    I went in for a ramen bowl. The staff was helpful and helped me make a choice. They had different broths with an option to spice it up - can have it on the side if you like to adjust yourself. The bowl was huge, the place was clean and hygienic. The fork/knives were wrapped to avoid any dust. They had a few choices for bubble tea, I got Thai iced tea and a mango refresher and it was goooood and refreshing. The food came out fairly quickly.

    The dumplings were deep fried and not even hot. They would have been so much better if they were pan seared. They didn't look any like the posters. Very disappointed.

    spicy ramen with bubble tea and gyoza

    i have been here many times and the quality is not what it used to be. it is evident in the smaller lines unlike the past. the noodles are undercooked. the broth is decent. the egg is just a salty hard boiled egg. the extra toppings are whipped together. the bubble tea was good. maybe come here for the bubble tea. Pora ramen will be decent enough for a ramen craving in a mall i guess. Thats why im giving it a meh rating.

    Tonkatsu Ramen
    Eloy Y.

    Located on the 3rd level in the food court of the American Dream mall in East Rutherford, I've visited this establishment numerous times, especially when the weather calls for it. Today was one of those days where Pora Ramen came to the rescue after 2 years. Besides the star of the show being ramen, they also have rice bowls, Korean fried chicken, gyozas, buns, and boba tea. I decided on the Tonkotsu Ramen, which is a pork bone broth ramen. It is accompanied by slices of King Trumpet-style mushrooms, bean sprouts, scallions, and pieces of chashu. The ramen eggs (Ajitsuke Tamago) are done perfectly. The broth wasn't too heavy or overly salty. The pork has the mixture of fat/meat that was tender and tasty. The noodles were cooked well using fresh ingredients. The price was reasonable and made my stomach satisfied. The staff is friendly. I continue to recommend this.

    Location this is where you place the order from the sitting area of view

    I stopped by this place to try Ramen. I ordered a bubble tea for my daughter and I place the order of Ramen for myself. I picked the one in the picture to make it easier. They told me that it was spicy, so I asked him if he could make it less spicy so he say yes, and I don't think I sacrifice much on the flavor. It was very good. I enjoy it. The only thing that I believe at the wrong is that I left the egg in the soup for two long and I ended up mixing it and I didn't like the flavor after work of the soup but otherwise it was quick and they have a sitting area where you could just wait for your order. They don't have no seats just a sitting area.

    Ramen was very close to Nissin you get at grocery for $4 with added egg, pork, and few vegi garnishes. Not the same as when they opened. Price went up too.

    The taro bubble tea cup exploded while pushing the straw through the top, and it spilled everywhere. Such a waste and disappointing.

    The vegetable ramen was really good, but the taro bubble tea cup cracked and spilled everywhere. I took a picture and went back to the PORA FOODS to show the plastic cup tore open. I asked one of the guys in the back for a clean tray and showed him the picture of what happened. He gave me the tray but then went "that's it". That was a little weird, but I took the tray and grabbed more napkins to clean up. This would have been a 5-star rating had that not happened. I'd be back again because the ramen is good, but I'm very apprehensive to get one of their bubble teas or drinks with cellophane covers ever again. What a mess and wasted money!

    We parked at lot D, so Pora Ramen is at the far end of the food court. We had to get past a mass of people... But if you come from lot A, I guess it would be the 1st few stalls. Order and wait, the wait was awkward as I was constantly in people's way no matter where I moved... but that is how food courts are... I kind of wish the order and pickup stations were reversed. You would then be able to wait in a larger area. I ordered: Mango Jasmine Tea - delicious, just a tad too sweet for me. I would have liked to be able to say how much sugar I wanted. More, as is, or less Black Tonkotsu Ramen - the broth is good. The egg was delicious. The pork was tender and tasty. My only complaint is that the broth did not stick to the noodle that well to pick up the flavor, so it was bland until I scope a spoonful of soup. I think the noodles were too straight, it needed some waves I wouldn't come all the way to American Dreams for the Ramen, but if I was there already, I might give something else a try.

    If you're at the mall and craving ramen this isn't a bad choice. It's better than most food court noodles. We got the miso ramen. They said the noodles were hand made but the texture was a little too soft. Some were clumped together. The broth was a little too salty. There were two pieces of char siu and they were both tender. My daughter asked for no corn on hers and they obliged. There were a lot of people but the order came out fairly quickly.

