Some very nice and surprising touches here make it feel like the best of homestyle and restaurant eating. The menu is straight out of Mama's kitchen... curry rice, gyoza, ramen, karaage, tskoyaki, and more, but let's face it... mom wasn't quite this good. The curry had just a perfect balance of spice, enough to warm you, but not enough to bother you tomorrow, and so much umami! Karaage was so good! Moist and so flavorful, and such a nice crispy crunchy coating (served absolutely molten hot!). Miki liked her ramen, but that was not the highlight. What was? Gen.Mai.Cha!!! So perfectly prepared to a deep green, redolent of roasted rice and such a generous full mug! Y'know, lots of folks offer matcha, sencha, ujicha, and more... but few seem to have mastered one simple rule of preparation. If it must be steeped, for Ebisu's sake, don't overdo it! If your tea is brown, not green, Portland, you are doing it wrong and no amount of hipster "oh, I've been to Japan and trained under somebody with an impressive sounding name" will excuse poor tea making. Here's a hint. Ifyou are steeping for more than a minute, you are likely doing it wrong. Just read the directions, would'ja! We loved it. We'll be back! read more

Parking: Street parking. There is validation for a parking structure but we did not try that based on previous reviews that validation did not work. Food: - SHOYU MAZESOBA. Enjoyed this dish. Lots of toppings but they were not necessary. The pork was tender and cooked well. The noodles were thick and chewy. Yum! And there was enough flavor to go around. Got the extra large because I was hungry and I was very happy to have the extra noodles :). - TONKOTSU WITH BLACK GARLIC. The broth had good flavor and you could taste the black garlic. Noodles were thin and cooked well. Service: Fast and friendly :). The restaurant was not crowded on a Wednesday for lunch. Order at the counter first and seat yourself. Food came quickly. Ambiance: clean, spacious. read more

I have a standing meeting in the area, twice a week. One of those tends to abut lunch, and Yokohama is a frequent stop. The last time I was in, I took several of my coworkers and we made a feast of it. The interior is that semi-industrial chic look that is so common in Portland -- high ceilings, exposed HVAC, very clean and Spartan furnishings. It's quite comfortable, and pleasant to be in. Your order at the counter, and your food is delivered to your table very shortly thereafter. There are a number of option which are available and a variety of upgrades which can be added On this particular trip, I got the pork miso Ramen, adding half a soft boiled egg, and green tea. I am a particular fan of that, but have sampled around the menu and it's all excellent. Parking is highly problematic. You need to be in the area and fairly committed to the process as it's all on-street parking and highly variable. If you're already there? Pretty awesome choice. If you're going just to eat there? Some planning is required as well as fortitude -- you may be parked several blocks away, depending on construction, etc.. Food is exceptional. Highly recommended. Worth the hassle factor. Not 100% sure that I would make a trip just for the meal, but given that I'm in the area? Complete no-brainer. read more

An excellent new Ramen addition to the already impressive Portland Ramen scene. Order at counter, space is very light filled and open. Had the Spicy Tonkatsu with black garlic oil. Noodles were nice and springy, broth was deep, very good overall. Karage chicjen was very crisp and juicy. Maybe not in top tier of Portland Ramen, but solid! read more

Came here for lunch on a cold day. Located at the Yard on the NE side of the Burnside bridge. This ramen place offers hot ramen dishes that will warm your heart. I ordered the Japanese Curry over rice which is a common comfort food on a cold day. This plate did not disappoint, the curry was very flavorful and the rice was perfectly steamed. They also did not skimp on the protein (choice of chicken or pork). I would come back again to try one of the many bowls of their ramen they have to offer. The service was super friendly. read more

We ordered delivery so cannot speak to the friendliness of the staff or cleanliness of the restaurant. The food arrived on time and the order was what we had expected. That packaging was done very well keeping the broths separated from the noodles. I'm not a ramen connoisseur but the broths had great flavors and the proteins were very tender. The seaweed salad was pretty normal, the karaage was juicy with a crispy outside layer and the Takoyaki was also good. Everything tasted great and we all enjoyed our meals read more

Food is so good! Service is fabulous! The food is a little pricey..I got ramen, gyoza, and edamame and it was $32. Personally would skip the edemame next time, nothing to it like they do at Afuri IYKYK. Side note: parking in the garage was a TERRIBLE experience. The $2 voucher from Yokohama didn't work and the auto parking attendant was zero help. Took me half hour to get out of the garage. read more

