Kayo's Ramen Bar

Hiyashi Chuka - Delightfully refreshing cold ramen salad for the summer!

Anna Doughty

this place is an amazing haven for vegans and omnivores alike, with a menu that is customizable to your preference! for any ramen , choose the bone or vegan broth, and pork or tofu as your protein

Jeremy Krall

Amazingly friendly staff , the ramen was off the charts and authentic , also has a great beer and cider list as well . Skip the lines at Tasty and go straight here.

Legitimately skillful ramen from a small joint punching up to rival Japanese chains. Broth thin but immensely flavorful like a consommé , noodles have the PERFECT bounce, chashu soft and unctuous.

Robert Sandler

The veggie broth delicious ramen , loved it. Plenty of prickly ash flave.

Felicity S.

This is the best ramen I've had in Portland! The Shio and Shoyu are both delicious, but try the spicy Sichuan mala for something more unusual!

Stacy Bo Bacy

Customizable ramen (vegan or bone broth , noodles , spice level) that is consistently good. I’ve always enjoyed the specials! I recommend adding an egg .

WILLIAMS AVE: A well-received local newcomer. Just perfect on a rainy day. If you like spicy , the Ma La ramen is quite the treat.

Brook Shelley

Really love the gyoza here, and the shoyu bowl is a solid one. I wish they had a fattier pork belly , but they *do* have awesome seasonal specials .

Brook Shelley

I've only tried the shoyu , but it was a tasty but not super rich broth. The noodles have a great chew too. The miso is supposed to be excellent

Brian L

Loved the spicy tan tan ramen and had a beautiful purple cocktail too! (Murasaki, I believe)

Felicity S.

The coffee jelly is unusual and delicious! Heavy cream on top cuts the coffee acidity just right.

Stacy Bo Bacy

The spicy miso and MaLa are my favorites. Gotta add the egg .

Andrew C

Might I recommend the Mala or the Tantan.

Tim Trautmann

Super delicious Ramen for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. Try the Curry Ramen !

Get the Tan Tan ramen , medium spice .

Natalie Marioni

Decent ramen bar but nothing outstanding. Recommend adding an egg to any ramen order. A little disappointed that they started clearing our table before we even finished our meal.

Jimmy Schementi

Tan tan ramen was amazing!

Tim In The House

Awesome Ramen . Outdoor seating possible even in winter thanks to gas heaters.
