After our trip to Japan, we were craving crispy Tonkatsu, and we discovered Raku Tonkatsu Ramen as one of the few options in the Atlanta area. Here's what you need to know...
This is a charming Japanese mom-and-pop restaurant. It stays open later than most places and is definitely superior to all the chain ramen spots in the area. Under the new ownership from the old Raku, the quality has really improved...
We visited this restaurant after a photoshoot because we wanted something nearby, and my friend was looking for some vegetarian ramen options. The decor is perfect for big anime fans like us!
The server was very friendly and accommodating, and she was quite efficient (she might have been the owner?). The atmosphere was pleasant, although nothing particularly special. There was some subtle anime art around, which added a nice touch. We unfortunately just missed a cosplay event where you could win free ramen for six months! There are so many more ramen options and other dishes to try. I will definitely be back soon! 7/5/2023
Such a charming little restaurant! I ordered the katsu don, featuring pork katsu topped with an omelette over rice, and it was absolutely delicious! The eel was also fantastic! We definitely want to return to try the ramen, but the rice dishes were just too good. Food: 5/5
