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.

Vegetarian options: Did not have any seafood options on the menu

Karai Ramen is a standout for authentic Japanese flavors! The warmth of their dishes is perfect for chilly days, making every bite comforting and satisfying. The rich broth and perfectly cooked noodles truly capture the essence of traditional ramen. If you're looking for a great dining experience, this place is definitely worth a visit!

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.

This is hands down best ramen spot I’ve ever been to. Friendly staff, awesome environment, great music. Food is beyond incredible, from the bowls always on the menu to the specials that are crafted up. Karai shows the true essence of ramen: art.

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.
