Consistent AYCE sushi. It's not the best fish I've ever had but it's a solid choice. Service is friendly and not rushed. Their hot foods are quite good too!

Brooklyn has no shortage of AYCE sushi spots, and most of them are pretty average. Let's be honest, when you go to these places, you're not expecting fine dining--you're just hoping the food is decent, you get your money's worth, and that you won't regret it later. I usually hit up Sake on 86th, which is chaotic to say the least, so Rakuzen was a much-needed change of pace! From the moment you walk in, the staff greets you, refills your drinks, and checks in throughout the meal. The service alone makes this place stand out compared to other AYCE sushi joints. Plus, it's spacious, so you're not packed in like sardines. There were a lot of people dining when we went, including big groups, which tells me this place is definitely popular. As for the sushi, the quality was great--way better than what I've had at Sake. I'll definitely be coming back and hope it stays a hidden gem!

This place was very empty when I went on Friday around 4 PM. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted. I had placed an order online and was picking it up, so they checked my order for me and then told me to have a seat first because it wasn't ready yet. Once my order was ready, they asked me to double check my order, which was correct. As for the taste, the sushi was very delicious in my opinion. However, the sushi rolls would break apart as I pick it up, so that was quite disappointing. All in all, I would try this place again because it tasted pretty good.

Came here after a hot day at Coney Island. For AYCE sushi, this place is pretty nice, in my opinion! It wasn't busy when I arrived and the staff were very nice and efficient. The rolls themselves were fresh and tasty, and for appetizers being included and the wide array of options, the price is worth it in my opinion. I would very much like to come again to try more!

I love sushi. I'm not saying this is the best sushi but it's pretty good as AYCE sushi restaurant. A lot of selections and they also have sashimi. They also have a wide variety of hot appetizers which I love. Shrimp tempura and the short rib is one of my favorite. Don't sleep on the mozzarella sticks. It's a weird combo but pretty good. You mark your order in a paper and just check off what items I want and how many. The servers are very helpful. They fill your water pretty quickly and come often to the table and ask if you want to order more. We ate on a Friday night and we were able to grab a table fairly quickly for four.

I wanted to update my review since I had came back yesterday and really enjoyed my experience this time around. I came around 12pm on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy since most people were likely celebrating Chinese New Year at the parade in the neighborhood. I got sat quickly and I immediately noticed that the "sashimi" menu option was no longer provided. Last time I came, I tried out that menu but unfortunately did not think it was worth the extra $10 as the fish did not really taste fresh. This time around, I ordered a lot of sushi a la carte and I was really happy to see such nice cuts of fish and even the smell of them vastly improved. They also tasted really delicious and I ended up ordering 3 more rounds. My favorite was the salmon and white tuna. They were nice cuts that tasted fatty and not slimy. I think I will continue returning here, but I may choose to go at earlier times where it's less busy. Perhaps last time it was just a matter of the supplier but I look forward to my next visit here!
