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 place was the best ramen place I've ever tried! The spicy chicken ramen was amazing and so was their karragan chicken was delicious! We ended up ordering double of our food that's how good it was! There is also kids options which made the experience that much better! Order a Yuzu lemonade, you won't regret it!

Excellent ramen and spam musubi. Fast & kind service. This place is very kid-friendly: they have sippy cups, high chairs, a kid ramen on the menu, plastic dishes and utensils and even lollipops for good kiddos.

Their website appears to be compromised. Until this is resolved, the website may start serving up malware.

Didn't think to take a photo, as the food's aroma and appearance was so inviting I just started eating. Perfect thing for these cold rainy nights!

Same ramen, less seating, higher prices and mandatory 18% tip for parties of “one or more.” Like most places, the price goes up a dollar every six months, but with an automatic tip and slower table service I’ll be looking elsewhere for ramen.

This place was truly delicious. I got the vegetarian TanTan. It was hands down the best ramen I've had. My partner got regular Shoyu ramen, and they absolutely loved it. We also had the yuzu sake which went perfectly with the ramen. The place has pretty limited seating, so we did have to wait a little. However, I would absolutely wait again to eat here. The service was also really fast.

Overall, good experience. Ramen is flavorful and noodles were cooked perfectly. Got the #3, which lacked an egg but has ground chicken, which I thought was a good substitute. Flavors were more traditional Japanese, which I was hoping for.

Service was great.

Two complaints:
- Broth was slightly too like warm and not hot like I was hoping for. I was hoping to warm up in the cold weather and didn’t quite do it.
- Pork was surprisingly good (I usually don’t like ramen pork) due to the char grilling, but it was cold on the inside.

Will give this place another try eventually.

Best ramen I’ve had in Portland! Rich broth and very yummy (not too fatty!!) pork.
The staff are very very sweet! We accidentally stayed 30 min after closing without realizing and the staff didn’t even tell us, they just let my moms and I keep chatting 🥹
Thank you!!!!

This place is very good. And although you're paying a bit more than most ramen places I think the quality of the food is there to support that. The portion size is perfect and leaves you satisfied. A bowl of soup is averaged $17, and this place charges an automatic gratuity of 18% on every customer.
