Ate here with my fam both in July 2022 and July 2026. I've gone to a few ramen spots in Portland and this is my favorite one by far. Noodles have a great tooth to them and the broth is excellent. Great service. read more

Good ramen option around the area. The bowl is pretty straight forward and I opted for the fried chicken and tamago (egg) kiru (black garlic oil) miso ramen. It was tasty, not too heavy and the charsu pork was very tender. The service is good and it's a very casual café environment read more

Ramen Ryoma - Ramen Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Ramen Ryoma is a decent, casual option if you are in the area and craving comfort food, but overall the experience felt pretty middle-of-the-road. While a few things stood out, the meal as a whole didn't quite hit the high marks I was hoping for. Here is how it broke down: The Starters (The Highlight): Karaage (Fried Chicken): This was easily the best part of the meal. The pieces were large, juicy, and had a great, ultra-crispy crunch on the outside. Takoyaki: Decent texture and well-presented on a long plate with plenty of bonito flakes, making it a solid appetizer to share. The Mains (A Bit Average): Spicy Ramen: The noodles had a good chew, but the broth lacked the deep, rich complexity you expect from a really stellar ramen. Even with the spicy paste mixed in, the flavor profile felt a bit flat. Chashu Don (Rice Bowl): While it was a generous portion packed with chopped chashu and minced meat, it ended up tasting a bit monotone after a few bites and could have used more balance or a punchier sauce. Overall, it's a fine spot if you want a quick, filling meal, but the flavors didn't quite wow me enough to make it a standout. Solid, but nothing mind-blowing. read more

Good comfort ramen. This cozy, ramen spot is a combination of great ramen with good value. Started with the karaage and it was a winner. The crust was crispy, and the flavor was great with garlic, ginger, soy notes. The ramen noodles were bouncy and the perfect chew. The soup, cha shu, egg and other condiments were tasty. read more

Really enjoyed the Beaverton location a few years back so I had to give it a try again here in town. Cozy dive in restaurant with bar seating avaliable, was sat pretty quickly and service was nice and attentive. The rice bowl was good, pork chashu cooked just right but wished they added more of that delicious sauce. Ramen was amazing as I remembered and satisfied my ramen craving, plenty of flavor and spice with the miso broth. read more

Awesome ramen honestly. Service was slow on a late Saturday night, but still friendly and apologized for the wait. Once ordered, food comes out fast, and for the price, you really can't beat it. We've been here twice and both times were a bit noisy, but probably just due to the small space and large groups of people. We'll definitely come back sometime. read more

Gluten-free review: We stopped into the Portland location and immediately we're happily greeted. I got the the vegetarian ramen with gluten-free noodles. So savory give a five out of five. My friend got the miso Ramen gluten-free. It's a little spicy, they loved it. Then I had some delicious tea and some cold apple sake to top it off such a great meal! Such a wonderful service. read more

We'll be back next time we're in town! read more

Ramen Ryoma - Note I already ate half the egg - Ramen Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Visited Oregon for the first time and saw this spot recommended on Tiktok in Portland. Very happy I came to check it out! Upon arrival we saw a tablet to put yourself on the waitlist and it wasn't that long of a wait on the weekend. The staff were very nice and welcoming but you could tell they're quick to turn your table over. We ordered the Chicken Karaage as an appetizer and it was so good, especially with the sauce. My gf ordered the Corn Butter Ramen with tofu and egg added. She also got wanted the Spicy Umami Meat on the side because she wanted to try it but was scared to have it in the ramen. I ordered the Miso Ramen with egg and corn. Our waitress unfortunately somehow missed placing my order on her tablet and only brought out my gf's food. After some time I noticed it wasn't coming and flagged someone down. They were confused and someone else came to help. Then the manager came and apologized which I appreciated. He offered Mango Mochi Ice Cream on the house. At least it was acknowledged! The ramen was delicious! We wanted to eat all of it but couldn't. It was a great portion for us. Luckily my gf got the spicy umami meat on the side because it was veryyy spicy for her. Made her tear up! It was a good experience despite having to wait extra for my ramen. I wish I lived in Oregon to return! read more

We decided on Ramen Ryoma for a last-minute birthday dinner, and even though there was a bit of a wait for the three of us, it was well worth it. The place was packed for after 8 p.m. on a Friday, which is always a good sign. My son and daughter-in-law both ordered ramen. She chose the miso broth--their most popular option--and I can absolutely see why. It was incredibly flavorful and comforting, especially on a cold, rainy evening. My son had the shoyu broth, which was also delicious, but the miso definitely stole the show for me. I went with the curry bowl and ate every last bite. It had a little kick to it but was so rich and satisfying. Service was great as well--our server was very attentive despite how busy it was. Overall, Ramen Ryoma is a cute, cozy spot with great food and a lively atmosphere. A perfect choice for a casual celebration or a comforting meal on a chilly night. read more

Ramen Ryoma - Curry Bowl - Ramen Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This place is the best bang-for-your-buck ramen spot in Portland. A group of friends and I went around 10 PM on a Saturday- Ramen Ryoma is open late and was packed, although we only had to wait a few minutes for a table. The overall feel of the restaurant is very cozy, and the small-ish size meant our server was quick to take our order and bring the food. I had the spicy ramen with miso broth and loved it! The noodles were al dente and slurp-able late at night after a few beers. The meat and added egg were also chewy and delicious. The broth could have been a little spicier, but that just means I'll order the two star spiced broth next time. Total price for 4 people with appetizers was $75- truly such a great late-night spot! read more

The food, service and overall vibe of this establishment is wonderful. I always get the Tamago Mayu Ramen, which has black garlic with the miso base for the broth, and it has never disappointed me.