I really enjoyed my ramen here! The noodles were cooked perfectly, there was a healthy amount of each side ingredient, and the egg was cooked exactly as it should be for ramen. I drank all of the rich tonkatsu broth at the end of my meal. The iced matcha latte was delicious too! My only critiques are that the spicy tonkatsu wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be, so maybe there should be togarashi on the table, and while the selection of bottled Kirin, Asahi, and Sapporo is applauded, there should be one on draft. I also wish that the chashu was just a litttttle bit fattier, but chalk that up to personal preference. They offer discount on parking in the building lot, which is nice if there's no street parking nearby. read more

Yokohama Skyline Eatery - Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Portland, Oregon

No complaints about the service nor the ambiance. Very friendly staff in a clean modern spot near the west end of the Burnside Bridge. I wish I could like it better but the value for this meal wasn't there. Portions were small for the $17 bowls of noodle as were the over-priced apps. The noodles lack substance and chew. The broths were very muted in flavor. For the prices paid, I had hoped for something above average. Located near convention center, OK if you're looking for something more than fast-food. read more

I'm pretty much a ramen snob. Hailing from California, I've had plenty of delicious ramen in the Bay Area and beyond. I have yet to go to Japan, but California has some bomb ramen spots, and my standards are high. Not many places in Portland piqued my interest when searching for a good bowl of top-quality ramen during our anniversary trip, but Yokohama Skyline Eatery certainly did, especially when I read that the ramen was served Hakata style. It was a hot day, but nothing has ever stopped me from getting a bowl of ramen during a heat wave. My husband and I (and one other individual) were the only ones dining in. The ambiance was nice and quiet, and the restaurant was very chic and clean. You are required to place your order up front before taking a seat. Both of us wanted the tonkotsu ramen w/ black garlic oil, and we both added corn for $2 each. We also paid for chili oil to share, which was only an extra $1. The man who took our order was friendly and welcoming as well. We took a seat by the giant windows up front and people-watched while waiting for our food. I absolutely love giant windows in restaurants, and the natural light that comes through. In less than 10 minutes, our bowls of ramen arrived. I believe it was the chef himself who brought our bowls to our table, which was such a nice touch. We were both so excited to dig in. Upon having our first taste of broth, we were blown away by its richness. The chashu was melt-in-your-mouth tender. We didn't even have to chew the meat. The noodles were absolutely perfect. Adding the chili oil to the ramen only enhanced its flavor. I loved the black garlic oil, and the egg was perfectly yolky. There was plenty of menma as well. I didn't want to slurp all my ramen quickly, but man this bowl hit. It wasn't heavy either, which I've experienced at other restaurants in the past. Yokohama Skyline Eatery is definitely on par with some of the best ramen restaurants I've had in the Bay Area, and I wish we could have gone back for another bowl. There are so many options on the menu! This ramen restaurant is definitely on the top 5 places I would eat at again the next time we visit PDX. read more

Yokohama Skyline Ramen is simply very good. The spicy tonkotsu ramen was outstanding. The broth had really clean, balanced flavors--rich and satisfying without being overly heavy or salty like a lot of tonkotsu can be. Every bite felt well thought out. On top of that, the service was extremely friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Places like this are easy to support. Portland has a lot of ramen options, but this one stands out for its balance and hospitality. The restaurant was empty which made me sad. I'm hoping to see this spot getting even busier in the future--they definitely deserve it. Support small businesses! read more

Yokohama Skyline was such a great find. It's a clean establishment with excellent and friendly service. I ordered the miso ramen which was buttery yet light with pieces of corn, bamboo shoots, your choice of pork or chicken, in a nice broth. The noodles were cooked perfectly with a small chew to them and so yummy. My husband ordered the tantan which was super rich, had an egg, bamboo shoots, a bit of spice, and ground meat. They also have matcha and hojicha, so of course I had to get that! There's plenty of seating to bring friends, family, or to be solo. read more

