Like a solid 4.5. Really nice and helpful staff! They have a lunch special thats good to know if you haven't been. We got the Buffalo Chicken Baos and they were SO good. I got a Ramen which was tasty but I felt was lacking a little depth. The pickled ginger was SUPER addictive though. Cute enough spot, parking can be tricky and I heard it fills but seemed mellow for lunch in the winter. Overall it was cozy and a nice spot for a soup on a cold day.
Oh myyyyyy this is my favorite ramen in the city thus far. The katsudon was a treat to try as well. Casual ambience with fun music and good drink selection. Always a returner here.
The best ramen I have ever had!!! Get the short rib ramen and the duck ramen! The meat was melt in your mouth and everything in it was so delicious and flavorful. I wanted to go back a second time but have to try other things while I'm in the area.
Cute ramen place to stop on a hot day in Portland. We were in town visiting and were craving ramen. The place was clean and service was attentive and helpful. The ramen was kinda on the salty side even for ramen. The Brussels sprouts were delicious and a little too salty as well. Would have been nice if there was a light sweetest to them. Overall it meant the craving and we had a great time.
Great food and presentation. Great service and willingness to accommodate vegan diet. Very nice ambiance, lighting, and aesthetics Wish there were more vegan options. Or at least ability to play with the menu. The ingredients there for even a few great vegan dishes I had the Brussels sprouts special ordered and the mushroom avocado rolls. Ginger was fresh and these two dishes overall were great!
