The quartz is just wooowww. Firstly to find a place that does vegetable broth was a win. Then, this meal is the perfect mix of hearty and delicious and satisfying! Highly highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic food and service. Nothing beats amazing ramen on a chilly night. They have a small outside seating option, though they deserve to have more space on cold nights. Absolutely LOVED both the Quartz and the Amber ramen options and their hot sake hit the spot perfectly. Can’t remember the server’s name, but that gentleman was absolutely fantastic on our night out with our pupp.

We were there for a dine in lunch. We ordered the Asian Spicy Ramen bowl with pork. The broth was flavorful and delicious, spicy yet not overly so, with the right smog heat. The other entree we got was the small rice bowl with chicken. This was also very delicious, the chicken was fried but not oily at all, and cooked to perfection. The entree tasted very fresh.

Fantastic food. The ramen is flavorful and the noodles are thick with a nice chewy texture. Highly recommend but just be aware the parking lot gets packed really quickly

I ordered the quartz. It was mildly spicy and tastes rich and umami as it should. I got chicken fried rice to-go. I wasn’t used to the thigh meat not being chopped up and incorporated. It was good though. Nice servers.

Had an amazing meal at Rakkan Ramen! The pork fried rice was delicious and full of flavor. Our server, Viet, was super friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!

Great Ramen, their noodles are actually not as hard as the ones from Jinya ramen, there are moist and well blended into their broth. The flavor is a 9/10 not overwhelming and tasty. I ordered their Garnet.

This was the best spot we ate at while in Houston. Ramen was SO flavorful and delicious, it was a generous portion, and the service was attentive. Makes my mouth water just reminiscing! I got spicy miso, the other one was creamy and had chicken but i forgot the name. The tokoyaki balls were also really good! Would definitely come back !

I really like the broth to their spicy ramen. I've tried many and for some reason this one is memorable to me. It's thick, creamy and just hits the spot. The poke bowl isn't bad, the scallops and salmon were yummy! Great experience and we would go back!

Great location, friendly greeting and service, fast delivery of entrees, super clean premises; delicious food! Appetizers were very good - the spicy cucumber was good (perhaps it can be sliced thinner?); crispy and flavorful chicken karaage and the salmon tartare (only wish was that the wontons were just a bit more golden) Went for the classic Amber ramen; nice broth, hot broth but not mouth burning, love the thin noodles and overall a very good bowl of ramen! Staff were constantly cleaning tables and chairs, even though it was jam-packed and I liked that.

Quaint little restaurant tucked in a strip mall on 6th and Shepherd. Be careful when driving on 6th St as it could be a bit tight going in and out since there were cars parked on both side at the time we visited (5 pmish). We were greeted when we walked in and was directed to sit anywhere. It was happy hour and ordered chicken karage and beef gyoza. Chicken karage came with an in house made creamy Sriracha sauce which had a nice kick enough to make my nose run. Both apps came out fresh and hot...very tasty too. My son enjoyed the sushi flight which contained Aburi Salmon and Aburi Hotate (scallops). The star of our evening dinner were the ramen bowl. Each of my family ordered different ramen bowl. I ordered the Garnet substituted thick for thin noodles. My family ordered the shoyu, Ruby and Spicy Ruby. For my ramen bowl, the broth was rich and flavorful with a seasoned egg (slightly creamy yolk), 2 thin slices of pork chashu (not as tender as i thought it would be), small pieces of cabbage and raw onions, few bean sprouts, and topped with green onions and fried onions. I should have added veggies but forgot. Overall I did enjoy the ramen but when I got home it didn't sit right (if you know what I mean). Service was friendly and attentive but I have mixed feelings about returning since my family also had the same issue when we arrived home.

Server offered an exceptional service, she was very attentive. Food was delicious, it would be great if they could offer more ramen options. I liked how quiet the place is, they had music on a good volume so we were able to have a conversation and a good time.

All of the ramens are similar in being both bland, yet possessing a strange artificial taste that eludes description. When it comes to the differences between them, they are insignificant enough that none of them stand out as much better than the others. The pearl ramen has a thin film of oil on it, the garnet tastes like the dishwater from a pot used to make French onion soup, and the amber has a fishy taste that turns out to be caused by… you guessed it, fish. Turns out that 100% vegan thing was a lie, yet even when cheating by using an animal product for flavor, Rakkan still manages to be less flavorful than instant ramen from the gas station. The worst ramen, however, is the quartz. It is quite thick and creamy. Don’t make the mistake of asking your server how this is achieved using vegan ingredients. They don’t want to tell you and you don’t want to know. In fact, nearly every question seems to put the waiters on edge. Ask about the noodles and they will tell you that handmade actually means manufactured in a warehouse and shipped in. Ask for your ramen egg to be cooked more or less and they will admit the eggs are boiled in massive batches in the morning and kept in a giant, refrigerated tub until it's time to be served. Ask about cross contamination for your food allergy and they will fearfully tell you they can promise nothing. Anything else you can think to ask will probably result in a two dollar upcharge, like if you want more than two of the sad pieces of pork chashu that float dispassionately in your soup. So the ramen is a bust, but it’s okay, because those appetizers are finally coming out and the presentation is pretty good. The gyoza, which can only be ordered fried, come in a veggie and a pork variety. The steamed shumai are filled with shrimp. Both taste decent, but also hauntingly familiar to the identical versions of themselves that are sold in bulk in the frozen aisle of Costco… The fried chicken karage was a decent mix of juicy and crispy on your first few visits. However, a change in recipe (or, more likely a change in frozen food supplier) has resulted in the breading attaining a sawdust-esque texture, and the whole plate gaining a predominant taste of burnt fryer oil. The sushi is about as fresh as the restaurant’s decor (there is none, just plain gray stone walls with the blue RAKKAN logo scattered around) and tastes like food poisoning waiting to happen. All meals at Rakkan are quick, since the waiters seem desperate to push you out the door. The general atmosphere in Rakkan is one where everybody is shoveling their frozen gruel down as fast as possible after taking photos of the misleadingly aesthetic presentation. Nobody, from the skittish waiters, to the cooks complaining loudly in the kitchen, to the patrons, seemingly want to be there, and if you go, you probably won’t either. And yet, the cause of your disappointing dinner has a whopping 4.8 stars on Google. Something fishy is going on here, and it’s not just the discoloured scallops… Finally, you walk out with your check. Make sure you’ve read the receipt, because the waiters will often overcharge you for miscellaneous things you did not order, like a side of spicy miso paste that you never knew existed. You take a deep breath, feeling vaguely queasy, but there is one more surprise- one could say the cherry on top, though here they would probably charge you three dollars extra for that. Right before you leave, a cockroach scatters across the floor and into the kitchen. You inform the waiter and are candidly told that since their opening, they have had an infestation. While disgusting, it is nice that at least one species on this planet enjoys Rakkan’s food. When you first spotted this quiet ramen spot with its stunningly good reviews and mouthwatering photos, you wondered if it was a hidden gem among a row of overbearing restaurants. After visiting, though, you realize it is more fitting to describe it as a hidden cockroach among a row of places infinitely more pleasant to dine at.
