We had the best experience here! The inside of the restaurant was very clean and the ladies working behind the counter were very friendly. I tried their most popular ramen and we also got an order of gyoza. We had brought our toddler with us and planned on sharing our entrees with him. When they brought out our food they had given us a child's size bowl with silverware that was age appropriate. I have never seen a restaurant do this, and it was so very thoughtful! My mama heart exploded from their kindness. Everything was delicious and our toddler loved it too. Thank you for the delicious food and kindness. read more

From the outside you would never expect that this is the coolest little ramen shop. I absolutely loved all the decor and our ramen was great! My brother has been to Japan multiple times so his ramen standards were high and he even really liked it! It is the best ramen I have found in Indy so far. I loved how helpful the staff was when ordering and they even had fun drink options! read more

Ramen Ray - Ramen Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

A quaint little ramen shop that packs a lot of flavor. I appreciate when a restaurant has a small menu that they do well. I opted for the shoyu ramen. A rich pork broth was complimented with crunchy bean sprouts, springy noodles, and fresh green onions, I always love the addition of a fish cake in my ramen as well. I think we only waited maybe about 5 minutes for our food to come out. Ramen Ray is great when you're craving something comforting! read more

Ramen can be VERY hit or miss. Pulling up to this place you can just tell it's going to be good. The menu is small, but for good reason. They do their ramen well. The Black Garlic Tonkotsu was full of flavor and very filling, and the miso spicy wasn't too spicy, but gave just the kick you were looking for. Both dishes came piping hot. Obviously you have to bag some gyoza - and these were fresh, soft, with a slight crust. Already looking forward to my next trip. read more

I wanted to try this place for a while as I have drove passed it multiple times in 61st Street . If you're looking for a comforting bowl of ramen at the low key restaurant Ramen Ray is the place ! I They have a variety of ramen options to choose from ! We were confused on what to order but the owner was super nice and explained what to except in each dish . I ordered Spicy Oyako Miso Ramen with Chicken. I loved the flavor I believed it had pork broth so I would recommend asking about it before ordering . The portions are huge so I had to box almost half of my bowl . I would definitely visits Thai place again to try other ramen, appetizers and soft serve ice cream ! Also , we went on a Saturday night and were not aware that the places closed at 8 PM else we would have gotten there earlier . So , please check the time they close before heading there . read more

Ramen Ray has long been on my list, and I finally went! Again, growing up in Japan, I am VERY picky about Ramen and it's authenticity. It is sad to admit there are not many authentic ramen options in Indy. But multiple friends from Japan told me they tried and liked Ramen Ray. I had high anticipation. I tried their tan tan pork and it was good. Not mind blowing, but it's good. On their website they claim it's from Hokkaido, Japan. I can believe that after tasting this. But when it comes to thickness and richness, I'd still prefer Kizuki and Jinya. However I'd say this is the best in Indianapolis! read more

Had been looking forward to trying this place out for a while as ramen is one of my favorite foods. Service was great, and the spicy miso ramen was really good! However, this ramen ended up giving me horrible food poisoning. Very disappointing as I was extremely excited to come and thought the overall experience was great until it made me extremely sick.. read more

When this place first opened I feel like it was the only place in Indy that served ramen. Now there are a ton of places so I hate to say it but I haven't been in recently because it was out of the way. I'm happy to be stopping in today because I have always loved the broth and gyoza. Since I've been away I can see some of the updates they have made. You can check in at a kiosk if you prefer it and their menu options have grown to include more ramen and curry! read more

