Rain Bistro

Came back bc it was a cold day last night, & we had a taste for soup. Rain Bistro did not disappoint. Ramen was a first try here. Chose the tonkotsu with black garlic broth and the flavor is stand out. Second, I ordered the beef braised soup for the second time, & yes it was wonderful.Our app came last, but we didn't mind at all. Chashu buns with beef were sweet and savory and was a great compliment with our soup which is salty.Our server was silly and loved his laugh and dancing to the music. An interesting selection of 70's and other music. This atmosphere is clean and open, & the floor reminds me of an open dance floor. We really like this restaurant and I'm sure we will be back for more especially with it being winter & having stand out soups for a great price.

Drop a star. Actually 1.5 stars. The revisit makes me feel that the cuisine is more like take out quality. Rain use to have good taste event their fried rice. We chicken drumettes with fried rice. The coating of the drumettes is plain. Although there is dipping sauce, but it needs to have some flavor. We also got the chapchae there also look less sesame oil. The only thing did right is the popcorn chicken. Service is good. Food is plain. Quantity is good.

Fried gyoza-delish! Yummy ramen - and they don't skimp! You get a whole egg, some wontons, tender charshu, and lots of shrimp in the curry shrimp ramen. The fried chicken is also very yummy! Hubby likes the spicy tonkatsu.

I'm not a big fan of Ramen places bur went here with some friends, the edamame egg rolls were.literally just exam wrapped in an egg roll wrapper, nothing too exciting. I would love to come back and get the hurricane fried rice my friend got, the picture doesn't do the size justice it was HUGE. I don't know if they make one with veggie rice but I hope they do because that's what I would try if I come back.

Pros:Clean interior and chill atmosphere. It's much better than the rest of the plaza to be frank.Good quick service.Fair prices.Wide range of Asian dishes.Cons:Sodas are called "fountain" drinks , yet they are sold a la carte for $2.95 each. Some menu descriptions are missing or vague. (Hurricane rice has none and most peoples picture on Yelp seems to show only a thin layer of eggs). The entree section is really centered around ramen and noodle soup dishes. (But not pho oddly enough) There are a plethora of Boba drinks.There was only one stir fry dish which I ordered.The dish I ordered -Jap Chos had a good portion of food. The beef was soft. However I couldn't really get much of a distinct flavor. Many Asian noodle dishes have a distinctive taste -pho or pad Thai or drunken noodles ,but this one felt very blah. There was no sweet element like Teriyaki,no hot/spicy vibe like Drunken noodles. I would have also liked more vegetables;there were slivers of carrots/onions and mushrooms but the taste of noodle was dominant. There is a Korean dish called japchae which is similar to this. It also has translucent sweet potato noodles. I don't know if this is supposed to be their take on it or a wholly new dish. I am not as familiar with Korean dishes so I cannot say. 6/10I struggled to finish this the next day for dinner sadly. If you're a super ramen fan, maybe you'll get more out of this place,but for me, once was enough.

Amazing.. spotlessly clean, attentive and proactive staff, orders fresh and hot from the kitchen.

Came in for hubs birthday dinner. We were late getting back to Tampa from St. Augustine and they were open so we came in. We were the only diners at 9pm but staff was so very nice. This place is always so clean, you can smell the cleanliness which I love. Greeted and served immediately. I got the Rain vegetable ramen with regular broth. It was so good! Highly recommend this place. Food is fresh and the quality is definitely there.

OMG the food here is so good!!!! It's always the places you least expect. The place is quaint and so clean. Our waiters were so attentive, fast, and courteous. Please get the hurricane fried rice, ypu won't be disappointed

First visit for lunch today, and definitely won't be the last! We ordered Curry Shrimp Ramen and Vegetable Ramen with Black Garlic broth, and both were delicious. They were huge servings in pretty bowls. The nice size shrimp were plentiful and cooked so perfectly, tender and juicy. The broth was delicious, not heavy on the curry, and included wontons and a healthy quantity of ramen noodles, also cooked perfectly. I only could finish half the bowl and took the rest home. The Black garlic stock of the Vegetable ramen was over the top flavorful, and the bowl was full of tofu puffs and veggies, and also Vegan without the egg. Also had a blueberry Jasmine tea with Boba, very tasty. My new Ramen place for sure since it's only 10 minutes away from me and can't think of a better tasting ramen at great prices.

Fried rice was tasty and place is very beautiful to have family dinners. Wish the dumplings were steamed than fried option.
