Still as great as ever. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but remember to order multiple chalkboard specials – they’re always AMAZING. However, I was disappointed in not being able to try the kaiseki on visit #3, as they were preparing for the Lucky Rice Festival food event the very next day. But Raku has become a must-visit for my Las Vegas trips, and I’m sure I’ll get around to the kaiseki one of these days…
