“This place is great! The shoyu egg was BY FAR the best I have ever had. Didn’t even know they could taste like that. Noodles are hand made, just like my favorite at ramen ryoma. The chashu pork just melted off my chopsticks, it was incredible. Wasn’t expecting to find such a hidden gem in this small store center.“
“We were blown away by the flavor of the ramen. It was absolutely amazing and authentic, just as good as any good ramen you could have in Japan.The chicken karaage was also pretty impressive— tender and juicy.This would be on our recommendation list for people craving for ramen in Portland.“
“We have the impression that Japanese restaurants are expensive while not offering authentic taste, but the chef here has good taste. Lunch prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is elegant. We had the Braised Pork Belly, Tonkatsu Curry, and Bento Box (Salmon Teriyaki, California Roll, and Shrimp Tempura). Unfortunately, the shrimp tempura in the bento box was a 'deep fried shrimp' than Japanese TEMPURA, and the cutlet in the curry was disappointingly thin and lacked juiciness. Additionally, red pickled ginger is not used in Japan, as it tends to overshadow the curry's flavor. If FUKUJINZUKE, a classic curry accompaniment, is unavailable, it might be better to serve the curry without any side. (By the way, red pickled ginger makes an excellent garnish for beef bowls.??) The staff was so pleasant.?✨“

The friendly staff enhances the overall experience, ensuring each visit is met with warmth and hospitality, making it a must-visit destination for foodies in Portland.“
“I will have to give them a second chance. I didn't want to eat chicken, but their dishes looked good, I asked if I could swap out the chicken for prawns, the cashier suggested an option, but what I got was only rice and prawns. Disappointing.“
“I love this place. I kept telling myself for years to go there every time I was at Uwajimaya, and never got around to it. Now I'm kicking myself for having not gone sooner. The service is awesome, the ramen is delicious and I can get in and out on time for my hour long lunch and have time to spare.Parking: Shares the parking lot with Uwajimaya.Kid-friendliness: They have booster seats and high chairs!Wheelchair accessibility: Has a ramp outside and they have tall and shorter tables for a variety of seating.“
“I came with my parents and my brother and the staff were very polite and friendly. The robot was very cute and it was a nice surprise. The food was SO yummy and I would love to come again. My waiter was Via, she was very inviting and hard working. I very highly recommend this restaurant.Kid-friendliness: They were very child Friendly, and very sweet and kind to my little kid brother.“
“Senyo by Ramen Ippo is the best ramen in Portland. Dice is absolutely amazing at what he does.His tan tan is incredibly well balanced. The broth is almost creamy, yet so smooth. Very satisfying on a cold, wet day.Their garden ramen is fresh, healthy. We get it a little spicy (level 3 out of 5).Go early so you can get one of his amazing eggs!Six stars out of five!“
“Nom nom nom. Their seasonal salad is ALWAYS DELICIOUS. Throw some fried chicken or avocado on there? Gold. Steam buns are to die for. Try them all. But my faves are the miso mushroom and the fried chicken. Ramen is great, rice bowls are great. You really can’t go wrong. Atmosphere is fine but I usually get it to go. Cocktails are okay.“
“Well dang it! Just when I thought I had my ramen hierarchy figured out! Now I have to completely rejigger the results of several years worth of research. Kayo's is amazing!!! I'm not normally a tofu fan, but the tofu in the cold noodle dish, Chili Garlic Noodles blew me away! And my dish of Snow Ramen just outta this world.“
“It is one of the best ramen you will find and at an extremely affordable price. The taste and portion are the best for the price. Accompanied by a free hot tea. The service is excellent and since it is inside an Asian supermarket you can walk around to find special things to take away.“
“This place was amazing. We had their black garlic ramen and spicy garlic ramen. It was packed with flavors and on point. . Service was fast and friendly. It is located at Pine Street Market food hall. We would recommend this place to anyone that likes being in downtown. Amazing place!“
“Second time being here and I gotta say it's amazing. Food is great, prices are decent and the servers are very nice. Only thing I can say if it's packed then seating may be a lil bit uncomfortable but not that bad. Overall great place to eat ramen. Highly recommend.“
“My favorite sushi place in the area. The servers are all so sweet and the food is excellent. The ramen is amazing too, which is surprising considering ramen at sushi bars usually feels more like an afterthought. I’m a frequent customer here and I’ve yet to ever have any issues.“
“New menu means new items, possibly too many? The maramen was extremely spicy! If you can't handle ghost pepper heat, I wouldn't try it. It laterally gave me heartburn! The karaage (Japanese fried chicken) was burnt and definitely tasted it. But the tonkatsu ramen was perfect. And of course the service is always good here.“
