What Jen L doesn't like about Raku Soho:
Our experience at this restaurant was disappointing. We placed an order through Doordash and were excited to try the Mapo Tofu Udon, but unfortunately, it did not arrive. Instead, we received one order of Wagyu Beef Udon without any communication. While the dish was okay, it was not what we had been looking forward to and we had to share it between the two of us. Despite the Mapo Tofu Udon being crossed off our recei... View all feedback. What Miss Food Lover likes about Raku Soho:
This place is THE place for udon in the city. A pretty nice place to dine alone, it’s relatively easy to get a table if you are by yourself. The niku udon and a poached egg is my absolute favorite. I’ve been here multiple times and it still amazes how good it is every time I’m here! The noodles are chewy but soft, the broth is the perfect taste, and the meats in the soup are great. I recommend the niku. Their soba pu... View all feedback.

I had the gyunan and the meat was super good. The app chicken was very nice, crunchy, and juicy.

Beyond this world! Tokyo experience in NYC! Worth to wait for 1,5 hours. Highly recommend.

Raku is the ultimate spot for udon lovers in the city. Despite some disappointments with missing orders and lackluster customer service, the Organic Iced Green Tea was a hit. The Niku Udon shines as a favorite for its flavor and perfect noodles. Customers enjoyed a satisfying meal with dishes like the chikara udon and cold udon with quail egg and pork. The beef niku udon was a standout dish, perfect for a cozy winter day. Although popular, the wait for a seat is worth it thanks to the flavorful broth, tender meats, and delicious fried chicken.
