    This place was perfect for a rainy day! Everything was delicious! The environment was clean, the staff were nice and welcoming! Our food came out quickly and we even got a goodbye on our way out!! Definitely recommend!

    I love the decoration of this place. The skewers were so good. Scallop & squid were my favorites. The seaweed salad was plentiful and we couldn't even finish it. Happy to find this Izakaya place in Edison.

    I was craving for a good ramen which could be perfect for a cold night ,but I was disappointed. I had the black garlic ramen. The noodles were cooked aldente,the way I like it. It's got a generous portion of charsiu that's very tender and flavorful. Bamboo is smelly, kikurage mushrooms, red ginger ,fish cake was starchy and too soft , scallion,,black garlic oil, pork soup base is sub par, not umami and was not boiling hot. Seasoned egg is not seasoned, it tastes like regular boiled egg. It was served on a melamine bowl . The servers were wearing sweat pants and sweat hoodie which is turn off. I won't be returning here . I can see the mess behind the cashier from where I was seating. ...

    I came here for lunch with some coworkers! I love the anime mural on the walls and the large portion of ramen I ordered Ambiance - detailed anime art on the wall- Naruto, demon slayer! - plenty of natural light Service - waiters were friendly - food came out quickly Food - tonkatsu ramen- large portion, the char siu was a bit overcooked and charred for my liking, broth was delicious but could have more pork flavor, noodles were perfectly chewy This ramen spot was pretty good and a great quick lunch spot!

    Fried Sticky Rice Cake

    Came to check out Rayaki for the first time on a Saturday evening. For appetizers we started with the fried sticky rice cakes and gyoza. The fried sticky rice cakes were my personal favorite out of the two. I really love the texture of the rice cakes and the honey and spicy mayo sauce was delicious. I honestly could have eaten that whole plate by myself. As for the gyoza it was okay. I'm honestly not a huge fan of dumplings. So I would personally skip them and order a different appetizer if I were to return. As for my main entree I went with the Black Garlic Ramen. This ramen has Cha Shu (Marinated Pork), bamboo, kikurage mushrooms, red ginger, fish cake, scallions, black garlic oil, pork soup base, seasoned egg. It wasn't too bad and it was pretty filling but I think the next time I may try the pork belly over rice. It wasn't too busy around the time I went which was around 5pm. The food also came out pretty fast so there wasn't a long wait.

    Lovely ramen place in Edison NJ. This is a new spot which is quite popular. The loaded Rayaki fries are amazing and quite a few tables ordered this while we were there. The ramen is excellent as the broth was not overly salty like other places. This place is known for their anime painted walls which is amazing artistry. Love how you just check off what you want on a piece of paper and then hand it to the waitress. Definitely makes ordering a breeze.

    Rayaki Ramen in Edison is a great spot for both casual meals and a nostalgic experience. The restaurant has a cool vibe, featuring a large art wall that gives the place a unique atmosphere. They play classic old-school anime, which is a fun touch for anyone looking to reminisce about their favorite childhood shows. At the same time, they also showcase newer manga series, keeping things fresh and interesting for anime fans of all ages. The staff here are incredibly welcoming and attentive. They do a great job of keeping the place clean, quickly clearing tables once customers leave, ensuring the next group of patrons can settle in comfortably. The menu is packed with options, offering plenty of variety for everyone to find something they'll love. While we usually stick to ramen, this time we decided to try a mix of different dishes. We started with the Rayaki Fries, which were crispy and tasty, although we noticed there wasn't as much cheese and topping as usual -usually, they load it up more. Still, they were delicious. The Takoyaki was flavorful and hit the spot. The Eggplant Miso Skewers were a highlight - the flavor was mouthwatering, and they were definitely a standout item. The Fishcake Skewer was good, but nothing particularly special; it was more of a curiosity to see what it would taste like. For something a bit more unique, we tried the Kani Bao Dun, which had a generous amount of kani (crab), and I loved that. I'd actually love to see them make a Kani Onigiri, that would be amazing! The portions for the Pork Belly Over Rice and Pork Cutlet Curry were huge and definitely worth the price. The Pork Belly Over Rice was flavorful, but it had a bit too much sauce, and the broccoli could've used a little more seasoning. The Pork Cutlet Curry was tasty, though it was a bit on the dry and tough side. For drinks, I tried the Brown Sugar Milk, which was very sweet. Once I stirred the syrup at the bottom, it became more manageable, but it was still too sugary for my taste. I had originally wanted the Boba Milk Tea, but they had run out, so I opted for the brown sugar milk instead. I probably wouldn't get it again, but it was worth a try. One thing that stood out was how quickly the staff brought out our food, but after that, they seemed to stop checking in on us. They only came back when we requested the check, which felt a bit rushed compared to the rest of the service. Overall, Rayaki Ramen is a great place to visit, with a welcoming atmosphere, fun anime nostalgia, and a wide-ranging menu. There are a few small improvements that could be made, but overall, it's definitely worth trying!

