What to order: Niku Udon · Chicken Tatsuta‑age · Tantan Udon · Zaru UdonFrom Google Maps reviews.
Fantastic lunch!!! The Tantan Ramen was so flavorful and delicious spicy. The Yuzu Mimosa was refreshing, and the Sapporo draft beer was the perfect finish. Sat at the bar and received excellent service from P. and BJ. both were friendly and attentive. The restaurant filled up within minutes of opening. Looking forward to coming back and trying the Bluefin Tuna Uni Don. 🍜🍺✨
Some of the best udon in NYC! While the wait can definitely be long during peak hours(1hr 30min on a Sunday evening), Raku SoHo is a cozy spot that delivers authentic noodles and thoughtful dishes once you’re seated. For an appetizer you must try the chicken tatsuta-age which is wonderfully fried and seasoned. We loved the dipping sauce which perfectly compliments the chicken. We tried two hot udons, the tantan and the nabeyaki. The tantan offered a rich and flavorful broth while not being too
An excellent place for some delicious food on a cold day. The ankake and seasonal mushroom udon were both deliciously flavorful and perfectly filling! Do expect to wait a bit during peak hours and they are very prompt in letting you know when your table is ready. The wait staff are very friendly and provide quick service.
