At RaKitori, the casual vibe is perfect for grabbing a flavorful bite. The Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen was deliciously spicy, pairing wonderfully with the sweet potato yakitori. Our server, Johnny, was warm and attentive, making the experience all the better. Can’t wait to return for more!

RAKITORI Japanese Pub & Grill is a gem on University Ave! 😍 The atmosphere is cozy and trendy, perfect for a casual night out. I highly recommend the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen - it’s packed with flavor and just the right amount of spice!

We also indulged in the baby octopus salad and the What The Hell roll, both were scrumptious.

Our server, Abraham, was incredibly attentive and friendly, and they even treated us to a free scoop of homemade green tea ice cream for our review! 🍦 Can't wait to return for another delicious meal!
