My daughter and I decided to be a little adventurous and headed to Coppell, Texas, about seven miles from home. Since we were craving ramen, we stumbled upon Rakkan Ramen, and I'm glad we did! The restaurant is located in a very swanky and beautiful area. The inside is elegant, well organized, spotless, and so clean you almost feel guilty leaving footprints. As luck would have it, we accidentally entered through the rear entrance and confidently walked right up to the counter as if we knew exactly what we were doing. We were warmly greeted by Ms. Emily and Ms. Jaime, who were both serving as hostess and waitress. Emily escorted us to a comfortable booth and quickly brought us glasses of water, making us feel right at home. We started with the five-piece Chicken Karaage served with arugula and a slice of lemon for $9.50. The chicken was wonderfully crispy, which I really enjoyed. I squeezed that lemon over every piece, hoping for a little extra magic. While the texture was excellent, I thought the chicken itself could have used a bit more seasoning. For our main course, my daughter ordered the Quartz Ramen with chicken and a boiled egg. The broth was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor, with fresh vegetables that made every bite enjoyable. I ordered the Garnet Ramen, which was just as delicious, with flavorful broth, chicken, vegetables, and a boiled egg. Both bowls were $17, and while they were absolutely tasty, I couldn't help but wish they had been a little more generous with the noodles. I guess they wanted to leave us wanting more! Overall, this place is truly awesome, and you can bet I'll be back--even if I have to go by myself! One little heads-up: finding a parking spot might test your patience, but the walk gives you a chance to enjoy the beautiful surroundings, so it's not a bad trade-off. I hope to see you there! read more

Stopped by after partaking an orchestra event, as it wasn't too busy. We ordered the spicy cucumbers and two trays of gyozas. They were so delicious! I got the Sushi Flight that has smoked salmon, salmon, scallop and shrimp and it was amazing! My family ordered their ramen and said it tasted pretty well. The only con was that the server didn't set down any of our food. She would hand it to us as if it was our duty to place it down even when she had the space. Holding really hot bowls and passing it down to my family members where there were much space to put the bowls and plates down in front of us made me upset knowing I was with older adults whom cannot take the steaming ramen bowls. read more

The worst of three poor experiences. This was my third time trying this place as a solo diner, hoping to have just one good experience. I was acknowledged by a young woman who then immediately went to finish something at the register while I waited. I was led through the restaurant, past dozens of empty tables and about 10 other diners, to a bar-top in the back corner of the restaurant--the same spot I was taken on my first two visits. I was told dismissively that they would be back with water. I can't say for certain if she had a genuine look of disgust while having to seat me, or if that is just the way her face looks. Both realities were unappealing. I waited and watched as the tables in the main dining section were tended to by this waitress and others. I waited more, and more, until I finally got up and left. As I walked past the front register, all three waitresses were there giggling and cackling. When my waitress made eye contact with me, I again struggled to determine if her repugnant expression was directed at me or if that is how she looks naturally. Nonetheless, I was still not acknowledged as I passed by and left. The previous two visits over the last year shared a similar problem. The waitstaff seemed disinterested, avoidant, and even burdened to perform a minimum level of service. But at least I was eventually able to get lunch on those previous visits. The food quality has always been high, and the restaurant is designed beautifully. The style and flavor profile of the ramen are different from most other options in the Metroplex. Unfortunately, the level of service is a disgrace to the Japanese heritage they so proudly reference in their menus. read more

The food is good but hours posted say until 10. I tried calling at 9:20 last night and even trying to place the order online for pick up. I finally decided to walk over and they were already closed and saw the staff leaving. So fast forward to the next day I try calling again and phone says it cannot take calls. I get there to place my order in person. The phone was sitting on the host stand disconnected from the receiver... guess it explains why I couldn't call to place my order. Again, I like the food but really disappointing and unprofessional. read more

RAKKAN Ramen - Coppell - Ramen Near Me - Coppell, Texas

On a nice day Rakkan has the BEST outside seating area I've been to in DFW; day and night. It overlooks North Lake and has a really nice atmosphere. The ramen was ok... leaning towards the too salty side. It's nothing fancy. We really like the buns though. These were good. Service was attentive. read more

