Ramen Restaurants in Portland, OR

“We’ve been coming to Wu-Ron’s Ramen for a while now—probably over 20 visits—and it never disappoints. It’s a small, tucked-away spot that we only share with a handful of people because we love being able to stop in and enjoy a fresh, consistently amazing bowl of ramen without the crowd. The quality is always spot on, no matter the day. The waitress always remembers our order, which makes it feel like home, and the cook always greets us with a smile. That kind of warmth and consistency is rare, and it’s one of the many reasons we keep coming back. Wu-Ron’s is one of those hidden gems you want to keep to yourself, but honestly—it’s too good not to recommend!“

“This is my favorite spot for Ramen on the Westside of Portland. Not only is the food amazing, the broths are incredible, and they can accommodate all of my families specific dietary needs and food allergies. We are raving fans. Please go visit them!“

“I was visiting my gf all the way from CT, and we were blown away at the vibe of the downtown Portland location and how delectable and tasty the food was. The atmosphere was warm, and the food was to die for! Every bite was savory, and it was all practically Food Wars foodgasm top tier levels of delicious! This is gonna be our spot from here on out when we want some delicious ramen that even Naruto the Hokage himself would go bonkers for! Much love and keep rockin! 💖🤘“

“You can tell the flavor is going to be incredible the moment you step into the place because of how good it smells in there. The staff was both focused on their work and also wonderfully courteous. The food was delightful and enjoyed by my whole family and brought out exactly on time. I'll definitely eat here again. Thank you 🖤“

“I've been here twice in the last couple of months and I absolutely love this spot! Great, authentic food, friendly staff and pretty decent prices especially for the quality that you get. The presentation of everything is so pretty too! On top of all that, everyone there is very patient with me when I try to use some of my very limited Japanese :)“

“Excellent food and fast service! Will stop again if we are in the area :)“

“First time visit last night with six of us and they are very nicely opened up the toast restaurant and let us sit in there and we had such a nice evening and the waiter was so friendly and wonderful and really helped us out to get acquainted with the offerings we tried the vegetarian potstickers and also the various vegetarian tacos which were really good. Later we each had a vegetarian Ramen and every single one was delicious and I especially liked the one with the tofu and the hard-boiled egg and the spinach. They brought a small container of warm sake for me which I really liked with a tiny cup I got to choose. OverallI gave it a big 10+ and I would definitely eat there again and probably will go back pretty soon. The main thing is to try to find a time when the parking is not completely full in the area be prepared to park a ways away and walk which is good for us so it really wasn’t a problem.“

“Excellent! Love it! whenever you feel like Thai food you hot to try the Super Bowl“

“The husband and I were on a ramen rampage, and the weather was our perfect excuse. Then, out of nowhere, we stumbled upon this restaurant. The service was spot-on, the food arrived in record time, and that ramen? Sheer perfection. The broth was a flavor bomb, the chashu was tender and divine, and those noodles? Freshly made and sublime. We left feeling like we just discovered ramen nirvana.“

“Five stars 😋🍜 Love the miso with gluten free option! I'll be back.“

“This hands down is one of my favorite restaurants in Portland OR. It the same quality of other top spots in the US like Nobu , O-Ya , and Morimoto . The location is perfect located in the Pearl district. The chefs are high quality and the fish is extremely fresh. They have a great but simple flavor approach. The service is warm, helpful, and appreciative. I always ask for Joy as she is a true professional and loves providing an exceptional experience on every visit.“

“I got the yuzu miso ramen and my wife got the lime shio ramen. We also got chicken karaage with lemon sriracha aioli. Everything was fantastic. Such a good balance of flavors and just absolutely amazing. The workers were extremely friendly as well. I am 100% coming back here!“

“super friendly staff and awesome manager who didn't blink an eye and replaced my mom and aunts order to accommodate their health conditions. bomb food and and super fast serve time. will be back again Special shout out to Damont for being an awesome manager!“

“Gotta call ahead and they'll bring it to the curb.

Want to update this for their Nacho Week offering...

IT WAS EXCELLENT. Made with their wanton chips, instead of tortillas and LOADS of pork pieces and a nice cheese sauce. An excellent offering at only $10. A fun change from the regular chicken steam buns and spicy won tons that we usually get and enjoy.“

“Great food, service and menu. The house specialty rolls are in innovative and delicious, they have a great selection of nigiri/sashimi choices, and there was something extra yummy about the miso soup. This place may not be super flashy, but it's sincere and wonderful.“

“🌟 A Return Worth Celebrating! 🌟

This was my second visit—and honestly, it was just as unforgettable as the first. I originally came here to celebrate my birthday, and the food blew me away so much that I had to come back for more.

