Karai Ramen Bistro

Great food but can never go back. Ordered online and the added buffed charges that did not appear when I ordered. Added a charge for popmenu? Also added a tip after I zeroed the tip out since I was taking it to go.

The food was phenomenal. Portion sizes were very generous which means a lot as I am I big guy I left satisfied. The menu being only on the phone can be a bit of a deterrent for the less tech savvy. Menu as presented does a great job of explaining options and the dishes themselves great variety too. I would highly recommend this place if your looking for a great ramen to enjoy.

Vegetarian options: There were veg options but nothing I would say to make a meal out of.

It's good. The broth for the Ramen could use more flavor. Good service, I recommend making reservations on busy nights, the place gets full really fast.

The music makes the already good food taste good. The Ube desert is made fresh and such a treat. And the staff is so friendly and welcoming. Please ask for Dat, Noon, Maxx.

Ask the owner Levi about what inspired him to open this amazing place - a cool story indeed.

I am very picky about Japanese ramen and this place didn’t disappoint me!! I have been going there since they opened. my japanese friends would drive one hour for this ramen shop? It’s a small restaurant - but food is amazing!
Kid’s ramen ( without any toppings) is also available. Worth the drive! You MUST try !

Parking: Outside seating is also available

New to Jax and we've tried a handful of ramen joints already. By far this is the best yet. Fully developed broth flavor and just the right amount of toppings.
