rai rai ken


new york, ny

derek and i were wandering the east village on a friday night trying to find a place to eat that didn't have a long wait. redhead had an hour+ wait and there was no room to wait at the bar. momofuku noodle bar was so packed we didn't even bother asking. derek was craving ramen and i remembered a friend had told me about rai rai ken, so we decided to try it out.

derek loved that it reminded him of the ramen bars we visited in japan. corn might be one of my favorite foods and i love that it was an optional add-in at rai rai ken. although that's about all that this place has going for it. it's a good spot if you're in the neighborhood and you absolutely can't wait for momofuku or ippudo or are too lazy to walk to ramen setagaya.
