RAI restaurant reviews




Average rating: 4.6
Very enjoyable Omakaze experience.
Authentic and delicious.
The counter seats are a little tight I must admit, but considering how popular the Omakaze experience is, I am not surprised.
I’d like to see a counter expansion in the future for guests to feel a bit more comfortable - observing the mastery of the chef.
The various courses are a great deal for the quality.
The à la carte option is also reasonably priced with good variety.
The Wagyu add-on (in my opinion) was not worthwhile. The quantity itself is fine but the quality of the Wagyu is of a lower grade than expected. The marbling wasn’t great and the fattiness was not of the finest quality (for the price).
But otherwise, quality is good 8/10. Hospitality is fine 6/10.
