    Yuzu Shoyu ramen
    Peter N.

    Had lunch today. First time in. Waitress was kind and showed us the menu items and encouraged the lunch combo which sounded fun. Bill was almost $30/person. Insanity. Food was ok. Location is tricky with parking but whatever, it's downtown Beaverton. We won't come back after being sold what felt like a scam lunch deal. We can get ramen for half that price elsewhere.

    The HIGHS: - We went 2 times during their 3 yr anniversary when the ramen was 50% off - I like the variety in ramens they offer especially the tsukemen (dry ramen with sauce on the side) - The hazelnut tantanmen was surprisingly flavorful with solid spice level - Big windows and evening lighting creates a nice mood The MIDS: - The tonkotsu didn't really stand out to me; noodles, chashu pork, and broth was just fine - Drinks were OK, I felt like there were so many drinks that either had yuzu, lime, or lemon in it (all so similar to each other) - would like to see more variety - Service was fine The LOWS: - None CONCLUSION: - For me, this place is a pleasant ramen place priced on the mid to higher end to take your partner out on a dinner date and drinks. I would skip the tonkotsu ramen and try the tsukemen (dry noodles with sauce on the side) ramen or the tantanmen if you want some BOLD flavors.

    Yuzu tsuyu

    Downtown Beaverton's Afuri is so nice. On my last visit I tried the yuzu tsuyu and chashu men ramen and both were really delicious. I'd recommend these two if you want relatively lighter ramen bowls because the broth from the shio and tonkotsu are too salty fatty, salty and rich. I only sampled them from my family who ordered them but preferred my ramen dishes instead. I will say service could be a little more attentive and detail oriented here. I had to wave down the waiter to get the check on my last 2 visits and the bill was miscalculated once. I would've overlooked this had I not triple checked so make sure to keep an eye on the bill.

    My husband and I loved our dinner here! The employees were friendly and helpful with recommendation, the restaurant was cozy, and the food was delicious! We enjoyed every dish we ordered, and we'll definitely be back!

    We came here for dinner as it was a cold night and something soupy sounds good. It's been awhile since I last dined here. The inside is nice and spacious and well lit. We ordered some drinks, which were good. I enjoyed the Pistachio Sour and their Toki highball. The Tonkatsu Miso ramen was good and flavorful. The service was decent (until the end, we couldn't find out original waiter, but someone else helped us at the end).

    I enjoyed the authentic ramen this place served. I didn't even know they existed until a friend brought me here on a Wednesday evening. We walked over from a nearby restaurant, so not sure about the parking situation, There were a few street parking areas but heard enforcement is strict and you gotta pay to park. The ambiance was great and the service quite good. I normally do my Yelp check to see what is popular then quiz the waiter on what they'd eat if they were in my shoes. You may get some hidden nuggets by just asking that. I settled for a boring glass of water after being told their famous Japanese Whisky was out of stock. Bummer. I ordered the recommended $15 Tonkotsu Tantanmen. This was actually delicious with some spicy undertones. It's made with spicy sesame miso tare, pork broth, garlic bok choy, leek, white soy shiitake mushroom, sesame chili oil, garlic, ginger pork crumbles. I'd recommend this signature ramen. It's quite filling and didn't finish the rich broth. Maybe I should have come here really hungry. Definitely on my list of places to visit when I'm back in the area.

    How do you rate a place like this? Having tasted the "real thing" in Japan (in multiple locations), do you rate as compared to Japan? OK, I'm in the camp the probably no one can make Japan ramen in the states. I don't think it's possible. The pork is different, the ingredients are different, the working hours are different. Read the book by Ivan - Ramen, it explains everything. So being very familiar with the flavors, the first thing is the broth is not even close to being the same. I always order the yuzu shoyu broth ramen. This one just tasted like plain shoyu ramen. Was it bad? no. Was it like Afuri in Japan? No. The noodles and the egg were cooked perfectly. I asked for kaedama, but they don't have it here. No matter since the portion was good. The egg portion was weird, I got more like 1/3 of the egg instead of half, but it was still good. The service is really good and the food was served very quickly. I also got the Afuri Yuzu beer which I really liked - very smooth and the spicy gyoza which looked really good but was ok in reality. The place has a nice vibe and looked very trendy. It's a solid place to get ramen, but don't expect to know what Afuri ramen in Japan really tastes like.

    crispy nasu bun
    Mckenna M.