    I've seen videos about this chain and wanted to give it a try. For Friday lunch time rush, it was pretty quiet. The vibe was not inviting and the workers seemed to just keep to themselves and didn't greet us right away to talk about the process. Ordered pork katsu, black garlic ramen, and fried squid. They were all pretty mediocre and nothing to go back for. I don't even want to use my texting efforts on how my entire experience was. Can't remember if they served alcohol, but would prefer doing here with friends and enjoying some apps and drinks. That's probably the vibe needed to make this place a hub... that's my recommendation :]

    All I'm saiyan is that Rayaki is super! Come for the Instagram famous murals on all four walls of your favorite anime characters, but stay for the fantastic food. There is a wide assortment of ramen to try, and I appreciated there were so many seafood and vegetarian options (really hard to eat ramen when most places only have pork broth). I was also surprised to learn a little about Japanese cooking techniques. This restaurant employs "robatayaki", which involves cooking over coals. Sure enough, the shrimp in my ramen were charred and smoky. This is an authentic dining experience I've never had at any other Japanese restaurant in the US! Takoyaki was also delicious, and I liked the sauce and ability to wrap it up with lettuce for a fresh contrast to the fried flavor. The service was very quick. Felt like we got our food almost immediately after ordering. All in all, a must try ramen spot in NJ. The walls might be the thing that draw you in, but even if the walls were bare, there would be a lot to be impressed by.

    I went here for the first time today and my review is based on that. I came on lunch break and there were a few other diners here. I parked in the free parking lot in front of the restaurant. This restaurant is located at the end of a strip mall. Staff was polite and attentive. My food came out quickly. The anime decor is eye catching. I ate the Chicken Katsu Ramen. It was mediocre. I finished the whole thing, and I thought it was a reasonable amount of food for the $15 price. The flavor was lackluster, mostly it just tasted like salty broth with some pieces of grated fresh ginger in it. The chicken was not flavorful at all, and I did not finish all the pieces of chicken. The $.99 grocery store Ramen that I prepare at home in my microwave tastes just as good. I am not interested in coming back to eat here.

    I went here recently for a birthday party. The space is a bit small. The decor and paintings on the walls were exciting especially for anime fans. Initially this is why we had eaten here. We were greeted at the door and were told we can sit wherever we wanted to. It took over 30 minutes for someone to come and take their drink order. They did not seem to be short staffed. One of our friends in the party decided to go by the register to get someone to take our drink order. It took another 30 minutes to get our drink order and it came sporadically. We did not order any alcohol or any drink that would take a lot of time. We had ordered mostly sodas and waters. We had ordered some appetizers. This had taken more than 45 minutes to get. The pork fries appetizer was absolutely tasty and amazing. The other appetizers that we had ordered were mediocre. We had put in our orders for entrees. The entrees were exactly about an hour to get our entrees that we thought they had forgotten about us. When the entrees arrived they had gotten a lot of our orders confused and had to go back to the kitchen a handful of times. The food tasted burnt and it was dreadful to continue to eat. The chicken was way overcooked and you could not bite through it. Most of my part had gotten the ramen and I got the chicken katsu. Perhaps it was just an off day for this restaurant given the reviews but the service really killed the experience.

