Raku Izakaya 209 Main Street, Fort Lee, NJ 07024

"The miso black cod is absolutely the star of tonight, full of flavor and super fresh. However, everything else is pretty average. The music is a bit too loud to our ears and their lady’s room needs a new toilet seat, it’s dirtier than those ones in the nearby supermarket."

"One of the best Japanese places. Food is great, and service is always excellent. Truly recommend for everyone. We drive from NY to Fortlee every month sometimes more than once to enjoy their food and ambience. Thank you guys for doing a great job!❤️"

"I had an incredible dining experience at the Raku today! The quality of the sushi was outstanding, and the flavors were truly delightful. Raku special, rock shrimp tempura and Dragon was amazing! The ambiance was lovely, creating a relaxing atmosphere for enjoying the delicious food. What truly made the experience exceptional was the exceptional service provided by our waiter, Jon. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. Thank you for an unforgettable meal, and kudos to Jon for his amazing service!"

"Great place. It had what we were looking for in a Izakaya place. The food was fresh and seasoned well. Was too busy enjoying the food, so didn't take as many pics. We were a large group and really enjoyed the food here. We tried a whole variety of things. Tako Wasabi was not as good as I expected. I felt like it was missing something. Miso cod wasn't as flavorful, but still good. Karaage was really fresh and crispy. It hit the spot. Fried wings were crispy and well seasoned. Tuna sashimi salad was very refreshing. Nice size salad for group sharing Gyu tataki (rare beef) in ponzu was delicious. The seafood soup was amazing! We also enjoyed sausage, fried eggplant w/miso. Most of what we ordered was delicious, just a couple of misses, so a 4 star. I like the decor and ambiance. I would love to go back and highly recommend this place."
