Ramen By Ra is a $$ ramen spot with a strong public signal: 4.6 stars across 266 Google reviews, plus 39 all-time Blackbird on-chain check-ins from January 2024 through May 2025. The Blackbird crowd shows up most on Sundays and Thursdays, a useful tell for when this intimate setting has momentum.
The reviews point to a very specific appeal: a cozy, close-up setting and a ramen menu with a breakfast-style theme. One reviewer called it the best ramen they’d had after trying many ramen restaurants since 2016, praising the broth, noodles, and cream cheese foam; another admired the intimate chef-facing experience while wanting more dimension from the broth. Translation: go for the format, the personality, and the unusual flavor ideas—not a generic ramen checklist.
