OMG! We love this place. It's a simple menu, but the flavors are rich and authentic. Honestly, not much more need be said about it. When we visit our son at Lehigh U, we have and will continue to eat here most of the time. read more

Ew. This place is bad bad bad ban it. Ordered 2 different noodle dishes miso and ramen. Broth and added veggies and meat were the worst. The spicy chicken appetizer was the only decent item. read more

Wonderful little place serving piping hot and delicious food. Especially unique for this part of town. Was a bit pricey, $15 and $17 for 2 ounces of protein, some veggies, noodles and broth .... but perhaps they'll come down a bit. read more

Rakkii Ramen - Some of the menu - Ramen Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Very nice and clean place. Food was very delicious! We ordered the gyoza and the chasu bun as starters and shared a chasu don dish before getting ramen. The chasu don was so delicious, the meat was so soft, it melted your mouth.. The tonkatsu ramen had a very rich broth, it was very good. I would definitely recommend. Ceara was our waitress, she was very attentive and provided excellent service. read more

Rakkii Ramen - Tonkastu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

LOVED THIS PLACE. came here all the time and this past time, I left cash on the table to pay. As I left the waitress with pink hair screams across the restaurant "YOU DIDN'T PAY". Never have I been so disappointed in customer service. So rude. Last time I'll be coming here. read more

Delicious! I went here back in November and they had lovely outdoor dining. We had the Pork Buns they were a perfect appetizer. I'd recommend any of their ramen or udon dishes. Oh! And dont forget to get bubble tea! read more

Rakkii Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

We love ramen and were very excited to finally have a chance to eat here. We arrived a few minutes early, but the staff said we could take a seat. The interior design is very modern/rustic and has very nice relaxing lighting. They were listening to AJJ when we entered, but then switched to some mellow triphop type music. We really liked the decor and ambiance, overall very relaxing and comfortable space. Ample seating available. They have smaller tables, booths, bar seating and a spot with a cushion L spaced bench. The space could easily accommodate larger parties of people. For food we ordered the karaage chicken as an appetizer, a tonkatsu ramen and a spicy ramen. All of the food was delicious! The chicken was so juicy and we loved it with the lemon and the dipping sauce was spicy and very flavorful. The tonkatsu ramen came with straight noodles that reminded me of soba noodles. The spicy miso had the wavy style noodles. Both were very good! We would definitely recommend this restaurant and will return! Service was amazing! Everyone was so polite and helpful! Keep up the outstanding work! read more

Go here. Eat 'noods. Be happy. Seriously great tasting food - I had the sukiyaki udon and it was fantastic. The soy dashi broth was nice and savory, the shaved beef was perfectly marinated, and the sweet mushrooms were like little landmines of flavor that just explode with every bite. I can't wait to go back here and eat again. read more

Very good ramen finally in Bethlehem! The atmosphere is chill but gets busy quick. Recommend the chicken wing as an appetizer. Their in house beverages are excellent. This may be a little picky, but their spoons are a little difficult to use - maybe I'm not using them correct! Who knows? Check it out for sure. It'll be interesting to compare with Mister Lees when it hits town. read more

The best Ramen near Rutgers. Spicy Miso ramen was excellent and not too spicy for sensitive pallets!! The service is impeccable as well and incredibly clean. I highly recommend having dinner or lunch here. The artwork on the walls is awesome too read more

The ramen had a great flavor, I wanted to keep eating - perfect meal to have during a rainy day! I recommend trying the veggie gyozas, the pan-seared side added a difference in texture. Overall, great flavor, amazing food, thoughtful packaging - definitely worth visiting. read more

