    The food is pretty good and the staff are friendly. You can order via QR code or through your waitress which was convenient. It is smaller inside than expected, but it is nice, clean restaurant. Although the staff were friendly, it is worth noting that the service was pretty slow. A few of our items were missing originally.

    Chicken curry ramen
    Penny S.

    This little ramen house is still just as good a year later! Same friendly staff and the ramen is excellent. I tried the chicken curry ramen this time and I liked it just as well as the spicy creamy chicken ramen as I had last time. If you love ramen and live in the area, you don't need to go all the way to Portland to get it. Go here!

    Food 4.5/5 flavor profiles are legit; amount of meat to rice for currydon has room for improvement. Would like to see the addition of sauces and condiments to compliment the ramen and curry. Drinks are bottled; sweet tea was sparkling which was uncommon for us. Being from Hawai'i, the food was great in comparison, just wish there was more than 3 pieces of chicken and 1 pork cutlet (crispy pork). Service 5/5 friendly customer service and prompt delivery of food. Quaint restaurant that can seat about 25 people comfortably. Most definitely will be back.

    Spicy Miso (Pork)
    Atendra S.

    The service alone was 10/10...our waitress was so sweet and excited to help us since it was both our first time. She walked us through all the ordering options and was super accommodating. We ordered the pork bun, but my friend doesn't eat pork, so she offered to substitute karaage chicken instead...which ended up being delicious. I got the Spicy Miso Ramen and my friend got the Spicy Creamy Chicken. Both were really flavorful and hit the spot (ramen overall 8/10). We also tried the Ume sparkling drink to finish, which was refreshing and unique. Great service, solid ramen, and definitely a place I'd come back to.

    Made it in right about the time they opened. They got pretty busy pretty quickly, but the service was spot on. Our croquettes came out a little slow but were delicious! The ramen was great and was plentiful enough to take home for seconds. Great value. Great vibe.

    This gem is located in what used to house BurgerIM, inside a small strip mall behind the Costco. When you sit down there are three ways to order. From the table via a QR code (order, pay, all of it right there, via a kiosk, or they do have the ability to order at the counter. I started off with Takoyaki, which came out after a few minutes. It was well battered, hot, and flavorful. The bonito shavings on top were smoky and delicious, and the sauce wasn't overly sweet. Plus the salted, pickled ginger was a wonderful addition to make it less heavy. My main dish was the Rakuzen Red ramen. It had a creamy pork based broth, with tender pork, black fungus, bamboo, and delicious noodles. It also had a bit of spicy oil which gave it a wonderful flavor. They also had Kirin Ichiban beer on draft, which was delightful and crisp. Overall the entire experience was top notch. Hands down the best ramen and service locally in the Vancouver area.

    We tried this place today and had great service. They accommodated my wheat sensitivity as well. The red Rakuzen was delicious.

    Ramen with Pork belly and black garlic soup based
    A C.

    Went there last week for a quick dinner Ordering is thru scanning using your phone..... We ordered a veggie noodle base soup and another one with pork belly with garlic based black soup. They were both very good taste and fresh made....no complaints Enjoyed it

    Rakuzen Black
    SANDRA R.

    We were craving Ramen and it was later in the evening. A quick Yelp search brought us here to Rakuzen. We were greeted and seated immediately and the staff were super friendly offering recommendations when asked and very kind and attentive. There are TVs playing above and one had anime going which my son recognized as a classic long running show. The menu was easy to read and choose from. They offer great food choices on the menu, but I see more options listed here on Yelp! The Chicken Karaage we devoured and I didn't grab a picture in time but so crispy and really good sauce! We went for the Rakuzen Black (my favorite, with black garlic oil) and the Rakuzen Red (my son likes spicy). The drink choices were great! I highly recommend the peach ginger green tea or the matcha blueberry lavender. They were so good we wanted to take some home with us to enjoy!

    Rakuzen Crispy Pork Bun Donburi
    Angelica A.

    I can't believe that Crispy Pork Bun was down the street from me this whole time! My husband and I came in around 12:45 after a walk at Lacamas Lake. We've been watching Culinary Food Wars on Netflix and I've had this spot bookmarked for a long time. Not to mentioned - it's next door to the sweetest dental office! The inside is SUPER clean. They offer three ways to order (Kiosk, counter, QR code) and someone checked in on us frequently. I feel in love again today - me and that pork bun. So good!! Also loved the chicken Don Buri. They played relaxing music and it was nice and quaint. Greta flavors, great prices - can't wait to come back for more!

    Nice and clean. Despite the name being a ramen place, the ramen was alright. A good broth is key for a good ramen. However, the soup felt very two dimensional ( I've had worst.. so not one dimensional ) . It was not as flavorful, but the ramen eggs were better than expected. The egg was gooey, sweet and savory. Everything was okay. Not great but passable. We've got the red ramen and the curry chicken ramen. The red ramen came with 3 pieces of pork chasu. They were definitely on the smaller side, but were ok. The noodles almost tasted like instant noodles- not great. The curry chicken ramen tasted watery. The broth did not have a lot flavor. This ramen comes with "chicken chasu" which was a bit dry and not common for a ramen place. All in all, not bad. It definitely gives me the vibes of a "wannabe authentic Japanese restaurant". It may be a 3.5/4 if you go in expecting not an authentic Japanese cuisine. Service was great though, no complaints! However we were the only party that dined in.