I was craving ramen for lunch and stumbled upon this hidden gem! Conveniently located near Knot Springs in the NE area, this place is newly renovated, clean, and offers an inviting atmosphere. The ramen was outstanding--packed with flavor and generous toppings. I ordered the pork ramen, and the meat literally melts in your mouth. The owner provided excellent, friendly service, asked how my day was and the food arrived quickly. I had the Tonkotsu with black garlic ramen, and I can honestly say it's the best I've ever tasted. As a fan of black garlic oil, I was impressed by how authentic and flavorful it all was--no need to add anything like chili oil or extra shoyu. This spot deserves all the love. It's a 10/10, and I can't wait to bring everyone I know here. The chef in the back is a true ramen master. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and check this place out! They've just opened, and I know they'll quickly become a local favorite and I'll come back as much as I can to try more! read more

Yokohama Skyline Eatery - Tonkotsu Ramen with Black Garlic Oil - Ramen Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We came in on a Saturday night, the place is clean but quite empty. Only one table was occupied. We went up to order at the cashier, then sat down at a table. Service was friendly. I got the tonkotsu with garlic oil and my partner got the regular tonkotsu ramen. The noodle is chewy, but the broth is quite mild and the egg does not have the perfectly creamy yolk that I love. The slices of pork I got were quite fatty. One of them is almost completely fat. On the contrary my partner's bowl had pork that was very lean and tough. If you love a mild soup base that you can drink, this may be the spot for you. However personally, I will not be back. read more

The food was delicious, the service was superb, and it was a very nice and clean place to eat. Not far from our hotel.

First impression: strong cooking smell inside the restaurant--the ventilation needs to be fixed. I really didn't want my clothing to smell. Other than that the restaurant was quaint and well kept. Service: smiles and friendly Food: tonkatsu ramen: broth was pure, milky and porky, and not overly salty (which I appreciate and finished the very last drop). The creamy yolk of the egg was nice. It also has bamboo shoots, green onion, and seaweed. The noodle was fairly standard. The char siu was tender with just the perfect amount of fat to be tasty and unctuous. Nice neighborhood eatery for a quick meal read more

Yokohama Skyline Eatery - Tonkatsu ramen - Ramen Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We are such huge fans of Chef Toshi and Chef Mick. Not only do they have excellent hospitality but their food is part of our regular craving rotations. Both my partner and I were born and raised in Hawaii with an abundance of Asian food, so we've not been impressed by a whole lot of Asian restaurants here. Yokohama Skyline Eatery is up there for us, and definitely hits the checkboxes for us. We love the food, the ambience, and the chefs behind our meal. Would love to see more people finding this place! Things we love here: Tonkotsu ramen with black garlic oil Chicken curry rice Pan fried gyoza Chicken karaage The restaurant feels very homey, modern and clean! We absolutely love coming here for a break from chaotic hustling downtown scenery. Parking can be difficult, given that a lot of local residents take up the street parking. But MLK 5 is a public garage. Can be a little costly but a great option across the street, especially since this is one of the least expensive ramen joints in Portland--that's also delicious. read more

Best ramen yet, fresh soft noodle that pair with the flavorful broth. Handmade gyoza also a must have. Spicy ramen wasn't to hot heat wise, the black garlic was strong and paired well. Parking outside kind of sucks but that's to be expected in Portland. Will be returning for sure, clean inside, good friendly service, it has everything you'd want read more

10/10 solid bowl of ramen, just like Japan. Parking is street, and yes it's near knot springs. You may or may not run into some transients but it's by a bridge and in MLK. Upon entering it will feel like you've entered an otome ramen game. Place is very clean and modern, the menu is simple and displayed on the giant lcd screens while Lofi music plays softly in the background. I knew I made the right choice when my bowl of Tonkotsu black garlic ramen came out and it's soup broth was gleaming with a viscous thickness, only akin to holy amounts of collagen! Yasss! Finally! Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen: 5/5 Noodles were chewy and perfect. Broth was rich and full of umami. Bamboo shoots cooked nicely. Piece of thick pork was soft and thick. Hojicha latte: Green tea latte was so SOLID' you can tell they use high quality Japanese green tea. It was very fragrant and refreshing. Karage fried chicken: 5/5 They only use chicken thigh meat here so it was super tender and juicy. The batter was double dipped and very light and crispy, just like they do in Japanese pubs. Takoyaki 5/5 Super solid! Service was good and the bar master was very attentive, they are very kind and you can tell they work hard. Make sure to bring cash to tip them in the tip jar. Also be wary that you may not have reception in this area~ read more

