Customer service has always been my weakness. The placed ROCKED it! We stopped in to eat and our payment app InKind would not work with the POS system. The team tried to make it work and called the manager to see what the issue was with the system. After they couldn't get it fixed, they offered our meal at no cost since the app and system was not work. I offered to pay but they refused. Thanks! The place is loud since it's a food court, however it's manageable. The spicy noodle bowl was fantastic, the food was great and I will be back again. read more

Matsunoki has been one of my go-to ramen places for a long time now. I used to frequent this place almost weekly, back when I had a recurring event downtown that put me a block away from Pine Street Market every Thursday, and my order was always either the Spicy Red, or the Spicy Garlic Ramen. You can't really go wrong with either, so your choice really depends on how close you're planning on getting with someone later that night because, lemme tell you, post-ramen garlic breath is a thang. Most ordering is done by kiosk these days, but the employees are fast and friendly. Awesome portions and great value for your buck. read more

After seeing a TikTok about this place, I couldn't wait to stop here. It did not disappoint. I got the spicy garlic ramen. It was extremely flavorful and fresh. The portion was perfect too! Only downside is it took a really long time because they were super busy. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Went here with a friend on a rainy day. The upside is that for my fellow veg friends, theres a decent number of options. The vegan spicy garlic was something I was super excited to try and while it was spicy, there unfortunately was not a lot of appreciable flavor. Definitely warmed me up on a cold day but not my favorite. My friend got the curry ramen and truly enjoyed how flavorful hers was. read more

Bold Flavors & Generous Portions - Ramen Done Right Matsunoki Ramen in Portland served up one of the most satisfying ramen experiences we've had. The portions are huge--definitely come hungry. The broth is rich, the noodles are perfectly chewy, and you can customize your bowl with flavorful add-ons like their house chili paste, which adds a great kick without overpowering the base. We also ordered the shishito peppers, which were incredible--flash-fried, perfectly salted, and served with a chili dipping sauce that made them addictive. Seriously, don't skip them. The ramen itself was hearty, flavorful, and comforting in every way. One bowl felt like a complete meal (or two!). It's the kind of food that hits the spot and leaves you thinking about it the next day. Total comfort food with great execution. Highly recommend if you're in Portland and craving ramen with serious flavor and serious portions. read more

Sorry for the bad photo, I started eating and then took one haha. Super good ramen place in a fun location! So much flavor and a good amount of meat. Egg was cooked perfectly as well. It was fun to sit at the table watching them cook, although, I did see the main dude wiping his hands on his dirty pants and then grabbing things to cook, but I assume anything bad was boiled/cooked off. They seem to have unique bowls in rotation too. Might be my second favorite ramen place now! read more

This ramen place is the best in town in my book, been there 4 times in this week, visiting from California, Brandon and all staff very professional and friendly, best customer service ever and the food is top quality, i highly recommend this place to everyone that is near here. Thanks again for great food. read more

Ok, here's my honest review. I took two stars away as I wished I read the Yelp reviews before I ate the ramen. It is because...my cousin and I sat at the bar table, watching the whole nasty thing they did not wear their gloves (well, one of them wore them), wiped their hands with seemingly dirty towels and on their aprons, wiped off their sweats from their forehead/nose, held the bowl with their thumb that touched the soup!!! and omg we're not lying. Sadly, we witnessed the whole thing and we were like should we go to a different ramen restaurant? We stayed. We got our ramen. They turned out to be amazingly delicious. We ate the whole thing. ‍ what the heck??? read more

I've been here a few times now and the food had been consistent and quick. The limited options makes ot easier for me to choose what to eat. During this visit, I ordered the Black Garlic Shoyu ramen with a side of chili paste. The broth had a good flavor to it and the egg was cooked perfectly. Other than my piece of pork being overcooked, it was a good meal. read more

