Excellent vibes and quick, informative staff. I had the paitan with crispy pork belly, which was absolutely delicious. I tried the fried Brussels sprouts, and they were just okay. Overall, an excellent place for dinner. Easy place for solo dining as well.

You didn’t actually visit Portland if you didn’t eat here. The people and atmosphere alone are incredible but I promise you the pork bun will absolutely change your life.. book it. This was in my top 3 fav food spots in Portland.

It was absolutely delicious! We ordered the Lobster buns (not shown), Paitan ramen, spicy Maine lobster sushi, and the Pork Katsuson. It was very tasty and was served in great portions. The lobster buns were our FAVORITE because of the buns!

Nice little spot for a casual meal. I saw a couple leave because of the price of the Ramen but I think it was worth it. The broth was seasoned beautifully and the portion was large enough for a full meal. The edamame was fine, nothing too special but I would go back and try a different appetizer instead.

So much flavor, I was shocked taking the first bite (ginger beef donburi). Incredible food and speedy service, what more can you ask for?

Very tasty dishes! Had a tuna roll, pork dumplings, roasted brussel sprouts and diakon salad. First three tasted amazing while the salad was so so in comparison.
Delicious food. Great service. Highly recommended.

Three of us walked in on Thursday evening around 6PM when their web site said that reservations were not accepted. Despite the inside of the restaurant being more than half empty, we were seated at the last three seats at the bar near the kitchen and rest rooms. No big deal. We ordered edamame, pork gyoza, 2 smoke and roses cocktails, Nikuman buns, 3 ramens and a double tuna sushi roll. The server was friendly, gracious, and attentive. No complaints. The food was excellent. Fresh, flavorful, served quickly. The nikuman buns were so hot even after sitting and cutting them open that I burned my mouth pretty severely. And then it got busy. The din was like nothing I had ever experienced. The combination of music, kitchen, and voices was too much to bear that I actually had to get up and leave the restaurant. A server came out to check on me. I said I was fine and just needed a minute. I went back in and simply could not bear it. My partners agreed, so I ran back out, they packaged up the left over food, paid the check and we left. The staff told one of us that this happens all the time. If that’s the case, then fix it! Sound dampening materials exist! I have eaten here several time and always enjoyed the food. It’s always been a difficultly noisy place, but this was unreal. If I ever eat here again, it will be take out or outside until this issue is addressed.

Some of the best ramen I've had. The flavours are more elevated than traditional ramen, so expect more subtlety. Karage was also delicious. The staff were very friendly and sitting by the bar was fun