    I've been to one of the Portland locations for Afuri, but this location must be new since I last visited Oregon. It's definitely very different vibes than the other location. This one is very much more izakaya and casual, while the SE? portland location feels a little more upscale. Crispy Nasu bun: This was good, but I'm just not sure I would order it again. The glaze on the fried eggplant was sweet and the pickled cucumbers and radish? helped balance out the eggplant. However one order is one bun and I think for me it's just not worth it price-wise. Chicken Karaage: Really good fry on the chicken and it was still super juicy on the inside. Came out piping hot. One order is about 5 decent sized pieces. The sauce that came with was alright, I think I prefer spice over mayo based sauces. Yuzu fizz: I really really liked this drink. It was smooth, bright, refreshing, and everything I could've wanted. Would 100% order again. Buta Gyoza: The bottom wasn't as crispy as I prefer, but that's ok. The dumplings were very soft and had decent flavor. Nothing super special, but they were good. Tonkotsu tantan: Very flavorful broth, and the noodles were cooked well. I think the presentation is lacking and there aren't many toppings, but the broth and noodles were good so I can't complain too much. Very hearty and filling. Overall, I'd give it a 3.5/5 but rounded up to a 4 because they did the ramen well.

    The ramen was hot and the flavors were hit perfectly. We came in on a Friday Night thinking it was going to be a wait time like their branch in Portland and luckily this one did not although they were busy. It was probably because of the other available restaurants in the area. The only issue I had with this faculty was that they don't accommodate requests to change the noodle size. The original Ramen dish I wanted had thin noodles but I requested it be replaced with the thicker one and it seems that the server said he couldn't do it. Probably not going to frequent this place if they don't accommodate requests.

    spicy karaage donburi
    Miki M.

    First time coming here since the menu change and it was alright. They lean more towards izakaya and small bites with this new menu so it's more of a casual atmosphere. I used to order sushi and yakitori skewers here, so I was sad to see those are no longer on the menu. I ordered the Suika Soda, a Spicy Karaage Don, and a Takoyaki to share. The drink didn't have much watermelon flavor, it tasted more like a Sprite with lime. The takoyaki was fine, it was the typical deep fried type. The karaage don was my favorite, I like how juicy the chicken was and the toppings and sauce went well with it. If you enjoy ramen and apps with a beer on the side, this is the place for you. I unfortunately am not one of those people.

    So many things to love about AFURI in Beaverton. The staff is super friendly and helpful. They kindly answered all of my questions and from their answers and the way they spoke about the food, it was clear they were excited about the food they make there. The soft shell crab bun with spicy mayo is delightful. The bun is soft and pillowy, and the crab is nicely done. Loved the spicy karaage, too. The presentation is gorgeous, and it's exactly the crispy, flavorful karaage you want it to be. We tried the yuzu shoyu and the tonkotsu tantanmen, and both were warm, satisfying bowls full of great flavor. Definitely amazing on colder days, but I also love this ramen on hot days too! I find the portions here to be just right -- not too much, but definitely doesn't leave you wanting more. The space itself is a good size, it's super clean, and the noise level is decent. The only thing that might be an issue is finding a parking spot without having to walk several blocks, but that's true of this entire part of Beaverton. We usually find something that's not too far away, but just want to share that you may need to walk a few blocks for anyplace in this area due to the parking issues. We love AFURI. It's a casual spot that is great for catching up with friends after work or for family dinner.

    My boyfriend and I were in the area and passed by AFURI - it looked cute so we decided to try it out! Got seated right away and our orders were taken promptly. Our beers took ~10 min to arrive (which was totally fine!) but they offered us dessert on the house for waiting regardless! The ramen was delicious and perfectly portioned, but the service was my favorite part overall. Would highly recommend AFURI if you're in the area. Thanks AFURI!!!

    Yuzu-Kara Tsukemen we got ours warm
    Sylvia C.

