Authentic Japanese ramen and rice bowls. We tried both. Every dish comes beautifully presented with an assortment of sides/condiments in varying colors and textures. Feast for the eyes. Great for a family meal out, date night, or solo dinner. (Sorry, no kids menu.) Cozy, welcoming ambience. Excellent, paper lantern lighting. Wait staff speak Japanese and English. read more

I hate writing these types of reviews and if you go reading through my past ones, I tend to leave very few negative or non-positive reviews unless I feel like I have something to say. The decor and atmosphere in here is wonderful, but I feel like everything else was average or left for desiring. I'm not sure if it was because they had one server or that there was a second that just went on break, but it took a while to put our order in. We sat for roughly 12-15 minutes after being given water and menus to see the server again to put our order in. There was approximately 5-6 tables, mostly 2-tops and none seemed to be overly needy. We both ordered ramen and got the takiyaki as an appetizer. The takiyaki was ok, the flavor seemed to have been dialed back but ok, maybe it was just me or something. There were 5 or 6 pieces, when I got it from other places in the past, it's roughly a dozen, but once again, times a tough right now, so ok. Then I get my ramen, the Tomo ramen, the dish with the same name as the restaurant. It advertises to have quail eggs and some other fun stuff in it on the menu. Nope, no eggs, barely any grilled pork, mostly just the ground pork, noodles, and broth. I was disappointed to say the least. The server took some time to come check up on how everything was tasting and at that point, I just wanted to leave. She seemed nice enough, maybe having a bad night, maybe the cook was as well. We don't go out often now because times are tight, but this was disappointing. Really was hoping for something to be at least pretty good. read more

Plentiful and decent amount of food which was tasty. Only disappointment I had was that my beef ramen arrived and the broth was lukewarm which is not how it should be served. Need to do a better job with wait staff and greater attentiveness. I had to get my check at the counter instead of it being brought to me. read more

How awesome to have a joint like this in our neighborhood! The 90's tunes are bangin, the service is quick and kind, and the food is excellent! We all came in on a rainy evening and needed some ramen! Loved the decor and vibe, the excellent music, and we all had a fantastic meal. The bowls are HUGE and made a great lunch the next day. Hubby's ramen was aromatic and delicious, and the tempura was just right! Home run for us - we will be back! read more

Generous portions and flavorful, quality food. We liked every dish we tried, which included rolls, nigiri, sashimi, ramen, and karaage. Friendly, fast service and kid friendly (has kid chopsticks and comfy seating for kiddos). We'll definitely return soon. read more

Tomo Ramen - Unagi Don - Beer Bar Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Just ate here tonight for the first time. Wish I had gone sooner. Had a California roll and a few pieces of nigiri. All very good. Great sake collection. Great, friendly service. Feels very authentic and will bring some Japanese friends Saturday and see what they think. Giving 4 stars for now because it's my first time here. Will try the ramen which, if good enough, may push towards a 5. read more

Went back a 2nd time to try the sushi, and it did not disappoint, shared a bowl and roll with my wife lol. It's fun but a lot of food probably won't be that again but still go get one and get something else another time. Had the peach tea again it's worth the 7$ and the food was made fast and well. Everyone was happy and the place was clean 10/10 again read more

Tomo Ramen - Chicken Teriyaki Don - Beer Bar Near Me - Portland, Oregon

UGH!! They played loud rap music in the background that left me with a headache for the rest of the day. It was annoying and didn't really suit the atmosphere of the restaurant. We ordered the food from a kiosk that was right in front of the door, so if someone was trying to get in, they'd have to wait for the people using the kiosk to move. That layout was strange. The food portion was generous and filling! We ordered the karaage don ($16.60), tonkotsu miso ramen ($17.50), and spicy seafood ramen ($20) and we feel like the karaage don was the best out of everything. The chicken was juicy and I loved the sauces that it came on the side. My family felt like the ramen was average, even a little bland. It did come with a lot of toppings though, which was great. The service was also a bit slow and it was borderline agonizing having to listen to the loud rap music playing in the background while we waited for the food to arrive. I'd recommend trying this place for the food, not to experience the ambiance. read more

I got the tonkotsu ramen and it was alright. The broth was ok, the meat was pretty good, but I think there was a bit too much of the other toppings. Service was pretty good, everything came out quick. read more

Delicious ramen dishes! I ordered a special - Kimchi Ramen -- that was a nice level spiciness and kimchi zing. Friendly staff and nice environment, too. read more

I'm a huge ramen fan and my spicy seafood ramen last night (my first visit) was among the best I've had. The seafood was abundant, and the noodles and spice level perfect. This is a bold statement in Portland, but it's better than Afuri, and less expensive. Not horribly busy (yet). Great service. And Japanese-American owned and operated. I'll be back soon and often! read more

Tomo Ramen - Tomo Ramen's Spicy Seafood ramen. - Beer Bar Near Me - Portland, Oregon

If you've been to the first location on Hawthorne, quality and service is the same. The bowls of ramen are larger than other restaurants. As far as taste, I'd give it a 3/5. Staff was very attentive and the food came out very quick. read more

I was concerned immediately when picking up an order for takeout that felt like it was 20lbs. This place is to Ramen what Saburos is to sushi. Huge portions, terrible quality. The Chashu pork was large, but dry, too thickly cut, and tough chunks of fat. But the worst part was the Tonkatsu broth which should be the star. It's like they ran low on broth, and then watered it down with tap water. My wife will normally eat anything we've already paid for, but once she tasted the broth, she put her utensils down and went hungry. It was that bad and concerning. Overall just a bizarre experience. They should cut the portions in half(or more) and focus on quality, otherwise I don't think this location will last long. read more

With many good reviews and a cute restaurant vibe we gave this place a try... and immediately regret our decision. This is the most low brow ramen we have ever encountered. The broth, which for many ramen shops is often the star of the show, was so watered down there was no flavor. The meat was dry, tough and flavorless. The noodles cheap and unappealing. The food, while abundant, was inedible. Adding condiments did not improve the fare. I hate wasting food but this ramen was so terrible we couldn't eat it and threw it out after a few bites. read more

Best ramen in town. We loved the Hawthorne location and this new location in Woodstock lives up to the legacy. Noodle to toppings ratio is perfect, broth is super flavorful, and service was excellent. Highly recommend. Great layout for kids! read more

Big portions, tasty, and quick service! I could go on but I am too busy eating the delicious chicken Ramen I just ordered while enjoying a beer and sake. read more

staff are friendly, the place is clean and has a nice modern vibe with mostly black and red colors. the ramen was alright. i think it needs a bit more noodles and a bit less of everything else. they don't skimp on the toppings thats for sure! The cha su pork was honestly a bit too much because they gave alot of very thick slices, but they melt in your mouth and actually have flavor compared to other places. The prices may look a bit high and im not too sure if its worth the price, but you do at the very least get a very large bowl of noodles. read more