    This restaurant is located in the American Dream Mall, up on the third floor with the Coca-Cola food court. I tried the miso ramen, black tonkatsu ramen, and an order of the six-piece gyoza. First, the six-piece gyoza had a nice thin skin but unfortunately was cooked by deep frying the whole dumpling, which was disappointing if crispy. The meat on the inside was okay but I think this would have done much better pan-fried. The miso ramen had corn and black mushrooms and plenty of green scallions, but the miso was weak and lacked strength of flavor. Noodles were reasonable, though. The pork was okay, not quite fall apart in the mouth but definitely moist and fatty. The half egg was done properly, soft-boiled. The black tonkatsu ramen had the black garlic sauce and again a weak miso base, so you had the bitterness from the black garlic sauce but not much else. Noodles on this one were also a thin versus the regular yellow ramen noodles which would have made it better. Pork here was the same as in the miso ramen. The half egg here was also done properly. They also have a number of drinks you can order, and the pickup area has chopsticks and spoons and forks for you to pick up on your own depending on what you need. Large bowls were made out of paper so easy to discard. Overall I've had better ramen and gyoza, so I'll likely skip this next time.

    Spicy ramen, spicy Korean chicken appetizer and a matcha latte
    Nicole B.

    Possibly the best mall foodcourt ramen I've ever had!! I was so surprise of how tasty the ramen was, the fried garlic pieces added more flavor to the broth. I ordered a spicy tonkotsu ramen without scallions, spicy Korean chicken for app and a matcha latte with cheese foam. Service was quick, you order and pay at the counter. You will get a number and pick up your food when it's called. I enjoyed my ramen very much. I wish the Korean chicken was crispy, it was drowned in sauce. Skip the matcha latte, it was on a saltier side. There's no seating at the counter since it's inside a mall foodcourt. There's plenty of tables and chairs in the middle of the foodcourt. I would definitely come back next town I'm in town.

    Not bad at all for "mall food". The ramen was chewy and tasty. My son loved it. He also ate 2 dumplings as the afternoon snack considering that he had 4 dumplings at home for lunch. The strawberry lemonade was refreshing.

    I went to pora foods to try their ramen. I used the self-service machine to order spicy tonkotsu-Pork broth | bean sprouts | green onions | mushrooms | boiled egg | noodles | 2-3 slices of pork meat (Chashu) | spicy paste for a little kick with extra corn. The machine was easy to use. When my order was ready, they called my number and my number appeared on the machine. I did not have to wait very long. The broth was very flavorful and it was a great portion. I would definitely come back here again and try their other dishes.

A few of us had been talking about trying it for a while, and it totally lived up to the hype. The vibe inside was welcoming and comfortable, and the whole hot pot experience made lunch feel like something fun and different instead of just a quick meal. We picked a broth and then ordered a bunch of meats, vegetables, and noodles to share. Everything tasted really fresh, and the broth was full of flavor from the start and got even better as we kept cooking. It's the kind of place where you end up trying a little bit of everything, and it's perfect for a group because everyone can customize their own bites. We also appreciated that it didn't feel rushed, even though it was lunchtime. Service was great too. The staff was friendly, checked on us often enough without hovering, and helped explain options for anyone who hadn't done hot pot before. That made a big difference, especially with a bigger group. By the time we finished, we were already talking about coming back. I definitely plan to return soon with my family, and I can also see myself bringing a few colleagues here as well. It's a great spot for catching up, doing a casual group lunch, or just getting a really satisfying meal.

It's literally about 100.00 cheaper in the West Coast for the same amount.

The menu kind of reflects this struggle too, as it can't seem to decide if it wants to offer more traditional Japanese sushi-ya fare or something more innovative. As a result, we kind of wound up with the middling middle with our choice of 4 specialty rolls: 1) Saku: Probably the best and most traditional of our rolls with salmon and avocado inside, and ponzu, chives and crispy shallots on the outside. 2) Lobster: Not enough lobster salad inside to justify the overuse of miso-yuzu mayo, and just a whole ton of filler nonsense going on outside wrapped in pink soy paper. 3) Drop It Like Its Hot: Not spicy enough to justify the cute name. This should've been an easy slam dunk in flavor, but everything felt kind of bland and flat. Maybe due to the lack of nori. 4) Crunch Drunk Love: Lots of fish, but again, not enough flavor. We also got the Edamame with Spicy Miso Butter, which was just OK--the butter was weirdly sour. I wouldn't order it again. In fact, I....wouldn't really order anything here again.
