This place is amazing!! There is so much on the menu that you struggle to choose.. but then the manager is there to help and give you some advice based on what you might like... we chose the platter to share to start. Filippino spring rolls are the best spring rolls we have ever tasted. The platter is so filling that we had to leave some otherwise we wouldn't have space for the main course. Followed by malaysian curry and noodles (C7 on the menu!). Soo tasty! Best sticky rice ever to go with the curry. Place is lovely and prices are reasonable. I loved Koh Thai but this restaurant is by far superior! Nothing like any other restaurant around and it brings a mixture of authentic asian cuisine! We will definitely be back. Many thanks!!
Nice place with delicious food! Portions are good size and decent price. Very friendly and attentive staff, perhaps a bit too attentive but understandable since it's a new place looking for feedback. Will definitely be coming back!
Ate here last night with Alana. It was fabulous. Really authentic, delicious south East Asian food, reasonably priced, and lovely, friendly staff. Thoroughly recommend - this is my new go to for that style of food!! �
Absolutely the best, authentic and delicious South East Asian food. Really great atmosphere to dining, very friendly staff and welcoming. You all must come and try it. Will definitely coming back soon!
Went there with my Mum and 2 boys. Fantastic atmosphere, excellent service and food to die for. The chicken spring rolls and beef rendang were the best I've ever had!
The food and friendly service was superb - a great selection of authentic SE Asian dishes, beautifully prepared and flavoured with succulent and tongue-tingling spices. Lots of variety for vegetarians and vegans too - the sharing veggie platter for 2 was just excellent. Highly recommended.
Best Malaysian food I've had outside Malaysia! Massive portions and a nice place to eat in. Rendang and pad thai highly recommended.

Authentic food! Great staff!
Staff are very friendly and the food is excellent
Amazing food, and the service is incredible. They were happy to accommodate 11 of us despite not even booking prior. Definitely deserves alot of attention.
We tried out a couple of Malaysian/Singaporean, as well as Japanese dishes at this restaurant. Really loved the food, service and ambiance that we went there twice in our day in Portsmouth. The price vs portion was also good. We really loved the beef rendang, char kueh tiaw and the mee goreng mamak. Also loved the teriyaki and tempura combo set. We also ordered the Singaporean Vermicelli and Nasi Goreng, which were not bad. We were informed by our server Derek that the chicken and beef are halal. Highly recommend the restaurant.
I love going to Rakuzen, especially for the beef rendang. There is no other restaurant serving Malay style food in Portsmouth. Delicious!
Just been back this evening and it was great, check out the pictures....
This place is my new go to for sushi in Portsmouth
Craving for malaysia food. 1st time here. Not disappointed at all. Food tastes good, staff are friendly and love this little cozy restaurant. Me and hubby have a wonderful dinner here.
I am a vegetarian. This was the first time I tried Rakuzen. Although the options were limited, they offered to make other vegetarian dishes by replacing meat with tofu or vegetables. To be safe, I ordered soba noodles with vegetables. It was my first time having authentic soba noodles, and they were delicious. The fried tofu was amazing and my favorite dish out of everything I ordered. I also tried the caterpillar sushi roll, but when I asked if they could make a couple of other dishes vegetarian, I was told that the base sauce contained seafood. I really appreciate it when people are honest about the ingredients in their food. The restaurant has lovely paintings inside, and even though we went during a busy time, they were very accommodating and managed to find us a table. I will definitely go there again.
We selected 5 dishes with some help. All really good, plenty for two. Only down point was the glass of coke, but we would definitely recommend and return
Quiet, wonderful atmosphere and lovely service. Food is genuinely amazing, this is my favourite restaurant in Portsmouth
Visit Portsmouth and looking for halal food. This restaurant was not in the google list if you search for ‘Halal food in Portsmouth’. However, I try to search in facebook and found 1 post regarding this restaurant did served Halal chicken and beef. We asked the owner and he confirmed it. Taste wise it meet our taste bud and taste exactly as the home country food. The turn over for the food also very fast. Totally recommended for those who looking for Halal restaurant in Portsmouth.
