Everything was so delicious! It was our one year wedding anniversary and the staff made it extra special and fun. They even helped me surprise my husband with some glassware! The MindKiller is still as incredible as we remembered, so much better than a regular painkiller! Also highly recommend the Saturn, the execution is flawless!

Love this place so much! I come every week. I love that the two restaurants are connected so that I can order from the RakiRaki side and my boyfriend can order vegan options from The Yasai. So good.
