The ramen here is always so fresh and tasty. They accommodate to anything you don’t want in your ramen. The chicken karaage is always cooked to perfection, and the service is exceptional every time. It’s also a very pretty restaurant in my opinion. I love bringing people here.

Pirate captain is a quirky Asian and seafood restaurant. The decor is pirate-themed as the name suggests and they serve ramen. This place has the best ramen in the Chapel Hill area in my opinion, but options are limited in that geography. The ramen itself is a solid bowl and good go-to, but nothing extravagant to write home about. Better Asian food lies in Cary.

One of my favorite restaurants on Franklin Street! It’s one of my go-to places for lunch and dinner during a school day as well. The Tontsu Ramen is so delicious as well as other ramens I’ve tried there. The price is good for the portion and the poke bowl is pretty good too! I prefer the eel sauce for the poke bowl.

The best ramen restaurant in RDU! Although the restaurant does not look fancy, the ramen noodles are so good! Broth is super umami and I have never had any ramen noodles coming with SEVEN WHOLE PIECES OF THICK-CUT CHASHU! Plus, after drinking the soup, you can feel that your lips are super sticky, meaning that they use real pork bone and chicken feet to make the broth, NOT making from concentrate! They really make Dashi and M Kokko in Durham look overpriced as hell.

Best Ramen I’ve had!!! We also ordered takoyakis and they were good as well but wow I was so blown away by the Ramen. The mushrooms were so delicous. They were so soft and juicy. Ive never had such good mushrooms before! I was amazed. I went there with my husband and the waitress was great too. I looked around and loved how they cooked right there, and that there’s a more private room for maybe a friend or family celebration who wanted to be in a room together. Also very cool with the drinks and poke bowl area as well. It’s a very cool concept and I will be coming back whenever I’m in town again!

We got takeout after a long mri so I was looking forward to a delicious poke dinner. The bowls they had weren’t the best and some had chicken of all things. It also tasted fishy. Overall not the best but when we went inside to pick up the aesthetic was very nice. Takoyaki was delish tho

I have gotten both take out and eaten in at Pirate Captain and have loved it every time. The Veggie Ramen is amazing, with or without spice. Also, the gyoza is delicious! The service is great, all of the employees are happy to be there. I 100% recommend!

Cozy dining environment. The soup base is very good, the portion is probably double to other ramen stores in Cary/Raleigh. The tonkatzu meet is a bit dry but the gyudon ramen is very good.