    I came here late afternoon to try their ramen, I've heard a bit about this place. There is good amount of parking since it's right next to a Costco. Surprisingly, when I arrived here at around 4pm, most of the tables were filled. This restaurant isn't super big, but has a decent amount of seats. I also didn't think most folks eat ramen this early for dinner, but anyways there was one wait staff and what looked like two folks in the kitchen. I saw that food came out pretty quickly. However, when I got in, I was told to take a seat and I didn't realize to place an order I had to scan a QR code. Anyways, they have a kiosk, you can go up to the front or order via QR code. I got their Chicken Karaage which let you choose spicy mayo or regular mayo. I choose the regular one. The karaage came out piping hot and crispy. I do wish I had a wedge of lemon to squeeze lemon juice on top rather than a thin round slice... the karaage was moist and they use dark meat. They are pretty big in size for 4 pieces too. I also got their Rakuzen Black ramen which was on the recommendation list on the menu. It came with a good amount of noodles, lots of corn, black fungus, bamboo shoots, chashu and half a seasoned egg. The broth itself was mediocre for me, didn't have the richness of a tonkotsu broth but maybe that's why they put its pork & chicken broth on the description. When getting ramen I care a lot about the broth and it wasn't special. Considering the Camas/Vancouver area doesn't have many ramen spots, this is a good start. The chashu pork for me was dry even though I tried to rehydrate it with the ramen broth. They do give lots of chashu pork for the ramen which I appreciate, just the pork needs a little bit more fattiness. The half seasoned egg was good, wish it came with a whole one. Overall, this place is okay. It's a nice spot to get ramen if you don't want to go to Portland. Food comes out quickly too, and good portion size for the price.

    Delicious miso ramen with pork slices. Check out Rakuzen Ramen House for a variety of ramen, gyoza and tonkatsu. Right here in Washington, you'll enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine .

The new renovation definitely feels more elevated, and honestly Vancouver needs more spots like this where you can enjoy a nicer atmosphere without having to drive into Portland. Service was great, staff was professional, attentive, and overall gave off a good vibe. It actually felt like they enjoy working there, which makes a difference. I did read on their webpage that they aim to bring authentic Japanese and Korean food. Personally, wouldn't consider it fully authentic, especially if you've traveled to Japan or the mainland, you'll notice the difference. The food leans more toward American style Japanese/Korean cuisine. That being said, the food was still good and satisfying. Not authentic, but enjoyable. We would come back and are interested in trying more items on the menu. I'll update my review if anything changes.

It strikes perfect notes of toasty heat and creamy umami tonkatsu broth. It's a complex, bold, yet balanced bowl. The noodles are delicious - some sweet mushrooms add a spike to the flavor profile, as if sake marinated. My partner got the Cho-Maz, a beautiful bowl of hearty noodles with a perfectly poached egg on top. The chorizo flavor is incredible and unique to Baka Umai, with a mouth-watering heat! We've had the chicken karaage on our first visit which was just perfect. This time we opted for the Crispy Ota Tofu which didn't disappoint! They were about as crispy as the karaage, and a perfect light appetizer to accompany our bowls. Beer and sake selections are always on point. The service is welcoming, straightforward, and casual. Love the ambiance, especially on a busy evening when the pop music is blasting. 10/10 spot, highly recommended! Get menus and order at counter, seat yourself.

Parking along the busy street or nearby off streets between the housing. Let's start with what was great: The staff was very friendly, attentive and quickly sat us down with booster and high chair. Drinks (IPA and a Calpico) came out very quick as well as the Tabor tofu (3). The food was good. We had the Tabor tofu (kids enjoyed) and x2 Kaiyo Tsukemen. The dipping ramen came out with a nice jammy soft boiled egg and the noodles had a pretty good chew. The sauce was a bit thin but had that good seafood umami flavor. Pork belly was well portioned and had a light char. Overall, decent place to eat. Had to dock stars because out of the 4 items we were hoping to get for dinner, they did not have 3 available (fried Ota Tofu, Blistered Shishitos and Umami Mazemen). Maybe they were super busy early on but we were there around 6:45p so surprised menu items were not available. The staff was quick to apologize and worked quickly to get a 2nd Kaiyo Tsukemen out for us when the Umami Mazemen was not available. Wish we could've tried those dishes as I think it would've been a better complete meal. Kids still enjoyed it and our plates were empty so food was still good. Good amount of seating inside, utensils and water are self serve and looks like it could be a fun spot during summer months if they are able to roll up the garage doors!

The tziki provided a nice contrast with the spicy chicken. The hummus was nice with the soft pita. The thing that left me scratching my head was the vegetables they added to the rice. Yikes! It was frozen Chinese vegetables out of a bag warmed up over the rice. Complete with the mini corn cobs, pea pods and water chestnuts. The corn had a really off, weird taste. Ick. The rest of the veggies were limp and were not at all middle eastern. So PLEASE, if you're paying attention , Middle Eastern Grill, ditch those gross vegetables! Water chestnuts and baby corn are NOT Middle Eastern! If you want to improve your quality, add freshly sautéed onions and bell peppers. That would be sooooo much better. Or even a little salad and the seasoned rice. I tried the Dubai chocolate cake and it was pretty good. I probably won't get it again but it was nice. The guy said they get it from a food service so they don't make it themselves. So for those of you considering Middle Eastern Grill, do it. Maybe ask if they can leave off the Chinese vegetables. I don't think every dish comes with them.