If you have never visited Ramen Ray, you will feel just like I do now, which is regret for not have coming to this place sooner! Ramen Ray has constantly been on my to try list, but because I have top Ramen in my mind when I think about noodles, I never made a visit a high priority. Boy was I wrong, worst mistake ever! We came to Ramen Ray as part of devour in these two week restaurant deal event. My husband and I each ordered a bowl of our own Ramen and we were able to share an order of potstickers followed by mochi ice cream. I don't think I've ever had quite an experience like I had at Ramen Ray where as soon as they set the bowl of food down in front of me and I took a smell, I knew this was going to be one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. Everything was perfection. In a portion size of the noodles was glorious! The smell, the taste, the texture it was all tens across the board! My husband sat in silence for most of the meal quietly devouring everything in front of him. If he did make a sound it was only to say this place is so good! It was also my first time trying mochi ice cream which I was pleasantly surprised with! I will definitely be back for more! read more

A hot bowl of ramen sounded delicious when I was under the weather on Christmas Eve, so we ordered delivery from Ramen Ray. I was concerned about how it would travel, but as you can see from the photo everything was carefully packaged and all I had to do was combine it all in my own bowl. We both ordered the spicy miso ramen since it was listed as most 'popular'. Though it's a little expensive, you get a huge portion. I was hoping it would be a little spicier, but the broth was very flavorful. I wasn't a big fan of the pork but the veggies and noodles were great and the egg was perfect. next time I'll probably try veggie or tofu and add extra spice. read more

This place has the best ramen in town!! I love the low key atmosphere. You order at the counter, choose a seat, and they bring your food out to you. It's hard to go wrong with really any of the Ramen, but the spicy miso is particularly good. It's kinda out in the middle of nowhere, but the parking is easy. Definitely a fun place to bring people who have never had ramen before. read more

This place is a breath of fresh air and an answer to many of the "locally owned" ramen restaurants in the Indianapolis area that can't cook an egg without messing it up. I had the black garlic ramen with an added egg. The noodles were perfectly done. The broth was on point. The egg was perfect. Nothing in downtown Indy is remotely on the same level as these people. read more

This is a shorter review as I was only able to do a carry out (This place is 2 hours away from home and I had a dog traveling with me on a very hot day). I called for pick up, and the person on the phone was very professional. I ordered the miso tan tan men with a side of pork gyozas amd sode of soft boil egg. Order was about 20 mins to be ready, which was perfectly how far i was from them. When I picked up, the food was packaged perfectly and beautifully (see pix). The broth was delicious and the noodles perfect. Highly recommend! I cannot wait to try this place as a sit in. It is a bit pricy.. 14 dollars for what I got and they could surely upgrade the soft boil (tho perfectly cooked) to a ramen egg option? read more

Ramen Ray - Ramen Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

went in on a Wednesday evening, there was no one there to greet me. we were eventually guided to order on a kiosk like a McDonald's. there were no descriptions on the screen, and nothing to see except pictures of soup with a price tag of about $20 each. eventually, I did pick something, and then the chip reader didn't work. the server, which was the only person there to help, told us to wait, and then continued to stand at the order window, not helping me. frustrated, confused, and overwhelmed, I waited for the server to help me for about 5 minutes. he couldn't stop staring at the window to help me pay $50+ for 2 bowls of soup. I left, disappointed. I was really excited to try this place because of the reviews, but I was VERY DISAPPOINTED. Would not recommend. if they can't handle a Wednesday night, I can't even imagine how they are on the weekend. sad. read more

Great food and service. A bit on the expensive side but worth it! Cozy and cute restaurant.

Decided to check this place out for Devour Indy and was craving some ramen. I got the spicy miso ramen and overall I have to say it was pretty good. The broth and spice came together well. Some of the toppings, such as kale, did not make sense to me but overall pretty good. Also had a chance to try the vegetable gyozas and those were pretty fire. The crispiness was absolutely key. The mochi they gave at the end was a great way to end the meal as well. I loved the inside and reminds me of a true mom and pop ramen shop vibe. The staff were very friendly as well and though it did seem understaffed, they were doing a great job. Overall, I think if you want a good wholesome meal filled with ramen, this is a good place. Would love to see more variety in what is in the ramen next time. read more

