I've been coming to Rai Rai Ramen since I first moved to the area a few years ago. After one…read moredisappointing experience, I decided to take a break. I'm so glad I gave them another try! This is my second takeout order since coming back, and I'm completely hooked on the mochiko chicken all over again. My new favorite is the oxtail ramen--it's absolutely delicious also the seafood special ramen. The broth is rich, flavorful, and tastes like it's been simmering for hours with so much care. It's the kind of comfort food that's perfect on a cold winter day, but honestly, it's amazing any time of year. Thank you for consistently serving such delicious food. If you're a ramen lover, Rai Rai Ramen is definitely worth a visit!

Ordered the spicy tan tan ramen and edamame. Edamamae was fine, not hard to do. The ramen portion size was HUGE, I probably finished only half of it. The broth wasn't the most flavorfull but a bit too salty. Service is pretty good, always came back for drink refills quickly.

After falling in love with Ramen Nagomi on Bayard St, we had to check out their Easton Ave sister…read morelocation -- and it did not disappoint. The ramen is just as rich, flavorful, and comforting as the original. We came with high expectations, and both the tonkotsu and spicy miso ramen were as satisfying as ever. That creamy pork broth? Still unbeatable. The spice and depth of the miso? Well balanced. And yes, we definitely got the takoyaki again (some habits shouldn't be broken). One major plus: street parking is way easier here compared to the Bayard St location. No circling the block endlessly or needing to pay metered parking -- we found free parking right out front, which made the whole experience feel way more relaxed. Any downsides? The Easton spot is smaller, with fewer tables and a tighter layout. It feels more like a ramen bar than a sit-down social restaurant, which is fine for a quick meal or a casual date night, but maybe not ideal for bigger groups or a cozier intimate feel. That said, the staff was helpful and attentive, and the ramen quality hasn't skipped a beat. If you're craving Nagomi-level ramen but want a quicker stop with less parking stress, Ramen Nagomi Easton is a fantastic option -- same soul, slightly different setting.

We went out to lunch and were craving Japanese noodles. We ordered the Osaka Beef noodles and…read moreTonkotsu Ramen. The Tonkotsu Ramen soup was delicious, the pork broth had a nice color. It was the best part of the soup. It was so savory. The marinated egg was soft and the yoke was perfect. The noodles were tender. The pork strips were soft and tender. I think they were too thin. Other Japanese ramen restaurants have the pork strips about 1/4" thick. The portion was good for snacking! I wish it was a little more. The bamboo shoots and wood ear mushrooms were nice and firm. We also ordered the Osaka Beef noodles. The braised beef has a light sweet marinated taste. The beef broth was clear light brown color. The beef was extremely tender and soft. We both enjoyed our order. The price was a little expensive for the portion of the soup. But overall this was a great place and we would go back here again.

I recently visited Rakkii Ramen and ordered two tonkotsu ramen--one with extra chashu (an…read moreadditional $4.00) and one with extra bamboo. My total came to $39.98. Like many people today, I'm mindful of what I spend dining out, so I expect good value for the price. Since I live in South Jersey, I brought the food home to eat later. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The ramen included four slices of chashu (pork belly), but three of those slices were entirely fat with no meat. I understand that pork belly naturally contains fat--that's part of what makes it flavorful--but receiving pieces that were essentially all fat made the dish unpleasant and felt like poor quality control. I called the restaurant to share my concern, but the response was underwhelming. I was simply told the manager would be informed. When I asked if there was anything further that could be done, I received no real resolution--just a basic explanation of what pork belly is. As someone who understands the product, that explanation missed the point. The issue wasn't what chashu is--it was the quality of what was served. Everything else about the meal was fine, which is why I'm giving two stars instead of one. However, customer service matters just as much as the food. A simple effort to address the issue or offer a solution would have made a big difference. As a former business owner, I've always believed customer satisfaction should be a top priority. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here, and for that reason, I won't be returning.

The oysters are fresh and really add to the flavor of the broth. I literally crave it at least once every few months or so. Always pretty empty during lunch time on weekdays.

