This is a great spot to grab ramen in the area. So good for a cold Winter's day! My partner and I dropped by a bit after peak lunch time and were seated right away. The menu is straightforward and while I am not a vegetarian, it was nice to see a good selection of vegetarian options. The ramen itself had really good flavor and everything was cooked well.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Had the chilli cucumber, karaage, Quartz (chicken based soup) and Ruby (miso prawn based soup). The sauce on the chilli cucumber was great, add more of the chilli oil that is provided on the table for more spice if you’d like. Maybe try smashing the cucumbers before tossing it in the sauce to let the sauce seep into the cucumber. Karaage was tasty and authentic. The soup for the quartz tasted more carrot forward, not sure if it is the standard recipe there but definitely heavy on the carrot. The soup for ruby tasted amazing, subtle prawn with umami flavours, well seasoned and balanced. Noodles were cooked well, not sure if the chashu was supposed to be an add on but we had chicken breast as the protein

I had an amazing experience at Rakkan Ramen! The RUBY Shrimp Miso was absolutely delicious – rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The shrimp were cooked just right, and the broth had that deep umami taste that makes you want to finish every last drop. The atmosphere was cozy and the service was friendly and fast. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!
