“ The food was amazing! The broth is so flavorful and balanced. I just wish they added little bit more protein that was the only downside of the meal. However it tasted delicious. ”
“ Authentic Ramen! I cannot stop telling people about how amazing this place is. Karai bowl has my soul, the smell when you enter this establishment has me drooling every time. The broth I would order a cup of to drink it’s that good. Y’all the UBE CHEESECAKE, not only is it savory, fluffy, not overly sweet it’s the prettiest color. I wish I would have taken a picture but my stomach won. Hands down the best. Service was impeccable and seemed to enjoy their job. ”
“ The wait to be seated was under 10 minutes but there are only a few tables so that's to be expected. Our server was super nice and the service was very fast. I got the Peanut Brisket Tantanmen and it was totally delicious. I definitely recommend trying this place out. ”
“ I don’t review places often, but my fiance and I will be moving out of the Jacksonville area, and we are really gonna miss this place. I cannot recommend Karai Ramen enough. Every time we’ve eaten here, it has been consistently amazing (and we have eaten here quite a bit). I have not been to another ramen place that can even compete with Karai, let alone top it. If you haven’t eaten here yet, what are you waiting for?! ”
“ The beef brisket in the miso ramen was to die for! It was fall apart tender and packed with flavor. Probably the best miso ramen I've ever had, props to whoever created that recipe! The katsu chicken was also a perfect mixture of crunchy exterior and moist interior. Our server, Noon, was very attentive and sweet. ”
“ Karai is so good, I've been coming here for years. It's always fun to take a newb here who has never dined at Karai before, & turn them into regulars as well. The broth has such a rich flavor no matter which ramen you decide to order, they are all scrumptious. I really like to check out the specials before ordering my go to ramen selections. Every special I've ordered ends up being so tasty. (You can find their specials on their website, and/or their instagram page. I always check both) End of last week I was here, and ordered their Tonkotsu Shoyu ramen. I added a little more protein to it from one of their suggested toppings (Japanese sausage). It was amazing! If you ever want to make your ramen a little spicy, you can always ask for a side of their chili oil and add in as much or as little as you'd like. The staff is always friendly, the food comes out pretty quick, and you always leave as one happy, satisfied customer. Karai also has a decent amount of drink selections too beer, sake, various hot teas. Recently I saw they have started to add more desserts. While visiting last week, I also tried their ube cheesecake. Super light and fluffy, fresh, not too sweet. It was a really good light dessert to add to an entree. I highly recommend trying one of their featured desserts. ”
“ Really Good Ramen Noodles soup, very tasty appetizers too. GI or to try in you in Jacksonville, the place. ”
“ Absolutely impeccable food and service! This is genuinely the most authentic Japanese ramen I’ve had- both in ambience and in their food- since going to Kumamoto years ago. I’ve been searching for a place like this forever! 10/10 will be making this my new go-to lunch spot! ”