This is pretty simple, minimalist, no frills kind of place…read more What we ordered: - Chicken Karaage - Japanese deep fried chicken w/ garlic soy sauce - Agedashi Tofu - deep fried tofu in yuzu fashion with Katsuobyshi, scallions, and Japanese mayo - Tonkotsu Ramen - Shoyu Ramen The service was fine. The woman helping us was sweet but couldn't really explain the dishes well but was helpful if we wanted to make adjustments. We did not know what the tofu dish was and asked for some clarification but was just told it was fried tofu and that it was good. We didn't know what was really on it but we ordered it anyways. We didn't enjoy it but were happy we tried it. I thought my ramen was fine, not my favorite but no complaints. My friend didn't like her ramen so she asked for hot sauce, sriracha, and soy sauce to spice it up and the server was confused at first but was fine bringing it over once we clarified what we wanted. We also didn't love the karaage chicken. All in all, we enjoyed our visit there and appreciated trying something new. They give cute little cat shaped chopstick holders. We will not likely be back because it wasn't to our liking but think it is just personal taste not that the place was bad so we do recommend trying it for yourself. A lot of other people were there and seem to all enjoy their meals and said they come there often.

It's pretty huge, can easily feed 2 people or 1 super hungry person. $27 as of 2026 Black garlic tonkatsu ramen was amazing as well. Please note, you can ask for more or less salty with any dish and adjust to your taste. My party asked for less salty to be on the healthier side and it was perfect.

I've eaten at Ottoyee for months now, and each experience has been incredibly delicious. However, the only thing is that the wait time can run very long. Not for the food to arrive, but for placing the order. We tried to get the attention of the waiter on staff multiple times, but was either ignored or they were behind the screen attending to something else. The wait time was around 15-20 minutes, but this is likely attributed to the small staff. Otherwise though, they were incredibly kind and knowledgeable of the menu and we still had a delicious experience as usual.

I so wanted to love this place, and was so excited to try it when reading the menu. Otoro? Ramen?…read moreGyudon? It all sounded like the perfect restaurant, but I'm really hesitant to return. Upon entertaining on a weekend evening, there were a few tables with patrons but not too busy. The restaurant did seem a bit understaffed with only one person taking orders / bringing food out, making it difficult to flag down this one person to successfully take our order and ask for anything additional throughout the night. Gyudon: for the price, we were really surprised at how small of a portion this was. It was not only in a small bowl, but the meat was layered on top perfectly deceiving you to think that there was more than there actually was. The majority of this dish was rice, and with limited sauce at that. As displayed on the menu images it was to be served with a runny egg, but unfortunately we got a fully cooked one (disappointing, as we were looking for something to mix with the rice!) Sushi: We got a 3 rolls and they were just alright. They were pretty small in size, with less rice than I'm used to (which is something I do like - I would rather more fish than rice!) With us getting spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and spicy scallop - they all kind of tasted the same, so I wish the fish wasn't as heavily masked with spicy mayo. Ramen: I got the black garlic ramen, and it wasn't the best, but wasn't the worst. I've purchased fresh ramen packages in the supermarket before and it tasted just like that, so it made me disappointed knowing I could achieve the same at home. The soup itself was extremely rich and fatty, and the charsiu had no flavor whatsoever leaving much to be desired. The main reason I'm rating this so low is upon having my last bites of sushi, I could tell something was off. I don't recall which specifically I had but I made a statement that it was extremely fishy and off putting. Fast forward later that night, I was hunched over the toilet vomiting with stomach pain - and I can deduct that the sushi was the culprit. I might consider trying Ottoyee again due to the great deals they have listed on food delivery apps, but the sushi quality (quite literally) put a bad taste in my mouth.

Khao Soi serves with rice noodle instead of egg noodle. Curry is good. Shrimp pad thai is on the sour side more than sweet. Not bad. Duck noodle is ok. Doesn't have much of the herbal flavor but is more of the clear noodle soup. Pork noodle is also ok. A bit weird with the lettuce in it. Chicken satay is good. The meat is not too dry and not burnt. All in all - the portions are ginormous!! And would visit again.
