Our strikingly designed Caribbean Asian restaurant brings the spirit of Asia to the heart of Puerto Rico. Let us take you into a vibrant world of fresh fusion food created by our locally famous chef, Mario Pagan. Avocado chili drops, tuna poke pegaito or spiced adobo kurobuta ribs are some of the recipes inspired by the flavors of Thailand, Vietnam, Korea & Japan. Experience the passion of the chef in a lively atmosphere and a dramatic setting furnished with marble patterned floors in the first floor of O:LV Fifty Five.

Be dazzled by our Sake and Japanese whiskey infused cocktails or let our expert mixologists create a bright combination of flavors for you! It’s a truly one-of a kind experience, where sharing is encouraged and superb is required.

Our dress code is casual elegant. No shorts/flips flops allowed.

Your table will be reserved for 2 hours. We have a 15 minute grace period for all tables. NOTE: When booking outdoor seating, it is for the terrace at RAYA, not ARYA Rooftop.

We had an amazing time celebrating our anniversary at this restaurant. From start to finish, everything was perfect! Gustavo crafted delicious cocktails for us, paying attention to just a few details of what we liked, and they were absolutely spot-on. Aramis, was incredible – he took such great care of us throughout the night and made us feel right at home. Every member of the staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even more special. As for the food, it was nothing short of amazing. Each dish was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and truly satisfying. I would recommend this place 100%!

Arrived for our reservation for a table of 40 for my girlfriends 30th birthday. When the hostess sat us there were only 2 seats at the table. The hostess apologized and said she would bring us more. About 10 minutes of half our party standing around went by and I went back and asked if they forgot about us. They then brought two chairs out. They could have easily made it right but they didn’t care. There were 0 apologies. Also we waited 20 minutes for one cocktail and one Diet Coke. Didn’t have those drinks for our appetizers. No apologies again. Also made note that it was a birthday, but they didn’t do anything with regard to birthday candle on dessert until asked. Super disappointing. Food was great though.

Everything is excellent. The waiter should not say the amount to be paid. Just show who will pay. The special guest should not know the cost. Only those who pay for dinner.

Spent $28 on two tacos. They were delicious, but not $14 per pork taco delicious. Tacos usually come in 3's so I was shocked.

El lugar estaba maravilloso, decoraciones únicas y un ambiente calmado. Último pero no menos importante, la comida desde lo primero que pedimos hasta lo último todo sabía increíble. The place was wonderful, with unique decorations and a calm atmosphere. Last but not least, the food, from the first thing we ordered to the last it tasted incredible.

The decor and the cocktails are the real standouts at Raya. Food is solid but like many fusion places sometimes falls a little short while trying to be innovative. Good service, lively vibe
