RAYA by Mario Pagan San Juan Reviews

Tried to go today and seems it closed down? Was a different restaurant name at the door. Disappointed because I came last year and was looking forward to coming back.
Simply amazing!!! Another win by Chef Mario Pagan.
The service, the food and the restaurant is such a great experience. I highly recommend you visit any of Mario Pagan's restaurants.
Stop by for brunch.
Yummy drinks and a great view from the rooftop bar. Interesting vibe on the inside given the converted classic car, but a wee bit awkward given its size and entry directly into the main room from the elevator. I tried to make a reservation via e-mail but got no response. Out concierge was able to get us a spot. Best part of the ambiance was the tile work! Floors etc. Amazing.
Bravo 🙌 Magnifico!!! 🥂
We were here for a business group dinner and loved it so much we returned the following evening for a double delight of mouth-watering delights, superb service and beautiful ambiance! The second evening we had a drink upstairs on the patio to watch the sunset before heading to the beautiful dining room . I would be remiss if I didn’t make a special mention of the exemplary service by Ramos and Javier along with the entire team! They did such a spectacular job! There are so many wonderful selections on the menu that it is difficult to choose but Ramos provided wonderful suggestions! We look forward to returning the next time we are in Puerto Rico since it was the best dining experience we can remember!
The ambiance of this place was wonderful -- we sat outside
The ambiance of this place was wonderful -- we sat outside and were right by the water. For drinks we ordered the miso and strawberry lemongrass cocktails. We were given a sample of their mushroom soup for free. We ordered the green tea salmon and honey garlic chicharrón le mein, both were amazing but portions were smaller than expected -- especially considering the price. For dessert we ordered the date sticky pudding and really enjoyed it. Our waiter was very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu.
Amazing restaurant.
All the dishes were super delicious. The service is courteous and professional.
5 star food and service! Next level upscale Asian Latin
5 star food and service! Next level upscale Asian Latin Fusion! The located inside the trendy boutique O:LV hotel the restaurant follows the hotels lead in upscale decor and trendy music selection. Reservations are a must and I would suggest reservations inside because outside is was too hot and the view of a parking lot does not do the food or restaurant justice. What we ordered! Cocktail: Raya Mai Tai offered a unique take on a Mai Tai. The mint and coconut lead the parade of flavors for this interesting take on a classic cocktail. Short rib nachos- packed with flavor! Every nacho was perfectly stacked with just the right amount of ingredients wanting you to keep coming back for more! Plantain chorizo wonton - perfection! Not much more to say about this appetizer. Duck Pegao Fried Rice - duck confit, fried rice and sweet plantains were the outstanding trifecta of savory, salty and sweet flavors in every bite! The texture of the fried price and tender duck confit were a foodies delight. Mongolian Wagyu Brisket - tender no knife needed, melted in your mouth! The brisket had just the right amount of soy glaze, and was served with a bowl of fried white rice, kimchi, and sliced avocado. Surprise bonus compliments of the restaurant: Onion soup - served in a tiny bowl a little larger than a shot glass was a great way to get our taste buds ready for the main entrees. Dessert: Sticky Date Pudding with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream and topped with a Sesame Crisp Overall, the food was rich, decadent, and packed with flavor. The service was excellent! Staff was friendly, attentive and highly professional.
Best Dinner we had on our vacation
Best dinner we had. Went here with my wife and two daughters and we all enjoyed the sharable meals. It is a smaller restaurant and they definitely turned away people so make sure you have reservations.

Go here if you're looking for a good socializing spot with friends for drinks. Also I ordered a tequila soda. Besides that, the food selection is extremely underwhelming. Was very disappointed with the food selection.
Omg this place is freaking amazing! Such a gorgeous decor
Omg this place is freaking amazing! Such a gorgeous decor inside, so cool. The cocktails were awesome... so creative and tasty. The food though... wow. We tried a special, the tuna toro app... unbelievable! The short rib nachos and the jerk shrimp baos were also super delish! The lobster spring rolls were gigantic and stuffed with lobster... very pleasantly surprised that this tiny place off Condado would be this fabulous. Make ressies as it fills up. Enjoy!
It is a great place to have a culinary experience in terms
It is a great place to have a culinary experience in terms of new and old tastes with an extraordinary environment. The fusion of Asia with other international delights is exquisite!!!! Service was very good and very helpful, particularly in the area of cocktails.
Good place for a romantic dinner
What a good restaurant! Chef Mario Pagan provides a fusion of Caribbean and Asian food here. The restaurant is small but elegant. All the food was delicious, creative, and beautifully presented. Plates were of decent size and we didn't leave hungry. (Servers will tell you which entrees have bigger portions.) Service was definitely above the norm for the typical casual Caribbean experience: very attentive and professional. My water glass was always full. I recommend dining on the patio, which overlooks the bay. As night fell while we were there, the sunset was beautiful and the city skyline lit up after dark.
Food was great.
The service as in the waiter. Hellllll no we felt out of place with him. He never checked on us. My wife water was empty. Just kept walking past us to the other couples that didnt look like us Black. So we felt out of place.
Elevated and unique, rays was a highlight of our trip to
Elevated and unique, rays was a highlight of our trip to San Juan! If anything go for drinks. Told the bartender I was thinking a lychee martini would be good and he added his own twist to create a cocktail of my dreams! The plates were all small but very delicious, loved trying a bunch of different things. Bar was beautiful too
A Hidden Gem
Truly this is the best decorated place ! Vibe is so cool !! Gustavo @ the bar as a bartender/ mixologist is amazing! Dumplings …Duck….all of it …just YES!
Special San Juan Restaurant
Beautiful restaurant with professional device and out of this world cuisine. Loved the ahi and the excellence bartender. Perfect ambience.
Great Find In San Juan
One of my top five meals ever. Wonderful if you like a little bit of everything. Inventive, creative and even inspired cuisine. Highly recommend.
Asian seafood fuses with the Caribbean
Everything on the menu sounded fantastic. We followed the recommendations of our waiter, and we were ecstatic. First, we had a Sake and Gin Martini. Wow. Super light and refreshing. Next we had 4 appetizers. Truffle salted edamame, Ahi tuna on a patato croquet, pork dumplings, and the grilled cheese with chorizo. The grilled cheese was good, but the other 3 were exceptional. For dinner, we shared the roasted duck breast with crispy fried rice and plantains. Oh my, this was spectacular. For dessert, we finished with sticky toffee bread pudding. Great way to finish the night. Definitely will come back next time we visit Puerto Rico.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to RAYA by Mario Pagan San Juan at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the RAYA by Mario Pagan San Juan page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ImmortalStep65, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ImmortalStep65 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ImmortalStep65 for any questions Peter may have as ImmortalStep65 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ImmortalStep65 now uses their connections at RAYA by Mario Pagan San Juan to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ImmortalStep65 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ImmortalStep65 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ImmortalStep65's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at RAYA by Mario Pagan San Juan!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
