The dining experience so good it’s nearly impossible to get a reservation.
Ditch your brunch plans — or any other plans for that matter — because chef Rasheeda Purdie is cooking up incredible combinations at her intimate 5 seat stall at Ramen by Ra in NYC.

Ramen by Ra has been on my Resy favorites list for a few months. Now that I’ve experienced the rich flavors and intimate dining experience, I can attest this restaurant is truly a gem. Admittedly, I’ve never considered NYC breakfast classics in the form of ramen before. The menu contains a revitalized asa-ramen topped with New York City’s breakfast favorites: thick cut bacon, gravlax with a cream cheese foam, or steak and soy egg.
While seated on a bar stool underneath the retractable roof I felt at ease, like that of your favorite local bar. Only instead of talking to your bartender about your plans for the weekend, I was struck by the precision and attention that Rasheeda placed in every bowl of ramen. I didn’t even want to speak. Marvel and excitement swept over my face. I thought to myself this is gonna be good.
I watched as she delicately placed the strips of steak onto the bed of noodle – careful not to disrupt the placement of the egg. From the first slurp to the last, the buttery noodle and umami broth was masterful. Ramen by Ra is a must-try serving up inviting, distinct and enjoyable ramen in NYC.
Live abundantly,
