Best late-night dining: Raku

Great at any hour, after midnight the place is packed with those ready to worship at the altar of Chef Mitsuo Endo. It’s the best time to try something crazy, like charcoal grilled beef tendon or a bowl of sea urchin with poached egg and salmon roe. 5030 W. Spring Mountain Road. Mon.-Sat., 6 p.m.-3 a.m. 367-3511.
