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.

Our first visit to Condado for my fiancé’s birthday led us to Raya on recommendation from a local friend. This was one of the very best restaurant experiences we have had all over the world. Mario Pagan is a PR legend. This Asiatic Caribbean theme brought is delicious and uniquely creative dishes in full and appetizer sizes. The crisp lobster and crab spring rolls, seared tuna and Wagyu rib nacho starters were each fantastic. We both ordered the sea bass special which was perfect. The chocolate filled mini cannolis were also completely unique and delicious. Mariangela was fully attentive despite a full house. Her recommendations were all excellent. And the birthday candle finish was beautiful and thoughtful We had two excellent bottles of wine - a 2014 Ribero and a 2015 Rioja reserva. Each was special. I hate to write this but the wine prices were as they should be - reasonable enough to allow us to enjoy both bottles. We would definitely return to Raya or to try another Pagan restaurant. Highly recommended.

We came here for my younger brothers birthday not really knowing what to expect but it exceeded our expectations. The ambiance was perfect. classy n cute. the food was delicious. The flavors were very strong but sharing the food family style is perfect for counterbalancing that. the Miso Grouper (i believe it was) was my favorite. We finished with the Donut dessert that was probably the best dessert i’ve ever had. The service five stars our sever was so cool & relaxed. i asked them to add a candle last minute for his dessert & they did. 10/10 would recommend.

I had not visited Raya since the pandemic and I can say that the service, the quality of the food, the dishes and the presentation were quite a culinary experience.

Excellent service and food! We had champagne in Arya Rooftop before our dinner in the 6th level of the hotel which was a great start and they communicated with Raya to let us know when our table was ready. The food at Raya was awesome, we all shared and enjoyed 5 starters and 4 main courses. The food is an asian and puertorican fusion, very creative and tasty. Dessert and cocktails were just as awesome.

The food presentation looks great, but it's really not that tasty to be honest. Idk why they thought that seating me and my 73-year-old mom next to a drunk group partying was a great choice but we were switched over to outside seating after a while due to the blasting AC unit we were stuck under and of course the noise. The group kept apologizing for the noise, and we understood but we just didn't feel like it was a great place for us to be seated next to.

This was my firts time at Raya and what a great experience, food was delicious. We had to seat outside because there was no reservations available inside, and even though there was little noise with the cars passing back and forth, the food experience was so good that we didn't mind. The truffle edamame was really good so definitely recommend. Main dishes we had tuna poke bowl, pork belly and mongolian kobe brisket, they were all delicious, brisket a little dry but great flavor and huge serving. We had all 3 desserts recommended by our server who by the way was awesome, pudding, yuzu cream rolls and buñuelos, there was no leftovers, right amount of sweetness and delicate flavors. Lovely dinner all together. Will definitely return.
