The Ramen is by far the best I've ever had, and have tried every one they have on the menu. Every one has its own depth of flavor that seems to get better with each bite.

Every time we move somewhere new, the first thing I do is look for a good Japanese restaurant. Unfortunately, there aren't any truly authentic ones here that are good (or I just haven't found one yet) but Raku at least serves decent sushi. It's not on their menu but they also have Takoyaki.

My…read morebest friend and I were on a road trip from Richmond, VA to Asheville and this was the halfway point. We were heading to AVL for my bachelorette and throughout the weekend we kept going "GOD THAT RAMEN WAS SO GOOD!" We came on a Wednesday evening. It took a little to get seated and service was on the slower side, but it was worth it. There was a lot of indoor seating and we were seated at a booth. They have mens and womens restrooms at this restaurant. And a lot of free parking out front in their parking lot. We started off with an Alaska roll as an appetizer. This was really delicious! We knew we were off to a great start. I got the black garlic ramen and my best friend got the red spicy oil ramen. We were in heaven. This ramen is beyond delicious. The rich garlicy broth of mine was perfection. Each element was so yummy. I would drive the 3.5 hours back just to get this ramen again. I highly recommend going.

I'm not someone who usually leaves reviews, but lately I've been feeling disappointed. Since the restaurant has gained more publicity and traction, I've noticed a decline in customer service. I'm no longer greeted when I walk in, and I'm told to place my order on an iPad that's confusing and difficult to navigate. The prices are already high, and being prompted to tip on top of that feels like a slap in the face. For a family owned restaurant. At the very least, I'd expect a basic level of customer service. If the ambiance were better and customers were made to feel more comfortable and welcomed, I wouldn't feel the need to write this review. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be back

The food is always piping hot, fresh and delicious. The habachi chicken bowl is my favorite. I always order it with crunchy spring rolls cooked perfectly every time.

They don't have to honor my request, but they happily oblige. The proprietor couldn't be nicer. Everyone is friendly, professional, and polite. When we crave Asian food, Eatabowl is the only choice! Thank you for all you do!

This place received excellent reviews and seemed star worthy, so we went. As soon as we walked in, the young ladies at the front were smiling, friendly and professional. But the food was not what I expected. Some sushi rolls didn't have much of a taste which seemed very odd to me. Then some were really good. Crab rangoons were literally nothing special, so wouldn't get those again. I am not sure if we would return. If we did, I would only try the Ramen next.

Finally, a local ramen place that reminds me of what I had in Tokyo. They have several combo options with fried gyoza, or drinks. Speaking of which, the fried gyoza are delicious.