Every dish I ordered was a masterpiece. The house tonkatsu ramen was rich and comforting, with a broth that could warm your soul. The dynamite salmon roll, hello kitty roll, and kazien roll each brought their own unique flavor profiles and textures—playful, bold, and beautifully balanced.

But the real showstopper? The chef’s choice sashimi. Each slice of fish was paired with toppings that elevated the flavor to a whole new level. It was clear that every detail was thoughtfully curated, and the result was nothing short of spectacular.

If you're looking for a place that delivers not just amazing food but a memorable experience, this is it. I’ll definitely be back again.“

“Fresh food at a reasonable price, loved my own pot of green tea:). I’ll be back!“

“So far I've eaten at 3 out of 6 of the carts here (I'm including the Pour House in the count even though it's a bar).

Rollin' Fresh - Very good sushi with a twist (burrito style!)
Bajala - Excellent tacos, very fresh, with lots of flavor. (Separate review on their google maps entry)
Village Kitchen - so far my favorite Burmese food in the Northwest district and there something like 4 other Burmese restaurants.

I'll get to the rest soon enough.“

“Deliciosa agua de pepino y de Jamaica y los deliciosos SOPES DE BIRRIA DE RES y QUESOTACOS, y… los STREETACOS, ATENCIÓN ESMERADA Y SERVICIAL.👍“

“Loved it! Had a really good night out on the town!“

“We ordered thru UberEats. While UberEats won’t rectify any issues you might have, I called the restaurant, and they explained how they were able to accommodate an allergy. The food was delicious! We will be back. My kids loved the seared salmon donut., and the banana B-ritto. I had the treasure roll and a bowl with mixed fish. We got wasabi mayo sauce, chili sauce and another orange mayo- delicious. We kinda stuffed ourselves, to be honest. (And they use paper goods to wrap their food instead of plastic.) thank you!“

“We've been loyal customers of Yaraimura Maru for the past 3 years, and it continues to be one of our favorite spots! The food is always amazing—this time I had the Abu Udon and Shoyu Ramen, and both were absolutely delicious, as always. Cynthia and Phil were awesome—so kind, welcoming, and attentive. Their warm service really makes the experience extra special. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and great people!“

“The pork dumplings are literally to die for. Like I would cut a hoe if they took one of my dumplings. They cut worthy.“

“This place never disappoints. We've been both in the restaurant and gotten delivery before. Atmosphere can be a little loud, but it’s always clean and inviting, tables have nice separation and you don't feel like you're on top of your neighbor. Portions are generous and prices are a little high, but worth it.“

“I was seriously craving ramen, and I found a vegan one so of course I had to try it! 🙌 It was loaded with garlic 🧄😂 so maybe not the best choice if you have plans with someone after.😂 But honestly, it was really good! A little oily, but as a Japanese person I was totally satisfied. The portion size was just right too.😆“

“great place for a hearty bowl of ramen.“

“Ikimono Ramen is a quaint, relaxed restaurant offering Ramen and Pho options. The decor inside is very cute, making it a great place to sit down and have some yummy food.

Of course, if you're going to a Ramen restaurant it's to get some Ramen, and I'm happy to say that the Ramen here was very good. I found it to be perfectly salty, warm, and filled with ingredients that taste delicious. For $15, this a great meal to get when you're craving some Ramen. I recommend a stop here!“

“Highly recommend. Delicious and HUGE bowls of ramen! Pictured is their seafood ramen and it is packed with tons of protein. Price matches what you get compared to other places I’ve been to. Shop interior is small and reminiscent of ramen places I visited in Japan.“

“So yummmy and fast. I love this place.“

“Very tasty!! Great service & cute little venue. I had the Poke Rice bowl. Melt in your mouth fish 😋😋😋“

“Super good food. Had the ahi bowl and the ramen, both were top notch. Also tried the veggie fritters and tots, recommend both! The space is also quieter than a lot of restaurants, which was nice. There’s noise of course, but it’s not an echoey nightmare with booming music like a lot of places.“

“Wonderful atmosphere, dinner was delicious!“

“great ramen with quality ingredients. we brought a while group of the girls here and service was good pork belly is excellent.“

“Great service, friendly staff and very delicious, fresh fish at a fair price. Plus they are celiac friendly! We will definitely be back.“

“The Tempura is out of this world! Delicious.“

“I had the bulgogi rice bowl and WOW it was delicious! reasonably priced and nice staff. will definitely go again and highly recommend this place to others!“
