    Trout special
    Drew L.

    A great place for a power lunch meeting. Great food and first class service. Slightly dark lighting but just right for a quality setting where you can hear each other speak in a normal tone. Aces all around.

    Spinach artichoke dip
    Wendy G.

    It's been in MD for a while but decided to finally pay a visit after seeing it go viral online! Had 7:45 reservations but it was a busy Friday night and we ended up getting seated at ~8:15. Management was kind enough to comp an app for us which was much appreciated. Apps: Decided to give the sushi a try but knew it was a red flag when I could tell the rice was not seasoned at all! (No rice vinegar, 0 flavor) The tuna in the tuna avocado was fresh but stick to your local sushi restaurant instead and skip the hefty price tag for a basic roll. Also got the spinach artichoke dip. For how much people raved about it, it was good but nothing crazy different. Mains: Had to get the French dip and crispy chicken sandwich! Both were tasty, I liked how warm the au jus stayed in the little tea pot. We had spicy mayo and house seasoning to accompany our fries- special ingredient in the mayo was sesame oil which was interesting. Overall, vibe is great for a night out. Food is fine, would be interested in trying other menu items

    French dip sandwich

    I had to knock off some stars as they changed their shoestring fries and no more off the menu chicken fingers! And no more lemonade. Talking about three strikes especially if you have a child and that's all they want. What the heck man. And where is their club sandwich? Houston's Hawaiian thankfully is still on the menu and can be ordered during lunch. It's the best dish here imo, which my wife and my sis-in-law ordered. I was craving prime rib sandwich which did not disappoint, with the exception of the fries. Please bring back the shoestring fries! I like the ambiance of this place but the lack of tables seating more than 4 people is a letdown. The party in front of us was quite disappointed they had to sit at the bar counter to seat 5 people. Not a good place to go for large parties! Our server was very nice and no complaints about service. They even have hot towels by request, which was a nice touch. They finally do accept reservations on their website which is a plus too.

    Crispy Chicken Sandwich
    Omara R.

    I remembered Woodmont as a diner, now it is Woodmont Grill. The menu did not have a lot of options, it had Sushi, burgers, steaks, crabcakes; etc.. Because the options were limited i ordered a chicken sandwich (I don't normally eat sandwiches), which was crispy, flavorful but the ratio of chicken was 3 to 1 buns to chicken. The straws fries were super crispy and perfectly salted. Waitstaffs were nice and the place was cleaned, cozy. I didn't like the note on the menu where it said: "when you are done eating please leave we need the table for other customers". We were four women who get together maybe once in four or five months; not a place to sit around and catch up. We left within an hour and half.

    I was craving some delicious sushi, so we stopped by Woodmont Grill and sat at the bar. We ordered two jackrabbits and rolls. The Osaka style pressed sushi was so delicious, my new favorite item. The entres portions were huge, I couldn't finish my salad! The ribs were delicious as always, although the fries were overcooked but their honey mustard is to die for. The bartender was really nice and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Overall, the atmosphere was great and had a great time together!

    The food is always great here. My friend loves their cheeseburgers. I love their fish. We got the spinach dip appetizer which was really good. Reminded me of Houston's from long ago. Service is exceptional here. My arctic char was delicious. Tenderly cooked. The rock shrimp was good too. I'm not really a coleslaw fan as I don't really care for mayo. We also each had the ice cream with pea and. Love the chocolate sauce on the side. I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon, especially in the company of a good friend.

    We were here for an early dinner and drinks. First of all our server Jackie was very sweet, smiling all the time. Very pleasant always asking what we need. We ordered a few things since .it was supposed to be hapoy hour turned dinner. It was good the cheeseburger was great. We asked to be cut into four since it was huge. And she kinda forgot to let the kitchen know or maybe it was overlooked. The ribs were good and the salad accompanying it. We loved the salad and the fries. We had bread in the beginning and i didn't realized that it was not free like the ones they give in other restaurants as a free appetizer. It was $8.00 but i guess inflation or maybe they were very fancy. Ambiance was nice. Calm and not too noisy. The prices were a bit steep but then again we were dining at Downtown Bethesda so thats to be expected

