Score 85/100 · Order: Tonkotsu black or tsukemen · $16–21
RakiRaki spreads itself across ramen, tsukemen, sushi, and izakaya plates, which costs it a little focus. But the tsukemen is genuinely excellent: dense dipping broth, thick chewy noodles, and a well-designed room that works for a date in a way most ramen shops don't.
Local tip: Get the tsukemen in summer — the dipping broth is concentrated and the cold noodles hold up better.
Score 82/100 · Order: Sushi combo or hand rolls · $25–50
Rakiraki is primarily a ramen shop, but the sushi combo holds its own for the price. The hand rolls are made to order, the fish is fresh, and the portions are generous. It is not a specialist sushi destination, but it is a reliable option when your group wants both ramen and sushi in one stop. The Convoy location is busy and loud, and the menu is broad enough that everyone can find something. Order the sushi combo as a side to a bowl of tonkotsu for a full Convoy dinner.
