Love the miso soup here! Had the california roll and golden roll and both were super fresh and delicious ♥ I can't wait to try more rolls next time, this place is WAY better than Yuzu !!! Love it :-)
insanely good quality fish for a very reasonable price. try anything they've flown in from the famous tsukiji fish market (!) or the chef 's choice sashimi platter .
Delicious Deluxe Chirashi Sushi : Tuna | Salmon , Yellowtail , White Fish , Shrimp , Eel , Surf Clam , Salmon Roe , Squid , Octopus , Egg Omelet .
While the sushi was fresh and wonderful (golden dragon roll !), I was impressed with the kale salad on the specials. Crispy kale , almost like they flash-fried it, with toasty croutons : SO good!
I had the dragon and spider rolls and they’re delicious and didn’t disappoint. Also the homemade ginger beer was quite flavorful!
I love the California roll and just the sushi in general! Everything tastes so fresh. The prices are a bit high though...
The Chilean sea bass tempura roll is delish. Don't miss the crunchy spicy tuna roll either!
Chicken Tokyo soup is phenomenal, very tasty and satisfying! Also try the seaweed salad and double salmon roll !
Best Asian fusion inside the beltway. Tokyo dashi broth, sushi , kale salad - all excellent.
Try this..op this..no no try this..lol.;wow:EVERYThing here is sooo yummy-head down:thumb UP guys:-)Love love this place..
Place your Wasabi on top of you sushi then place it in a little soy sauce . It will have a lot more flavor. Oh yeah, its not a chicken nuggets , don't soak it in the soy sauce !
Best "summer roll " I have ever eaten, compelling atmosphere, rich choice of Asian food
The Red Dragon and Seoul Train rolls are awesome! The crispy , crunchy rolls are good too.
It's Bethesda Row Restaurant Week. The choices are excellent. Word from the mayor it's a must!!!
Excellent service and yummy sushi , what else you need ????
Try a Japanese craft beer ! Where else would you find them??
Noisy , lively , great place! Great outdoor seating on Woodmont St... start with the ginger pumpkin soup and Asian beer . Service quality varies so don't go if you are in a hurry.
Get the pan roasted chicken amazing entree and beautiful presentation
Chilean Sea Bass Roll FTW!
Very tasty and reasonably priced sushi . Great lemon drop martini as well !
The tempura dashi is large and tasty, though a tad salty.
tuna tartar + wasabi dynamite and golden dragon rolls .
The spice shrimp rolls are the best. Trust me.
A chain restaurant that doesn't taste like it, Raku has Asian food that's made for fun, with high-contrast textures and tastes. Read more
Always jammin. Sushi is good, not great. Expect a wait unless you can jump in at the bar .
Great sushi and interesting menu!
The chicken and pork dumplings are awesome. Also try the beef tenderloin bento box .
Get the spicy crunchy shrimp roll
The Bento boxes and sushi are excellen5!!
Try the Chirasi bowl. It's basically a selection of sashimi on a bowl of rice . ++recommend !
The lemon basil chicken is undercooked. You better order it well done or try something else.
The curry soup is spicy and generous
Best sushi I've ever had. Wish I was living back in DC just for Raku!
Soups are a meal into themselves.
Bento boxes for lunch are an awesome deal.
Check the specials for Asian beers like Hitachino Nest , a Japanese hefeweizen
Sushi and Tuna Tartar
Bring your awesome daughter here for a daddy-daughter night out!
Best sushi in Bethesda!

Amazing @raku
The Deluxe Bento Box was delicious and perfect for two.
Pumpkin ginger soup . And ask for a window seat , if weather permits
Spicy mayo ????
pumpkin ginger soup , any bento box , any shrimp dish ...
Awesome volcano rolls and really fast service
not good when the manager has to be asked twice to come to your table.
Do not order food to go! It looks and taste nothing like the food in my plate now...:(I had a bad experience with food to go...
Service here has really gone down hill . Sad.
Try the chicken teriyaki special. Delicious. Also, the California rolls are the BEST I've ever had. - Lucy Reedy
Lemon blossom was delicious! Perfect balance between sweet and tart- melts in your mouth! A definite must- try! - Micalla Hootstein ????
Love the new renovations! All reserved seating, large oversized leather seats, new sound system, full bar, cocktail seating area, modern restrooms. - Lisa Johnstone