Had to come back and write a review after going to Toya Ramen a few blocks away which was absolutely lackluster and gentrified compared to Yokohama which is absolutely delicious and authentic. The people who work here care about sharing their love of their culture through food, and it shows. No frills or any gimmicks at all. Just a hole in the wall that cares about making delicious and authentic food. Will most definitely come back here. read more

Been seeing amazing reviews for this spot and was very excited to drop by. Can confirm, their ramens are very good! The shop is super homey, staffs were all very friendly and hard-working. Their menu is sufficient with a few varieties of ramen broth and meat options you can choose from. We went with the Creamy Tomato Ramen and the Tonkotsu Black Garlic Ramen. Both were very flavorful and delicious. The broth of the creamy tomato was so unique. There were parmesan cheese and pesto that went very well with the well-balanced tomato broth; I loved this one more than I thought I would. You also get thicker noodles in this one -- amazing. The corn and chicken toppings were fresh. The tonkotsu ramen was also well-executed. Rich broth from pork bone and the garlic oil added a layer of depth to it. What I like was how tender their chashu pork was, without being overly fatty like most ramen places. The Chicken Karaage was also 10/10. Very tender chicken and fried to the perfect crispiness. So glad to have another solid ramen spot in town! read more

My husband was in the mood for ramen and needed some uplifting of his spirits after a rough day so we decided to waddle on over to Yokohama Skyline! Street parking can be hard in this area sometimes but we found a pretty good spot nearby. Just FYI if you're going at a crowded time! The interior is cute and clean with some charm. You order at the front then sit down and wait for your food. My husband went with the shoyu ramen with chicken whereas I grabbed the vegan miso + added some chili oil to it -- I saw it came with bean curd and couldn't pass up on the opportunity for some deliciousness. Ramen wise, I'd say my dish was pretty tasty! The chili oil was also actually spicy so mission accomplished. The bean curd was tasty, had a fun texture, and a nice protein for a vegan dish! My husband finished his ramen in about 7 minutes so I feel like that says it all l o l Overall, this is more of a self service, no frills type place but the food is definitely good and worth the price as is the service. There are a couple of veggie options but not a plethora so that's my only warning as a leaf eater to other vegetarians/vegans that pop in! read more

We came here for the first time and it's worth stopping by! You order at the door and the food comes to you as they make it. I got the vegan miso with chili oil and the edamame. The miso came with bean curd which is essentially another word for tofu. I loved the seasoned bamboo along with the other toppings that came with it and was a decent portion. My friends ordered the tomato ramen which almost had a pizza scent to it, but they liked it as well. Definitely unique The ambience inside is really nice, well lit up with a beautiful city canva behind where we were sitting (not pictured) The gentlemen serving were so friendly and accommodative. We even got spices at the table since we love our heat and extra bowls to share as well. A welcoming addition to the cultural cuisine in Portland for sure read more

We tried this place first time this week and immediately went back the next day for a second meal. The food is amazingly good. The taste is very well balanced. I really like that the ramen broth is rich and drinkable, not those too dense sauce-like broth. I can't get enough of the pan fried gyoza. It's crispy on the outside and flavorful & soft on the inside. The fried chicken is so juicey with a crispy skin! delicious! Dessert crème caramel is great too. Love the food here so much! The owner is very friendly and we felt so welcomed there. The restaurant is very clean and has a clam ambience. I could sit there all day. read more

Food is good. The owners are very kind. Restaurant is VERY clean. We went during the ice storm in January of 2024, so the quality of food may have been a result of the food not being as fresh from lack of food truck deliveries. I was hoping the ramen would be hotter than it was. The miso based ramen was really good though. We also ordered the spicy ramen which was not as good in my opinion, but my partner enjoyed it. I would return to try more. read more

No fuss tasty lunch spot - had the shio ramen with pork (they ask if you want it with pork or chicken) and clean tasting broth with al dente ramen. Partner got the black garlic Tonkatsu ramen and it tasted good as well! The gyozas were crispy and not over-fried, gyoza sauce was oishi We got 2 green tea ice teas, flavor was not diluted. Would def come back if I'm in the area! read more

