We ordered the Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen and the Vegan Curry Ramen with an added chicken tender. It was really good and flavorful. Definitely will be coming back and trying other items on the menu. The service is wonderful, the lady was very helpful wish we got her name. read more

Food: 3.5/5 Service: self service, you order at the counter, pick your own seats, and bus your own table. Ambiance: 4/5- cozy dinner vibe with low lighting, good for a chill night out. The restaurant is located in a nice area, though parking was a bit hard to find. There's plenty of seating inside and they also offer outdoor tables, which is a nice option. They feature seasonal ramen specials and this month's theme was pumpkin. Ordering was easy and straightforward, with each ramen bowl having a helpful description. For appetizer we got the shishito peppers to try, the chili mayo that came with was so good! The peppers themselves were a bit too oily for my taste, but a squeeze of lime really elevated the flavor. We got: spicy garlic ramen ($18)- definitely a bold flavor, leaning on the saltier side. It felt a bit heavy after a few bites. the black garlic shoyu ($17) was more mellow, and the noodles soaked up the broth nicely. Both bowls came with perfectly jammy eggs. I didn't try the chashu, but my boyfriend said it was smoky, super tender, and not overly fatty basically the ideal cut. Overall: I'd come back to try more from their menu! read more

I always get takeout from here and the black garlic tonkotsu ramen is so flavorful and rich. I recommend getting the thick noodles because they hold the flavor well! read more

The ultimate rainy-day recharge--one slurp and your worries dissolve. This places ambiance was fantastic and the food was delectable. Service was good for how busy they were, we were the beginning of the dinner crowd. We got the Pumpkin Tantanmen, which I recommend since it's the fall special and temporary. It's not that spicy like a 5 out of 10. My friend got the mild curry ramen. Our favorite part was the broth and pork belly. I would recommend getting extra serving of pork belly. The noodles were good but we both thought they could've been a bit thicker. We also shared a 2 piece order of jumbo tenders and they are def JUMBO! I got the curry flavor and it was soooo good. I saved the left over for my broth. Our only complaint was the table we got was super janky, like it had a missing screw and was wobbly but we survived and didn't spill. Parking can be rough but doable. I hope you like it. read more

We had the curry ramen, Tonkotsu Shoyu, and the Vegan Tokyo Shoyu. The curry ramen was the best, it was amazing if you go here you should definitely get that. The service was good, there was no wait, and the food came out quick and hot. It was a comfortable setting. Plus it was counter service, but even though it was counter service we still got to sit down and someone brought our food over. I usually don't prefer ramen but the curry ramen was the best ramen i have ever had. read more

Brewery hopping on Mississippi, easy walk to Matsunoki. Indoor ~ cool vibe with a walk up bar. Nice furniture & decor. Two walls of windows for natural lighting. The weather was too nice and ate outside at the picnic tables. Fried Chicken ~ large breast tenders, nice crisp on the outside, tender & juicy inside. Dipping sauce tasty. Ramen ~ Black Garlic intensely strong, deep broth, on the verge of too rich. Noodles perfect al dente. Service was welcoming but the typical counter ordering and tip before you eat is whatever. read more

I was at the coffee shop next door and lunch time snuck up on me. I walked through the hallway into this ramen shop around 1pm and it was pretty empty. I ordered the black garlic ramen and a peach margarita. The ramen was delicious and you could smell the garlic on it! I wish they had more toppings like mushrooms and bamboo shoots but their additions were very limited which was a bummer. I like my ramen bowls to be packed! The pork piece in the ramen was the best I've ever had!! Or was a thick, fatty piece of pork that was very delicious! I feel like most ramen places give you dry, thin slices of pork but this pork was amazing. The broth was also tasty and I definitely kept drinking it when the noodles were gone. I enjoyed my peach margarita too! I've never had a peach margarita but I felt like this was refreshing! Overall, a great spot with great food! I got my ramen quickly too. Check this place out and get some coffee next door! read more

Matsunoki Ramen - Black Garlic Shoyu - Ramen Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This place is amazing. I wished I had to chance to dine in as the ambiance is nice and spacious. We got the vegan spicy garlic ramen and the vegan spicy curry. Both were savory, filling and had the right amount of heat. The tofu was marinated and well seasoned. The curry one was my favorite but both were really solid choices - can't go wrong with either They have a nice variety of vegan ramens with different flavors and their service was awesome, very kind and considerate even though I was just there picking up the food. read more

Yum yum yum. We were looking for some ramen that packed a flavor punch and found it here. The Tantanmen spicy miso ramen was beyond delicious. So flavorful and creamy, spice level just a slight burn, nothing crazy. The tofu (and I'm not a tofu eater) was melt in your mouth and full of flavor. The pork belly was not that flacid chewy stuff you see elsewhere, it was compact pieces with a crunchy side that were a delight to eat and not a chore. We also had the winter special Singapore Chili Crab Ramen that had a fried soft shell crab in it. Also delicious! This broth was a little more sour, but oh so delicious. We WILL be back! read more

A cute shop with delicious ramen! Upon entering the aroma of broth filled the air. It smelled so good, and thankfully the ramen did not disappoint. I got the spicy garlic ramen and added corn. The broth was creamy but still light, not super salty or sweet tasting. The broth was super rich and tasted like it had been simmering for hours. The noodles were perfect and there was a LOT of it in the regular portion. The meat was thick and a little on the dry side, but still really good with the ramen broth. My egg was overcooked so I was a little sad about that. You order at the counter and seat yourself, thankfully there were still a few tables open when we arrive during dinner time as they did get quite busy! I would definitely recommend checking this place and I'll be back to try their apps and drinks too! read more