RAKKAN Ramen - Coppell - QUARTZ ramen - Ramen Near Me - Coppell, Texas

What a great find! We were in Coppell after a sporting event and looking for a place to have a nice lunch on a cold day. We found this delicious ramen restaurant in an up-and-coming shopping and restraurant area of the city. We were impressed with the variety on the menu. There is a great selection of appetizers (we sampled the gyoza) and delicious options for ramen. Each ramen dish is well thought-out and described. I had the "Garnet" with chicken. It was made with a vegetable broth that was deeply seasoned with miso - very flavorful. The combination of veg and toppings (especially the crunchy fried onions) gave it great texture. For dessert, we were excited to try their mochi ice cream. We were having a difficult time deciding so the server suggested one of each flavor (mango and strawberry). Great choice because we loved sampling both! read more

Chashu pork is a bit dried, but other than that all fines. Good service and good soup

Came here to eat with the family and was told that the kitchen closes 30 min before they close for the evening. However when I called they stated they close at 10pm. Would have been nice if they would have stayed they close at 10pm but the kitchen closes at 9:30pm. read more

The ramen was alright. The noodle texture was ok, the chasu pieces were alright, but kind of small, and the eggs were a little cold. The noodles were ok. I got the thick noodles, but I think I would have liked the thin noodles more. I got the spicy version of a soup, but it wasn't too spicy. I think the soup could have had more flavor. The ramen was mediocre. I wouldn't go out of my way to get it. I was hungry since I was attending weebcon and it still was alright. read more

RAKKAN Ramen - Coppell - SPICY GARNET - Ramen Near Me - Coppell, Texas

Food is fine. Drinks are fine. On the salty side. The portions are on the smaller side- I had no problem eating mine and the prices were on the higher side. Ambiance is cool on the inside and the outside is the best bc it's in cypress. Service is not great. It took 30min to get the check and then more time to get a to go box. They also split the check inaccurately but by then we jsut wanted to leave. read more

Not sure why this restaurant has such a decent rating...this had to be the worst tasteless ramen I have ever had. I felt as if I was having watered down soup. The staff lacked in clearing and cleaning the table our visit. The sushi rice would crumble upon trying to pick up the sushi, making it very difficult to eat. In my opinion the best thing on the menu was the French fries. Which is kind of sad. read more

Solid ramen spot tucked in a nice little plaza with a park and lake out back, which adds a surprising amount of chill to a bowl of ramen. Inside's got good energy, service was friendly. Tried the spicy Quartz ramen and was honestly impressed for a veggie-based broth. Rich, flavorful, and didn't taste like it was missing anything. The spice level was more gentle nudge than spicy slap. The noodles had a nice chew, and the toppings were solid, though I do wish the chashu was a bit thicker. Also had the fried gyoza which were VERY crispy, clearly deep-fried, possibly twice just for good measure. Would I return just for those? Probably not, but I wouldn't be mad about it either. Not the best ramen I've had, but definitely one of the more balanced bowls around, and bonus points for the veggie options and fast turnaround time. Worth a visit if you're in the area or craving something comforting without a ton of grease. Just don't expect to be blown away, and you'll leave happy. read more

RAKKAN Ramen - Coppell - Ramen Near Me - Coppell, Texas

Really good place to come and have ramen! We've visited twice now and have enjoyed both times. Once on Sunday afternoon and another on a Saturday night. Service was ok, I wouldn't say attentive but definitely friendly and accommodating- they just seemed really busy. A good date place as you have plenty of time to talk and enjoy your food. Fried dumplings and octopus balls both are good. I've gotten the spicy quartz ramen twice with garlic and green onion and it's amazing. Husband has gotten the amber which is good as well. Not the most amazing ramen ever but definitely good and worth a try! Enjoy!! read more

I am a HUGE ramen fan and lover so when I discovered this place had to try it! Haven't had a disappointing experience yet! And I love the fact you can substitute pretty much anything for "Vegan" which is the main thing I struggle with when eating places! It was even so good I brought all my teammates from work back for lunch one day and not a single one of them had a complaint or didn't clean their bowls and leave with full tummies! read more

