"We showed up for our lunch reservation and were greeted by locked doors but no indication of why they were locked. There were workers inside but no sign of any other diners. Is this place closing down?"

"We are avid sushi eaters, and I can easily say that Sushi Raku has THE FRESHEST sushi I have ever had in Houston! Everything from the rice, to the seaweed, down to the fish was perfect. Can't believe it took me so long to find it. Was surprised how few people were there on a Friday night. Spread the word - we don't want this restaurant to go under!"
