About Karai Ramen Bistro

Karai Ramen Bistro is a popular spot for delicious ramen and other Japanese dishes. The restaurant offers a variety of ramen options, including Tonkotsu and Soyu, with four levels of spiciness to choose from. The rich and flavorful broth is a highlight of the meal. The menu also features other Japanese favorites like gyoza and ube. For dessert, try one of the latest additions to the menu, such as the ube cheesecake. The staff is friendly, and the food arrives quickly in a welcoming atmosphere. The place has a Japanese ambiance, and the ramen choices are plentiful. The dessert is also delicious, and there's plenty of parking since it's located in a plaza. Although the restaurant is small and can get packed, it is very pleasant and perfect for a quick, satisfying meal. The ramen is outstanding, with some saying it is on a next level and very unusual in a good way. Be careful with spice levels; starting with 1 and adding more if needed is recommended. The Tonkotsu ramen with level 2 spice is praised for its flavor and tender meat. The chicken katsu curry is noted for its amazing flavor and great portion. Service is excellent, with leftovers boxed up and extra broth provided to take home. The owner and chef has learned his art in Japan, making the food authentically delicious. Karai Ramen Bistro is considered a great place to stop on the way home or for a nice meal out, with many recommending it as the top spot for ramen in Jacksonville.