“The food was really good! The service was also good everything was good. (By the ten year old).The adults enjoyed the sake and everyone enjoyed the ramen.Vegetarian options: Tofu appetizer, kimchi and cheese roll appetizer, salad appetizer, and vegetarian ramen.“
“One of the best ramen experiences I have had since living in Portland. Erica, behind the counter, could not have been more amazing. Extremely accommodating and helpful. This place offers the at home atmosphere with a Japanese twist. Large portions, offers a great bang for your buck and yet still delicious. I will be back for sure.“
“I've been here twice now and the food has been consistently good. First time I got the Cali burrito which was tasty, but I do wish the fries were just a little crispier. They seemed just a little undercooked. Second time I got the super nachos with chicken and they were good. A ton of food for a good price. Service is also consistently great and I love all their salsas. Definitely want to come back and try the ramen and queso taco next time.“
“Went here for the first time this week and it was AMAZING. We came in during a week day later in the night and we practically had the place to ourselves, our waiter Karra had superb service. The food was delicious to say the least and the menu had a good variety of options to choose from. The atmosphere was also great, very calm, dim, and somewhere you can get lost talking while eating for hours. We ordered veggie ramen, hello kitty (must try), and miso soup!“
“I absolutely love this restaurant! Not only do I love to eat at this restaurant. I order very often the food quality is spectacular! I am very picky with my food and usually stick to on particular dishes but with this restaurant I try everything ! I’m British and of course we love tea ! I tried the lychee green tea ? Wowza super impressed! My absolute favourite ? is the potato croquettes ! And spicy Ramen ? with a lovely soft runny egg ? hot pork broth that warms your bones on a cold day ! I love wholesome food that gives you a good feeling ! That means been made with love so Thank you to my favourite ? restaurant your biggest fan ?“
“My favorite food cart was closed today, so I tried something new, the Teppanyaki Hut. Quick and friendly service to order. Our meals were prepared quickly for a short wait. We ordered the Shrimp Tempura Bowl and a Double Dragon Sushi Burrito, Both were amazing. I highly recommend this food cart on Mississippi St.“
“I’ve been coming to this ramen house for years and a couple of things are for certain:1. The food is always yummy and consistent in flavor2. Staff is always friendly3. Atmosphere is always chill and relaxThat being said, I have noticed that portions have shrunk to a degree but other than that this place is a great location to check out when it comes to ramen ?.“
“First time trying the yuzu miso ramen broth. It had a subtle yuzu flavor and was perfect for a cold afternoon. The staff was friendly. Overall anytime I'm in the area and crave a quick comforting bowl of ramen, this will be my goto place.“

“I took my coworkers for a lunch here as a group of 10+. The service was excellent and the attention to the customers was on-point (waters, utensils, ordering, etc.).The group ordered edamame, kaarage chicken, calamari for appetizers. The appetizers were all great and shareable (should have grabbed more kaarage as they went out first).I ordered the tonkotsu ramen with pork. As someone who frequently been to ramen shops in the Beaverton area and some in Japan, the taste was great. The pork was well marinated and just melts in your mouth. Soft boiled egg was also marinated and was a treat when opened introducing a jammy yolk. The other toppings also add depth ? (bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, etc).For dessert, I would highly recommend the matcha Panna cotta. A pleasant way to end a meal by its subtle creamy sweetness and a hint of bitterness from the matcha. Compliments to the chef.I highly recommend Koku Ramen and Bites to my coworkers. Hopefully they will become regulars like me.“
“The food was pretty good. I had the garlic tonkatsu ramen which was very rich. My husband had the karage bento bowl and he said it was pretty good. The only issue we had was with the service. I think they only had 1 person working the dining room so it took a long time for us to put in our order. She also got my order mixed up with another table's so there was a lot of back and forth in the process. She was very nice and apologetic though. So I'd recommend this restaurant but only if you're not in a hurry, or go outside of the normal meal times.“
“Ordered take out, it is so good!I was excited for the rice burger cause I haven’t seen that in a while! And it did not disappoint ?My personal favorite is the treasure island roll, the seared salmon sushi donut is so good too!! ?I’m ready for food coma“
“A quaint little ramen shop. Got that hole in the wall vibe. The most incredible coconut miso ramen. Everything I've tried from their menu is first rate but that ramen is on a whole other level. 12 of 10. Try this ramen. Seriously one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth.“