    Came in for a late lunch/early dinner, and the restaurant is packed. Service is good but food wasn't that great The pressed sushi which they are know for, was good but nothing spectacular. I ordered their tuna tartare and it was very one dimensional. It was missing some acidity. Kinda flat My husband order burger and I ordered their special which was flute fish. They didn't tell me it was breaded and almost like deep fried. Nonetheless, it was extremely buttery. I didn't want to finish my entree. I switch out their coleslaw for their kale and that too was flat. Since I couldn't enjoy my dinner, I took half of my husband's burger. Honestly, I can get the same burger, somewhere cheaper. Overall it was disappointing. We had a gift card which was told that it was used already at their other location. The manager said it was claim at water Park restaurant which is weird bc the gc was specially for their restaurant. We didn't redeem it, so it was extremely weird. Not to say that it was the staff's fault, but it was still weird. Would I come back? Probably not.

    Filet with Hand-cut French Fries

    Thank me later! This is one of the best steaks - "Hawaiian Ribeye" in the DMV. If you know then you know. The steak is tender, juicy, flavorful, perfectly cooked to temperature and seasoned to perfection. The fries are freshly hand cut and hot hot! We all hate cold fries and these were fantastic. The service is excellent and prompt. The hostesses aren't very friendly and slow to seat people even when there are plenty of empty booths at 12:30 noon on a Friday! If you have patience, it's worth the wait!

    Crab Cake lunch
    Kris M.

    This is probably the best restaurant in the Hillstone group. They have more to offer than the others, ande EVERYTHING is phenomenal. Crab cakes, pressed sushi, the kale & chicken salad, ribs, and THE best Prime Dip Sandwich, hands down. It's been months since I started this review and I am happy to say that our version, Los Altos Grill in California, is a close second.

    We came here for a late night dinner around 8pm on a Tuesday night however we called ahead to see if they had any tables open at the time and they said they didn't have any available seats until 9pm but we could sit at the bar for full service. At first we debated if we wanted to do that for a while before coming in. But when we did (we never mentioned we called ahead when we walked in) the bar was completely full and they had a lot of empty seats in the dining room which I thought was strange as it contradicted what the host mentioned on the phone (I'm guessing because of reservations? But the dining room was pretty much almost empty except for a couple tables) The host ended up seating us right away in the dining room even though we didn't have a reservation though. We ended up having the Brussel sprout as an appetizer, which I felt could have cooked or roasted a bit more as I like them to be a little more crispy. The sauce they paired with it was pretty good and we ended up keeping it. We also got the Caesar salad with the fried oysters, which was pretty good but it wasn't anything special just like any traditional Caesar salad. The oysters were a nice touch as they tasted pretty fresh and I would recommend trying it. The barbecue ribs (which we ended up getting since they were out of crab cakes) were very good alternative as the meat was super tender and literally just fell off the bone. It had a nice barbecue with a subtle smokey flavor to it. The last entree we got was the Hawaiian rib-eye and this was my one of my favorite dishes from the night. The sauce was semi sweet with the subtle pineapple flavor from the marinade and it was cooked perfectly (median rare) and super tender and easy to cut into, which is often not the case compared to most places I've been to. My second favorite dish was actually a side which was the cream corn, which I was hesitant to get at first but the server was actually the one who recommended and I'm so glad I listened and paired really well with our entrees. Service was fantastic, our waitress was super helpful in selling us on the specials for that night and in recommending any dishes for us to try. They were super attentive in making sure to check up on us frequently throughout our meal, and making sure our water glasses were never empty. 10/10 service as we never had to flag anyone down for anything and made sure we were happy throughout our whole meal. Personally, even though I thought the food was pretty good and I loved the service here, the price of the food just doesn't make it seem worth it or anything special to me to want to come back or recommend it for others as an absolute must try place. There wasn't anything overly special about the food that could make me justify coming back to spend $50-60 on a steak but it was definitely a nice experience.

Everyone was so friendly, though, and the service was great! The inside wasn't too loud, and I don't remember much music playing, which made it nice and comfortable.

