I haven't had boke bowl in a while and I like how many vegan and gluten free options there were. However, the Caramelized Fennel ($15) was a bit on the blander side and lukewarm. I like how the ingredients were fresh, but the greens were interesting like there was arugula in bowl. A bit of like a liquid salad, but it's definitely healthy... Unsure if the cod fish was actually trout? I enjoyed the jackfruit taco but the mushroom was a bit bland. Rice tots were interesting. Fast service too! It was busy during lunchtime and a great location for coffee and other activities like OMSI. read more

I came during curry week, I saw that they were participating and had a vegan option. I love me some curry, and their Zesty Red Chile & Turmeric Coconut Curry with Tofu was very flavorful; and a good portion size for $10! I also got steamed buns, 2 Mushroom buns and a Hot & Spicy Jackfruit bun. I really liked the mushroom buns! I ordered at the counter and the woman was pretty helpful with my order. I sat at the long community table and my order was brought out to me. Looking at the menu, I saw quite a few vegan items that I would like to try on a future visit. However, I was getting anxiety looking for parking. I finally found a spot after driving up and down the street. And my anxiety was heightened when I returned to my vehicle to find I was pretty boxed in. So yeah, I'd like to return, but may do so when the memory of my parking experience starts to fade! read more

I really enjoyed this place. I ordered the Tuna poke bowl which was less poke bowl vibes and more Whole Foods bowl with a salad mix that I really liked. Also ordered the fried chicken steam buns which I loved, I wish they added a little more of their sauce that was on it because that was delicious. read more

My wife and I had lunch at Boke today before shopping at Canoe nearby. My wife had the Chicken Bowl and I had the Poke Bowl wit tuna. Both were incredibly delicious and filling. We would come back again and again if it were closer to home. Please consider opening an outlet in downtown Lake Oswego, which desperately needs a dining opportunity such as Boke. read more

I decided to go to Boke Bowl in person, since one of my kiddos wanted to try the Boke burger. I really wanted to like it and hoped the fresh burger would be better than the one delivered. Unfortunately, I still feel the same as when I first reviewed the burger. There's no crunch and the burger too greasy. Service was good. We had a friendly cashier and the server was nice. The vibe in the restaurant was relaxed with communal tables. Everything was clean. I'd love to visit again and try something else on the menu. read more

Tons of seating, fast casual food, pricey, small menu. There aren't a ton of options here, but you can add foods to your bowls for extra. It was decent enough for lunch but of the three times I've been here my ramen was just warm (not hot). The veggies were always al dente which doesn't really work when your soup is lukewarm. The people are friendly enough. The inside has high ceilings with Japanese decor. Ample seating. The chasu and the tonkotsu are the best things here, but they really need to work on the full execution. read more

Omg! Saw this place on a YouTube video and it was everything promised. We had to grubhub it because our car broke down on the way. But that didn't stop us from trying this place. This is what we got: 1 Fried Chicken Buns $16.00 1 Pork Belly Buns $15.00 1 Beef Brisket Buns $15.00 1 Warm Brussels Sprouts Salad $15.50 1 Grilled Lemongrass Chicken Rice Bowl $16.00 1 Boke Twinkie $4.50 All were great but our preference of the buns was: beef brisket first, pork belly second, and fried chicken third. Twinkie was surprisingly delicious, not too sweet either. But the show stopper for me was the Brussels Sprouts. The sauce and mango added so much flavor! Can't wait to actually eat there when the food is hot! read more

Lemon grass chicken bowl - excellent. My wife's favorite meal (this vacation). Fresh veggies galore! The fried chicken bowl was tasty! Tofu bowl was also good! Would recommend highly for those who like a lighter fare with lots of sides in the bowl. The portions were generous. Would not recommend the rice tots. Ate only three tots and left a pile on the plate. Heavy and gelatinous - yuck. Will likely go back - next time in PDX read more

I've stopped by here a handful of times and the food and service have always been amazing. The staff is super friendly and can answer all the questions you have about the restaurant and food. The ramen is delicious! My son loves the PB&J buns. read more

