Raku Raku is a beloved shitamachi (downtown) Chinese restaurant tucked along the nostalgic Norakuro-do shopping street in Morishita, Koto Ward. Founded in 1930 and now run by the 4th generation owner, the warm, lived-in dining room — with wooden tables, retro decor, and resident cats Maron and Koron wandering freely — radiates old Tokyo charm. The menu centers on Cantonese-influenced favorites at honest neighborhood prices, with the house signature being crispy deep-fried wontons glazed in a sweet-and-sour sauce. A classic go-to for locals seeking unpretentious comfort food.
