Reviews for Rai Rai Ken + Curry Ya + Otafuku in New York, NY
Went on a sat evening without reservation, got a table for three in under 20 minutes, it was quite busy and crowded. Ordered... Kara-Age, Katsun buns and chicken curry. Everything tasted amazing. The curry is not that spicy but it is very refreshing. Theservice is fast and prices are reasonable given the quantity. Great place overall. Read more
I ordered the Shoyu Ramen (4/5) The broth had a medicinal herbal taste which was pleasing as not ramen locations doesn?t have... this taste. I was told the broth taste better with salt and it was in fact true where the medicinal taste was replaced with arich-savory flavor. The chasiu was tender but a little dry in the middle, though still good. My boyfriend ordered the PorkKatsu Curry (4/5) The curry sauce was a little chunky when pouring but tasted really good. The Katsu was still had some textureas the sauce covered it. Our friend ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry He eats a lot, he ate 50+ sushi in a AYCE and the fact thathe said it was filling is a great compliment. The dish includes 2 portions of chicken Katsu. Though I haven?t tried it, it didlook good. We all shared a shrimp okonomiyaki (4.5/5): great flavor and good thickness. We weren?t overwhelm with the battertaste, great proportions overall. One thing I would say is, not much of the shrimp flavor itself and I do like a bit moretexture in it. (We we?re so hungry so camera didn?t eat first for the picture) ???????? Overall, experience was great and Iwould definitely come back to try their other dishes!!! Read more
Got the baked curry, and it was solidly flavorful. The cheese added a nice dimension along with the garlic chips. The curry... could have been slightly more spicy, but it at least had a little. A little pricy, but I'll be back. Read more
Best ramen in New York City. So many options to choose from. The service is great and it?s so clean. This place is a great place... to indoor and outdoor dine. The food comes really fast too. You must try the ramen. The artwork is really cool. In the photobelow I showed a few pages of the menu. Overall I would highly recommend this place. Read more
The curry is the best I tasted so far. Great ???????? The place is cute, and you can have your meal solo without feeling... uncomfortable, the bar table in front of the kitchen is great, see picture. Only a small practical comment, in wintertime it isquite cold every time the door opens, so maybe do something about that? Maybe an additional curtain outside? Just an idea. Willbe back for sure!!

Been coming here since 2000. Ramen is oldschool and wholesome. Chicken Katsu buns are delicious but pricy. Chashu is fresh,... grilled beautifully. Takoyaki is great too! Read more
Ordered: berkshire pork culet Pretty much any average curry franchise in Japan will taste better. 1. Oil temperature is too... high when the pork culet is fired, which resulted in a very very hard crust. Is like eating captain crunch cereal, it willscratch the the roof of your mouth. 2. The 'berkshire pork' Is wayyyy too lean. No fat at all... Which Is not ideal for porkculet, without the fat, flavor Is very bland. Read more
