Chicken
Margarita R.

Rayaki is a chain restaurant that I've tried in Philly and this location was no different. Everything from our appetizers to our ramen was delicious and fresh. I ordered a chicken katsu as a side and it was also perfect. A nice sized thin chicken breast with a great crunch. This location is smaller than the Philly location but thankfully that doesn't mean much. It still has fun art along the walls and the same quality of food. The service was just enough and ok but not the best.

Shoyu Ramen

Love this place. My boyfriend and I frequently go for the delicious ramen. I always get the regular one, while he gets the seafood or shrimp one. It's a nice cozy location and we haven't had to wait for a table which is nice. The staff is friendly as well. They do have these delicious teas as well, which I always get because it's good. I believe I got the green tea or lemonade one and they were very refreshing. I will definitely be going back.

Not bad but not great. We tried the curry ramen, the vegetable ramen, and the salmon ramen all for takeout. The packaging was good with the broth in a separate containers. However, all three broths fell a bit flat and not very flavorful. The mushrooms in the vegetable ramen were overly chewy. I also don't think the noodles are made in house as they lacked that al dente fresh noodle flavor I've had at some of the top ramen places I've eaten at. I had high expectations based on all of the glowing reviews and unfortunately they did not earn one more from me today.

Takoyaki Fries

I've had my fair share of ramen places and this was disappointing. My friend and I both got the Black Garlic Ramen, the broth was bland. It did not have the umami flavor from the black garlic. The cha shu this restaurant uses is lean so it was tough and a bit dry. My other friend got the spicy miso ramen which was also bland. She ate a few bites and said she didn't like it. All three of us did not end up finishing our ramens. We also ordered the rayaki fries which had spicy mayo and garlic aioli drizzled on top. The fries on the bottom did not have any sauce therefore we asked if we would get more spicy Mayo- they charge $1 for a side of it. They should have drizzled more mayo on it in the first place. We all liked our iced teas and greens teas. Passion fruit iced tea was my favorite.

Seafood Ramen specifically Salmon.

If you are an anime fanatic, you need to be here! Before I get to the food the ambience dope and relaxing, the artwork on the walls, amazing and even the TV had on anime. This place is beautiful and so clean. When you walk in the gentleman who seats you is so chill and they give you the menu immediately and allow you time to look on the front and back, no rushing at all. They have sooo many different ramen dishes, bubble teas, lemonades, teas, and food variety is awesome. Food came out so quickly and everything was sooooo fresh and flavorful. I don't like eggs in my ramen but even they were flavorful. I went here for my bday lunch and I wouldn't mind going any time but on a Sunday was so calm and the vibe was phenomenal. If you are looking for a chill, delicious, comfortable, and just amazing restaurant. Rayaki is the place!

First time but definitely won't be my last. I had the seafood soup which had shrimp, scallops, mussels and another fish. The broth was very tasty and full of noodles. Extremely hearty and filling.

This place is great, I always come here with my friends and we have a great time. The rayaki fries are probably the best fries I have ever had in my life and the ramen is pretty good. They have an endless list of delicious drinks and appetizers that taste amazing. The staff is great always checking in and refilling your drink they are always so kind and the wall art and a tv playing different animes compliment the atmosphere very well.

Food was excellent, service also great! New fav ramen spot! Ambiance was lovely also!

Takeout ramen

The interior here is very cute with anime on the walls. Perfect fir a casual spot to grab ramen. The ramen is amazing here. Full of flavor. I love the miso ramen and the black garlic ramen-both are flavorful without being over-powering or too salty.

I wanted yakitori and this place has it so I was excited to try it. The price for each item for the yakitori is a bit pricey. I got the fish cake, squid, wings, steak, sausages, etc. Overall, the yakitori was ok. I also got the fried squid as an appetizer and I liked it the most. For ramen, I got the black garlic ramen. The ramen was ok. I had better. As for the rice dish, I got the gyudon. It was decent as well. Overall, the food was ok. The service was good.

Steak ramen
Heather L.

I've been to three different locations - cherry hill, glassboro and NE Philly. I like that they are consistent at all locations and you know exactly what you are going to get whether it's curry, teriyaki or ramen. Don't have a photo of the curry but it was pretty good and curry was flavorful. The teriyaki was probably my least favorite as I found the chicken a little dry or possibly just over cooked, ramen is good whether it's pork or steak and noodles are good as well. Skewers are tasty and there's a variety and the rayaki fries are also tasty and good to share.

Deb A.

