The family and I got away a few days to Bend. The day before we stumbled upon The Box Factory near…read morethe Old Mill District and decided the following day we would go and have lunch at one of the restaurants there. Just so happens one of places we wanted to try was closed for for lunch, so we ended up wanting to try Miyagi Ramen. Boy, glad we did. We walked in and we were greeted by 2 young ladies working up front that did a fantastic job giving great service. It wasn't very busy so we were served pretty quickly. I tried the Chicken Paitan Ramen. Very good, not to spicy, Chicken was tender, the sprouts and bamboo shoots worked well together. Another good thing was the portion size. I took half of it with me. Overall a very good experience. The vibe was very cool. It was the standard, eclectic Bend vibe. I liked they happened to be playing 70's disco, Motown music. I would say if you come to Bend, Miyagi Ramen is a must try. Then go shopping, go wine tasting there at The Box Factory. So a shout out to the ladies working on 7/16 for lunch. You did great. Next time we are in Bend we will come back for more ramen.

Food (7/10): I got the Miyagi Don Rice bowl with Chasu Pork and it was good. I liked how the…read moreflavors were balanced well, the pork was pretty crispy and juicy, and the sauce was savory and citrusy (I think I got yuzu and ginger sauce). Service (7/10): you order at the cashier and then the server would bring your food to the table. You also grab your own utensils and waters so it was a lot of self service, which worked out for the better for this place because the staff seemed pretty busy. Overall the service was OK to me. Vibes (8/10): the inside looked pretty cool since they had a big wall with graffiti art and they had good music playing in the background so overall a good vibe. However, the place is kinda small so I wouldn't recommend for groups bigger than 6 imo. Parking: we came on a Tuesday afternoon and there was plenty of parking in the plaza to the right of the restaurant. My only concern for this place was that I saw one of the servers switching between taking orders at the register and preparing food with her bare hands without washing her hands in between nor wearing gloves during food preparation so that was a bit concerning for me.

I would say, they did their job. My granddaughter and I both got the Khao Soi Curry with Chicken. It was fantastic. Hot, creamy and coconutty with just the right level of spice. The portion was extremely generous making for some excellent leftovers. It had crunchy noodles for texture, soft noodles for chew and it was very saucy, with a decent portion of chicken. If I had to find a negative, by itself, the thinly sliced chicken seemed under seasoned and would have been dry had there not been a good amount of sauce. All in all, I highly recommend a visit to others and deemed them worthy of a return visit to try some of their other menu items.

My daughter wasn't even crying for a full minute, just a little fussy because she was hungry. He showed zero patience or understanding. When I said we could leave if needed, he just repeated "keep her quiet," shrugged his shoulders, and showed no empathy. We left immediately. If you have kids, especially toddlers, avoid this place. They clearly don't want families there and should just put up a sign saying so. We ended up going to Chans and had a wonderful experience.

Bop Culture is a 'ghost' restaurant operating out of the 5 Fusion kitchen serving Korean fare, also…read morefusion. Bi-bim-bops mostly but also some other goodies such as Korean spiced tots and a Korean corn dog. First impressions: when the menu says spicy, the food will be. Not blisteringly so but for those with a low tolerance, take heed. Five dishes ordered and promptly delivered by Door Dash - all good. - Tots: very nice, comes with two dipping sauces, both tasty. - Vegan chicken bi-bim-bop (#3): I've never had fake chicken until now and it works about as well as fake beef (Beyond, Impossible). Which is to say, quite passable. Beyond the fake chicken, the dish itself is very good. Bop sauce (in a separate tub) is tasty if a touch sweet. - Chinese cabbage salad: Excellent. I could eat this all day. - Bop dog: a Korean-inspired corn dog. The epitome of fusion, I guess. Pretty good with a nice panko coating. If you like corn dogs, you'll probably like it. - Beef bi-bim-bop (#1): Excellent. Well seasoned beef with very well done veggies and soft-boiled egg, including kim chi. Overall, I'd say Bop Culture has hit it out of the park in a town somewhat lacking in Asian-inspired cuisine (although it's getting better). Highly recommended.

I'm just so excited about having any kind of Korean food in town. I get tired of eating my own food…read moresometimes. I like the fact that they offer modern style Korean food as well like Corn Cheese, Hot Dog and Vegan Bibimbap! I've ordered different things from them a couple of times. Our favorites so far are Hot dog, pork belly Bossam, ZZ bop (vegan Bibimbap with fake chicken), and kimchi dumplings!! The Bop miso sauce is amazing too!! I know some of you wouldn't like their food because it's not traditional Korean food to you. Also some of you wouldn't like their food because it's way too authentic and traditional like their banchan. I know because I'm in the food business! Give it a try yourself and see what they are all about!
