The parking lot can be a little tight/small if it’s during peak hours so just be aware of that. I came for lunch on a Friday afternoon and it was moderately crowded. Service was quick, the ramen amazingly flavorful. Each bite was better than the last. Perfect spot for a cold day!

Revisited Rai Rai Ramen. I haven't been there in years. It looks like they revamped their menu, but I could tell the crowd favorites were still there. I decided to try their Vegetarian Mapo Tofu Ramen, and I was not sure what it would be like, but it was exactly what I wanted on a cold day--warm, filling yet light, and all Noodles. The broth was thick and hearty. I am sure I had about half of it, and I packed up the rest but it filled a whole container.
Staff was also kind and attentive. Highly recommend!

The food is salty and meh flavor however what is the worse is the price for a mediocre food. Not to mention they automatically add the tip to the bill and the math does not math how is 3 soups and two bubble tea’s totals $70 is beyond my understanding. would not absolutely recommend !!!

📍 Rai Rai Ramen – North Brunswick, NJ 1980 NJ-27, North Brunswick Township, NJ 08902
We had lunch as a family of five at Rai Rai Ramen, hoping for a comforting, flavorful ramen experience — unfortunately, it didn’t quite meet expectations. We ordered two seafood ramen, one tan tan men, and one katsu ramen. While the bowls came out warm and visually appealing, the flavors were still overwhelmingly salty, even though we specifically requested low sodium. This was a major letdown, especially for those of us sensitive to heavy seasoning.
But what left a more sour taste was the lack of attentiveness from the staff. We had to flag someone down more than once just to ask for water refills and additional napkins. There wasn’t much of a welcoming or friendly attitude either — it felt rushed and impersonal, even though the restaurant wasn’t particularly busy.
What’s more surprising — and disappointing — was the automatic 18% gratuity added to our bill, even though we were a party of just five. There was no heads-up about this policy either, and with the level of service we received, it felt unjustified.
Unfortunately, Rai Rai Ramen didn’t live up to the hype. If you’re looking for good ramen with mindful service, this might not be the spot. 👎🍜

Food was delicious. Menu is confusing little bit but wide variety of items. Low key spot to grab a ramen on a rainy day.
Quick service, good portion. The spicy curry ramen was delicious. The curry flavor is better than what you would have over rice. I think it's because the flavor is in the broth. More protein than what I'm used to in other cities. Nice fatty chashu pieces. Would definitely return to try other ramen and dishes.

The food was great! The major issue I had was the added costs. Extra spice? More cost. Dual charge? Charge. Also, the final costs after the recommended amounts were actually less than when doing the math. This gave the impression that we were paying less than we actually were.

i ordered the spicy miso ramen through doordash and I wasn’t expecting it to totally make my entire week. The cha shu pork literally melted in my mouth and the broth was filling with the mushrooms offering a more delicate and satisfying texture and flavor to the dish. Overall this is the best ramen i’ve ever had. Life changing..
