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.

                                          Raya impresses with its "outstanding service" and "creative" culinary offerings, providing a unique dining experience. The ambiance is "very classy and elegant," complemented by a beautifully decorated space with great views.

                                            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.

                                            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.

                                            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

                                            The food was delicious and our server, Aranis, was very knowledgable of the menu and the food and drinks and explained everything in detail. He made our dinner experience even better!