3.5 stars but I bumped it up to 4 stars. My boyfriend and I got the Tonkotsu ramen and Spicy miso ramen respectively. The tonkotsu ramen was a little on the salty side and the spicy miso ramen was not as spicy as I thought but both the ramen tasted better than I expected- definitely way better than Mister Lee's Noodles in Easton. However, as a Japanese from an area famous for tonkotsu ramen, it was still a little bit disappointing that they would put things that are normally not in tonkotsu ramen like the narutomaki and menma (bamboo shoots). The presentation of the ramen was subpar as well- in Japanese food, presentation is very important. Also, the noren (fabric dividers) by the bathrooms had mistakes in the Japanese characters used. Yes, it is in Bethlehem so I shouldn't expect that much authenticity, but if Rakkii Ramen is trying to sell a decent authentic Japanese ramen experience at a higher price, I would expect better from them. Would I come back? Maybe but not anytime soon since I can easily go to nyc and get a bowl of decent ramen at a cheaper price. read more

So sorry there is no lesser rating than one star. Just drove in from New York and felt like Ramen but what I didn't know is that they don't serve colored folks here. When we walked in, the greeter deliberated before telling us we would have to wait for an hour for a seat. I looked around and noted there were several available seats and no one waiting to be seated. I also noted a few empty seats at the bar and asked if we could sit there. The greeter hesitated looked down at a sheet of paper and said no they are not available. I asked him if they took reservations and his response was no. I was quite confused at this point so as we walked to the car I called the restaurant and asked if they took reservations. The person on the phone said " no, just come on in we actually have a few seats available now" imagine my anger. Hey Rakkii Ramen you guys should just post it on the door that you do not serve everyone. Racist Racist Racist. I am actually from the islands and own a restaurant and a food manufacturing business in New Jersey and this was my first brush with this awful behavior. What perplexes me is that this seems to be a minority owned business. You must believe I will be posting this experience everywhere and might just be back with a large party including some of my Asian business associates and friends. Or i will just avoid you like the plague you are. read more

Really 3 1/2 stars which is based on take out experience. I went once around when they first opened and the experience wasn't that great. We were tucked in a corner and forgotten about for over 30 minutes before we even got our orders taken. Outside of that I decided to get take out from them because I figured I didn't have to deal with the service anymore. The food itself is alright. A little pricy but if you're in the mood for B / B+ grade ramen it'll do just fine. I've ordered from there twice and have gotten the same Miso Ramen both times. I think the one time they gave me the Spicy Miso Ramen by mistake which is fine because it's actually a lot better than the normal one and it's what I would recommend getting now. Their takeout ramen is in one very nifty bowl that keeps the other ingredients spectate from the broth which is nice. They seem have to taken serious precautions since the pandemic too which is reassuring. Overall, I would order it again when I'm in the mood for it. read more

Best Ramen place in the area. Don't come expecting the traditional kind, pretty much everything on the menu has been westernized. However, I haven't had a disappointing dish. The iced teas are also very tasty. If you have room for dessert, they are very creative and good. The interior decor is really cool and modern and the servers are nice. Only downside is the prices are a bit steep. read more

Rakkii Ramen - Matcha flavored desserts - Ramen Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

I had the opportunity to experience Rakkii Ramen this evening with family and friends, and enjoyed the soft opening. Our waiter Brian, and other servers, were extremely attentive to our meal, consistently checking in and making sure everything turned out alright. I would say, for a soft opening, it was very well done. The minor issues that we encountered (spicy miso could use some more heat, more developed flavor from the chashu buns, and the miso broth a little too salty to taste) could easily be overcome by a fully established restaurant. I will definitely be back when they are officially open and will certainly bring more friends and family to a new and exciting ramen place in the Lehigh Valley. I know this place can, and will achieve great things. read more

I have been waiting for... YEARS.... for a legitimate ramen restaurant to come to the Lehigh Valley. I was so hopeful for Rakkii Ramen. And... It did not disappoint. The food was EXCELLENT, the service was stellar and the random 90's music mix made the atmosphere nostalgic and fun. The menu isn't expansive but the items on the menu can easily hold their own. And let's face it: we'd rather have a restsurant that can do a few things quite well than many things sub-par. Make a reservation, to pass the wait by, and go. Get the gyoza and miso ramen (miso spicy if you enjoy heat). read more

