#2 SPICY MISO RAMEN #3 NIKU-YAKI RAMEN
Rhonda C.

Solid 3/5 ramen spot in the area. My friend and I stopped in to try on a Friday night and had no issues getting seated or getting service. Things I enjoyed: - service was great! No complaints at all - the ambiance is pretty cool and what one would expect from a ramen restaurant (good music, moody aesthetics, etc) - wasn't super crowded and food came out quickly. As a ramen enthusiast, I wasn't super impressed with the spicy miso ramen. The pork was flavorful and the noodles seemed fresh, but I wish some of the other ingredients had more depth to their flavors. Would I stop back in...maybe. Would be interested to try some of the other items on the menu.

My leftovers for later!

I had the shrimp tempora donburi. Very flavourful and delicious. Shrimp done right, the rice was seasoned perfectly and the vegetables were crisp and delicious

#6 CHICKEN RAMEN
Jessica R.

I've been to Rakuichi Ramen with friends a couple of times now, and it isn't a hard place to enjoy. It lacks that oomph to put it in a five-star category, but most of the dishes easily satisfied me more than your average takeout. There are a few ramen specials that stand out, like the niku-yaki and kimchi ramens. Those were also pretty good, but I think the broth could stand to have more flavor. Lots of the flavor from the niku-yaki came from the meat, and the chicken ramen I had was bland in comparison because it DIDN'T have any sauce. Many of the crispy chicken dishes are covered with these teriyaki-ish and special (creamy orange) sauces, which add plenty of flavor but make me feel like I'm eating something out of a ShopRite pre-made Asian foods section. It's barely ever crowded when I go, and the service is pretty prompt. Never had an issue with the place so far. I'd give it a try if you're in the area, but I wouldn't make it a must-stop.

Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen - chashu pork belly, red chili pepper, black garlic oil and hot oil.
Josh S.

My review is based on the food only as my wife grabbed some takeout from Rakuichi; I have not been physically inside the restaurant. Knowing my affinity for ramen, pork and spicy food she grabbed me the Spicy Tonkotsu. The broth was served in a separate deli container which is great; this way everything didn't turn to mush on the drive home. Everything was arranged nicely in a separate bowl and looked great. The ramen is a curly noodle with is typically served with a thicker broth such as tonkotsu. The do put corn in this ramen, I'm personally not a fan although I know it is very common in the northern parts of Japan. This is where my wife loses a star in the rating not the restaurant, the corn is in the description so it can easily be made without. Anyways, the deli container the broth is served in is a pint, at first glance it seemed like a lot. After pouring maybe half of the container on I confirmed my suspicions. Either more noodles or less broth, in this case I would say less broth. The broth looked good, a milky white color, but the flavor was lacking. After seasoning it a bit more I could taste the flavors of the tonkotsu but it still seemed one note. It did have a good kick of heat from the chili oil so I know my stomach is going to be thanking me later! The pork belly was decent, the noodles were fine, the bamboo shoots worked, but nothing really set it off as a "great" bowl of ramen. It wasn't bad by any means and I would have it again but not go out of my way for it.

We stopped here to get ramen and really enjoyed the food. It was empty when we walked in on a Saturday evening so I was a little nervous. However the service was great, we got our food quickly, and people trickled in as we were eating. We got the chasu ramen, kimchi beef ramen, and a custom ramen with crispy chicken (side), nori (side), corn, and seaweed wakame. I love it that they are very flexible and are willing to swap out some of the items from the set bowls (you can get a different vegetable if you don't like what is in there). They have the perfect ratio of toppings and noodles, which I appreciate because I hate it when places are stingy with toppings and you're just eating a bowl of noodles. The chasu was so good! They grill the pork right before so it is flavorful and caramelized. Everyone wanted more of the chasu. We tried the kimchi beef based on our server's recommendation. I am not typically a kimchi fan but the combination of flavors worked very well together. The chasu is better than the beef though. They were out of the niku-yaki ramen but that sounds good and something I'd like to try next time. Great spot or ramen! Would definitely go back next time I'm in the area!

#1. Chashu Ramen
Melony F.

Best ramen I've tried yet in the area. The pork was tender, flavorful, and thick cut. Noodles were fresh and great flavor. Broth was a little bland. I like depth and deep flavor in my ramen. It was a light and fresh! I didn't like the little kid plastic cup for water, devalued the ambiance and experience.

Chashu ramen

I heard this place recently opened and saw that they offered more authentic ramen that I've been craving. A lot of the other "ramen" choices are more like something that I can make at home. I got the chasu one with traditional tonkastsu broth. It was a little salty, but overall very delicious. I got it to go and was a little late so by the time I got home, the broth was a lukewarm. I was starving but I should've heated up the broth again, I'm sure it would've been even more delicious. I would love to return and try the other options. They have a build your own ramen but it is a little pricey after adding in a few toppings.

Great service, fast and friendly. Food is always made to order. Chill place to eat and great atmosphere! I frequently order from here! Best Ramen place in Montgomery county!

If you want a ramen fix, it's a good cost benefit. The bubba tee is pretty good as well.
