The Teen & I opted for Japanese and after seeing Tuck on the Grams' rave reviews, in addition to the Yelp reviews, we headed from the Hill that is Pleasant over to Concord. The food was made to order, hot and delicious. Me: an order of gyozas, spicy garlic, edamame, and the mixed tempura. She: steak teriyaki bento box, with gyozas as her side. We: miso soup, and the salad for starters. Service was good, as we were greeted upon our arrival, seated immediately and Jessie checked on us just enough. Those spicy garlic edamame are definitely for those who like spice, and that steak teriyaki was tender it almost melted in my mouth. The miso soup and salad were just the perfect serving size that I wasn't stuffed before my meal came. Ambience was chill because it wasn't 5 o'clock yet, so I'm almost positive we made it there before the dinner rush. Giving this place a four yumms up and a definite I'll be back !! read more

Slightly cozy place with all the usual menu items plus greater ramen and udon selection than most. Food is generous and well portioned. The roll was bigger than I expected. As for the ramen, this was my first time ordering. If you're a mega sesame lover this bowl of ramen is for you! I love sesame as well, slightly a little too much for me. I would order this again and tell them half the sesame please Service is prompt and genuinely kind. read more

Sushi Raku - Sesame ramen with chili oil. Concord roll in the background - Japanese Near Me - Concord, California

The service was above and beyond. The dishes were spectacular, quite delectable and space was quite adorable. There was a parking lot, but the location was on the smaller side. Anyways, shout out to my server, she was the absolute sweetest sweetheart. Thank again for the drink recommendations! And now the drinks and food. The prices were reasonable and the quality was impeccable! We got the Shirley temples. I loved the blue raspberry Shirley temple, so sweet, tangy and refreshing. Definitely what I needed on that hot day. I got the sakedon. Now I've had many a sakedon and I can tell you this one's got a great bang for your buck. For the price you get an exceptional amount of salmon and the salmon was quite buttery. Melt in your mouth. That and the escolar along side the hamachi. Worth the visit. I cannot wait to come back. read more

Aww, such sweet service! I'm pretty sure that the woman that served me may have been one of the owners and she was so attentive and kind that she made me really enjoy my visit. I settled into a booth in the corner and ate my usual sushi setup: miso soup and a side salad with an avocado cucumber roll. It was very good and the staff were welcoming the entire time, checking in on me to make sure I was enjoying my stay. I loved the decorations in the restaurant, too. Faux foliage, wood everywhere, it was gorgeous. It reminded me of some sort of secret garden and I loved the feel of it. It's a little dim-lit because of the surroundings, but I didn't mind at all and had a great time. Between the food, the staff, and the vibe of the space itself, Sushi Raku is definitely worth a visit. read more

We decided to try this place on a whim. And we were pleasantly surprised! Service was ok, not enough wait staff and they took their time getting the bill and to go containers. The food was surprisingly very good. Fresh ingredients, very fresh fish, vegetables, and meat. The dinner comes with miso soup and a small green salad. The food was prepared fast and we didn't wait long! The casual vibe, decor was eye appealing, the staff was very welcoming and friendly. We definitely will be coming back for the delicious fresh food and fast service. This might be our new go to sushi place in the concord area. The other's we have tried haven't been as good and fresh as Sushi Raku! read more

Came here for lunch at 11:15 on a Friday, restaurant was empty so I had my choice of seating. Staff was awesome. Immediately greeted me, then again I was the 1st one there. I ordered a Bento box with Chicken Katsu and Sashimi. The waitress brought over a steaming hot bowl of Miso which was a great starter on this chilly day. When my Bento arrived I was blown away with the portions. Refreshing salad, a huge pile of perfectly cooked rice. Two, Not One, Katsu cutlet and 5 pieces of Sashimi. All for $16.95. Score..... I believe their 5 piece Sashimi on the appetizer menu was $14.95 by it self. So the chicken Katsu cutlet was cooked perfectly, Crispy on the outside, moist fully cooked on the inside. As for the Sashimi, 3 tuna and two salmon in huge slices. The tuna was just ok, salmon a better quality. Bottom line, a great find. I've been here before for rolls and they were awesome. I'd probably not come here just to order Sashimi or Nigari but for a Bento or Roll, you can't go wrong. read more

First time trying Sushi Raku and ordered for to-go. Ordered the Red Crunch roll (shrimp, crabmeat, tuna, crunch, tobiko) $16.95 and the Charisma roll (shrimp, crabmeat, seared albacore, tobiko) $16.95. Both rolls were yummy and filling! I appreciated the fact they included two miso soups and two salads even though it was for to-go. Service was very friendly as well. Will be back in the future to dine in and try more of their menu! read more

