    Baked Salmon
    Kathleen T.

    Visiting San Diego and was looking for a late night restaurant! The bulgogi bento box was pretty good and miso soup was solid. The baked salmon roll I wish it had more eel sauce because it was lacking flavor. Our server was super sweet!

    MISO ramen
    Aarti P.

    Really chill vibe. Quick service. Lots of options for food and drinks between Korean chicken, sushi, ramen, udon, beer, and sake. I got the miso ramen and the broth is wonderfully rich. Plenty of parking since it's tucked in a shopping plaza in Poway.

    I like the wooden decoration inside. The waitress is friendly and patient. Services are really fast. Combo lunch special is really good and worth your money. Tonkotsu ramen pair with Rice bowl or 1 roll of your choice is really good deal. I picked spicy tonkotsu with Bulgogi rice bowl. Love it !

    Bento

    I'm so happy we chose to go at here for dinner. The twinkle lights in the wooden doorway just set the mood right away and I loved looking around at the super cute decor with the bottles and cute figurines. This place was busy but not too crowded so I knew it would be good the moment I stepped inside. The tong box we got was amazing such a good bento box packed with a lot of great stuff delicious gyoza and bulgogi and I loved being able to swap out the California roll for a spicy tuna for a dollar extra totally worth it! I think this place does both sushi and traditional Korean really well and I can't wait to come back and try the ramen too! Their lunch specials look goood and are Monday through Friday 11:30am to 2 pm. I'm in love. What a fun cozy and cute place with delicious food! Seems like a really great place to take a small group of friends and there's enough variety on the menu for everyone to get something they like

    Chicken Katsu bento
    Alex R.

    Located in Poway. Closes at 10pm during the weekdays. That was one of the reasons we went there because it was one of the few places still open. Got the mixed tempura, bulgogi bento, and chicken katsu bento boxes. The vegetable tempura were very mushy. The shrimp pieces were fine. The chicken katsu was very dry. I did not like the miso sauce that came with the chicken. The bulgogi tasted fine. The Staff were friendly. Food came out quick. Inside was clean.

    Quaint ramen spot to check out! We got the tonkatsu ramen. It's flavorful and good. The service was fast and great. The spot is so nice and cozy. When we stepped in, it absolutely reminded me of Japan, so that was nice. We got the booth and at first I was reluctant to sit there, but once we got to seated, it was actually pretty cool. When spots opened up, they offered to move us, but I ended up preferring the cute booth. It is a smaller spot, so seating can be limited. We were there on a Friday night and it had a decent flow. I'd check it out again for other dish and definitely recommend this place to hit up.

    Garlic Edamame
    Deanne L.

    I really enjoyed the lunch special recently! For about $20, I got a big bowl of tasty ramen and filling bowl of poke and rice. I also got the garlic edamame as a starter. I really liked the flavor of everything I ordered. Good broth and texture of the noodles in the ramen. Poke bowl came with a lot of fish and was super marinated in sauce that had a nice small kick. Garlic edamame was flavorful. Service was exceptional from the waitress. Checked up me from time to time and was friendly. Left very satisfied

    Lemon Cilantro and XXX Roll
    Jenner B.

    Stopped in for a pick up order. Service was exceptional. They took my order with a quickness and they were so nice. I ordered 4 rolls for my family and I have to admit. They were all fresh and delicious. Nice rice to ingredient ratio. I really liked the ambiance. Clean with a comfy feel to it. I definitely have to bring the family in for dinner. Overall, I'm impressed. The menu has a large selection that I'm looking forward to try.

    Bulgulgi and tuna poke bowls
    Sharon B.

    Went with a friend for lunch and got their spicy tonkatsu ramen and bulgulgi bowl combo again. Price was increased to $19.99 now. I had the big bowl of ramen for lunch and took the bulgulgi rice bowl home for my dinner later that night. The spicy tonkatsu was really good. It wasn't too spicy and had a very rich creamy tonkatsu broth. Very yummy! The tonkotsu ramen and bulgulgi bowl combo consists of a full size bowl of ramen and a small bowl of rice with bulgulgi. The ramen was ok but service was great. Very friendly staff and our waitress was so attentive. She's friendly and took care of our party. We also got their bento box with chicken teriyaki. It was a lot of food and delicious too.

