just the cleaning solution that day wasn't right), but we ended up having a great, easy dinner. We were seated immediately and the service was quick the rest of the night. We got miso soup and 4 different sushi rolls to try, all of which were fresh and well done. The 30% off discount was an extra perk too! We will definitely return if we're in the area; it was some of the best (and most worth it for the price) sushi we've had in RI!

This past Saturday I got takeout from Raku Sakura. I've gotten food from here numerous times and each and every time it's consistently delicious! In the past I've gotten Chicken Udon, a Hibachi plate, Chicken Hibachi fried rice or Sushi too. I've also only eaten in the restaurant a handful of times but I remember it being really nice in there, with cool vibes and a fun environment. The prices aren't expensive at all either. They have a section on their menu for Sushi that is consistently 30% or more. It's a great deal! The portions are very healthy sizes and again, the food is excellent. I feel like Raku Sakura is under appreciated. Is sort of a modern Japanese, Chinese fusion so-to-speak. Each an every time I've done takeout, the food is ready with 30 mins. Even at the busy times. So I'd say the service there is very quick and efficient! This past Saturday we did a takeout order of 4 dishes, called around 7, and the food was ready within 25 mins. Incredible! So what did I get this past Saturday? I got the Chicken Hibachi fried rice with a side of Hibachi sauce. Which, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Hibachi sauce!! First of all, it tastes incredible, and also it's a really nice touch to the Hibachi fried rice. Honestly, the sauce is good with almost anything from there! I've gotten the sauce with my Chicken Udon and it's also really tasty! It's a white/orange, semi-thick cream based sauce. The Hibachi fried rice also comes with a little side salad which I'm always super psyched for because I loveeeee the dressing! I'm, again, not sure what it is, but all I know is it tastes incredible! One thing tho is you don't get fortune cookies when you do takeout. I'm not sure if you get them if you eat in either as again, I've only eaten in the restaurant a handful of times. All in all, if you like modernized Japanese, Chinese food, I highly highly recommend you give Raku Sakura a shot! It's not too expensive and the portion sizes are very generous! It's on Main Street too, which is a fun place to walk around at night.

Our party of 2 walked in around 8pm on a Saturday night and were seated immediately in a both by the festively-decorated bar. The restaurant was still fairly lively at that point of the night but it started to quiet the longer we were there. Our waitress was very attentive and prompt as well. We started our meal with a bowl of hot and sour soup, which was very comforting. We ordered a shrimp hibachi meal, which came with fried rice, stir-fried vegetables and a creamy zesty sauce. Even though it wasn't cooked in front of us it retained that familiar hibachi taste and freshness, though the fried rice was a bit bland. We also ordered a variety of maki and rolls, which are always 30% off for some reason but I don't mind at all! The sushi was great value, I would recommend coming here to fulfill your sushi cravings.

Raku Sakura is so underrated. They're my fave sushi place in the state at the moment, & I'll explain why. Quality: Consistent, always. Whether dine-in or takeout. Price: So doable. Dinner doesn't break the bank. I haven't found another place that's this good @ this price point. Staff: So charming. They work hard & are so appreciative when you tip. So, tip! Location: Tough parking sometimes but other than that, it's ideal. If you want an outing in EG, they're smack in the middle of the action. But also, it's great if you're just swinging by for takeout because it's mid-state. Vibes: Sorta luxury lounge vibes inside. Dress up or stay casual & you'll still fit in. Choose your own adventure. Recommended special rolls: Mango Tango, Valentine's, & Fantastic.
