Raku is a must-visit udon restaurant in New York City that offers an authentic taste of Japan. The restaurant specializes in gourmet noodle soups and other traditional dishes that are sure to satisfy your cravings. One of the standout dishes at Raku is the Hamaguri Udon, which features ocean-fresh clams sourced from New Jersey or PEI, depending on the location. The clams are served in a fragrant Tokyo negi and dashi soup alongside wakame seaweed, white pepper, and finished with a touch of butter. Another popular dish is the Ja Ja Udon, a cold udon with spicy miso pork, cucumbers, tomatoes, and a poached egg that's perfect for spring days. If you're looking for something new to try, the Zaru Udon is a favorite cold udon that now comes with shiso leaf tempura and customizable dipping sauce with shiitake mushrooms, scallion, quail egg, and wasabi. And if you're craving sushi rice bowl, Raku's Maguro Don is packed with bluefin tuna, sesame seeds, quail egg, scallions, and daikon sprouts - available only at their Soho location. With its commitment to quality ingredients and exceptional service, it's no wonder why Raku has been ranked #43 on 's 100 Best Restaurants in New York City list.
