Okay this was no joke some of the best food I've had EVER. The chicken Koragge ramen was off the charts, I've been craving it ever since. The service was also exceptional!

You can never go wrong with Pirate Captain Ramen. We are regulars here, and they have always been consistent. Our favorite is their Tonkatsu ramen with pork belly. They have one of the best broth and pork belly I've had.

Good food and pleasant atmosphere. The restaurant was a bit packed and it appeared as if there was one server and one helper. Pretty stressful and overwhelming for the staff. Food was very

Probably the best in RDU but the pork belly still tastes slightly stale

This is a great ramen place, possibly one of the best in the triangle. Most ramen places here the broth is more on the salty side, this is the only place where the seasoning and flavor was on point bringing out the most flavorful broth.Tried the miso and tonkotsu broths and both were amazing and flavorful.Their spicy add-on side has a very nice kick and flavor to it.All in all will be going back whenever a ramen craving arises

My wife and I LOVE Pirate Captain. It's some of the most reasonably priced, but delicious ramen in the area. They also have the best pork belly in the triangle. It's almost impossible for me to get anything else on the menu because it's so freaking good. The pirate decor is a little bit of a weird choice, but Im on board with it now.

Best ramen and takoyaki in the area!! The ramen broth was super rich, though I do wish they would include a whole perfectly jammy egg instead of half. The karaage was a superb addition to ramen. The Takoyaki were super flavorful and topped with generous helpings of bonito flakes. Looking forward to trying out their other dishes.

I had the Tonkatsu Ramen, and it was super delicious. Also had a tasty plate of Edamame, though I like mine with more seasoning than just the salt they put on it.

Don't let the unique name deter you from trying this solid Ramen spot. They cleverly blend the name with a nautical theme in their decor. The lunch specials include a beverage, and the portion sizes are huge. I ordered the Tonkotsu ramen and enjoyed my meal. Check it out for your ramen fix if you're in the area.