    I attempted to contact the restaurant via email directly but no direct contact info provided on…read moretheir website, so I am posting here. Summary: it litterally left a bad taste in my. Off Uni which I saved for the last taste, first pieces stunk of ammonia, replacements were just bitter and off as well. These were suppose to be chef choice and he chose to serve off uni which could have easily been deteced with a sniff test. The salmon roe was also soft, runny, tasteless and off color. The remainder of the shashimi was OK but lacked the freshness one would expect for the price. Also the platter was so cluttered I could not identify what was what. Labels would be helpful. First time visit, first impressions are importent. Not the best experience I am giving an 1 star rating to draw attention for their managment and maybe fair warning to customers. I visited Raku on Thursday April 30 @7:30, Restaurant was about 3/4 full. A bit tight seasting as other's had described. Elbow to elbow almost. Typically noisy as resturantes are these days. 1. When we walked in, the receptionist / greeter had no uniform or ID badge so a bit confusing and no reception desk. Not the most welcoming hospitality. 2. Wait staff sort of dissappeared mid service or was just unattentive, they were right around the corner at the wait station. I dropped a chopstick on the floor and needed a repacement. I could not get eye contact so I had to get up and request a replacement after a few minutes. The two of us order the TOKU JO SASHIMI - (38) Chef's Choice ~ White or Multigrain Rice - $110. 3. The shashim was served an a single platter which was a bit crowded and lacked the artistry or elegance a $110 platter of shashimi shoud be presented. Many of the pieces were cut too large and chunky. I appreciate the generosity of the protions but they could / should have been sliced in half. Most of the fish tasted OK but lacked the brightness you expect from fresh cut shashimi. Maybe these platters are pre-prepared and storred in the cooler until needed. The rice served in bowls with the platter was extreemly bland to me. No flavor at all and a bit over cooked. 4. We ordeed the corn meal coated calamari as appetizer. This was adequate but lacked seasoniong and included a some what bland ambigious dipping sauce. Maybe garlic aioli. This was compped in compensation for the off uni in the sushi platter. Probabaly not going back regardless as I am not local.

    I'm updating my review now. I went to this Raku several times for lunch and dinner more than…read moredecade. It's convenient location while you're in Bethesda Row area. Raku is an Asian fusion restaurant and have some verity of Asians menus that's nice things about here. Their popular coconuts curry noodles soup is from Thai or Vietnamese coconuts curry, and not as spicy as authentic Thai or Vietnamese ones so It's easy to eat. You can choose from 3 type of noodles and different soup - curry or simple broth. It's probably better choice here than their sushi for my preference. If we just want Sushi in near Bethesda area, Sushiko in Chavy Chase is good. When we crave for Authentic sushi we just go to authentic Japanese restaurants ( some Michelin stars "Sushi Taro" in DC ) that is truly authentic quality. I also go to other one for sushi ( "Love Sushi Makoto" in DC ) I know that's not even comparable category as those restaurants offers authentic real foods by Japanese owner and chef, and ingredients are real from Japan. I know It's not fair to compare to Asian fusion restaurant like Raku or typical local sushi places that other Asian or American own the place. Raku is very reasonably priced as it should be for actual ingredients. Price stays reasonable that makes this place a popular spot too. I have to be honest their miso soup tastes no real authentic favor to me. But Raku is definitely better choice of quality foods overall compare to other Asian restaurants in Bethesda. Sushi chefs and waitresses are asian and none of them are Japanese and that is ok as most of Sushi chefs and Sushi restaurants in USA the workers are not Japanese anyways. It is actually hard to find Sushi restaurants that owned by Japanese with real Japanese chefs and waitresses and staff in USA. They sometimes says welcome "irasshai" in some Japanese greeting ( that's only used in restaurant setting ) with their wrong accent that is cute to me:) Bethesda is a cute little town and Bethesda row is just like a corner cute village with surrounded by basic restaurants and cafes, normal shops, nothing luxury really, but safer and quiet, clean little town. Neighbors enjoy to go out to restaurants including this Raku as easy to access from near suburbs housing area, so my friends does and walking distance from their houses. This restaurant set small tables very close to next seat and there's very small bar that space is limited, that's as why it's always filled up and crowded. It's uncomfortable and no privacy, I wish they make space between next seats. Except winter, they offer outside seats and dog friendly that's a bonus for dog lovers.
