Raijin Ramen

Raijin Ramen in Lincoln is such a great addition to town. They’ve been open since August, but this was our first time going in—and it definitely won’t be our last. Honestly, I already know we’ll be back within the next couple of weeks. Henry was our server and he was awesome from the start. He welcomed us right away and was always around when we needed something without hovering. We ordered the gyoza (potstickers) to start, and they were a solid choice. For our main dishes, we both went with the Kara Miso Tonkotsu Ramen, and it did not disappoint. While we were waiting, Henry even brought out some sautéed veggies for us to snack on, which was such a nice and unexpected touch. After we finished eating, Henry brought over complimentary green tea ice cream, and it was the perfect way to end

Our visit was more of a disappointment, mainly because the restaurant has a 5-star rating on the map, which naturally sets high expectations. That’s exactly why we decided to come. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t match the rating. The soup was not tasty, some ingredients seemed over-frozen, and the corn was pale and felt overcooked. Overall, the food did not deliver the level of quality you would expect from a place with such a high rating.

I’m so happy to have somewhere this delicious and authentic close to home, everything on the menu I’ve had has been so good! My wife and I love coming here, Henry has been our waiter every time and he is so nice and very polite. The food always hits the spot, noodles cooked to perfection, very consistent quality. The restaurant has a fun vibe but is mostly warm and inviting. Always looking forward to coming again.

A cold evening made it the right time for a hot bowl of ramen. This was our my first visit, won’t be our last. Good flavors, good quality and excellent portions. Loved the pickled cabbage.

The service was extremely good. The ramen soup was delicious, and there were free appetizers and ice cream as well. It's definitely worth recommending.