My boyfriend and I have been to this restaurant multiple times, we absolutely love it! We always get the same two dishes: spicy garnet and spicy quartz. We'll try different appetizers every now and then but the two ramens are always a constant. We recently discovered that you can also DoorDash this location and we were EXCITED! The first time was a great experience, packaged nicely and it tasted great as per usual. The second, and last, wasn't the best experience AT FIRST, as we believe our order got mixed up with someone else's; missing ramen, ramen we received was not one of ours (we would know, we order the same two every time!) HOWEVER, Sean, the owner of this branch, completely went out of his way to deliver it to our home instead due to DoorDash being unable to redeliver. We were so taken back as we've never experienced that type of offer before. Meeting Sean was such a delight, as he had such positive energy and wanted to make it right for us. We were already loyal to this spot before, but Sean's excellent service will continue to have us back. This has been such a long overdue review, but we thank you again Sean, and we love RAKKAN Ramen! read more

Found my 2nd go-to Ramen spot in DFW! Lots of vegetarian and vegan options to choose from and very good ambience. Hands-down my favorite Veggie/ Vegan gyozas ever- super flavorful and perfectly crispy- we had to get a 2nd order and would go there just for those any day! The Ramen was yummy too and remember to ask for a side of garlic to put into it, makes it even better. Tip: if you get any additional toppings on the side, they are good for 2 portions so order accordingly.

I'm glad this was not my first impression of this place. read more

I was surprised to know that Rakkan Ramen mainly use vegetable broth to make all of the soup, which can serve a variety of customers with dietary restrictions. Although the ramen did not use traditional meat broth, the flavor is really good! We got a couple of appetizers! And I ordered a spicy Quartz ramen for myself. All the food was pretty good and well-flavored! They have the spicy paste on the side too where you can adjust more spice in your ramen. I do wish the chasu can be a bit thicker though. The staff were very helpful and friendly. And I really like the atmosphere of this place!The restaurant is clean and nice. Plus, in the backside, there was a lake where you can take a walk! Overall it was a good experience for me and my friends! read more

This RAKKAn Ramen is in the Coppell area, situated in a nice plaza with a park & Cypress Waters Trail behind it. We just arrived in Dallas and were looking for a quick-ish and comforting bite to get as our first meal. After a quick Yelp search, we found this spot that was kinda on our way to McKinney (our main destination). A little Northeast of the airport, it wasn't too hard to find and get parking here in the plaza. We came pretty early so it was empty and we were seated pretty quickly. We saw they had the Kyoto Match IPA (one of my favs), so we each ordered one. We lucked out because they were actually some of the last ones they had in stock. My friend and I each got the Pearl Ramen, which has vegetable broth, grilled pork, onion, bamboo shoots, seasoned egg, and RAKKAN noodles. We were both in between this and the Amber Ramen but heard the Pearl was lighter, so we opted for that. The food came out at lightning speed, which we both were thankful for, since we were starving after our trip, and the food was pretty good. It isn't the best ramen I've had, but the flavors were there and the noodles were a great consistency. The matcha IPA and ramen were a great combo. There was a lot of seating inside and it would've even been nice to enjoy the meal outside as it wasn't too hot this day. I would've loved if they raised the little "garage" door so we could eat inside but also technically enjoy the weather outdoors. Not sure if they're able to do that but it would've been a nice touch. Overall, a good spot to get your noodle & matcha IPA fix! read more

The location of this restaurant is great. Parking can get tricky but lots of street parking is available. Evenings and weekends can get busy. The restaurant has a casual atmosphere. Service was fast and efficient. Food arrived within a few minutes of ordering. We ordered a couple of appetizers along with a rice bowl & the spicy quartz ramen bowl. The flavors were average and the spice levels were not up to the mark. Overall, food receives only 3 stars. There are definitely better places for really good ramen. The menu carried beer and soft drinks. Pricing : Moderare high! Will I return? : Maybe. read more

My two biggest gripes were that the egg in the ramen was not prepared properly and they skimped on the cut of meat so bad. It seemed like low quality pork as well as an extremely thin slice. I don't like to be a hater but this place was very low quality/effort. JINYA ramen is 5x better, please if your a ramen lover go elsewhere. read more

The gyozas were there best thing they had, the sushi was alright, but they are a ramen spot. How is everything else good except the ramen? I didn't like my food and they refused to take it off the bill. Sadly disappointed. read more

The restaurant is really cute & has booths large enough to seat 6 people together. I had lunch at Rakkan Ramen w/a friend who is not really a fan of ramen so I felt bad but I was craving ramen.

