RAKIRAKI Ramen & Tsukemen

Hands down the best ramen I’ve had! Everything was delicious - we had the garlic spicy edamame, oxtail ramen, and spare-rib ramen. We asked for non-pork broths and were given two great alternatives that were perfectly paired with our ramen orders. The atmosphere and service were excellent. Highly recommend! Will definitely be back

Nice cozy place. Glad we were here while the crowd wasn't too busy. Have eaten their food before, but at their Convoy location. I had the tsukemen, rest of the family had the house ramen, and the karaage curry. Nothing special this time around, but could have been a one off.

Ordered the Gyudon and it was delicious, some of the best I've had. Pricey for the portion size but no debate on the quality. Not too busy at lunchtime so service was very prompt. The atmosphere is modern and stylish, which was executed well but not really my cup of tea.

Really solid tonkotsu ramen. My kids loves the gyoza as well. They are bigger than normal.

A rather small venue for a restaurant, they had about 20 customers when I arrived. I expected to be called from the wait list rather promptly. Instead we waited for a half hour, did not get contacted when a table became available, so we went in without invitation, but were seated thankfully.

Hereafter we were informed that only Ramen could be served and nothing else was available on the menu in case our group had anybody with dietary restrictions as the kitchen was ‘overwhelmed’. I hadn’t realized that it was overwhelming to serve a rather small venue. Two of our group members were elderly diabetics, so ramen and noodles were no an option. Instead I phoned the Mira Mesa location to be informed that they have space and are serving everything on the menu.

I’ve had fantastic experiences at the Raki Raki’s I’ve been to, specifically the Kearny Mesa and Mira Mesa locations. They have a reputation for serving great food and quickly.

I don’t expect this branch to find success, perhaps because of it’s tucked away location, however more so because of the limited space they have available for a smaller group of customers that they seem incapable of serving. Poor form for an otherwise very successful franchise.

Fresh off LAX, Brother Jesse took me for some late lunch—and Rakiraki did not disappoint on flavor! 🍜🔥 The ramen was rich and flavorful, the takoyaki was on point, and the ted edition ramen with underbelly bowl was a visual (and tasty) feast!

The only thing missing? A bit more warmth from the staff. A friendly smile can go a long way in making great food feel even better. Hoping for more cheerful service next time around.😊

Wow the ramen here is so delicious! My husband and I got the Yokohama shoyu and the tonkotsu ramen, which were good. The broth of both is super flavorful and authentic. Restaurant is nice and modern, but I’m taking one star off because we had to end our meal early after a huge party came in with screaming kids and the servers couldn’t quiet them down. I will come back on a weekday instead

Good ramen and curry chicken. Service is real hit or miss. They lost my food order last time and waited too long before they told me. Need to staff better.

Employee seems solid pissed off with management. No smile, very rude and unprofessional. Very pricey ramen. Will try to avoid this place and instead opt for another ramen place who cares about customers.

Delicious food and good service. We will be back again for sure.

Amazing ramen! The spicy miso with underbelly is very spicy and so delicious! Gyoza was great, we got the regular and crispy and I could not pick a favorite.

They do not serve wine which is a bummer.. but the service was incredible!

It kind of tasted gross. Sorry. Too salty and garlic is too overpowering. Chashu smelled bad.

We just discovered this place and we loved it! I had the kimchee ramen and it was delicious! My boyfriend had the oxtail ramen and that was a loooot of food but also very tasty! Service was great too!
