Rakuza is a great space with natural light, a view of the ocean, and a minimalist decor. There is jazz playing, some interesting artwork, and a selection of cool art and design books. Lunch was
1050Y and includes hot/cold coffee/tea, salad, soup, main, and dessert. The salad is cabbage with pepper ranch dressing and a slice a ripe tomato and baked pumpkin. The soup is actually homemade, a peppery broth with beans, quite delicious. We had Thai green curry and Thai-style chow mien for our mains. Both had lots of veggies and chili, and were good, but not mind-blowing. The dessert was a nice mango-flavoured pudding with a piece of watermelon and grapefruit. A very pleasant lunch in a space that would be an excellent place for an evening drink.