“We like our sushi rolls, salmon, seaweed salad, and miso soup. We would probably pass on ordering the calamari again (just too much crunchy breading to calamari meat ratio). Service was good and very friendly, but water and iced tea were not refilled. We would return again as food and friendly service were good.“
“This is a great spot! The main draw for me is the cocktails - the new bar manager has put a ton of effort and creativity into the menu, and there are a lot of amazing drinks that even the nerdiest cocktail aficionado would appreciate. I'm celiac and there is really only one option on the menu, so I don't know that I'll be back for that reason. The atmosphere is bit loud, but my husband's ramen and the drinks were fantastic.“
“Quality has declined over the years. I'm still a fan but am actively looking for a replacement. It's not a good sign when the bar staff talk negatively about the kitchen service/quality for the night. Why would I want to hear about the new cook dishing out dry and bland food as I wait for my meal? I almost canceled and walked after hearing this. I probably should've.“
“The chicken and kimchi blew us away! Crunchy, the right amount of spicy, juicy. We weren't looking for it but it found us. It's also in The Zipper, which is a great food court with lots of options and good drinks. They were really cool, highly recommend.“
“This place offers a small menu with delicious ramen. We tried the tonkatsu ramen which is filled with meat and a medium poached egg. There's some black garlic oil to amp up the flavor. I still prefer soft/medium boiled egg for ramen as it's easier to eat. The overall flavor was good. Don't forget the crispy potstickers. The atmosphere is cozy and hip with living plants on the walls and Japanese fabric framed like art. A full bar is centered in the restaurant but we didn't have any drinks.“
“Delicious food! I tried multiple dishes, and every single one of them was so good! The rice bowls and ramen are a great price and will definitely fill you up! The small plates are also great appetizers such as the gyoza, which was absolutely delicious! The restaurant is very nice as well it has a great ambiance. Also the service was super quick! We got our food within 5 minutes of ordering and they were so fresh and so good!“
“Best Bulgogi around!!The bulgogi rice is incredible! The portion is perfect and the price is incredibly reasonable! The sliced avocado and ginger that come with it are such a great pairing.I've had the ramen before and it is decent enough, but it's the bulgogi rice for me! I get it a few times a month.Charming interior, great mood lighting, friendly chill staff, in a cute part of Sellwood. 5 stars, love you Nama!Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian main and side dishes.“
“The soup’s always amazing. Great service. I usually enjoy their food in Beaverton, this first time to try at downtown after we spent time the first day of Lunar New Year in China town and i was surprised that they have vegan ramen. It’s totally awesome!Parking: There’s a parking lot opposite restaurant with fee.Kid-friendliness: My daughters enjoy their menu and they totally want to get back again.“
“Food was decent. I love the vegetarian ramen - it is on the sweet side, due to the coconut milk and maeploy curry paste but I really enjoy it.We sat at the bar seats in front of the entrance and where they prepare all of the to go orders.After having dropped off our mains, our server never came back. Never quality checked. There were multiple people right in front of us for at least 15 minutes after we have finished eating, and we had to ask for the check and to go boxes for our leftovers. Having been a server for many years, I know how challenging it can be - but this service was well below subpar. Perhaps it was a fluke, and we caught them on an off night. I will go back but if the service is the same, I will definitely take my business elsewhere. There are a lot of ramen restaurants in Portland to choose from.“
“The team that works here is so incredible! They are all so sweet and always go above and beyond. You can tell they genuinely care and want to have happy customers. This is a fun, quick, and chill spot to stop in or get to-go. The Thai tea is so delicious and refreshing! Their onion rings are also a personal favorite! Super yummy!! The Korean cheese dogs are also great! I don’t eat chicken, but everyone tells me it’s fantastic because of how they marinade it and the sauces have a lot of flavor. The manager and team are seriously so kind and the best!“
“Inviting ambiance. Polite servers. Amazing food. Easy parking lot parking. I stopped by at 4pm on a Sunday afternoon and it was surprisingly busy. I was quickly seated and ordered the Sake Aisuru Don and edamame. The Sake Aisuru Don (salmon sashimi, salmon belly, and minced salmon over rice) was extremely fresh. The meats were so refreshing and filling. The soft and silky salmon meats made my tastebuds sing. The edamame was portioned well and the light salt was nice. I'm pleased to have had an experience that makes me want to return!“
