Rakki Ramen

This place used to be consistently satisfying for when we have our chicken katsu curry and ramen dinner cravings.However, this last visit was during lunch time was not met. The portions are the same, but the taste and quality of the food isn't. Got chicken katsu curry mini, 6 piece gyoza to share, cold noodle (hayashi ramen). The chicken katsu was decent, still crunchy and warm when we got home (2 minute drive). The rice was old, a day or 2 and it was on the cooler room temperature side, and hard. The curry was packed separately which is nice and thoughtful but it was really watered down and not thick like how Japanese curry usually is. I was really disappointed with the mini chicken katsu curry. Gyoza was on point and cold noodle was yummy.

It's nice and clean with dining tables inside.Service is always quick and courteous. I'm not sure if it's the 2nd or 3rd ramen shop in that spot but I always b like it there.I can feed myself amd 3 teenaged gkids for under $60. That's a win. LoL.

This is a ramen spot, but all their workers spoke Mandarin. It didn't matter though. The food was fantastic and a good value. We got the Special Combo set. They have three to choose from. We got the set with ramen. You get a small ramen with two sides. We chose the black garlic broth which was $1.50 more, so $15.75 for each meal. The black garlic ramen was fantastic. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the broth was tasty. Thankfully, it wasn't watered down. Their broths are simmered for 12 hours daily. The sides were all good as well. I got the calamari rings and gyoza. It was a decent size and filled with pork and veggies. My hubby got the mochiko chicken and chicken katsu. What really made me notice this place is what I heard and not what I seen. The table next to us ordered the fried rice. I grew up eating Chinese food and probably eaten at a thousand Chinese restaurants. That sound of metal clinking on the wok with the fire flaring doesn't escape my ears. I was just eating my ramen when I heard that sound. My ears perked up. I knew that they were making the fried rice and that it was going to be filled with wok hei. That's how I knew this place was legit.

How do you advertise free gyoza from 2:30pm. I was waiting until 2:30pm then I ordered 1 combo and the worker said free Gyozas are only when you order the regular mind you combos are 1.00 more. Unreal these restraunts. It's all about Money.

Was so excited on receiving my food through door dash but was disappointed in the end. First off, received my food on time, but as I was eating I found a ROACH in my food never have I ever experienced this before and on top of that my chicken katsu was really dry. Called it in and clerk was very sincere so I wasn't too upset, but all I ask is to please double check.

2 of us got food poisoning from this place and we both had the same food item. Never eating or taking out food here agian!.

New ramen shop which took over Daiichi ramen. Nothing has changed as far as ambiance on the inside. Still feels like a Japanese ramen house which creates a nice setting. Menu has changed not but they still provide combo sets, rice plates, curry and regular ramen. Some differences I spotted was cold noodles and salads on the menu I went with the black garlic ramen ($13.50) and added extra charsiu ($3.50) and butter ($2.00). I also ordered a side of 6 piece gyoza ($6.50). Their combo sets were $14.25 which isn't that bad as it comes with a variety of sides to choose from. The food came out quick. It's wasn't as busy when we came at around 4 pm on a Thursday. The ramen was nice and hot and the added butter slowly melted away. I love the sides they provide on the table. My favorite is the garlic bits. I literally took half of it at least. The extra egg was nice as mine did not come with one originally. Others may come with one so be sure to ask. The broth for the black garlic was soooo good and flavorful. Literally love garlic based broth. Sides were good, gyoza was okay but the mini fried rice was bomb. Very enjoyable and a mini is enough to fill you up with some other sides to much on. Overall, a good experience. Staff was friendly and refilled our water regularly. Food and portions were good. Price is decent and competitive. Not a must try but definitely a craving fulfiller.

As I drove to Safeway I noticed a Grand Opening sign under Daiichi Ramen and realized a new ramen place has opened in its place. Welcome Rakki Ramen!I went in and the staff was super friendly and showed me their menu. Seems very much like Daiichi, roughly the same items and roughly the same price but maybe little more cause inflation. Maybe a little more selection. It's a list menu without pics so hard for me to compare without counting. My husband was already at home making meat Jun so I couldn't order a lot. I did inquire about a small pan of Gyoza which is like $39 and you get 45 pieces. As someone who makes Gyoza for my family, and given the time it takes to cut veggies, prep the mix, and fold the Gyoza and cook it.... This isn't a bad deal. The Gyoza was tasty.... But I prefer it with more ginger. But it wasn't bad. 2 six piece orders cost me $11.57 with the current promotion. I can't wait to try more!

i love rakki ramen and i make sure to stop by at least twice a week for my fix! i love getting the mini Black Garlic ramen combo with two choice of shrimp katsu and fried rice! yall need to try

We rarely eat on the west side but this place had good reviews. And was in the area. If you're in to a flavorful rich broth with a perfect amount of spices then this Rakki ramen is for you. All the ramen here looks really good and I like my ramen with some kick in spice. There is a good amount of selections of ramen that's not spicy but I decided to order one of their specialty ramen (Rakki ramen) it comes with a nicely flavored salted egg with Char-su pork and some greens. The service was nice. They always came back to refill our water as needed. And the place has a nice and worm look.
