KOJA Ramen and Bulgogi - The spicy shrimp bento box. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Newberg, Oregon

We had been seeing the sign for this for so long so one day we took a leap of faith and I am glad we did. We happened to catch it the day the new owners took over. The waiter was amazing. He is kind, nice, funny and it was is first day too. We have a favorite ramen place in Portland but living in Newberg I don't want to make that drive often but the other ramen joints around have been sorely disappointing. At least until Koja. We got potstickers which were great. No complaints. Then we both got different ramens and they were amazing. The broths were flavorful, clean and rich. The meat and veggies were fresh and overall we enjoyed it all. We have since been back twice and each time it gets better! It isn't as amazing as the Portland spot but it is a close second that we will 100% keep going back to. read more

This place was great!! We went here for lunch on a Friday. We got the beef bimimbap and the veggie yakisoba. Both SO flavorful. Our server James recommended adding the fried tofu and we're so glad we listened. It was all wonderful!! Even my husband who doesn't like tofu enjoyed it. James was so friendly and kind as well. It was really nice inside too. Will be back soon read more

10/10 SO GOOD! We will definitely be back to try everything on the menu. If the owner/ server gives you suggestions, just say yes!

Hands down the best ramen I've ever had. After my first time here, I could not stop thinking about the food. We had to go back the following day for more, it was that good! The restaurant has a great atmosphere and the service has been fantastic. This is our new favorite restaurant! If you're in Newberg you absolutely must visit KOJA! read more

KOJA Ramen and Bulgogi - Tonkatsu black with sautéed mushrooms - Asian Fusion Near Me - Newberg, Oregon

We've been here twice now and it's one of our favorite spots now! Always greeted warmly by James! The food is so good, fresh and big portions! My husband loves their kimchi and I love having the option of getting a green salad instead ;) The ramen and spicy pork were standouts for us! read more

KOJA= Korean / Japanese fusion - yum! Lovely food and atmosphere - the owner's son was our waiter and has a ton of personality. He made the visit fun, answered all of our questions, and gave us some of his mom's kimchee to try. We will definitely make this a regular stop for Asian food. read more

So happy we have this place close work. Delicious Raman and Bulgogi. Support this local spot in Newberg. James is awesome!

A few weeks back, we ended up in Newberg after strawberry picking in Sherwood for my birthday-eve. I wanted to try food around this area since we're rarely driving out this far for a casual meal. I finally decided on KOJA and I'm so glad I did. The day that we dropped in, they were training a new server, but even with that happening, we felt very well taken care of from start to finish. They gave a full rundown of their favorite items and recommendations, and cracked a few jokes that made us feel comfortable and relaxed. There was only one other party in at the time, but after coming here, I'm truly surprised it's not packed more often. We had the Tonkotsu Black ramen, one of their Bibimbaps (they added in some seasonal traditional veg for fun), and their Chicken Yakisoba. I was pretty skeptical at first when our server claimed to have the best ramen in Portland. But after trying it, I couldn't deny it. The broth tasted as if it were simmering for hours. It had so much depth and wasn't coming off as too salty. I loved the chew of the noodles (I'm someone who prefers a firm texture, so this was perfect for me). The egg was properly seasoned and had a decent jamminess. And that slice of tonkotsu was really flavorful, without being too fatty. We ended up taking the Yakisoba home because we filled up on the portion sizes of the other entrees. But even reheated and after a few hours, it was still so good. They used a sufficient amount of chicken. And the noodles weren't super oily but had a great deal of flavor. There are very few ramen spots we've taken a liking to since moving to Portland. But this one really hit the spot. If it was closer to us, we'd be here way more often, so this place is definitely a must if you find yourself in the area read more

KOJA Ramen and Bulgogi - Beef bulgogi plate with yakisoba - Asian Fusion Near Me - Newberg, Oregon

I've been wanting to stop in here for some ramen, and finally got the chance. Took my fiancé and her youngest daughter tonight and we were not disappointed! One thing to note is that this place is very small with only a handful of tables so if you go at a busy time prepare to wait for a bit. We were greeted right away and got sat. Our server was so friendly and helpful and his service was amazing, it really made the experience great! On got tonkotsu black with a medium spice level. It was delicious, the pork belly was so tender and perfect. Noodles were also perfect. If I had one thing to complain about it would be that the broth was Luke warm. I wish it was a lot hotter, but I'm not going to take points off for that, the flavor makes up for it. We also got the beef yakisoba which was also really good. We tried the potstickers which were good as well. I'll be adding this spot to our rotation, it's so nice to have great ramen so close to home! read more

Food is good. We had the soup and goodness delicious. And the services as fast and welcoming environment.