I am a huge fan of ramen ray's broth!! Specifically the miso ramen broth, it's so rich and reminds me of my Tokyo trip from years ago. Ramen is also immaculate! However, my only critique is that the meat isn't tender and has a rougher consistency... Super quick service, even though they seemed pretty busy during the day I visited. More of a casual spot, there is some seating but it can get pretty crowded. read more

Went here for Devour Indy and truly couldn't be happier. The service was so positive and the food was DELICIOUS. We got the chicken paitan and shoyu ramen and will absolutely be coming back!! We also got the vanilla soft serve and a slushy and are leaving with full and happy hearts and stomachs read more

For those who have ventured Marion county and surrounding areas for ramen, me saying that Ramen Ray is #2 may not mean much, because their really are not many exquisite options to choose from. Ramen Ray has been a consistent, no frills ramen spot for me. Their selections are good, and they'll throw an experimental ramen dish on the menu from time to time. My only complaint was going to be that they did not have a tonkotsu broth, which forced me to settle for miso. But I just looked at the menu and it seems they made some changes. They were lacking that for at least the first 3 years they were open. If I go and it's good, I will give them 5 stars; I digress. Concluding: I recommend Ramen Ray for a good bowl of ramen. They also have a pretty good deal during the Devour events. They've also had half-bowl options for those with children or lighter appetites. read more

Casual little ramen spot that's perfect for warming up on chilly evenings. My partner and I came for Devour Indy's winterfest. For $36, you receive 6 gyoza, two ramen entrees, and 2 pieces of mochi ice cream. You order at the counter and then staff bring the food to your table, a la Culver's or Fazoli's. The gyoza are probably my new favorites in the city. I had the black garlic tonkotsu which contained pork slices, scallions, bean sprouts, and ginger. The broth is savory, and the ginger really punches through the umami. It's a well-rounded dish. My partner's spicy miso broth was good but not great, and the egg was overdone. The staff was very apologetic that they only had vanilla mochi for dessert, but we still enjoyed them. Overall it's a cute little spot with friendly staff. The decor and chairs are a little mismatched, but the food speaks for itself. read more

Love Ramen Ray! During COVID19, they're doing both delivery and carryout through Yelp. You can also order on their website. It's the perfect cozy meal! I tried my first ramen here about six years ago when they first opened. Before you come, know that this is a ramen restaurant specializing in Sapporo style ramen from Hokkaido Japan. If you're wondering what that means... The definition is: "made with a rich chicken, fish, or pork broth, the soup is flavored with akamiso (red soybean paste) and commonly topped with stir-fried bean sprouts, cabbage, sweet corn, and ground pork." Just by looking at the ramen, the only difference you'll really notice is that it has corn in it. I personally love this style and have ordered the shoyu and miso ramens. Both are delicious and I look forward to trying the yuzu ramen next time I'm back! There are two vegetarian ramens as well as pork or veggie gyozos and chashu rice. read more

Very disappointed. Came to town & wanted to try this place out with a friend. The staff are not attentive much. This is basically a do all self serve place. They don't great you at the counter. There's a self checkout pad at the counter where you place your own order and pay. A ticket prints as you sit down to wait on your order. I paid $25 for ramen & dumplings. There's a table with small plastic water cups & pitcher for you to pour your own water. I ordered the spicy miso ramen & it was a nice presentation but extremely unflavored. The black garlic oil that was an extra dollar didn't add much flavor at all. It was worth a try but don't visit again. read more

Ramen Ray - Spicy Miso Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Ramen Ray specializes in Sapporo-style ramen, which means a richer broth and toppings like corn, bean sprouts, green onions. You can order extra toppings like spicy ball and nori. We ventured here on a Devour Indy deal for two for $36, which comes with 6pc gyoza, two ramen, and mochi dessert. The special was Tan Tan, and this broth was rich and delicious. It had pork and both choy toppings. It wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be, but it is well balanced. We also got the Spicy Miso and this did not disappoint as well. As far as the gyoza, it looked beautiful and crispy but it was not warm inside at all which was disappointing. The strawberry mochi was good! read more

