I will always love this place. The food is worth the almost 2 hour drive every time and the ladies that work there are super sweet. I'd wait all day long for their food. Worth the drive, worth the time, worth the price.

Hidden gem. Ramen Ray is everything I had been looking for in a ramen shop. I have finally found my go to Ramen spot. It's a small and cozy restaurant run by two ladies. The decoration is warm. There was Jpop playing audibly but not loud enough to discourage conversation in the background, First Love by Utada Hikaru brought back a lot of past memories.
I asked the lady for a recommendation and she recommended the Miso or spicy Miso ramen if I like it very spicy. I ordered the spicy Miso ramen and it definitely has a kick to it. At my first spoonful of soup, I was shocked at how bland it was. My system was in shock because it was prepared for the salt shock it typically receives at ramen places. I really liked it because it was not so salty that I needed to add water to the bowl in order to drink the soup. With each additional spoonful of soup and bite of ramen, corn and chashu pork, I started tasting the subtle flavors that grew. It was a culinary masterpiece that needed to be patiently experienced until the very end. I was utterly satisfied. I will definitely be back to try the various appetizers, chicken paitan, pork shio, shoryu, tantan and tonkotsu ramen.
At $18.5 pretax and $23 total, with an appetizer it was over $30 so it was not a cheap meal but very enjoyable.

Best ramen I’ve had in Indy so far. I tried the black garlic tonkotsu ramen, and the broth was rich and flavorful. The chashu was tender, and all the toppings were solid. I added an egg topping—one half comes with the ramen, and the extra charge gives you an additional half. Price is on the higher side, but since there aren’t many good ramen spots in Indy, it feels justifiable. You order through a tablet, but the food is served to your table, and you don’t need to return your dishes afterward. I’d like to try the shio ramen next time.

I waited over 40 minutes for 1 bowl of ramen (no extra add ons) + 6 pcs gyoza despite the restaurant not being busy at all and not understaffed. I can confirm what a lot of others have stated. I would say the food is over priced (30+ dollars for my order) and not worth it. Gyoza did have a bit of a burnt taste and the spicy miso ramen was all spice and no miso taste. The spice overpowered everything else. The bowl also had a pretty small portion of noodles, majority of the bowl were toppings.
I've worked several years in the food service industry including a high volume ramen restaurant (over $10,000 in sales each day) and even while sometimes being understaffed, large orders were sent out within 17-18 minutes. There is no reason why it took over 40 minutes to receive my food (and other people too who were here before me).

No frills ramen spot. Gyoza was very good. Tonkotsu ramen is very rich. Black garlic has nice umami flavor. Oyako ramen was very flavorful. Noodles had a great bite to them. Reminded us of our trip to Japan.

The spicy miso ramen is average in taste. I likely will stick with tonkutso soup base.
Just yum!