Absolutely amazing! The ramen was delicious and the service was excellent! The chashu doesn't look like much but explodes with flavor in your mouth. The broth is rich, the noodles have the perfect bite, and they had some new things they were testing out that they let us try that were also so, so good! I cannot recommend this place more :) read more

KOJA Ramen and Bulgogi - Tonkotsu Ramen - Asian Fusion Near Me - Newberg, Oregon

We tried going on a Tuesday, they were closed for repairs, fair enough. We tried going again on Wednesday (the day after) and the host let us know they were out of ramen. The frustrating part is they use a chatbot when you call in, I called before our visit on Wednesday and the chat bot let us know they were open but not that they were out of ramen. KOJA looks nice but we won't be returning to try the food, not worth the drive for us. read more

Great stop after wine tasting! We tried gyoza, japchae, and Miso Chicken. Service and food were wonderful.

We tried Koja Ramen for the first time last night with our family. The food was well presented and taste was great. The Yakisoba noodle plate was delkcioud and overly greasy which was nice. The pork belly on the Ramen was so tender and flavor was amazing. Gyoza were perfectly crispy. Smaller dining area was packed with folks waiting for seating but the server was efficient and the host kept drinks filled frequently. read more

I had an amazing experience at Koja Ramen and Bulgogi! The chicken miso ramen was incredible; so flavorful, tasty, and easily one of the best ramens I've had in years. The portion was packaged perfectly for takeout, with a thoughtful cardboard base under the soup container that kept everything stable and made it easy to carry home. The service was also excellent. The gentleman who helped me was very kind, welcoming, and provided great service throughout my visit. Great food, great attention to detail, and a wonderful overall experience. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Wonderful family-owned restaurant with a cozy atmosphere and outstanding service. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive. The food was the highlight -- full of flavor and very generous portions. I ordered the Tonkotsu Black Ramen and my daughter had the Miso Chicken, and both dishes were equally amazing. It's hard to say which one was better! Highly recommend this place if you're in the area. read more

KOJA Ramen and Bulgogi - Pork belly ramen - Asian Fusion Near Me - Newberg, Oregon

I had their pork Ramen and they definitely know how to do it. The pork was perfect and it was so yummy.!!!

This is the new Vineyard Grill. Apparently the Bar is still there but not owned by KOJA. The new owners were super friendly with great service. The Bulgogi portions seemed smaller than past owners. We may have not had the best cut of beef as it was a bit grisly. Great taste and we loved the sauce! read more

Stopped here on the way back from wine tasting. Very authentic Korean Food. The bulgogi was a little dry but the flavors are on point. Staff has good vibes read more

Got the Seafood Ramen and it was delicious. The inside is small but cute. For being new owners their staff was super friendly and hustled. Would definitely be back. read more

Ramen soup and noodles were fantastic! So very full of flavor!! Had the black garlic and I can't stop thinking about having it again. I'm in love!! The bone broth soup is amazing. Full of flavor and thickened from cooking for so long. And the service was very friendly and prompt. read more

Nice to see more asian food places in Newberg! Very exciting! Service was good- James was very passionate and gave us solid recommendations. Tonkatsu Black Ramen was flavorful and well seasoned. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu! read more

Rock solid food and drink options. Scratch made pork broth ramen, and house made kimchi show off the real deal Japanese Korean fusion!

The food was incredible, as well as the service i will be returning for more delicous noodles.

Went here on Tuesday and they were unexpectedly closed, which it happens. Came back on Wednesday and they were out of ramen, completely. We left, very disappointing :/ really wanted to try it!! read more

This place was over the top amazing. We ordered the tonkotsu ramen level 4 spicy. The broth was super rich and flavorful without being watered down and or overly thick. The pork belly was the best I have ever had. The owner was our server he is very friendly and attentive and very humble. The place is super clean and relaxing. We were supposed to go again the next day but ended up having to leave early. This place is so underrated. As someone who lives for traveling and trying all types of cuisine. I will tell you this is a must! We can wait to go back! I wish I would have taken a picture of my food but it was too good to stop and take pictures. read more

Food and service were amazing! You can tell the family loves to share their recipes! I would go recommend this place to anyone wanting some traditional bulgogi and ramen! read more

So happy we stopped here! Awesome menu! Open on Sundays! House made Kim Chi! Fresh and yummy! Terrific friendly and helpful staff. Will be back! read more

Super friendly and effecient service. Food was excellent--I had the spicy pork bento and everything on was done right and good. This family owned place just opened this week so give them a try. If you are a local you know this plave has changed hands and been renamed a few times...best version yet. I hope they keep up the high quality. The slim cocktail menu was creative and most were made with sake...the Mango one was tasty. read more

Food was tasty and the spice level was perfect. Service was above and beyond! Definitely would recommend to everyone!
