“ Second time here and the food was great again. Whatever the criteria for ‘regulars’ is, we are bound to meet that eventually. For appetizers, we did [our] standard fried gyoza (pictured) and some chicken skewers. The kids ate all the chicken skewers and asked for more! They were very good. We had the Chicken Katsu/White Rice (pictured), Curry Ramen (pictured), and kids Ramen x2 for the meals. All great and very flavorful. Katsu is a rare find around Raleigh. ”

“ Okay....not sure why these guys are rated so low but I've been going here for sometime now. Amazing service overall and the cherry on top is there incredible packaging for the to go orders is something all places can learn from. There food is way better then all the Chinese restaurants in the area and overall food is on point. I love there pork belly fried rice dish and of course numerous other dishes. ”

“ Although I paid extra to substitute pork belly I was glad they made the mistake and gave me the katsu pork it was tender and delicious. This restaurant is a must try!! Excellent!! ”

“ Worth the Wait!! Me and my wife have been watching it be built and very excited for them to open... I can say as two people who very much enjoy ramen this is a great conformable restaurant that dosen't try to make it feel pretentious.... its ramen after all I feel previous reviews are looking for the fake pintrest ramen shops from California and missing the point. From the start the place feels very clean upscale but not over done we were sat in a booth that was private but didnt feel like a cave. It was my wifes birthday and the staff had no idea untill about halfway in but still treated us like the only guests even though it was a busy night. The waiter was very knowledgeable and helped us get started with braised pork belly Bao Bunns and we ordered spring rolls. I am a ferm believer in the quality of the spring roll will tell you how much care they take with the rest of the meal. We were not disappointed the braised pork belly was not overwhelmed in sauce but the subtle sweet notes backed by the earthy pork was only out done by the pristine way the pork was cooked not over done to the point it was just jelly but it had just enough bite to alow you to enjoy the experience. The egg roll did not disappoint clearly made in house as the inconsistently in size demonstrated that the goal is the flavor and ingredients. It was served with an amazing sweet chili sauce that was so good it didnt have that overwhelming citrus vibe you get from store bought sauces and it alowed you to fully experience all the flavors in it. My wife ordered the black garlic ramen and I chose the spicy miso ramen on the recommendation of our waiter. Both had the chashu pork and baised on the Bao buns we were treated to earlier we eagerly awaited them to arive. Service was prompt but not rushed and we were not overly handled like some chain restaurants train there staff to do. Rather it felt private and me and my wife were alowed to sit and talk but never felt ignored as with the size of the restaurant I felt like at any moment I could get our waiters attention. When our ramen came it was amazing the broth was full of flavor and as expected the pork was cooked perfectly not overcooked but certainly not undercooked the flavor was there but not overwhelming and alowed each ingredient to be its own experience. The staff came out and sang happy birthday to my wife honestly i had forgotten that I had mentioned it. I do wish they had waited till we were done with our food but I understand that can be hard to judge in a busy restaurant. They brought us a slice of mocha crape soo good light and fluffy but packed with great flavor. When the meal was done we wanted some sake to take home and our waiter even though he told us he didn't drink he was able to accurately describe each option and we left with a bottle to take home along with some of that great house made sweet chili sauce. (My wife couldnt beleve I asked but our waiter said it was a normal request) My one con and I know this is a loosing battle with new tech but I hate the tablet paying process even though it happens table side and your not required to go up to the counter to pay. The square tablet makes it feel like im paying at Chipotle and its my only gripe. I know thats a small thing to be upset about but something about handing the waiter my card and him scan it table side than hand me the tablet to chose from 3 tip options cheepens the experience and likely would have tiped more if given a section to write in a tip. Overall great place for a sitdown place that produces an amazing ramen with out the pretentious attitude that some shops try to make this icon of japanese confort food something it isnt. RaRamen will be a great stop that me and my wife will add to our regular rotation for sure. ”

“ Went on Sunday to celebrate a late Valentine's dinner. I loved the ambience so much and the waiter was so kind and attentive. I forgot his name, but he had light brown hair and a chain. I ordered the curry ramen with katsu chicken and my bf got a beef rice bowl with yum yum sauce. We shared shrimp tempura and the strawberry crepe cake. First time trying curry ramen and it was so amazing, had a lil kick to it. My bf also liked the rice bowl and we both loved the shrimp tempura with the sauce, it had the perfect texture. The cake also had a perfect balance of flavor, it wasn't too sweet and it was wonderfully flaky. Clayton definitely needs more places like this, I'd come here again! ”

“ My server, Leslie, was very prompt and efficient. She was also very kind as was everybody that I interacted with there. I probably waited no more than 10 minutes from the time of ordering to get my food. The food tasted delicious. I got the black garlic Ramen and added a beef rib. The prices were normal for Ramen places. All in all I’m glad that they are so close to my house and I am excited to come back and see them. Thank you guys for taking such good care of me. ”

“ The food here was really great as well as the service! They pineapple glow boba tea was freshly made and delicious. Our meals were really flavorful and came out quickly so we weren’t waiting for a long time, which is great because we had our toddler with us! Our server was very kind. We had the tofu, crab Rangoons, curry ramen and a tonkatsu ramen. The chicken in the curry ramen was perfectly made, crispy on the outside but still moist and tender on the inside. The crepe cake dessert was also delicious!! We will definitely be back. ”

“ My mom is gluten-free and dairy-free and had the veggie ramen. She raved about the quality of broth and the noodles were a great texture and flavor with plenty of veggies. I had the black garlic ramen and the flavor was insanely good. The pork was tender and juicy. My dad had the beef ramen and he really loved it as well. We also had some gyoza, hot sake, and dessert. We will definitely be back! ”