Can a ramen place make a good burger? Let's find out. I had the boke double Burger: Double patty, Tillamook cheddar, Caramelized onions, Boke pickled cucumbers, and our Boke Secret sauce with Japanese kewpie mayo, gochujang and chile crunch! This burger is a seasonal one so it might be gone when you are getting there Yes it is a good burger just a little tiny kick from the chile crunch and a good taste of the onions - not too much of sauce and the meat paddies are just right. A good burger indeed. read more

Stopped specifically for Nacho Week for the Korean Beef Wonton Nachos. Korean braised beef, crispy wonton chips, gochujang queso topped with kimchi and pickled onions. Needed some extra spice from the sauces on the table, but otherwise nice crunch! Service was not memorable. Ambience: open, light, large picnic tables read more

Love Boke bowl!! Everything is always so fresh and delicious. The portions are great for the price and as a vegan I appreciate the wide variety of options (all of which are great!! Can personally attest to the ramen, the rice bowl, the curry bowl, the poke bowl, and the buns). The staff is always very friendly and the food comes out quickly. One of my favorite spots in Portland :) Also a great place to take gluten free friends as they have many options to accommodate them as well read more

PORTLAND SANDWICH WEEK brought us here. The Korean Spicy Sando is at the top of my list (out of the 5 that we tried this week). Wish they offered this in their regular menu 'cause it was BOMB AF. 10/10 !!! Boke Bowl is located in the industrial east side of Portland. We don't generally find ourselves in this area, so I'm glad that the Portland Sandwich Week forced us to check this spot out. There's only STREET PARKING available. The restaurant itself is super spacious with lots of indoor seating. We especially liked the modern and bright/airy feel of the space. Service was TOP-NOTCH and our food came out QUICKLY! We decided to add a side of the BRUSSELS SPROUTS SALAD with our sandwich and I'm so glad we did 'cause this dish had so much flavor and is a hit on their original menu. I would definitely come back for this! read more

Food taste authentic - you can customize your ramen - worth going. I didn't find better ramen in Portland so far

I just went to Boke Bowl for Dumpling Week in Portland. I had their special duck wonton in chili sauce. The duck wonton was good. What was disappointing was that they forgot our order. The server was very nice, and apologized and brought us some extra rice. The rice was very disappointing both times it was brought to us. It was cold and sticky like it was old rice that had been made the day before, or hours before. I also got a tapioca dessert to go that I was excited to try at home. It tasted way too sweet, and I almost threw it way as you couldn't really even taste the tapioca just the sugary mango puree on top. The atmosphere is industrial which is pretty cool. I liked the layout of the place. The parking is terrible as it's in the industrial section. Fortunately there was a parking lot just a few blocks away. Quick eats that are ok, and the fusion just works so so. I don't get why this place is so popular as they're a few locations. The only thing I can come to is it's pretty cheap, fast, and a hip cool place. Industrial vibes are cool you know!!! read more

Welcoming people on staff who project joy in their work. Boke offers a huge range meats, vegies, fruits, condiments, and treats to satisfy your appetite. All three of us left happy, two with leftovers. The total bill was a steal considering how much delicious food we received. We're going back! read more

Never coming back here. We came here for wing week, drinks and wings were bad. The person at the front was rude. Wings were covered in grease. All I could taste was grease, no flavored. The whole plate was covered in grease, drinks were horrible. No flavor, tasted like dirty water. Places is cute though, won't be back. read more

Boke bowl is a family favorite. We don't order in because something is lost in transit, but in house, the food is fresh and delicious. They can accommodate allergies and always take great care at the counter. The only complaint I could have is seating from time to time when it is busy and people take seats with weird buffers in the family style sections. read more

Excellent food and atmosphere. The owner is very nice (female). The boyfriend or significant other needs to learn manners. You usually know who was born here and who wasn't by their attitude and respect towards others. Overall five stars, besides poor customer service. read more