I have eaten here at least 100 times. It is my favorite ramen spot in all of the PNW. I have had ramen in Japan, in Greece, all over Portland and many other places and yet this is by far my favorite. I always order the Shoyo ramen with chili oil and extra chicken. The Matcha is delicious and the Chicken Karage is incredible. Beyond just the quality and exceptional flavor however is the remarkable service. I am always greeted with a smile and the 2 employees who I always see know my order by heart. I love this place and will continue to eat here long into the future. I also saw some people mention smoke or a lack of ventilation. I have never noticed this or had an issue. The restaurant is always very clean and feels fresh. I 100% recommend this place to you. read more

service: 10/10! the kind gentleman working behind the counter was super helpful and courteous! he brought us waters and took away our dishes when there was a sign saying that we were supposed to self serve ourselves. ambiance: the vibes were giving. food: solid ramen, flavorful broth. kaarage was $9.50 for 7 pieces, i like how it was lightly battered and juicy and tender. it made my friends eyes roll back. i got the shoyu ramen with truffle oil! the broth was very flavorful and the egg was the perfect runny consistency. the ramen noodles were bouncy and on the medium to thinner side. for the price, i think this is a pretty solid ramen place!! read more

Really good food and nice place. I felt the the broths were on the lighter side but I like that style. I got the Shoyu because I always want a more clearer broth. So I was happy with my choice. I like that you have options for your protein, chicken or pork. They have a Japanese curry but it is not katsu. It is the protein mixed with the curry. The service was sooooo sooooo nice come support local and try out the food. I hope they do expand more of their menu because it was delicious read more

Yokohama Skyline Eatery - Tonkatsu Ramen. - Ramen Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Stopped in twice the last week exploring the menu. It's a little hidden, on the bottom floor of the Yard, the entry on 3rd, below street level of Burnside. Looks like it's a double space of the first floor retail for the building, with the right side when you walk in having a bar/counter area that would be at home in any small ramen shop or sushi bar. There's a view into the kitchen when you come in, as well as a generous amount of seating. A maneki-neko and a self-service station sign greet you on the way in, and there's a TV with a digital menu on it, and you order toward the right. Atmosphere is a little weird with the gym on the floor above, and depending on who's in the gym. The first time I was in there, there were a lot of thuds and rumbles of weights being dropped, though the second time I was in there, I think I only heard weights being dropped once. My first time in, I really wasn't feeling ramen, so ordered the curry and the gyoza. Nothing fancy about the presentation of the dumplings, but they were exactly how I like them - steamed slightly in a thin shell, and pan fried to give them just the right amount of crispiness. The dipping sauce was a little unusual in that it had a slight amount spice in it, looked like some shichimi. While the dumplings were great, the curry was nothing special. My favorite in town is at Kale, and Kinboshi has a solid curry as well, but the one here seemed a little bland to me. That being said, there was a generous amount of cubed pork, as well as the potatoes, carrots, and onions having fantastic texture - it was just that the curry needed a little something to elevate the flavor profile. I stopped in a second time since I wasn't comfortable leaving a review based on the curry, and I'm glad I did! This time, I ordered the karaage as well as the creamy tomato ramen. Again, very spartan presentation for the karaage, with only a single lemon wedge accompanying them (no aioli). That being said, the chicken was fantastic, with a nice crispy outside and a super moist marinated chicken on the inside. The real standout was the tomato ramen though. A rich broth, with lots of umami, with a well balanced tomato flavor. The thick noodles had a great texture too them, with a nice bouncy spring as well as good mouth feel. The broth was definitely non-traditional, with spinach, corn, grape tomato, some shredded parmesan, and even a dollop of basil pesto, but man, the flavors and textures all worked really well together. The pork chasu was solid - not the incredible, fatty, melt in your mouth, but the 3 medallion-like pieces of pork were tender and flavorful. Definitely worth wandering in here, even if it is a little off the beaten track. read more

I really enjoyed eating at Yokohama skyline eatery. Located in the yard building, I really liked how their layout of the restaurant is. When you walk through the door, there is sitting to the left and right of you, and they present their menu on a large screen. When I went, it was not busy, however, it got busy when I was about finished with my meal. I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen with Black Garlic Oil. When my order was being taken by the server, he was very kind, sweet, and informative. He provided us with a number, and we picked out a table and waited for our food. The wait time was not long, since it was not busy. The Ramen is extremely good. I really like how the Ramen comes with the noodles and various toppings. The broth is one of the best broths I've had ever. I think next time I would try the Gyoza or a different type of ramen. Definitely a good place to check out if you're interested! read more
