Rai Rai Ken is delicious! Their Kara-age Curry Rice meal is absolutely dynamite and is a dish I will definitely continue dreaming about until I make my way back there for more! Their Kara-age is hands down the best I’ve ever had. It is fried to crispy perfection and you can tell that quality cuts of chicken are used because of how tender it is. You can literally cut into it with a spoon despite the wonderful golden coating. Rai Rai Ken’s curry sauce is something special also! It’s got a decent level of spice and is truly what dreams are made of, especially on super cold days. The Mabo Ramen is wonderful too if you love a bit of spice but ramen is more your speed. I can’t wait to visit them again.

Authentic Japanese ramen shop. Cozy, perfect for a dinner date or a quick bite. Many seamless and grubhub customers in the nabe frequent this spot. Having lived in Japan for almost 4 years during my youth, I can attest that this is fresh abs authentic fare. Try anything, really, you won't be disappointed

Such a hidden gem! I went Friday evening and was able to get a seat with my girlfriend. She's not a ramen person, but enjoyed the meal regardless! It was very flavorful. Food arrived very quickly and the prices are really good too.

I’ve been eating here for years and I’m so glad they’re open again post-Covid. Great noodle dishes, well priced, and delicious gyozas, in an intimate casual setting. The staff is friendly and unobtrusive. A perfect thrifty Sunday night comfort meal. Have the miso bowl, it’s basic, and delicious.