Food always comes out fast and servers are always attentive, portions are hefty (and never fail to taste amazing) and the environment is always warm and comforting. I recommend this place to anyone that wants to try ramen or is an avid ramen fan! read more

A bowl of ramen is about $14, which is almost 1.5x the price of what you would find in Philly or any ramen place in a city, and the portion size per bowl is enough for a small child. So basically around 2x the cost of any other ramen place. They also don't accept reservations, so by the time you get there when they open, there's a long line. read more

We (starving out of towners) couldn't figure out where to eat and we stumbled upon this gem with a relaxed ambience and delicious dishes. Service was incredible. We ordered the calamari, vegetable gyoza, spicy miso ramen and fried chicken ramen along with the passion fruit tea and were super pleased. There was definitely no room left for dessert and as a late lunch we easily skipped dinner tonight. read more

I absolutely love this place! Amazing service, delicious food, and lovely scenery. Just a fabulous spot. While I truly enjoyed everything I tried, the lychee rose tea...... I'd drive an hour for that alone. AMAZING. I also really enjoyed the pork buns. My ONLY suggestion would be for the buns, I feel that if the vegetables were pickled, they would accompany the pork so much better. My husband and daughter and I cannot wait to go back! read more

We came early on a Friday evening before 6pm and there was already a line forming outside. Noodle houses are pretty common in large cities but now we in the Lehigh Valley have options! Both my husband and I had the spicy miso ramen and it was outstanding...not too hot but with a definite kick. Appetizers were the pork buns and an order of gyoza (dumplings) and they were also delicious! The decor is simple and attractive and although small, it's a pleasure to dine there. The service was also perfect...always there when you need them but not intrusive throughout the meal! We will definitely return! read more

This is the best ramen place in Bethlehem. This is incidently also the only ramen place in Bethlehem. However, it still offers a great dining experience. The ramen has a great thick rich broth, and the noodles have a fantastic clean texture. The atmosphere makes you feel like you're in a NYC Midtown restraunt, instead of godforsaken Bethlehem. The only complaint I would have is that the prices are also NYC prices, which is high in comparison to the other businesses in the area. read more

I just got the vegetable ramen and it hit my soul. This place is soooo Goood I'm not sure why it only gets 3.5 stars it is 100 percent 5 stars. I also LOVE their TOGO containers they are so practical it separates the noodles from the broth and you can eat everything together in the bowl. They even have ramen spoons to go! I live in Bethlehem and this is definitely the top #1 ramen in the area hands down. No one can compare read more

I really enjoyed my visit here. I'm happy to have a ramen restaurant so close to where I live. I look forward to seeing this place grow and I sincerely hopes it succeeds. The actual ramen was very tasty. Delicious broth, and I loved the black garlic oil. All the toppings were great. I enjoyed the noodles, however the broth itself wasn't very warm compared to other ramen I've had that is usually served piping hot. My friend got the chicken wings app that were the biggest wings we've ever seen. Unfortunately he did not enjoy them, but I did not taste them myself. We also had the Gyoza. Gyoza is probably one of my favorite foods on the planet. This gyoza was just OK. I say work on the recipe a bit for more flavor and not such a soft almost mushy texture. Try and get them to be crispy on one side. Cons aside, I will be back for the ramen itself. Make sure your staff knows the menu and what the ingredients are. My sever was very nice but wasn't too sure about certain things. Again, all is constructive criticism in hopes you do well! read more

I was very excited to hear there was a ramen place that opened in Bethlehem! I've been waffling on visiting and ordering for a while based upon reviews but I'm glad I tried it out when I had a craving! I got the shoyu ramen with an extra egg and rose lychee Japanese tea. The tea was absolutely amazing -- flavorful, not too sweet and you could easily taste the rose and lychee flavors without them battling for dominance. The shoyu broth is light, easy to drink and isn't overwhelming in flavor. The way they packed the ramen was awesome! They have a container that separates the noodles and broth so it doesn't get soggy during travel. The seasoned eggs were absolutely delicious, the noodle/broth ratio was satisfactory and the pork's flavoring complimented the light broth. My only critique is I wished there was a little more pork. Otherwise, 4/5 stars! Good job Rakkii Ramen! read more

