Rakkan Ramen

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Rakkan in Boulder last Sunday, and I have to say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Our server Hiro was exceptional—very funny and engaging, which made the dining experience even better.
He recommended the most delicious ramen on the menu, the number one option, and it did not disappoint.
The ramen was so good that I immediately told my friends, who were not at the restaurant at the time, to come and try it. Not only was the food incredible, but our server also showed us how to eat ramen like they do in Japan.
He taught us to taste the broth first, then eat half of the bowl before adding the spicy chili.
This added a unique and authentic touch to our meal. Throughout our meal, he kept checking on us to ensure everything was perfect, which we really appreciated.
His attentiveness and great sense of humor truly enhanced our visit. I can't wait to come back to Boulder just to dine here again.
Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing ramen and excellent service!

4/20/24-my mom and I were excited to try a new place in Boulder, but we're just disappointed.
The food was super bland and I got dirty looks from the staff when I added some of the chili oil to it.
Mine was also super oily even before I added the chili oil.
The bathroom was out of soap and felt neglected.
The service was horrible.
The wait staff was one male and one female, and they were to busy leaning against the counter talking to each instead of waiting on the customers.
I never got my water refilled and my mom had to really work to get the waitress' attention to get a refill of her soda.
There is better food and service elsewhere in Boulder.

Japanese quality.
If I had this bowl in Japan I would be happy.
The noodles are a highlight! I recommend ordering extra noodles.
My boyfriend is a huge ramen snob and he agrees with me that this place is JDM quality (with US prices, $40 before tip for two bowls).
We will be back!
