Everything at Boke Bowl will leave you 2/3rds full which is just where you want to be. The pork ramen is what I keep coming back for. If you go with the buns , try one of each. Busiest hours are 12-2.

NON-TRADITIONAL ramen , i.e. fried chicken , root vegetables , and brocolli in your ramen . I suggest the chicken and pork broth with fried chicken and poached egg . Don't miss the pork and eggplant buns .

Jeshka Lewis

Like Toshi's in Eugene, but actualy good. The noodles actually pick up the flavor of the broth! I've been looking for ramen like I had in Japan. This place is SO close. I'd eat the Pork ramen again.

Stacy Bo Bacy

Flavorful, small portions. Even when busy, service and food delivery is quick. Very strong pork flavor throughout ramen .

Bommy

Not your traditional bowl of ramen . Caramelized fennel dashi ramen is meh but the eggplant steam bun is flavorful and tasty.

Doug Zamensky

Brussels sprouts salad+fried chicken , Sui Mai, and pork ramen ! Everything I've had here is really great. Enjoy!

Thrillist

The chicken & pork broth takes two days to make here. That deliciousness' then combined with handmade noodles + addables like the excellent buttermilk fried chicken . Read more

Brook Shelley

Hell yes! They have amazing gluten-free noodles and tasty drinking vinegar

Duncan Davidson

Ramen and rice bowl heaven. Handmade noodles , slow food, and pop-up shop origins, this was an instant favorite for me that I’m sure will have lasting appeal.

Alex Brehm

Excellent ramen . Get kimchi or a seasonal pickle with your bowl, then skip the line if you want more later.

Mark Jensen

From @mrgan: "A casual , lightweight Momofuku-inspired ramen joint. The ramen is good, the buns are better, the fried chicken is stellar. Lots of fun little sides."

Ricky Engelberg

The fried chicken on Thursday nights is delicious. Also great that Ramen is served on Thurs nights now as well . Wish they were open every night!

Becky

The ramen was great!

Ethan Kriegel

The ramen bowls change periodically so check the menu now and then. Try the sweet pickles .

Jessica

Steamed buns are delicious, do yourself a favor and grab one with your meal!

Josh Pyles

Not your traditional Ramen , but still delicious. Pork Belly steamed buns were great!

Andy Beach

Not super hungry? Get the bambino bowl , even if your a grown ass adult. But add a poached egg - you'll thank me.

Ryan Griffin

Only place I've ever actually chosen to have Brussel sprouts and cauliflower in a salad . Seafood Miso is top.

Olivia Black

Ramen is so worth it here. Great portions. Hope you dont mind cafeteria seating!

Mike Waleke

The fried pears taste like gummy candy . The pickled cucumbers were just the right mix of sweet and spices.

Gordon Mei

Bit of trivia , the branding of this spot is done by Always With Honor, a design shop based in Portland.

Ricky Engelberg

Peanut butter and Jelly buns are pretty amazing. Love the fried chicken . In general a big a fan of boke.

Amanda Isberg

I got the pork ramen with pork belly added on. The pork belly was hard and had a strange flavor. The broth was pretty bland. Good miso Twinkie and coconut tapioca .

Brook Shelley

Get the fried oysters , the fried chicken and the seafood ramen

Beckey Bookman

Pork Belly Buns are so good! Ah my god! They're like a Japanese flavored taco of pork ! YUM

Emily Bowman

The bambino bowl is plenty for an adult with a modest appetite. And only $6!

Hayley Resk

Tofu rice bowl and veggie steamed buns !

Shawn Vitt

No cutting in line ! (It's long.) And absolutely no saving a table -- ya gotta order first. (They're serious.)

Matthew Rothenberg

The current seasonal salad is one of the best salads I've had in my life.

This fun place is great for fresh ramen and steamed buns .

Splurge and get the fried chicken .

The brussel sprout salad is one of the best things that has ever happened to my mouth

Elisabeth

Love the Brussels sprout and cauliflower salad

Samir

Fantastic ramen ! Great tofu . Definitely come back tomorrow

Vicki

Ramen wasn't great. Broth tasted too dark and noodles were alright. Understand that it is a fusion place but I've had way better ramen before...just not in PDX! Cool vibe and quick service tho.

Justin Chen

The fried pears are super savory, and super delicious.

S T

The broth (with pork belly !) was delicious. The noodles were... eh.

Chase Reeves

Tofu rice bowl , add egg . Sweet gods of kimchi-pickle tongue frollicks!

Slow smoked pulled pork ramen with a slow poached egg and buttermilk fried chicken oh my good good yes do it.
