Sweets Raku

so sad to hear june will be their last month of operation after 10 solid years of serving the most creative and delightful desserts in las vegas. went last sunday and was in line at 2:15 after late lunch (they open at 3pm) and there were already 25 people in line. took 2 hours to be seated and i would do it all over again. they’re really busy so check their hours and plan accordingly!

This place was so nice! We showed up super late with a large party and they were able to seat us quickly, and then when we mentioned we were in a hurry they were so amazing and brought the courses so quickly! The food was awesome, I loved the yuzu marshmallows the most. I'm definitely going to go back when I get a chance.

This is a fantastic place and an experience! If you can, seat at the bar, where you can watch how the deserts are prepared. It is an art work. Deserts are delicious. Get the desert "set" to try fits course desert and second. You will understand once you are there. They have great wine 🍷 as well and small savory bites. In season the wait could be long. But it is worth the wait. This is a tiny place. Be patient, polite and make friends with other people while you waiting. We loved the Luna and Haru, and mango 🥭 ice Cream and chocolate puff pastry 🥮. Everything was delicious 😋

Absolutely amazing- one of the top desserts I've ever had! The guy next to me kept exclaiming “This what desserts are supposed to taste like!” and he wasn’t wrong! Got the Luna: a parfait made of strawberries, mascarpone mousse, chocolate wafers & whip cream, topped with brûlée custard and strawberry sorbet and served with a candy spoon! The strawberry sorbet in particular was amazing! Not only does it taste amazing, but you get to watch them prepare it if you’re able to snag a seat at the bar! I also got the Sakurambo tea (cherry flavored) on recommendation since it would pair better than other decaf options, and was pleased with the selection.

This place can give you a nice experience of watching the chef to make your dessert in front of you. The staff were nice and friendly. Service time was reasonable since there was a lot of work to make the presentation look perfect. I think the taste of the desserts was just okay... I was not too impressed with the flavor or texture. The price was kind of expensive that I paid for the presentation. In brief, the desserts were great but pricey. Overall, this is a nice place for hanging out or dating if you have a higher budget.

Make sure you get the dessert that is freshly made at the counter! The prepared one sits too long and texture was changed. Really love the interior. We ordered spring mountain, mascarpone tart and mango sorbet, everything was delicious. Just not appreciate that they didn’t let us know the minimum $12 per person requirement before we ordered.

I visited Las Vegas in summer and was craving for a good dessert. My research showed that Sweet Rake is very highly rated so I decided to go here. The restaurant is tucked between other restaurants in a strip mall. The parking is very limited but I street parked nearby. The restaurant is very small - only few tables and there's a 'bar' seating facing the prep area. Since I came alone, I was seated at the further down of the bar seating. However, the server always checked on me and never forget me (excellent service!). I ordered Sweet raku dessert set with vanilla cream puff as the 1st and Spring mountain as the 2nd. The chefs and staffs assembled the desserts as the order came. - Vanilla cream puff: the cream puff was light and airy. The vanilla cream is superrrr goooddd! It was just a tad sweet and I could really taste the vanilla. The raspberry sauce gave good balance of sourness to cut the fat in the cream. - Spring mountain: star of the show! The large amount of pistachio cream was surprisingly not too much and delicious! It tasted slightly nutty pistachio and a tad sweet. The raspberry mousse complemented the pistachio cream so well as it was light and gave a good balance of sourness. The chocolate sponge cake was rich yet it was light in texture. The pie crust was crunchy and flaky (it was ok for me as I don't really like pie). The raspberry sauce cut the richness of the cream and acted as a palate refresher. I am still impressed with the quality & the craft that were put into these dessert. Yes, it was a bit expensive 'just' for dessert, but at least I tried one of the best desserts.

Such a cute place for deserts and light bites. The food quality is exceptional, and very different, tasty and very light. Love The cream puffs, Spring Mountain, croissant sandwich, basically everything on the menu. It’s a small place, all white, bright and minimalist. Our most favorite place in Vegas to go for deserts, coffee after dinner

One of my favorite dessert place. It’s like a mini show and dining experience. The food is unique and heavenly and sometime rich but worth every bite! The only reason I held back a star is because the venue is small and there’s a line to wait and no reservation available on most days. I would love to see a larger venue. Service was excellent as most Japanese venues are. Enjoy!