    Sometimes you just want ramen, and sometimes you want noodles AND sushi...well, friend, then you've come to the right place. Though Afuri has a smaller offering of sushi/nigiri it does offer both plus fairly good drink offerings. Good for: - date spot - place to meet friends (3-6 ppl, they do have a bigger table but might take awhile) Not great if: - want a quick bite (try Fuddoyama ramen instead) - cheap date (averages $15 bowl/entree so unless you're just ordering ramen, no appetizers, drinks, entrees) NOTE: If you don't like Yuzu citrus then you may want to pass. The prominent note in their signature dishes features Yuzu, and it's not a shy flavor. This time we ordered (favorites*) - Yuzu shio ramen* - Tsukemen (warm) - Karaage with tartar sauce - Hotate (scallop) roll* - Sake (salmon) roll - Green tea* - Beef tartare with ikura & capers - Grilled Saba (Mackerel)* + add $3 bowl of rice Normally, I like the thicker chewier noodles and the tsukemen had that, but I preferred the thinner straight noodles of the Yuzu shio paired with the clean and light broth. The saba mackerel is huge! Plenty to share, and grilled & salted just right. Afuri is in the food corridor off Hall Blvd in Downtown Beaverton, and it's tucked back against a pay-to-park lot.

    This is not just specifically for Afuri but I remember in the past the street was closed for more seating, is that area still going to be open seating area for Afuri customers? Is it still there in general?

    As far as I can tell. The street space has become more developed with a kids area, and recycling cans.

Staff: got our orders. Food: I got their Tori Paitan with char siu for $14. The price was reasonable with the portion they give. The char siu was fatty and the egg was runny. It was piping hot and the soup base was not bad. I didn't feel thirsty afterwards. The noodles were cooked nicely. It is a little further away for me just to eat ramen and nothing was outstanding to me. In fact, I felt a little rushed and couldn't catch up with my friends because of the way the store was set up and few spots. We didn't want to keep chatting because that means other customers would have to wait. So, if you want to quickly eat some ramen, come here.

I can definitely appreciate the effort it takes to make ramen, but it's not exactly a well-balanced, healthy dish, more like a hangover cure... With that being said! For me to give Lucky Ramen FIVE stars is a huge feat! My personal number 1 go-to is the Veggie Ramen w/kale noodles, spicy level 3. Dont knock it til you try it! The broth is the true definition of umami, it's savory, filled with enoki mushrooms, bok choy, bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, tofu, and a soft boiled egg. It's nothing short of filling! The kale noodles taste just like regular ramen noodles and to think that it has extra fiber, yes please. If the thought of a dish being vegetarian is a turn off for you, next best option is the Tonkotsu ramen. The broth is flavorful, rich, and they don't skimp on the meat and other ingredients either! Honestly, you cant go wrong with Lucky Cat. If you ever walk thru H-Mart and see a line for this restaurant, now you know why! :)

It's located in the Timberland Town Center and manages to perfectly balance a modern, trendy vibe with authentic, traditional flavors. Here is why it's a 5-star standout for me: The Broth (The Soul of the Bowl): I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen, and the broth was incredible--creamy, rich, and clearly simmered for hours. It has that deep, milky consistency that only comes from true craft. If you like heat, the Spicy Miso has a perfect, layered kick that doesn't just overpower your taste buds. The Noodles: They get the texture exactly right. You can choose your firmness, and they have that perfect "chew" that holds onto the broth beautifully. The "Bites": True to their name, the appetizers (bites) are not to be skipped. The Pork Gyoza are perfectly seared, but the Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken) is the real winner--juicy on the inside and impossibly crunchy on the outside. The Chashu: The braised pork belly is melt-in-your-mouth tender. They give it a quick torch sear before serving, which adds a beautiful smoky aroma to the whole bowl. The Vibe: The restaurant is clean, sleek, and has a great energy. The staff is welcoming and incredibly fast, making it a perfect spot for a quick lunch or a cozy dinner. Pro Tip: Don't forget to add a Marinated Soft-Boiled Egg (Ajitama). They cook them to perfection here with that jammy, custard-like yolk that takes the ramen to the next level. Beaverton has a lot of food options, but Koku is easily at the top of my list for comfort food. I'll be back again and again!