My sister and I were craving Japanese food after a trip to the mall and we will definitely be coming back to this location! For the 49er roll, the salmon is so fresh, the cuts are thick and generous and melts in your mouth. We came about an hour before they closed and the salmon was still SO fresh. The Tonkatsu Don was such a huge portion and it came with two cutlets and an insanely huge amount of rice. The miso soup and side salad were also so delicious, we usually never eat either at any other Japanese spot. Other than the amazing food and great portion sizes, the customer service is amazing!! The host was so so sweet, very smiley and enthusiastic. At the end of our meal, she also brought us complimentary green tea ice cream and candies while we finished up our food and paid the tab! If you're in the area and want a good sushi/ramen/rice bowl spot.. def come here!! :-) read more

Absolutely love this place. Been going here for some time now and it is just the cutest little sushi joint. Reminds me a lot of Japan and their cute little decorations. The food portions are ridiculously generous, food always includes salad and miso soup which is delicious! We come here for dinner but I also come fairly often with my colleagues for lunch. Everyone in the restaurant is very friendly and they even decorate for little holidays like Valentine's Day. The server is the sweetest girl and she remembers us when we come in. Must try if you're looking for a nice sushi restaurant. Never a long wait and the food is always fresh and comes out in a timely manner. Definitely my favorite sushi place by far! read more

New to the area. Visited this restaurant through a recommendation from a coworker and it was good. Got their giant roll and hamachi Kama and holy the hamachi was good. They warn you that it takes longer for it to come out, but trust me, the wait is worth it. The roll was also pretty good. The price is really reasonable for the amount they give you too. read more

This place is so cute! We were given plenty of food and even extra gyoza for the table. We had come for a birthday and the ladies brought out karaoke mics and tambourines to celebrate and sing happy birthday to the birthday boy. We all left very happy and satisfied. I'm so glad we came to try it out and we will definitely be back again. The service alone is worth returning for! read more

This place is such a hidden gem in the Concord area. My boyfriend and I came during lunch and were so surprised with our overall experience. Service was super fast & everything came out so quickly. We also didn't expect to get the lunch salad & miso soup so that was a bonus! For the pricing of it, you definitely get a lot of food and is so worth it. The quality is super fresh as well. They weren't super busy during lunch time so it's easy to get tables. It also looks like they have karaoke during some evenings. Will definitely be coming back here if im in the area. read more

Sushi Raku - Shrek Roll Crunch California Roll Gyoza - Japanese Near Me - Concord, California

Walked over for lunch one day. Was not crowded and got seated right away. Service was quick and friendly. Ordered some rolls and app Ordered 3 rolls and was too much. Didn't realize it came with salad and soup. They also gave us a fried fish to try. Was a white fish with tempura batter and was really good Rolls were good as well except for the tuna poke roll. I was excited for it but it doesn't live up to the expectations. Some people might love it but I didn't like it. The seaweed on top made it cold and soggy Other 2 rolls were amazing pink lady and cherry blossom hit the spot. Good food, good service! read more

Tried their Katsu Curry. Portion was great and big. Flavor was good too, although I generally like my curry roux to be a little thicker. I appreciated that the curry sauce included boneless chicken meat in it. The pork Katsu was crunchy but just by itself it didn't have a lot of flavor, but it was fine if eaten with the curry roux. The rice was correct - Japanese style short grain. And I enjoyed the red pickles on the side as a palate cleanser in between bites. read more

Wow!! What a great first impression!! I dropped people off here while driving Lyft and decided to try it out!! On entry you are greeted by the sushi chef then the workers. It was a weds night so not busy. There were 3 workers an older man, older woman, and younger woman plus sushi chef. They were soooo nice!!! I had a long day at work and was over whelmed from my day I was all over the place while ordering and the young lady was so nice and patience with me. They took care of me and cooed over my daughter. I did a take out order and the food is delicious!! Fish is fresh and tasty !! If your looking for good quality fish come here. Friendly workers and great food. Little hole in the wall sushi place.

Sushi Raku - Assorted Sashimi Lunch (16 pieces) - Japanese Near Me - Concord, California

The Giant roll is actually GIANT. Think 2016 chipotle burrito, or something girthy like a gym bro's bicep. I was SHOCKED to see piles of salmon, unagi and tuna on top of a huge tempura california roll. It came in a full sized take out box because the standard roll container can't contain all of it's glory. Insane for only $16. Another plus is that every order comes with a soup and salad! We ordered 2 rolls takeout for a picnic, and ended up with a huge sushi meal. Good thing we were hungry! Service was great and the restaurant is small and comfy. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area, and would love to see their karaoke nights too. read more

I came here for lunch on a Friday and it was a great option. I ordered takeout calling about 20 minutes before I arrived and they were fast! The lady on the phone was very sweet and kind, she has great customer service skills. I ordered 4 rolls and a side of edamame, and everything was prepared and ready by the time I got there! They have great prices and they also gave me extra items: miso soups, potstickers, and a free roll to try. I thought it was very sweet and I am grateful for their kindness! The establishment is a decent size, and decorated with cute cherry blossom treats that light up. It definitely creates the perfect romantic dinner. I can't wait to return here. read more