Everyone order different flavor ramens & we all walked out completely satisfied. My friend now likes ramen - woo hoo! read more

Disclaimer: I ordered via DoorDash First time trying Rakkan Ramen and I was excited to finally experience their food. I totally appreciate that this restaurant offers so many vegetarian options! It is difficult finding ramen that is not pork based. I recently had dental surgery, so I say that I am on a geriatric diet, meaning soft foods. When I saw Rakkan as an option on DD, I knew it was the right time to try it. I ordered the vegan bun, veggie gyoza and Vegan Garnet ramen. I must confess, I am a mushroom fanatic. I could eat mushrooms for every meal and I have never met one that I didn't like. The vegan bun was full of umami mushrooms, which were delicious. Unfortunately, the bun was falling apart and I had to eat it with a fork. The bun was mushy- bummer. The veggie gyozas were tasty, but the best part was the dip for them. I have never had gyoza sauce that was that tasty-- I could drink the stuff! The ramen... what a disappointment. I really thought that since it contained the same mushrooms as the bun, that it would be delicious. Sadly, it was boring and lacked so much flavor. Plus, the serving was shockingly small for the high price. With tax and tip, the meal was $39. Thirty nine dollars for one person! I mean, at a fine dining establishment I would expect this. At a ramen eatery, no. What a bummer. read more

I've eaten a lot of ramen and am surprised by how terrible it was and even more so that it's so well reviewed. My partner and I ordered the Pearl & Quartz ramen. The Pearl just tasted like a store bought clear soup. The Quartz was unbalanced, lacking in depth of flavor and watery instead of creamy like it was advertised - the toppings also didn't make sense. The eggs were hard boiled in both. The chili oil offered on the table is overpowered with sesame oil and doesn't do the ramen any favors. The service was also lacking as the hosts/servers were not the most attentive. I had to go find someone so we could get our check to leave and we never got napkins. The only thing going for this place is the location, as it's tucked in The Sound which is a lovely walkable area in Cypress Waters. Do not let the pictures and positive reviews fool you!! There is no care being taken to provide a good experience or even decent food. Save your money and time and go to a worthy ramen spot. Charging nearly $20 per bowl of whatever it is they're serving and trying to pass off as ramen should be considered theft. Anyone giving a positive review needs to expand their palate and raise their standards. read more

My partner and I decided to have dinner here after visiting the Light Park in Arlington. We arrived around 9 and were able to walk right in. We were greeted by a nice lady who took us to a table in the back near the windows. The place is cozy with several standard table tops, booths and a small counter type area as well. Wood decor throughout and the coolest Japanese Whiskey display wall. A few minutes after being seated, another friendly lady came to take our order. For starters, we ordered beef gyoza, one chicken bao bun, one pork bao bun and warm Brussels sprout salad. ALL of the apps were outstanding! Fresh, flavorful and perfect portions. We also order a whisky highball and vodka hibiscus highball which were both perfectly balanced. For entrees, I ordered the Spicy Garnet Ramen sub bamboo shoots for corn and omit the boiled egg. My partner ordered the Spicy Quartz sub bamboo shoots for corn. The ramen was good..great size, temperature and very fresh. However, it was a bit lacking in flavor department and seemed to be missing that deep umami flavor. However, all in all, I'll definitely visit Rakkan again! read more