I've been coming to this place since it opened and thought I would be updating a review but I guess it slipped by me. Ramen rays is on 71st just past the Kroger in what I assume was another old restaurant. You walk in, order at the counter and then you can grab a seat to enjoy your drink while you wait for your ramen to come out. I ended up having the johns porter from bier, it's one of my favorites and to see it in a can was a nice surprise. Once my ramen came out, I dug right in wasting no time, My spicy miso ramen was delicious! Flavorful and spicy, the pork belly was cooked to perfection, and the soft boiled egg was awesome. I've always been impressed with ramen rays and this time was no different! Quick and friendly service plus tasty ramen in the cold. Will definitely be back for More read more

the bone broth Was delicious, but the noodles are definitely not fresh. The noodles were only slightly better than in a ramen package. There was only fat and no meat. The rice was dry as a bone. I had high hopes for the goza But they were really bland and the sauce was just straight salt. I wanted very much to like this place have been wanting to try it for a really long time I'm so disappointed. This was definitely not worth my $30. Do not order soft drinks here! Diet coke in a can $2.00 and regular coke is $2.50. Specialty drinks even higher, but bottled water $.50. Makes no sense. read more

I've been meaning to visit Ramen Ray for months and finally got around to it! Boy, was I missing out! My party got the regular Miso Ramen and the Spicy Miso Ramen and both were FANTASTIC. The pork shoulder was cooked perfectly, the Spicy Ramen was jussttt spicy enough without it being too much and the extra noodles we got on the side really topped off our ramen so we had noodles available until the last drop. On top of all this, the Ramen is SO reasonably priced for the amount and the quality that you get. Though Ramen Ray is nowhere near where I'm located downtown, I will definitely be making the trip up to 71st street again soon to get more! Pro-Tip: Try a different type of Ramen each time you go so you get the full experience. Each one has a unique taste and you're missing out if you don't try them all! read more

Ramen Ray - Spicy Miso Ramen (SO good) - Ramen Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I've been to a few ramen restaurants whereas my boyfriend has been to a few in Japan, and can I just say Ramen Ray blew our minds! My boyfriend told me that eating this Ramen brought back some nostalgic feelings of when he visited Japan. Who would have thought this hidden gem would be tucked away on 5628 E 71st St, Indianapolis, IN just 18min away from my home! LETS BREAK THIS REVIEW DOWN! 3, 2, 1.... GOOO Okay So Ramen Ray is an American take on the traditional Japanese Ramen noodles. I ordered the spicy miso Ramen and my boyfriend got the regular miso ramen. We ordered the (8PC) gyoza, 2 Japanese pops and 2 orders of mochi. How much did that all cost? Well to be frank it was not cheap. The ramen on its own is about $14 for a full size. When you add drinks and desert it does add up. After tax and tip my bill came out to be around $50 for my boyfriend and I. Given that this was a hefty price for some ramen I can say with 100% confidence this DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!! How so? $50 is a lot tho? Well heres the thing, I'm that type of person that doesn't mind paying that much AS LONG as the food meets my personal expectations. Once again Ramen Ray DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The gyoza was surprisingly crisp, but at the same time very soft like how a dumpling should be. The pork in the gyoza was so flavorful and dipping that dumpling in the sauce provided, made my taste buds FLYYYYYY! The ramen had a good chewy texture to it but you can definitely tell its higher quality than packaged ramen. The BROTH was the ultimate star of the show in my opinion. It was spicy, yet sweet, and the different toppings enhanced an extra layer of flavor that made the overall eating experience quit enjoyable. They also include pork and half an egg that is softly cooked. Overall oh my goodness soooo filling and so good! My take away from Ramen Ray: This place is hands down my new favorite Ramen spot and ill leave it up to you to decide if the ramen is worth $14 or not!!! 10/10 for me!!!! read more