This ramen shop was located inside the Pine Street Market food hall. Not sure if you can place an order with an employee, but they had 2 screens at the counter for you to place your order. My order was for their tonkotsu shoyu ramen. They'll call your name when your food is ready. The broth was good, not too thick and overly greasy. The ajitama was on point. That was a solid bowl of ramen. I came here at around 3 pm on a Saturday so it wasn't crowded at all with plenty of available seating. read more

Our food came out fairly quickly, and we only used the self serve order kiosks. I ordered the chicken tenders and tonkotsu ramen. The ramen was good and the chicken tenders were alright (seasoned okay but the curry sauce that it comes with was delicious and made up for it). The ambience of the food hall was good! There are a bunch of other smaller food places nearby to mix and match. read more

Hands down my favorite place in Portland to get vegan ramen! I love bringing friends here because they have non vegan and vegan options. The staff is always friendly but they are often busy so if you're looking to take your ramen home, I recommend ordering ahead. My favorite is the vegan spicy garlic ramen! So full of flavor and wonderful spice level. Located in the Pine Street Market - We went on a Saturday evening and dined in - the trash in the Pine Street Market was unfortunately over flowing and smelled bad. The tables were dirty so I had to wipe a table down using napkins. But please note that I am rating Matsunoki Ramen 5 stars because their food is phenomenal! read more

I had the black garlic ramen and it was pretty bland. They also forgot to add the pork belly so I had to ask for it, maybe the chef forgot to add salt to my order as well (although I assume the broth is pre-flavored). Also had the chicken tenders, they didn't taste like karage, so watch out. Pork belly was good though, and that's about it. My criteria of a good ramen is where I would like to drink the broth as well, no matter how bad it is for me lol. This wasn't it... sadly. read more

Super yummy ramen! My friend and I ordered the spicy garlic ramen, shishito peppers, and jumbo tenders. For my ramen I added extra chashu and egg. It was very filling, the chashu was super yummy and cooked perfectly. The shishito peppers had this orange sauce that paired perfectly with the peppers. And the tenders were filling. Overall great ramen place and service was friendly. read more

Second time at Matsunoki. It's located inside the pine street market, a food hall with a variety of delicious restaurants and a bar! I was disappointed by this visit because I thought that the vegan red ramen was bland, and the tofu was a bit sour. I would definitely try again because my first experience was positive. read more

I was super excited to try this spot because I wanted the pumpkin ramen. Unfortunately when we got here they were sold out (must be good!). Ended up ordering the curry ramen while my partner ordered the spicy red. Mine was pretty standard curry flavor with no surprises but I loooooved the broth on the spicy red. I would go back just to have that ramen again. As a side note this place is tucked inside a cafeteria style establishment, with a bar! read more

Ramen was a bit lacking. Got the spicy ramen which was not spicy but that is to be expected due to everyone's palette. Could/should give an extra side of spice in most cases then. Ingredients were very lacking. A single bland pork belly. Whole egg was not marinated either. They almost got it done right, half the egg was fully cooked, usually you want it still very liquid. Other than scallions, no other toppings which would be expected. No mushrooms, seaweed, corn, bean sprout, anything? They did have some bits of tofu which was good in its own right but could have added a crunchy component by using hard tofu instead of soft. Service did take a while to make however it was the first bowl, so that may be a good or bad sign, haven't decided yet. Everything is self serve and bussing. I do like this pine st market cause there are several shops in the same building that you can order and then eat it all together. Unfortunately, it takes about 30-45 mins before all the shops are ready to take orders so don't get there too early. Service great. Ambiance was meh, meant for quick eat and go. Can see the place getting crowded and noisy. Overall, a good time, but likely won't be back for ramen but will try other restaurants. Others weren't ready to put orders so only had ramen. Happy eating! read more

My gf and I came here for wing week. The inside is really cool. We decided to sit at the counter, and got to watch the chef prepare and that was fun to watch. The wings were fantastic, and had the most amazing rice bowl I've ever tasted. The pork belly though. How do they get it so tender! 2024 most tender cut of pork goes to Matsunoki Ramen. Will def be back read more