The stop to eat dinner here last night with my husband was happenstance. We were over at the Lloyd district neighborhood earlier for another event and were driving around and passed by Boke Bowl and decided to drop in for dinner. I really enjoy a great bowl of ramen, and I was not disappointed. The woman who was working the register when we came in let us know that we just needed to order off the wall, or menu behind us, take a seat and we would be served our dinner and they would buss the table at the end of the meal. As this was our first time visiting, we wanted to order different items to get a taste of the products. We ordered the Pork Bone Dashi - slowed smoked pulled pork, soy, bonito and seasonal veggies which included a nice squash. My husband ordered the Duck Dashi which was made with duck broth, duck confit, crispy brussel sprouts and seasonal veggies and lastly, we ordered a shared order of the Pork & Shrimp Siu Mai. The food was hot and good, but we felt like it lacked a bit of depth in flavor. However, while unlike me to not do research on a restaurant before going, I could tell by the bit and chew of the noodle they were home made, which I appreciated. I also though the siu mai were filled well and were larger than others I have had before. We ate a bit and took the rest home. They had great to go containers, which is important when it comes to Ramen. The restaurant itself was set up more communal style, lots of shared tables and then a few individual tables against the wall. It was clean and for the size, had a nice space. I liked the simple decor. I additionally appreciated watching the gentleman under the "bowl wall" making something on the spot. FRESH!! The good news - our ramen had even more depth and flavor today as leftovers. I think while they are aiming to present "fresh food" often food increases in flavor when it has time to "marinate and set." This is true of their food in my opinion. The down side, the prices were high for a ramen bar in my perspective. If I were to get food from Boke again, I would stop in and place my order to go and let it sit overnight before I dive in. read more

I've visited Boke Bowl twice. Both times were for Food Week Events. The two events were dumpling week and burger week. Both times that I visited, I was happy with the service and the quickness that I received the food. The burger and dumplings were delicious. Their pork ramen is good too but the broth could use more flavor. The iced tea was good and the ginger limeade was good as well. I look forward to continuing to visit this restaurant. read more

We went to boke bowl after visiting OMSI. We placed the order and grabbed the number before finding available seats.

Always a go to for ramen so my first dumpling week 2025 spot - wow bb did not disappoint. So many layers of refreshing flavors and just a quick hit of chili crunch spice. The best way to eat lamb. The seasonal salad was also excellent, 5-spice vinaigrette was a great new twist. read more

Service was excellent. All food was bitter. Why was it bitter??? I've never had such bitter food at a restaurant before. Ramen salad. Could not eat it. Was American salad with ramen noodles in it. Sad. Tomatoes in it were yummy. The amount of Konnyaku noodles in it were dangerous, too much food. Sour and bitter. Ramen was also bitter and it was pulled/shredded pork. Fried chicken was very good, 10/10. Limeade was bitter too. My stomach hurts now after eating, may be from car though. Staff were very nice though. Didnt try poke or buns but I imagine they are good. If sensitive to bitter flavors do not go. Food looked good so I was saddened that it didn't taste as good. read more

My friends and I stopped to eat dinner at Boke Bowl before our drive back to Seattle, after walking along the water. The buns are a good price and a good size, but they are mostly filled with filler such as veggies and not much of the actual protein. In addition, the bao (breading) is not as fluffy as you would expect. I thought the Sichuan wontons were pretty good, but definitely not filling enough for a meal. My one favorite was the fried pears - surprisingly really good! They are just as sweet as normal pears and the texture is really nice and chewy. I would probably give this place another try and get the ramen next time I am around. read more

Poke and ramen place in Water Street area. I had a tuna poke. It was a salad like poke here. With pokes, each shop has different poke, you can't tell until you actually get the dish. The poke had, tuna, grilled delicata squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado and a pile of arugula. The rice was mixed with a bit of sesame. They also have many ramen dishes curry rice (not Japanese style, more like Thai, but they call it Portland style) as for an appetizer, they have buns and dumplings and many other dishes. read more