Ramen was very good, I would return here the next time I'm in the area. The noodle's Al dente, there were at least 4 pieces of pork belly. I didn't like the eggs, seems like it's been peeled and soaked in soy sauce. The broth has rich umami flavor. Best of all, it was served piping hot!

Came for HH after seeing what a large variety they had on the menu for the 2 hour special. Few hits and more misses, but maybe I was expecting more traditional than a fusion take on Japanese cuisine. Great cocktails and good selection of drinks. Service was on point and friendly. The food was just okay sadly, though we only tried a few things as we weren't too hungry, a lot of them missed the mark. The mini spicy chirashi was decent, but unfortunately everything else we had was subpar. I may have a pretty high standard for sushi as I'm from NY so maybe I'm being a little too critical but they just didn't work for me, maybe I just didn't order the right things. Anyway it's just my opinion and what do I know, maybe find out for yourself if this place is worthy of all the high ratings. Stay hip mother suckers

Enoki and egg soup is my favorite appetizer. Light broth with umami and perfect saltiness. My second favorite appetizer is agedashi tofu. So silky like pudding with light teriyaki broth.

The sushi here is very special. The sushi rice is silky and moist. The fish piece is bigger than the rice. The eel is a must try here. It's very big compared to the rice underneath it.

(If you've never had it, it's a sweet squash and it's delicious and you should definitely try it!) We started with the salmon skin salad which was so unique! It has all our favorites! Salmon skin (obviously) kani, seaweed salad, and caviar. We got the sauce on the side because we were worried it would be too spicy, but it was delicious! It was still good that it was on the side so I could control how much I used. Next we shared the kampyo (or is it kanpyo? I can never remember) roll and a mackerel and tamago roll (not on the menu but they made a great one and you should try that too!) Finally we shared tofu teriyaki. They served SIX huge pieces of tofu (probably an entire brick of tofu) The sauce was delicious and it came with onions and veggies. If I had to nitpick, the veggies could be cut a little smaller but no complaints over all. We are taking most of the tofu home. The service was great. Our server was polite and professional. I didn't even have to ask for fresh plates between the sushi and the tofu. As for atmosphere, it's a little dark but they play great music (lots of '80's!). The music is soft and not obtrusive. We will definitely be back!

That is a perfect representation of what we experienced on Saturday night. We stopped in during Happy Hour. Most of the small plates were discounted and a few sushi rolls were as well. The house cocktail made with Midori liquor was a popular choice among customers. I forgot to snap pics but we started off with edamame and Spicy Tuna Rice Crisps. The rice crisps were amazing. 4 pieces per order and the crunch was so satisfying. Edamame was salted and warmed up just right. The veggie dragon roll was extremely flavorful and filling. The Sriracha made it spicy but not in an overpowering way. It was hard to believe the only thing inside were veggies - that's how excellent it was. We opted for no dessert, but I believe they have fried ice cream and mochi ice cream as options. It was too cold that day for ice cream, but I'd definitely be open to it during the warmer months. The seating layout and the art on the wall was such a hit, including the Snorlax directly behind us. He was so dang cute! Service was great and our server took wonderful care of us.

We were lucky to secure 2 seats via online reservation for the 2nd seating at 8pm. Arriving 5 minutes before opening, we were directed to have a seat at one of the surrounding tables. We watched both servers efficiently clean up after the first seating. Afterwards, we were shown our seats where Chef "K" arrived and quickly went to work. We watched this chef and the head chef/owner Sam create our first courses which were exquisite. Not only were they presented beautifully but were absolutely delicious as well. Next came the first courses of nigiri. Piece by piece, we watched in excitement and anticipation. Each piece was fresh, crafted perfectly with the right amount of perfectly seasoned sushi rice. Then came a break in between the first and second courses of nigiri with a seafood dashi soup which consists of scallops, tofu, seaweed and dashi. A warm and refreshing way to break up the nigiri courses. The second wave of nigiri came, and these were just as incredible as the first courses. We loved the fact the ones that came with a topping or sauce didn't take away from the natural taste of the fish, rather it enhanced it and elevated it. Finishing off our course with the signature uni bowl which consist of wagyu beef, scallops, salmon roe, Japanese Hokkaido sea urchin, yuzu jelly and squid ink foam. This was a wow-factor dish that blew us both away. Stunning presentation and tasted even better. Finally, for dessert a roasted green tea ice cream which just brings everything together. Some side notes, I loved the attention to detail from both chefs. They're right on it if they see your gari (pickled ginger) is low and will happily refill it. I loved the place wasn't too stiff and you're able to make small conversation with the chef. And the service was top notch and not overbearing.
