Vera, I just have to say — this was the best crêpe I’ve ever had in my life. The texture was absolutely perfect — golden and delicate on the outside, soft and delicious on the inside. The drizzle, the powdered sugar, the raspberries… everything was beautifully balanced, like a little piece of art on a plate.

You didn’t just make a crêpe — you created a moment. I could feel the love and passion behind it. Thank you for making my day so much sweeter. You’re truly amazing at what you do!

The ramen from here was a bit underwhelming. First of all, staff was kind to tell us at the Spicy Miso is really spicy and suggested we get it at medium level… still ended up being brutally spicy.
I saw on the menu that Cashu was extra, but I thought that meant if you wanted to add even more Cashu. I was surprised when it came out with what looked like boiled pork. I took the meat out. The crispy green onions were really good, but overall, the quality and flavors were not that impressive.

The spicy miso slaps. Had one of the tacos too and was surprisingly impressed. The service here is top notch, too. Very friendly and helpful.

TanTan Ramen is my go-to dish. Broth - yes, noodles - amazing, ground pork - great. ADD egg, egg is so good 🤤. Do not recommend adding chasu pork. It's consistently dry and overcooked, not seasoned at all. Go to Kinboshi if you want good chasu pork (but their noodles aren't as good, in my opinion. And the egg is fine, but nothing special. The tonkatsu broth is really salty, fatty, and tasty there, if that's what you are looking for). Kayo's strong points are the egg, noodles, and different broth options. I haven't tried all the toppings yet, but I have been pretty disappointed tbh. Shoots were BAD 👎

Nice ramen restaurant on East Portland. I really appreciate their ramen and the awesome cheesecake. The staff is really nice and cool. Easy to park your car for free in the street close to the restaurant. Price are not so high. Good restaurant, I clearly recommand.

Excellent broth, tasty toppings & fast service but not a great value. The portions are small compared to other ramen spots. The dining room is extremely loud with the constant roar of equipment in the open kitchen, ventilation probably. Staff was a bit surly on our first visit.