Went late on a cold Sunday night (it's open until 10!!!) well we weren't the only ones with that idea. The place was packed!! We soon discovered why after our first bites. Our ramen came out first (3 types of broth base to pick from) and then the soup style plus add ons. I got the spicy ramen (wish I got the spicy umami which is spicier, just didn't want to push it) and added an egg. Price for the value was there! I happily ate the rich broth and chewy noodles. We ordered a 5 piece Karage as well and the batter was super crispy, the chicken pieces were perfectly cooked and no bones or fatty pieces. For less than $9 this was also a great value. The staff is efficient and kind, loved the welcoming Irrashaimase greeting and the max train whizzing by, it felt like we were in Japan. read more

Ramen ryoma has always been an OG ramen spot. I've tried all the new up and coming ramen spots but always end up coming back here. The menu is simple but the flavors are amazing.

Staff is friendly and food comes out quickly. read more

Always phenomenal! Amazing quick service. There might be a line out the door but it's for a good reason. WORTH THE WAIT

Overall it was pretty mid. The food wasn't bad but it wasn't exceptional. The portion size though I felt was large. You essentially order the broth base and then add on extra toppings priced individually. I thought it was low priced for 4 adults and one toddler at around $66 before tip. Of course that's dependent on all the extras for your ramen and whatever else. I liked the service and it was speedy. I think they knew how to read the room and check in an appropriately desired amount of times. The downside was the smell was really off. Like a stench in the back eating area that had a smell like rotted wood and manure. The stink smell aside this is a decent, lower cost place to eat in a good downtown area. read more

Super friendly staff and phenomenal ramen, even the gluten free noodles were great which is hard to find!

Excellent customer service and delicious food! Couldn't recommend more! I enjoy their curry the most

This place was so good I came here two weekends in a row! On a cold, rainy day this cozy and bustling restaurant truly draws you in. The restaurant was packed the first weekend I went so I sat in the bar but during the second weekend it was much easier to get a table. For appetizers I tried the chicken karaage and takoyaki. Both were amazing but the karaage was my favorite! Prob some of the best fried chicken I've ever had, it was so juicy inside. I recommend ordering the spicy mayo on the side. They had a lot of options to help you customize your ramen. I got the spicy ramen with egg and corn and it truly warmed my soul lol. The egg was perfectly boiled - don't forget to add that if your ramen doesn't come with it! I loved the texture of the noodles too, they were quite chewy and worked well with the broth. Prices were super reasonable. I can't wait to come back! read more

Went in on a Saturday at 915 PM. It was very busy. Staff greets you with a cheer. Had the spicy Ramen. It was quite flavorful. Lil kick. Green tea was delish. Waitress was very nice. They use tablets with a table map so any waiter can close you out. I highly recommend it. read more

Phenomenal ramen! I've heard so much about this ramen shops from lots of friends, and I wasn't disappointed at all when I went. The inside of the shop is small, intimate, and a bit homey. Service was pretty quick and very patient as my group was trying to figure out what to order. My friends and I ordered a variety of the ramen, and I love how you can customize and add-on so many different things. The portions are good, broth is very rich (without being overly salty), and noodles were delicious. Definitely one of the top ramen spots in Portland! read more

Ramen Ryoma - Ramen Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My fiancé and I decided to give Ramen Ryoma a try and were pleasantly surprised! We've had ramen all over--from LA (where we're from) to NYC and even Japan--so we have pretty high expectations. Ramen Ryoma impressed us not only with its quality but also with its reasonable prices. We ordered the Tamago Mayu Ramen, which features a soft-boiled egg and black garlic oil. The egg was cooked to perfection, with a creamy yolk, and the garlic flavor was rich without being overwhelming. It struck a great balance that's not always easy to find. Overall, it was a great experience, and we'd definitely recommend it to ramen lovers looking for a delicious, well-priced bowl. We'll be back! Note: the bowl was a perfect size for me, however if you have a larger appetite, I believe you can order a larger size read more

BEST RAMEN IN PORTLAND. With a super rich miso broth, it is so consistently good and hits the spot. I always go for the spicy ramen with miso base and it's perfect every time. The broth and noodles are hot, meat is juicy and tender, and the bean sprouts are never overcooked. Before their portland location, i would drive to beaverton at least twice a month for ramen! I'm glad they opened another location, one that serves karaage!! Their karaage is a must get as well as their garlic edamame. Every server is very kind, and will stop by to check in at least once, nothing crazy or over the top service wise. The shop is very cozy and well decorated for the space they have. They don't have AC, so if you're coming in summertime be warned and bring a hair tie! read more

Ramen Ryoma was a late-night lifesaver and one of the best meals we had in Portland. We went pretty late in the evening and were so glad they were still open. The ramen was absolutely delicious -- rich, flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and generous toppings. Everything tasted deeply comforting, which was exactly what we wanted at that hour. Service was fast and friendly, and the whole place had a relaxed, no-frills vibe that felt authentic and welcoming. Honestly, this hit the spot in a big way. It was the kind of meal where you finish your bowl feeling warm, full, and very happy. If you're craving great ramen, especially late at night, Ramen Ryoma is a must. read more

Just stopped I for a quick lunch during my brief visit to Portland. Wow. Very comfortable, informal place, but brimming with enthusiastic excellent service, and one of the ramen bowls I've ever had. Just outstanding. I had the "spicy ramen with Shoyu base." And it was very spicy, but also delicious. I would order the VERY SPICY RAMEN, at your peril, if this any guide because while I love spicy food, this was near my upper limit! But the people couldn't be nicer. Highly recommended! read more