The service was nice. Order first then sit down. They have a bar if you choose have adult beverages. I had the tonkotsu shoyu -spicy. The broth good could be a bit richer and noodle texture was good. The pork(charsu) was charred, bland/non marinated and a bit tough. read more

Matsunoki Ramen - Tonkotsu Shoyu (spicy) - Ramen Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This is one of my favorite places in Portland! Great for groups as it is in Pine Street Market which has a few food options inside. You order and there is shared seating in the middle. I always go to Matsunoki Ramen every time I'm in town. The broth in the ramen is amazing! I always order the Tonkotsu Shoyu (without egg) and a side of chili sauce so I can control how spicy it is (I'm a baby). read more

Matsunoki Ramen - Tonkotsu Shoyu without egg - Ramen Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Newish spot for ramen! It's counter service so you order and pay at the counter and they'll bring out your food. The menu has some apps and cocktails but not a ton of variety. There's plenty of tables and even outside seating. The cocktail came out timely but our ramen was done and just sitting there in the kitchen because staff was slower. Ramen was a bit cold but that's okay. Flavor was good but service is a tad lacking. read more

Great new ramen spot on N. Mississippi! I just finished my vegan spicy garlic ramen and I'm already planning my next trip. The best thing about this place is there are just a many vegan ramen options on the menu as meat. They seemed to be a little short staffed today. Maybe they didn't plan for the possible mother's day rush. The staff was nice, but didn't apologize for the wait. I'm going to chalk this up to this place being new and all the employees possibly being new. Ambience was nice. Great looking bar and they also have some picnic tables out front. I'll totally be back!! read more

An excellent spot for ramen - yummy noodles, a variety of broths, and the crunchiest chicken strips. The space is clean and the servers are knowledgeable efficient. The ramen was so good, I went back a week later and it was just as satisfying. read more

Matsunoki Ramen - Tantanmen ramen! - Ramen Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I ordered from Matsunoki tonight from my lunch break, and being a discerning ramen enthusiast, I was skeptical, as there are only a few ramen joints in Portland that I consider top-tier for taste and quality... This was absolutely one of them! I had the spicy shoyu with chashu pork and a soft boiled egg, sprinkled with green onion. I subbed the thin noodles for the thick ones and that was totally the right decision. Firstly, the broth was sumptuous, full of rich umami flavor, accented with a spicy garlic oil. The noodles were outstanding, with perfect al Dente texture and soaked up the broth's flavor perfectly. The chashu was some of the best I've had: cut slightly thicker with a seared crust that accentuated the pork belly's unctuous flavor. I enjoyed every sip and bite and honestly could've had seconds, it was that good! Bravo, Matsunoki for making ramen like I've eaten in Japan! I look forward to eating there again! read more

Cute corner street location, Friendly service, order upfront, find your seat, and food was brought to your number table. Ramen was tasty, flavorful and filling, good portion size. I would return! read more

One of the best ramen spots in Portland. We used to go to the one in Pine Street Market and loved it. We were happy to see that they got their own place on Fremont. We like the atmosphere and this location has cocktails read more

I would like to give 4.5 stars. My grandma and I have made it a tradition to go to ramen shops once a month in Portland, this month was this shop and I can say without a doubt this is the best one we've gone to so far out of 5 or 6 different ones. Highly recommend, regular tonkatsu shoyu is rich and simple, and their black garlic shoyu was very flavorful! Definitely recommend, definitely would come back. read more

YUMMY RAMEN!! The location is very clean and organized. The food options were nice and simple. I got the spicy red Ramen and it was so good! Everything was really seasoned properly and the spice! Finally some good spice! Definitely cannot wait to go again. Only issue is finding parking but other than that, I would give it a try! read more

2.5 stars. Service ok. Vegan garlic shoyu - too much broth, too oily, noodles thick and Al dente but not enough, toppings very stingy, tofu too fried and lacking flavor while tough/chewy, broth flavor decent, still hungry after finishing. Tonkotsu shoyu - flavor ok, too much broth, too much noodle but al dente, very stingy toppings, one piece of pork belly that was burnt, egg mediocre, acid reflux set in right away. Would not recommend. read more

I had the black garlic ramen and fried gyoza and it was delicious! Definitely coming back again and again.

The food was incredible! Way better than I was expecting, highly recommend. Make sure you try both the ramen and the chicken!

Placed a pick up order that had a pick up time for 7:10pm10/12. arrived at 7:15 for pick up. Line for order and several people waiting for online pick up. Nobody's orders were made and the place was very behind. Waited until 7:30 before asking for an update on order. Server said they would check and started making drinks never gave me a status on the order. Continued to wait until 7:46 before deciding to cancel order. Charged full amount food was never ready or prepared and now I'm unable to get a refund for what was paid through Uber Eats since they use Uber Eats for their online orders. Lost an hour trying to try a new spot. Didn't even end up trying it. Went to a trusted ramen spot and ended up paying for dinner twice on a Sunday night. read more

I really wanted to love this place, maybe today was just not their day but I had a pretty miserable experience. Waited 45 minutes for my food, with zero indication that this would be the case, and no one checking in to let me know my food was still coming. Started to worry that it would come at all. When it finally got to me, the ramen was very tasty, however completely missing the pork belly apart from a few tiny pieces. My friend that was dining with me got a nice big piece in theirs, but not mine (I had ordered the Tantanmen, which claims to also come with pork belly). Not sure what happened today, but likely won't be visiting here again ): read more

Stopped by looking for some good ramen on a typical cool overcast PNW day. Just a few customers but it took me over 30 minutes to get served. I watched 3 tables come in after me and get their meals. It wasn't until I asked about the delay was I told my order had been "lost"? It so happens I am an African-American male. The meal was alright but the service spoiled my experience. I will neither be back nor will I recommend this place. read more