    I ordered the spicy miso ramen, kani salad, scallop, steak, shrimp, broccoli and asparagus skewer. Omg soooo good!! Hit the spot! I thought the steak skewer was the best - love the marinade/sauce on it. The veggies were also very flavorful and was not expecting the asparagus to be one long spear lol. The scallops were good but small, shrimp small and ok. The ramen I inhaled - I didn't even take a pic! lol. The noodles are so delicious - really feel like it might be top ramen spot around this area. I want to try the black garlic. The kani salad was just ok - I liked that it wasn't swimming in mayo and they gave a large portion - just on salty side. Would maybe skip this. Overall love the food - want to check out the artwork in the place itself! Also I learned the name is a mix of ramen and yakitori (skewer) just in case you were wondering! :)

    We found the cutest Ramen spot ever. It's an Anime theme with amazing mural art. We got the Spicy Miso Ramen (pictured) Black Garlic Ramen, spicy edamame, and Takoyaki. Food was delicious!!! Definitely returning

    Portion size is good. But flavor wise it's not as good as it used to be. Black garlic is not garlic enough.

    I took my son here after Church for lunch. I wanted to find an anime inspired place for him…read more He loved the decor. Let's talk about those call buttons: WHY doesn't most restaurants do this?!?? We both were happy with the bell to just press when we were ready to order instead of a waiter disappearing and you having to flag them down. And they come pretty quick. We didn't want to be rude so we only used it twice. Food: The food was delicious. Everything was delicious and well prepared but are dessert people and we'd go back for that crepe mango cake!!!! Talk about delicious and melt in your mouth. Loved it Everything else was good but that's just our jam

    I'd meaning to visit this Japanese spot for a long time and happy to be able to visit it today…read more We were booked for 3 people at 1 pm and was accommodated with no issue when we showed up 15 minutes early and with an additional person. We loved the ambiance right away when we were seated. We mentioned that it's our first time and the staff said that we are welcome to browse rest of the place at our convenience. Placing the order is so easy , staff is so endearing and friendly. There is a call bell when in need of any. Food served in no time. They just opened the business at noon for the day and lucky to be the first of their guests list. We ordered their yakitori platter and signature sampler being our first time here. In addition we had ramen , miso soup and eel/cucumber roll with it. It was such an interesting combination! We enjoyed both the samplers. We definitely know what we would be our pick for next visit. All our order was aesthetically pretty. Instagram worthy. Food taste met our expectations. The ambiance of the place is vibing. Decorations are pleasing. The private room and service are phenomenal. We had a great dining experience! There is great perk after spending more than a $100, a raffle for free food or drinks to be consumed on next visit. A great spot to be ! Come by.

    Honestly one of the best unknowns I've ever picked. Needed some food after a day of shopping and…read moremost things were already closed, so went a little out of our way to get some food. The place is a simpler local eatery, so decor wasn't exactly a designed by some of the best New York interior decorators, but it was pleasant and very calm. The food is a fusion of various Asian cuisines but it is picked very well and cooked to perfection. Kids loved the Baos and Ramen which is probably one of the best indicators of the quality. From what I can tell it is family owned and run, so service may be a little slower than most similar places but it is definitely attentive and friendlier then most.

    FYI - posting this a few months late (was in the drafts)…read more I really enjoyed my first dinner at Kurobuta with a friend! We shared some small plates and tried to get a good feel for the menu. Higher end vibe with some cool fusion elements to the options available - it's clear ingredients are high quality and presentation is very important to them. Even the drinks have fun little lights in them! Service was very kind and attentive but also lets you take your time - which is lovely! We had reservations which I don't think was necessary on a weeknight, but would recommend it for weekends. They mark your reserved table with a cute sign! Overall prices were a bit high for the portions but I understand it's likely for quality. Be prepared to spend if you're hungry!
