Parking: Very tough to find parking unless you’re ADA there’s two areas in the shopping plaza to park atAmbience: Fast paceService: Our server only wasn’t too helpful. Only took our orders and never followed up during meal for drinks or anything. When I left my table to ask for chili they pointed to my server that only he can assist me even though the spice was right there in front of them. But I guess it could just be something with sanitation. I told my server and he said he’ll bring it to your table. A few minutes later he walks by with it and I signal at him and he just cut me off and says I’ll be with you later. Now that I’m done with my ramen he comes back and says how can I help you. I reminded him the chili and he just had a shock face and went to get the chili. Apparently he dropped it off at the wrong tableFood: I got the Kurobuta Ramen for the first time. I thought it was a bit blend. I also tried the kimchi ramen that was very flavorful.Military Discount: NoOverall: I come here about once or twice every other month and this was my worse service experience with them. The ramen is always great.
I ordered the bowl for around $17, the ramen soup is very strong flavored, in a good way. I'd say I think the food is worth the price. The inside of the restaurant is also cute and nice, and it's a pleasant experience to eat there. Although I have to mention that we ordered a sprite which never arrived.
This was our first time here and we were greeted at the door by the waitress and seated right away. After we received our drinks we had some questions the server helped us decide on the ramen we wanted to try. I had the Black Edition ramen and it had a very heavy garlic theme and was very good. My friend had the classic ramen with extra pork underbelly and it was also delicious.
The best Ramen in San Diego. Lots of options from the menu too. I recommend the sushi rolls, yes they seem simple but they make a great appetizer!
Kearny Mesa is known for their asian cuisine. Many ramen spots and Rakiraki is one of them. It's more of a Izakaya now than ramen spot. As the company has combine into the 4 lil restaurant in the same building. I wasn't eating on the ramen side but more on the sushi side venue.I ordered the Tsukemen, since it's the only spot around that serves it. Noodles was sticking to eat other. The broth wasn't as creamy which didn't stick well with the noodle. It was flavorful and strong. Slurpability was at a 5. The kaarage came from the JCK, next door, which is why they are combining the place. It was really juicy and well fried.In all, Rakiraki should be considered an Izakaya. I went back and tried their traditional Tonkotsu ramen and it was basically the same. Broth not to creamy/thick but rich in taste. Pork was on par and the takoyaki wasn't freshly made, can taste the fryer oil and a bit on the burnt side.It's basically in th heart of Convoy with plenty of restaurants around. I gave it 3 stars since its an average ramen spot. Nothing didnt give me a bad taste, just can be done a bit better. On to the next. Itadakimasu!
Leaving 4 stars because the dish my boyfriend got was unfortunately pretty bland! BUT the vegan ramen is SO SO good!! They have an entire vegan menu which had such creative food on it, I’ve never been to a ramen restaurant with such a huge option for vegans! I got the tantanmen ramen and my boyfriend got a teriyaki chicken bowl. Menu is a bit confusing, it seems as if surrounding restaurants all serve each other’s food? Our server didn’t explain it but there are a lot of options to pick from!
This place is popular. We came for a late lunch and ended up having dinner...But the food was definitely worth the wait especially when you are in good company and catching up, it almost felt like we didn't wait long. Except for the hungry bellies lolThe Oxtails were amazing!!! If you like beef definitely try it! So tender it just melted in your mouth.The Black Edition was so flavorful, I think it's better than the original. ?Everyone in our party enjoyed their choices.Would love to come back again.
It is a Great place, the ramen is really good it has a lot flavor and it is different, they have their own creations and is good. Service though, servers are friendly, but we went for dinner and it took 40 min wait list, once we were inside 10 min for servers to take our orders, and once we take it it took 45 min more to get it to the table, and the appetizers we asked were incomplete.So the problem is management I guess, if you don't have enough personnel don't have that many tables!Anyways is good but don't go if really starving.
This place is great as always, but now compared to then was a bit unpleasant and disappointing ?. Not because of the food, but mainly service. From the time we got in, ordered our drinks and food, and plates were put in front of us it was a staggering 2 1/2 hr wait ?. The only reason I stayed was because I was showing it off to family from out of town and the food is actually worth it! It just sucks because despite the place being even more popular now, they're also suffering from the shortage of workers ? in the restaurant industry so it was understandable, but certain things still could've been done better to put people more at ease...aside from that great dining experience‼️
We ate lunch here last Friday. It was busy and there was over 20 min wait. We were starving and went to get boba drinks & appetizers at Tapioca Express next door. We enjoyed our ramen soups. The broth is delicious. Their menu is on the pricey side.
