“ We love Rice Alley, especially the ramen soup. The vegetarian ramen is my favorite and the others like the chicken. We ask for the salty sauces on the side for health issues and it worked great. The fried cheesecake is absolutely delicious. And the freshness is definitely a bonus. My household highly recommends!! ”
“ Came in during lunch hour with lots of open seats which can be alarming but food was pretty good. Ramen had good soup and sushi quality is better than most. Worth the visit ”
“ We had takeout from here on a Sunday at lunchtime. The ramen with tonkatsu was good. The ingredients fit the ramen were delivered in a separate compartment from the rich ramen broth. The tonkatsu was in a separate container which kept it crispy instead of part of the ramen. ”
