A: I ate here the other day as a last minute "I'm early for my appointment and am super hungry" thing. Glad I stopped by. The seating? Meh. It's a bit crowded, and I sat at the community table. The purse hooks are nice, but sitting on a stool for an hour long meal was not good for my back, and my shoulders cried out in pain. The menu is good; however, online they tell you if the soups are vegetarian/vegan. They don't mention it on the in-store menu. Good thing I'd looked it up, and that my server (Meschelle) knew her stuff. I was in a bit of a hurry and not ready for a whole sandwich, so I got the gazpacho and an order of sweet potato fries. Which come with ketchup and a house aoili, but the server let me know it had mayo in it, which means eggs. So instead, she brought me ketchup and a nice mustard (they have 4 kinds) for dipping. I appreciated that a lot, and also her asking me about whether I wanted the goat cheese that came on my soup or not. The fries? Delicious. Some of the best sweet potato fries I've ever been blessed to try. I may come back just for those. But then, I had my soup? Oh! It wasn't anything like what I'd imagined (it was way more chunky, and more like a tomato salsa than a traditional gazpacho), but it came with goat cheese and avocado on top, and it was to DIE for. So freaking good. The service was excellent; my drink was always filled, food came out on time, and the check came out when I wanted it too, rather than too early or having to ask. The food as delicious. My only beef was having to sit on a stool and lean over a hot (because it was lit) table. I'll be back with my partner for sure to try the burgers (her) and sandwiches (me)!
Q: positive

A: I read a lot of reviews and knew this was a place to visit. We first tried to visit it last Saturday right when they opened at 6pm. "No reservation?? Sorry -- no openings until after midnight!" Wow. I guess that makes sense since there are only about 10 tables in the entire joint. I felt like a rejected girlfriend. I needed to get in now. But with two kids -- what are the chances that my babysitter and an opening at Raku align!??! Low and behold -- it was tonight. We made a reservation for 8:30pm after a networking event. They were booked up but gave us the counter over the phone. We arrived 30 minutes early hoping we could work our way in. They sent us to the "bar" first. The bar is just that -- a walnut, natural wood bar. But there was no bartender or booze there. You just wait until it's time while propping your elbow up on the walnut. Luckily, we didn't wait long (otherwise, the non-bar "bar" would have made me mad!). Plus, we were seated at a REAL table (not the counter). Usually, I would prefer the counter (a la sushi bar) but this one was just a counter without action to watch. I think the only main advantage to the counter is to socialize with other diners (which I might add all seem to be really cool, smart people -- a rare find for so many in one location in Vegas!). We didn't know what to order but took a few recommendations from other YELP reviews. I can't remember the intricate names of each -- but here's my layman's descriptions of our highlights: -hot asparagus with crunchy coating (my favorite thing EVER. Economical and AWESOME). -Blue Fin sashimi ( a pricey special at $25 - but some of the best sashimi I've ever had) -Agedashi Tofu (it really is an amazing, almost dessert-like treat in a savory broth) -Yellowtail skewers. I usually think it is a shame to cook yellowtail - but I didn't feel that way this time around. -Butter scallop - it was okay, but not as special as the other items. -Green tea creme brulee. THE BOMB. A great finish to the evening. I thought all of these reviews were hype - I'm happy to say I was wrong. Every moment I spent dining at Raku has made me a better person. I will talk about this experience nonstop to my peers. If you like Japanese food, you NEED to go here to make yourself a better person.
Problem: What would be an example of an negative (OPTIONS:
- negative
- positive) review?

Answer: I have been in the food industry for 26 plus years, as an chef from Ireland, I have both been to France and cooked in France. This is by far some of the worst prepared french dishes I have EVER had. The brioche and I only call it that as that is what it was called on the menu looked and tasted nothing like brioche. The basket of warm sliced baguette, which is lunch bread in France, was a strange item to receive for breakfast. The one positive for me was the busboy kept the coffee cups and water glasses full. Over all this was a restaurant experience I won't be able to get back.

Output: Second time here. Was here for the first time before I moved here a week ago and ordered takeout. Was pretty good at that time and decided to come back after moving to AZ and living closeby. Place is clean and large. Pho was good, Broth was rich, somewhat slim on the meat-side but pretty-much on-par with most pho places I've been to all around the country and Canada. Overall for pho, a place I'd go back to, meets all expectations but doesn't exceed them anywhere, which is fine by me. I'm just happy this place is close to my home and I can go whenever I want, and its good food.

output: I love sushi, and this place is not for the connoisseur. I will admit the location out on the patio to view the fountain show can't be beat. The Essence (cucumber martini) is superb even at 20.00. The side order of mushrooms is also very good as well and the tuna pizza. Other than that don't waste your money unless it's all comped.

I absolutely agree with the positive reviews, including the two 'not recommended' reviews that were positive, but forgot to put the stars. Charlie will never recommend that you need a service until you absolutely need it. If he can save you money, he will. These guys are extremely honest and trustworthy. I highly recommend them! In the past 10 years I can't even tell you how many times they have saved me.