    Really cute Japanese place with online ordering and exceptionally friendly service. Looks like this is run by a nice Asian couple. We called and ordered a few items like the Baked Salmon Roll (our favorite and at a decent price for $14) and some bentos. We asked to sub the tuna rolls in the Bento with avocado rolls due to my husbands seafood allergy and they not only accommodated but also were extra thoughtful in marking other items like the miso soup that had dashi broth for us.

    Tonkatsu ramen - excellent!!
    Laura U.

    Their Tonkatsu Ramen is really something special! I'm rather a "broth snob" when it comes to ramen. This place has NAILED it! Rich & flavorful. My only complaint is that the waitress flirts with my husband & speaks to him only in Japanese. That's gonna stop.

    This place is hidden gem. We were shopping nearby, my kid / wife wanted to ramen/sushi. This place was nearby so decided to go for lunch. We had ramen and sushi. We absolutely loved it. There was one server in the afternoon but Service was amazing. We liked the ambiance. Overall, great experience !! We'll definitely visit again.

    Friendly tip for dining!

    This is a nice little Asian restaurant located in poway. I seem to always forget about this place and finally took the chance to review after eating yesterday night. There is plenty of parking and it is located in a shopping center. The inside is fairly small and I would not recommend for groups larger than 8 because only one table can seat a group of this size. All tables fit the typical four to a group, so keep this in mind for wanting to come for dinner for the chance that it may be a wait. ALL the food was delicious. Even the sides were super yummy! The soups were HUGE. The broth had such nice flavor for both the ramen and the udon. The soy sauce eggs are so yummy but I wish they were not cold. However, once placed in the ramen it does get warm. There is a lunch special from 11:30-2:00 which is a nice quick little meal. There is a huge selection of asian drinks/alcohol. There is a bathroom located in the restaurant and for the most part the workers are very quick to clean the tables. You can tell that there is a lot of online or phone orders due to the heavy display of to go containers visible at the registers. It seems that they separate the broth from the ramen toppings/noodles for to go orders. Servers were nice and you can definitely see that there is a decent amount of customers who dine here.

She ordered the Black Edition Ramen with chashu pork and corn added. I ordered the Miso Tonkotsu Ramen with chicken. We weren't particularly impressed with the service here. It felt like we were forgotten after we placed our order. Our ramen came out about 40 minutes later. My daughter enjoyed her ramen, but mine was extremely salty and the chicken tasted old. It did not taste fresh at all. I've been to the other Rakiraki locations in Convoy and Mira Mesa, definitely like those better. I didn't enjoy the food or service, and the ambiance was plain and ordinary. It was clean, but lacked personality. My daughter gave her ramen 4 stars. Mine was a 2 at best. We settled on an overall score of 3 stars and agreed this location was not worth a repeat visit. For reference, below is my rating scale: 5 - excellent 4 - good 3 - average 2 - below average/bad 1 - horrible

We ordered the lunch special -- tonkatsu with chicken karaage -- and a Sprite. The food was tasty and the portions were satisfying for a lunch combo. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which we appreciated. The only downside for me was the music that was playing. Some of the songs had inappropriate words, which isn't ideal when you're dining with young children. Other than that, it was a nice spot for lunch and we enjoyed the meal.

The quality of the rolls and the ramen (savory, rich, surprisingly complex flavors) were quite good as well. Only oddities were the addition of a somewhat chewy octopus in the sashimi combo which was not very good, and shishito peppers which were altogether too salty (although our waiter was very kind and replaced it for us free of charge) Only complaints are the misleading marketing (advertised as 50% off, but all the menus are printed with the "sale" price which makes you think it's just a marketing ploy), and even despite that it was still on the pricier side. Despite the bottom line, the food and service were still good enough that I would come back again!

But the real standout was the specialty roll (looks like their Baked Salmon Roll / Salmon Lover-style roll)--torched salmon over avocado with a slight smoky finish. That one had flavor and felt like the "order this again" roll. I went with the Beef Bolgogi--came out sizzling with onions, rice, salad, and miso soup. flavorful and good portion. If you're coming in hungry, this is the move. Service was smooth, food came out at a steady pace (important when you've got the whole family with you), and everything felt organized. Dessert sealed it--looked like a matcha tiramisu-style cake with whipped cream and strawberry drizzle. Light, not overly sweet, and a nice way to end the meal. Overall, solid spot where you can bring the family, order a mix of rolls and hot plates, and leave satisfied.