Absolutely loved the food here!! Not a ramen fan but this place has become a favorite. The menu boasts of a variety of options to choose and customize from. We ordered vegan Tokyo shoyu, vegan spicy garlic ramen and Singaporean chilli crab. 3 different spice levels, distinct flavors, all yummy. Decently prized, good quantity of food, value for money place. The staff is super helpful in further customizing the already flexible menu based on your needs. Tokyo shoyu and Singaporean crab were moderately spiced , the vegan spicy garlic ramen was the showstopper. I highly recommend this place read more

We wander here after checking Waterfront Cherry Blossom trees. This is located at 2nd and Pine in an indoor food hall. Lots of good food choices to choose from. I ordered a Chili Crab Ramen bowl. Came with one crab on top of my ramen. There is an egg in there with some greens and tofu and thin noodles. Very flavorful and delicious. Came out hot and spicy. Mild and flavorful. The soup was delicious. Great for cold rainy weather. read more

A new ramen spot in town, part of the Pine Street Market. All their ramens sound and look super good. It's hard to choose but I went with one of their Winter Specials which was a Black Truffle Ramen. It came with a thick slice of Pork Belly, Mushroom, and Truffle Butter. Super unique combo but worked very well. Their broth was flavorful but not too salty. A good balance of truffle. Noodles were on the thinner side but very well-cooked. Ramen egg was also great, albeit a bit cold. Their Pork Belly was seared until crispy on the outside but still very tender; never seen a place done this before. I was happy with my order and they're kind enough to re-make it when it came out cold the first time. Solid staffs and service. My partner got the Black Garlic Shoyu Ramen that also hit the spot especially the copious amount of black garlic oil on top. This place is definitely contending for best ramen in town for me! read more

It had been a long time since we had been to Pine St. Market downtown. There are less restaurants now than when we used to go and it wasn't overly busy. I got the vegan pumpkin ramen that is a seasonal dish. It had large thin rectangles of tofu, pumpkin, pumpkin seeds, what looked like collard greens in a spicy broth. I'm not sure what the broth is spiced with but I tasted star anise that verged on bitterness. It lacked salt though so I went back and asked for salt or soy sauce or whatever they had. I was given a teeny amount of a salty liquid (not sure what it was) but it want enough. My husband was sweet enough to go back and ask for more. I understand you can always add but you can't take away, but a good chef always tastes their broth and knows how to season it well. I just couldn't finish all of this because I got tired of the taste. I don't think I'll be back. The workers were friendly though. read more

The spicy mazeman is SO GOOD. highly recommend for those looking for something spicy. would definitely come again.

I was feeling the need for fried things and decided to get the chicken tenders. The staff were all friendly, and the chicken was clearly freshly fried. It was just quite dry even with the sauce. I feel like it just needed a little less time in the fryer. The portion size was quite sumptuous and flavors were otherwise good. read more

Wanted to see what this ramen stand at Pine Street Market is like after being taken over by a new owner. Got the Tonkotsu Shoyu ramen and while the broth was good, the overall bowl felt like it was rushed. Also, the toppings were a bit boring: just a slab of cha shu (was pan fried nicely though), an egg, and tons of green onions. No other vegetables or greens or garnishes. Also, the egg was cold inside, so you know it was done before and dropped in without thinking of warming up, and what really turned me off was the slight flour taste to the noodles. This usually means they didn't rinse their noodles before cooking or they didn't rinse it properly and was probably rushed. The overall menu seemed like it really catered to the tourists with the deep fried foods like popcorn tofu and fried chicken, but I felt you can get more interesting ramen elsewhere in town. read more

INCREDIBLE! The most delicious ramen I have tasted so far. Every detail, the noodle, the egg the pork, the soup, mouthwatering!

