Great atmosphere. Incredible food. One of my favourite restaurants to visit. I'd definitely reccomend the plum wine 🍷

Dined here multiple times over the last year and have always had a good meal in a lovely environment. Easily the best place in Kenilworth if not Warwickshire.

What a surprise. Came in passing for dinner and we chose their £38pp menu. Not cheap. But gosh that was good. There was A LOT of food and of every sort. I am a bit eater and we had to take some home cause we couldn’t finish. Everything was fantastic, we loved it. And the staff was also very nice. We’ll be back!

We shared a delicious salmon and crab sushi roll for a starter and opted for a ramen each for main - both the regular and spicy tonkotsu ramens were fantastic. The teryaki beef skewer on the side was very tasty as well - all good value and fast service with a nice ambiance on a Friday evening. Look forward to returning!

We made a reservation for Saturday night and were delighted to find the restaurant bustling with many families, creating a fantastic ambiance. We had a wonderful time with delicious and generous portions of food,along with attentive service. We eagerly anticipate returning in the near future.

Superb! We ordered takeaway - but immediately regretted it once we saw the interior… so sweet! Lovely lights and lanterns, a really kind welcome and the food was ready bang on time. Perfect Korean fried chicken, great gyoza and tempura, skewers also so so delicious. Thank you for a delicious meal

The food we ordered was really amazing. We tried almost every popular item that was shown in the menu. Sushis are not everyone's cup of tea, but the gyoza, tempuras and skewers are really good. The pork bun was a variety item for us. The oyako don and pork don was great in main course.

A really nice spot to visit with friends and it is really worth to give a try to Japanese dishes. Went there to try the famous dish Ramen and there was different types of it we really liked it.

We went to Raku57 to celebrate our daughters birthday. We got a warm welcome with the ambience and Japanese food which was amazing. The service was really good. Will recommend others for a special dining with family and friends.

This spot is great for a casual out, the ambience and table service is so nice. We ordered Japanese beer and some starters only. The pork skewer and prawn tempuras were really good. The interior of the restaurant is well maintained. Will come again for main course dinner.

Excellent food. Something out of the ordinary for Kenilworth. Extensive menu to choose from. Tried the sushi, tempura and tuna taco, which was all excellent. Would recommend to anyone.

We had a family meal consisting almost entirely of starters - there was so much to choose from. It was all delicious and complimented by Japanese beer, wine and whisky. The owner was helpful in guiding us through the menu and quantities. Will return, to try some of the main courses. A good evening.

Not the best Japanese food I have had. Katsu curry was over cooked. Bread crumbs were burnt. Bowl of rice so…. Small for £4.00. Rice is a Japanese staple and even in Japan comes in abundance. The pricing of the food is seriously over priced. This is marketed as Japanese street food for fine dinning prices. If you want value and a decent meal avoid this place.

Lovely mains and starters. Staff not completely able to explain options but this made it more fun. I had spicy Korean pork and the miso aubergine. Both very tasty - especially the aubergine. Sake was smooth and would highly recommend. Also very family friendly.

Really enjoyed our first visit here last night, the starters were sublime, the main course were really tasty and would certainly return. One slight negative point, going as a couple we were sat next to a loud table of 4 even though there were were free tables elsewhere so had to ask to move Highly recommend 👍
