Rayaki Ramen Cottman Philadelphia

First impressions upon walking in were that this place is impeccably decorated! I’m not even into anime and I could tell the decor was extremely well done. The atmosphere if you’re in to anime / pokemon is amazing. Our server was so sweet and took great care of us, remembering all of the details of our order. She was extremely attentive. The food was top notch. Among our table, we had taro milk tea, gyoza, tonkotsu ramen, shoyu ramen, and spring rolls. The gyoza was so fresh and crispy. Everything was fresh and delicious; I’m pretty sure even the noodles are made in house. Overall an excellent experience.

Atmosphere of the restaurant was 10/10! Love the anime drawings on the wall. Service was great, I got the 1. Rayaki fries and 2. black garlic ramen and 3. strawberry green tea. They were all so good! The ramen noodles were perfectly cooked and bouncy, the meat was very soft, a little too fatty but it tasted really good! Sauce on the waffle fries was very tasty! And the strawberry green tea tasted authentic, whereas it had a strong green taste and they added real strawberries to it! One of my top favorite strawberry green tea! On top of that, it is all reasonably priced!!!

This was a last minute trip. And it was a great decision. The food was freshly done. They knew we was trying new foods on the menu. And was very attentive to see if we enjoyed it. When leaving we had spent over a certain amount. So they offered a free item. We chose to have our item for next time. Then we received a cute card for next time plus candy.

I really wanted to love this place. Sadly ehh it wasn't my favorite. The ramen lacked flavor. I expected more flavor in the ramen broth, especially since it was a pork base. I was given a complimentary spring roll which also lacked flavor. Sticky rice & shrimp skewer was the best tasting thing I ordered. I don't care to return ill stick to my other ramen spot.

Absolutely amazing food. The curry chicken katsu is amazing. 10/10 no notes. I always order take out and it never fails. The pork belly is phenomenal as well! The iced teas are pretty great too.
