    Tempura
    Dave K.

    We ordered a bevy of food! Including Veggie Tempura, Croquettes, and Chicken Karaage. All super delicious. We also ordered Ramen and Beef Curry. They wet both delightful. Although not the best we would return for them.

    A new ramen place in the neighborhood! It's right next door to Relay's . Easy parking, The place can accommodate large groups and has outdoor seating too for weather appropriate time of the year! Service was good. A good variety of ramen to choose from. I'm not a huge ramen fan but I actually enjoyed the food. Their ramen soup was subtly flavorful, which I liked a lot! The kaki fry (fried oyster) was also very good. They had this cabbage salad side dish that didn't look it but was actually spicy! That was a surprise that I can do without.

    Raijin Ramen is the newest ramen place in town. I was a bit hesitant to try it at first because the pictures online weren't that appetizing. But, oh boy, I'm glad we did. The service was great. The staff were really nice, and the food came out fast. I ordered the Kara shoyu tonkotsu ramen. The soup is very flavorful, but it's not spicy, and the noodles are chewy. The okonomiyaki also has a perfect amount of sauce. Their donburi (not pictured) is the best I have ever had so far. The sauce is perfect; it's not very sweet or overwhelming. And the best part is the free ice cream at the end of our meal. We also like the ambiance inside. The pictures on the wall are very nice to look at.

    Yay! Lincoln is having a more diverse food option! We were excited to see Raijin pop up next to Raley's in the old Crazy Sushi location. We have been a fan of Ryujin and Raijin in their Sacramento locations. They're my place to go-to when I want my noodle fix. We ordered: Katsu Don-3/5 sad to say, it was over cooked. Miso-Tonkotsu-3/5 bland broth, they forgot the egg!? Ban Ban ji-peanut dressing was thick, needed to be diluted w/vinegar? 2/5 Geso-5/5 Croquette-4/5 Ambience is warm and cozy, our server was super attentive, reason why I'm giving Raijin 4/5 stars. There is some needed improvements as far as preparation. It isn't what we expected from the Ryujin/Raijin chain. Hoping it will get better since they are still in their opening phase. Hence why I'm giving them four stars!

    We've been here several times-- The food, service, and ambiance were all great as always.

    The food was exceptional, and the service was great. Everything tasted so authentic it honestly felt like I was back in Japan. I ordered the black garlic ramen, and it was absolutely incredible. The broth was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, with deep umami from the black garlic. Every bite was comforting and satisfying. We also had pickled veggies that was super yummy and a perfect way to start the meal. On top of that, the pork fried rice was a solid 10 out of 10. It was cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and easily one of the best I've had. Overall, an amazing experience from start to finish. I'll definitely be coming back

    We were craving some noodles and happen to see this place on Yelp! We walked in and were immediately seated. The place is so cute! So many decorations and a variety of booths and tables. We ordered some edamame to start and the spicy Kara Tonkotsu ramen. We waited maybe like 10 minutes and the ramen arrived. It was super flavorful, the broth was at the right temperature and they even give you a whole egg! Def would come back. OH, and they even offer free ice cream at the end!

    I had a wonderful lunch of Yaki Udon here yesterday. The whole experience from the warm welcome, charming decor, friendly service to the excellent meal made me know I would be coming back for more. The price of the meal -- about $15 -- was very reasonable. I am hoping the Yaki Udon will be on the menu when I return as it is truly delicious!

    Kara Miso Tonkotsu (Fantastic)

    The competition in the world of Ramen is strong in the area. Starting up a new Ramen House can be difficult. My brother and I love Ramen and make it a point to try out all of the new spots. Some houses stay on our list of favorites, while others fade into "the noodle abyss" never to be revisited. Tonight, we ate at Raijin Ramen and it didn't disappoint. We started the meal with some Gyoza (basically a pot sticker) and they were excellent. I got a bowl of Kara Miso Tonkotsu with some extra noodles and loved it. The broth was very tasty. I ate the entire bowl down to the last drop. My brother got the Tonkotsu Garlic Bowl and he said it was simply incredible. He also posted a review of his experience. The service was very fantastic and the ambiance excellent. Raijin served a hearty bowl of Ramen (size does matter) at a very reasonable price point. I'm a big eater and didn't go away hungry. You can also tell that the family owned business puts a great deal of pride and effort into making the customers experience positive. Their complementary cup of ice cream was a perfect ending to a great meal. Raijin Ramen did what was expected and more. We will definitely return for another great bowl in the near future. Please go out and support this local Ramen House. Your support will help insure that Raijin Ramen can keep their doors open well into the future.

    Food is tasty and good portions. Friendly service. Will definitely go back to try other items on their menu.

    Raijin Ramen in Lincoln is such a great addition to town. They've been open since August, but this was our first time going in--and it definitely won't be our last. Honestly, I already know we'll be back within the next couple of weeks. Henry was our server and he was awesome from the start. He welcomed us right away and was always around when we needed something without hovering. We ordered the gyoza (potstickers) to start, and they were a solid choice. For our main dishes, we both went with the Kara Miso Tonkotsu Ramen, and it did not disappoint. While we were waiting, Henry even brought out some sautéed veggies for us to snack on, which was such a nice and unexpected touch. After we finished eating, Henry brought over complimentary green tea ice cream, and it was the perfect way to end the meal--just the right amount of sweetness. We loved this place. I hear people in Lincoln all the time talking about wanting something new that isn't just pizza or Mexican food, and Raijin is exactly that. I really hope people give it a shot--it's absolutely worth it.

    Great ramen right in Lincoln. Had the kara shoju tonkatsu and it was great. Not super spicy but had a nice heat, broth was delicious and the pork was super tender. The egg was great. They hooked it up with free ice cream at the end too which was totally unexpected. The green tea was very nice and the vanilla was amazing. Server was super nice and helpful, super clean and chill inside. Really great spot. Definitely will be back and probably grab some take out since it's right in town.

    A little pricey but pretty good. The spicy ramen was really good. Tables are also a little close together but vibe was good.

I have an easy menu to read overhead, I just wish it gave more detail on the menu because I did have several questions as to which to order. Once you place your order you find a table to sit at. It's not a big spot, but there is plenty of seating. I ended up ordering the black garlic noodles with medium spice. I enjoyed my bowl however I felt like it looked flavor. They did have big chunks of garlic in it, but there was something missing. I'm glad they had the chili oil on the table to add to it. The kids bowl has about the same amount noodles. It just doesn't have all the extra fixings.

The broth here is rich, bold, and packed with flavor...some might find it intense, but for me it's a total chef's kiss.

My husband went for the Spicy Tonkotsu and was sweating bullets by the end of the meal, but he still cleaned his bowl! The chashu pork was a little dry on this visit, but the broth, noodles, and all the toppings still made for a delicious and satisfying meal. Bonus: They're currently offering FREE gyoza with every ramen order! If you're looking for a hearty, flavorful bowl of ramen, check them out. Just don't question my decision to eat hot soup during a heat wave.

My husband ordered the teriyaki bento box, my daughter ordered the spicy salmon roll, and I ordered the spicy tuna. We also ordered Miso soups for our appetizers. We were also given Korean glass noodles, on the house to taste test. Everything was delicious! Generous portions as well as reasonably priced. I love the creamy sesame salad dressing . The tempura was light and not greasy at all. I liked that they served the teriyaki sauce separately so you can control how much sauce is on the chicken based on your preference. Our rolls were served with a little spicy mayo and I believe eel sauce on the side of the plate ( nice touch!