Arrived at 630 pm in person with a hungry crew and was told it would be 40-45 minutes to get food- and we wanted to order RAMEN! When we inquired of the cashier why the long wait, she said it was due to the number of online orders. Unbelievable that they would turn away a party of 5 hungry customers standing at the counter to prioritize online orders! We had a hungry toddler in tow and so went elsewhere to get our meal. Maybe the food is that good, but we'll never know because the service was anything but customer forward... read more

Stumbled upon this ramen while visiting Pine Street Market. I love these types of food halls with so many options in one spot! Tables a little dirty and flies near the bussing station. We got the Tonkatsu shoyu ramen, spicy tonkatsu, and fried tofu. The sauce for the tofu was enjoyable, and on the side which was great for the kids. The tofu itself was crunchy and flavorful. I would get it again while we are waiting for the ramen. The tonkatsu shoyu was a bunch of green onions, one piece of cha siu, and one full egg. The egg wasn't as flavorful as we like but still very good, my son ate 3 eggs. I kind of appreciated that there wasn't a ton of veggies (filler) in the ramen as some other places do. The cha siu was a bit too chewy for my younger son but I enjoyed it, as did my older son who ate more than his one piece. He liked it soaking up all of the soup. The soup was definitely the highlight -- it was extremely flavorful and a bit thick, really excellent broth. My husband got the spicy version of this ramen and didn't like it as much. Stick with the tried and true I say! Service was fine, nothing special. I would get it again if I was in the area. Plenty of street parking available early in the morning and at early dinner (around 5:15-5:30pm), though I also see multiple parking lots nearby. Free self-serve cold water available. There's also restrooms which require a code. read more

Oh.. my.. god. I'm not the type of person who leaves yelp reviews, but my experience dining at Matsunoki was so exceptional that I felt convicted to download the app and tell the world how I feel. The two managers, Emma and Brendan, were incredibly personable, attentive, and talented at their craft. The service was EXTREMELY fast- it felt like as soon as I'd sat down, my beautiful meal appeared in front of me. And when I say talented... this was hands down the BEST ramen and fried chicken I have ever had in my LIFE. Go here and order the seasonal pumpkin ramen and crispy chicken tenders- you won't be disappointed. If you see Brendan, ask him to tell his mustard joke... HILARIOUS!! Wish I could give even more stars. read more

This place honestly hits as a 3.5 for me and if it wasn't for the delicious popcorn tofu and sweet service...I would have ranked this a solid 3.0. I dropped by with a friend on a weekend and surprisingly found parking right by Pine Street Market woohoo! It's nestled inside with a few other eateries and honestly so cute! Definitely casual but also had a warm, welcoming feeling. We knew we wanted to get the popcorn tofu and the shishito peppers but were both debating what to do for our ramen. The specials were all pork based so swayed away from that but I loved the sound of the vegan spicy garlic ramen whereas my friend somehow got the tantan men but with vegan broth. First off, the popcorn tofu was the clear star and I would absolutely have them again. Shishitos were good and the dipping sauce was nice but nothing super interesting or new. I would say that the noodles themselves were good and the broth was spicy.....but also so freakin salty. I'm all for flavor but good lord I wanted to POUR water into the broth to make to palatable for me. My friend liked her ramen but also said it felt like there was something missing. I just could not overlook the salt in my ramen and felt like it absolutely detracted from the overall dish and experience. It's a bit of a toss up as to whether I'd go back here -- maybe for the popcorn tofu but I'm a bit wary of the salty ramen that made me chug water when I got home AND when I woke up the next day. read more

Visited Portland for the weekend and happened to stumble upon Pine Street Market. There were a lot of food stands and I'm so glad we chose Matsunoki! Their ramens are OUT OF THIS WORLD!! I got the Tantanmen & my partner had the Spicy Red Ramen. Both are just so delicious. You know that a ramen is good when you do the first broth sip and you just melt. The chashu had the perfect sear and it's really what makes or breaks the ramen. It sparked me and my partner's search for the perfect ramen in Seattle. We just started our journey today and realize that the bar that Matsunoki set was high. read more