This restaurant is an absolute treasure. We went at the urging of my ramen-obsessed son the day it had opened. The food is simply masterful. Every "slurp" of noodles and broth was amazing. The egg was perfectly jeweled and cooked. We've had ramen in Japan, and this is the kind of high quality ramen you would expect to have there. My son went as far to say that it was better than Japan - and we had a lot of ramen there! The decor is modern and beautiful. The service is VERY friendly and accommodating. We can't wait to go back for more! read more

Really cool environment and the food is delicious! I decided to go here alone while passing through the area and it wasn't even awkward with their Ramen bar style seating. To start off, I had their cashu buns. They were light and fluffy with a very well seasoned middle. Their dough reminded me of the prok buns I used to eat as a kid :). Then the spicy miso ramen came. Delicious. My favorite part was the soft boiled tea egg, so many places do not do this ingredient justice but Rakkii has it down! They fresh made ramen is some of the best ramen I have on the east coast. My only criticism is that the spicy miso wasn't that spicy (maybe a 2 out of 5). By far the best part of the meal was dessert: black sesame penna cotta. Best dessert I have had. Ever. The textures and flavors make me smile thinking about days later. It is definitely a must have. The wait staff was incredibly attentive, they must have refilled my half full glass of water 20 times without me ever even asking. Highly recommend :) read more

A friend and I checked this place out at lunch. The place was full at lunch which was the first good sign. After looking over the menu, we both settled on the spicy tonkotsu miso. Service was a little slow, but we had a lot to catch up on. In short, the ramen was very good, but not excellent. The bowl was solid, but the flavors weren't as vibrant as other places I've been in Philly or NYC. In addition, the service and followup was slow. I attribute this to the place being new and expect they will pick up their game. My only minor complaint was the price. Two bowls and 2 cokes were $40. That is steep for a lunch. Nonetheless, I plan to go back in a few weeks to see if they step up their game with experience. If so, I'll follow up the review with an update. On a separate note, several folks have mentioned this is the only ramen joint in the valley, that's not correct. I would compare Rakkii Ramen to Mister Lee's Noodles in the Easton market and think the two places are comparable in many regards although the Rakkii space is more hip and inviting. read more

I've never been one to think of ramen as a delicious meal, but I am now a believer. This ramen restaurant is absolutely fantastic with the most delicious ramen bowls. Beautifully presented and liquid gold broth, I'd recommend Rakki Ramen without hesitation. read more

We have been waiting for Ramen Rakkii to open ever since we heard news about it. Finally went to have dinner and everything was delicious. Bryan was our waiter and did a great job answering our questions, taking orders, supplying us with stemware for our wine (BYOB), and a lighter and dishes for my daughter's birthday cake. For starters we had the edamame - very tasty and addivtive, chasu bao - nice soft bun with a tasty piece of pork, tofu - delicious umami sauce with shitake and button mushrooms, and wings. I didn't try the wings so I won't comment on it. We then had the pork tonkatsu ramen - jammy eggs, tasty chasu, nicely seasoned bamboo shoots, very nice rich pork broth. Ramen was good but not al dente. My son had the spicy ramen and enjoyed it. It was a nice surprise when they brought out a yuzu cheesecake for my daughter even though we had brought a birthday cake. Like the food, the cheesecake was also very good and plated beautifully. We will definitely be back. read more

This place is relatively new but is amazing! I've been 3 times now, and have found the wait to be reasonable and the portions to be well worth the price. If you're looking for more traditional ramen than what Mr. Lee's offers, than this is for you! The ramen is not a fusion style like Mr. Lee's but offers excellent traditional style ramen as well as great appetizers. I would highly recommend the spicy ramen, as I prefer more spice. Will definitely return again! read more
