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.

                                            Sitting outside, looking over at the bay from time to time, that was special. And then you add absolutely triumphant Asian local fusion and I don’t think I’ve had a better dinner in a long time. Great drinks, great service, a really cool spot to eat really well and celebrate.

                                            As much as we love the food in this absolutely beautiful restaurant, we regret the music is so upbeat and loud. We think a more mellow atmosphere would absolutely match the culinary experience and the space. Having said so, we have to say the bartender was amazing and very knowledgeable. Make sure to make reservations and once you arrive to the restaurant for your reservation, wait for hostess to seat you, no one else, or you might end up being escorted back to waiting area.

                                            First the valet never opened the car door, the hostess was very stand of ish, I had made this reservation a month in advance for my wife’s birthday and I ask for a specific table. That went out the window, because of the hostess attitude she sat us int the beginning of he restaurant less then ten feet from the bathroom. The air conditioning was hitting us on top of our heads so imagine how uncomfortable it was. The waiter Javier although very polite didn’t follow my order instructions, we ask for flat water he bought out sparkling, we ask for Congac he bought of Whiskey. When the food came out, it was extremely cold and on top of that, the air conditioning was now maker the food that much colder. So you could say my experience at the restaurant was not favorable and that my reasoning for the rating.
