We're not necessarily ramen connoisseurs, however, we were disappointed with our experience here. There was absolutely no flavor in both our ramen bowls. Very disappointed with our meal. Will not be returning.

My family and I were so thrilled to finally find a location closer to our home. Unfortunately we will never go back. It is pretty common to substitute diferente types of noodles for different ramen dishes. Sometimes it’s a cost but whatever. My family and I dinned in the day before and got our order perfectly; the next day I asked for the same order and it’s suddenly a policy not to exchange noodles for different ramens. No explanation that’s just it. Well, whatever, I will take my business else where and make sure to let my friends and family know their about their policy. Makes sense why it is 4.3 stars. It’s managed by a bunch of kids.

All show, no substance. The good:The atmosphere provides a coffee shop vibe complete with lofi music. We went for lunch and sat in an area that has skylights and large windows, which was pleasant. The service was good. Our server was very nice and helpful. A nearby server deftly dealt with patrons who kept asking stupid questions about MSG. We had our baby with us and asked if we could order the cucumber salad with everything on the side so our kid could munch on the plain cucumber. They happily obliged.The bad: I ordered the tonkotsu ramen, $18, and my wife the miso ramen, $16, and made it spicy, $4 extra. The presentation was good — there are plenty of pictures on here that show that. The ramen was bad. Mine wasn’t even hot. The ramen egg was cold, obviously straight from the fridge into lukewarm broth. It wasn’t busy, maybe 20% occupied, so it’s not like they were rushed. The noodles had a waxy consistency. The pork slice was good. The noodles in my wife’s bowl had the crinkled appearance of cooked dried noodles from a package. $1 Nongshim noodles are better; add a clove of garlic and poach an egg halfway through cooking the noodles. Fry up bacon to add if you feel like it. Way cheaper for mediocre ramen and at least it’d be hot.Kudos for bringing ramen to Doylestown, but I won’t be returning.Kid-friendliness: High chairs; room for strollers at some tables.

Ordered ramen and a drink online which cost $25 ? Hands down, worst ramen I ever ate. It was a small bowl of rubbery noodles, corn, two small slices of pork, and a ramen egg which was gross. Scallions were included in a little container.The Kamaboko was a flavorless afterthought. That was it... for a whopping $17. At home I added chili oil and nori to make it better. To add insult to injury, you are required to tip at least 10 percent online; otherwise, you cannot check out. What a turn-off. If you want a BIG bowl of deliciousness, make your way to Phi Vietnamese Restaurant located in the Giant Shopping Center on Swamp Road. Order the Pho, and sit back and enjoy. They use the freshest ingredients, the portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. Super-yummy. You'll keep going back for more!

My husband and I came here on a Saturday evening since we were visiting the area. We live pretty far away and were excited to try Rakki Ramen out. Our server, Ryan, was wonderful despite there being some staffing issues. It was clear that him and his coworkers were busy serving as well as hosting. Unfortunately, we waited a ridiculous amount of time for our food. The appetizer took about 40 minutes, and our main dishes came out an hour and a half after we ordered. The food was okay, but not worth returning for and risk having to be put through that experience again. Both of our ramen dishes were decent, but the noodles were undercooked.

Great place to eat! The food was excellent and worth the price. Our server Elana was super sweet and helpful! I have many allergies and she walked me through the menu! All in all a great experience.

Best ramen I've had in the area! Full of flavor, big portions and very nice staff. We tried Shoyu Chicken Ramen, Bao Buns, kalamari, udon, spicy miso ramen and it was absolutely delicious.
A very cute ramen house reminds me of restaurants in Kyoto, Japan. The food is high quality and delicious. We ordered Chashu rice and Donkazu ramen. Very creamy broth for the ramen, sweet sauce on the Chashu rice was super yummy!

The place was pretty empty, but it was in a cute neighborhood. The server was nice and the food came out pretty fast. I got the chashu rice bowl and it was flavorful. A nice portion size. Would try again.

I loved the interior of this place, lots of wood and great lighting made it feel cozy. $18 for a bowl of ramen which seems steep to me but I may be biased having been living in San Diego where Ramen is far more abundant. Broth was decent but unfortunately it was a bit cold when it got to my place. It also came with a single small piece of chashu. For the price I expected slightly more but overall pretty good.
Absolutely exquisite! Ryan was my waiter on this lovely winter night. Stunning service, immediately filled up my water bottle after ONLY a few sips. He must have known I was quite parched because that was an excellent act of professionalism. Top notch guy, I recommend Ryan (and the food too) to anyone in the doylestown area. And If you’re not, then why aren’t you? move here!

Amazing service. Shout out to a worker on Saturday night named Coen who offered us 2 cat color changing lamps and refilled our waters

Love this place! Cute atmosphere, the staff is awesome, and it’s kid friendly!! The food tasted delicious, especially the Bao Buns ? My daughter loved it there and thought she was cool eating with the spoon. We also had their House Tea (fresh lemon green tea) it was so refreshing! I’ll definitely be going back ?

Came here when they first opened and remember being slightly disappointed. Tried it again tonight, still stinks. I could smell the burntness of the edamame as soon as it was placed in front of me. I told the waitress I didn’t want it Bc it was burnt. She explained that it wasn’t burned they “char” it while cooking Bc it is frozen and they want the beans to soften. She offered me something in its place or a to go box. Which I didn’t understand. Was it going to be less burnt later? She was nice enough but don’t tell me it’s not burnt when I have two eyes and a nose. The miso ramen was gross. My 7yr old just kept saying the broth smelled and tasted disgusting. The dumpling were ok. Overall disappointing. They should be ashamed to serve something like that up and then not offer to remove it from the check. But also a bunch of kids running the place. An Loi Happy Bowl in Buckingham is much better and way cheaper!
