    Amazing rolls. I had the mellow yellow which was a special, but others that I saw being prepared while seating at the bar looked amazing too. Service was quick and nice.

    There is lots of sushi in this part of the UWS, but this place is our favorite. Great fresh sushi, cozy atmosphere, and always friendly personal service. Do you Raku II? You should!!

    The best-kept sushi secret on the Upper West Side - amazing special rolls, any of the octopus or squid appetizers and the fish of the day. A community feel.

    Sushi is the best. We liked it better than Blue Ribbon and better prices as well?

    The food is delicious and the service excellent. Ask to remove crunch from the sushi rolls - too much filler!

    Our favorite sushi in the city. Excellent service, fresh food. Try the angry blue crab or the angry dragon. Anything angry is good

    The sushi rolls are really good but the house sake for $4 is a super deal - it's pretty good and fills around 5 sake cups! #winner

    The big Mac is a great roll to order but the fusion sushi is by far the best thing they have.