After reading thru all the reviews, I wasn't really sure what to expect... bland... salty... warm, not hot... bad service... etc. etc. etc. But in general I was pleased with my ramen choice: Spicy Garnet (miso) w/pork. The spice level was fine, not too salty, but perhaps a little strong on the garlic which stayed with me for a long time! I've had double black garlic ramen elsewhere that included nearly ten whole roasted garlic cloves that didn't stick with me afterwards like this one! I am assuming since the broths (even in the non-vegan options) are plant / vegetable based, that is what may make some question the taste compared to other places. If I had to choose between these quickly-made plant-based broths and those with the slow-cooked bones / meat, I'd choose the latter. But for those needing a good, vegan option these definitely fit the bill. Personally (without going into detail!) my digestive system seems to favor the meat-based broths, too! Service from Bella was fantastic. Atmosphere is nice with a potential view of the small lake depending on where you're seated. Outdoor dining is also an option. I'd return, mostly because it's the best local (to Irving) option I've found for ramen. I think better options exist elsewhere around DFW. read more

Rakkan ramen is frakkan good!!! Wow, I have never ever had plant base ramen soup base that has as much flavor as Rakken! I have had Tonkotsu ramen in Fukuoka, everywhere in Japan, Ippudo, Ichiran, and bunch in California and I have to say, wow, I thought a plant base broth ramen would be a compromise on the taste for healthy but boy was I wrong, and boy was I glad I was wrong! I got the Garnet Ramen, which was their miso base. Their broth has so much umami and flavor that I thought I was eating a Tonkotsu base without the fat! The broth is so rich and while I was eating, I really couldn't believe it's not bone based! Their ramen is also cooked al dente, so good, and their pork chasu is so delicious! Perfectly charred and the cut is thick enough for that satisfying bites! They gave plenty of bamboo and their chili oil paste is pretty spicy! I also got their combo with pork gyoza. They deep fried their gyoza here, which I wish they didnt, but it was delicious! Overall, if you're in Dallas, YOU HAVE to check them out! They are so so good and I'm so happy I consumed half the calories of a perfect bowl fulled of flavor ramen!! I wish Rakken opens a store in LA or Orange County in California! read more

Going to a veggie/vegan broth ramen place with a bunch of carnivores was a bit intimidating but thankfully we were all pleasantly surprised by the amount of flavor packed into the food here! I really appreciated that the broth has plenty of flavor but didn't feel overly greasy or heavy like some tonkotsu broths are. The noodle and charsiu textures were also good. Takoyaki was well seasoned and had a great texture. Interior decor was modern and tasteful and I love that it's located in a nicer area of Coppell next to a small pond and other restaurants / walking areas. Our server was friendly and efficient. This place was a prime example of a veggie friendly place being also just plain delicious. Will definitely be back for more in the future! read more

When we heard about a new ramen shop opening nearby, we had to give it a try and we were pleasantly surprised. The interior was very sleek with plenty of tables and high chair seating. We called ahead to reserve for a large group and the host was very accommodating. It seemed like they were still working out the process and service was a bit hectic but the servers were very nice. The selection of food was very good with many choices; for ramen, they have 5 broths to choose from. The combo deal is a great to pair a ramen with an additional dish. For appetizers we got the brussels sprouts salad, pork gyoza, and spicy tuna bowl. The brussels sprouts was the highlight, fried perfectly and paired with two delicious dressings. The tuna bowl was ok, a bit too salty for my liking without much flavors. For ramen, we ordered the amber, pearl & garnet broths. The amber and pearl were fantastic; the soup was smooth and rich. We pretty much finished the entire bowl. The garnet was miso based and slightly on the saltier side. The pork was over cooked but they were very generous with the sides portions (lots of garlic, scallion & bamboo shoots). The noodle was very good, very tender and flavorful. Overall the ramens were prepped very well. This is definitely one of the better ramen spots and we would come back! Also, it's right by North Lake so the location is on point. Once they work out the kinks and they'll become one of the best! read more

I found out about Rakkan this weekend right before they had their grand opening and with it being so close to me I knew I wanted to try them out. I've been hoping for a great ramen place in my area and Rakkan definitely is the spot. The food was fantastic, I always order the specialty when I try a new restaurant so I decided to order the Amber Ramen. It was a Soy sauce based ramen and was absolutely delicious. The service was fantastic as well, our hostess walked us through the menu when we were seated. She let us know, to my surprise, that the ramen broth was indeed vegan/veggie friendly. When the soup arrived, it was absolutely tasty and filled with umami. I had a side order of Takoyaki as well, which was super yummy. read more
