My friend used to live in the area and was surprised there was a new ramen shop in the neighborhood. She asked if I would be interested in trying it, and I was game, of course! We arrived on a rainy Saturday afternoon, and there were already some customers, but overall it was not busy. The staff greeted us right away and took us to our booth. The ladies were very accommodating with my friend's toddler by helping us get a child seat, a kid's drink, and a cute set of Peppa Pig training chopsticks. Needless to say, the kid loved it. One thing worth mentioning is their decoration. It's definitely meant to be maximally decorated with cuteness. On their feature wall, they had floor-to-ceiling shelves displaying Dragon Ball figurines. The rest of the restaurant was decorated with a lot of cute cat decorations. Also, there's no way you would miss the moving ramen advertising light box as it pulls the noodles up and down, grabbing your full attention. Seriously, I could stare at that machine for days. We ordered a black garlic ramen, miso ramen, and a chicken stir-fried noodle, and liked them all. The black garlic ramen has a layer of black garlic oil on top, making it look much darker and intimidating. To our surprise, the garlic flavor was subtle, so it was easy to eat. My miso ramen had a rich broth with two generous portions of chashu, with various toppings including corn, bamboo, wood ear mushrooms, and green onion. I had no problem finishing the entire bowl. We also got a bowl of stir-fried chicken noodles, and it was very generously portioned and tasted good. It was savory with a bit of sweetness. It was a big hit with my friend's toddler, as she kept asking for more. Overall, we liked this ramen shop. Not only does it have good food, it also has fun decorations to keep your eyes busy. If you are in the area and craving some ramen, we would recommend Muteki Ramen and Izakaya! read more

I crave their cucumber salad and with them being not too far from where I live I order it all the time. They put the perfect amount of vinegar and sesame oil. My all time favorite is also Tan Tan Ramen and they have it here! Broth is very flavorful, noodles cooked perfectly and I love the variety of toppings on the Ramen. This restaurant is a family favorite. Next step is to dine in. read more

my mom just got into ramen so wanted to take her to a place in Oregon for ramen! There was a lot of different appetizers so kinda went a little overboard. My favorite was the karaage since it was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Personally didn't like the spicy wontons as much as wanted to. The ramen was not bad. The broth was pretty good and the noodles were thick. I was feeling a little bloated this day so didn't eat as much but everything was still pretty good. It was pretty chill the day I went and they had a lot of cool decorations. read more

The service was great. We were the only ones there and it took the waitress a little while to check on us but she was always friendly. The ambiance is pretty quiet and private where you can enjoy your food. We got the spicy wontons, friend rice, and spicy miso soup. The rice was really good. The spicy wonton sauce was delicious. The miso soup had flavor but I do wish it had more toppings. read more

Came by on Saturday for lunch. Wasn't too busy. Restaurant is decorated with lots of Japanese cats. They have a wall of Japanese anime toys. The food is very flavorful. I ordered a Tan Tan Ramen and Chicken rich broth. And taoyaki. Plenty of seating available. Some booths and some tables. You can also sit at the bar. The taoyaki was delicious. Very flavorful and yummy. I enjoyed the tan tan noodles with a little bit of mild spice. The chicken rich ramen was full of good chicken broth with 3 pieces of sliced chicken on top. Definitely preferred the chicken one because it was definitely more flavors in the broth. Very cute decorations in the restaurant. Umbrellas as decorations. All special unique dining chairs with pictures of Japanese designs on it. read more

Delicious meal here. I had the Muteki ramen which was great. Incredible flavor, egg was perfect, broth was rich. Also tried the shao long bao dumplings; amazing. Really cool inside, one wall has DBZ figurines across the whole thing. Service was great, everyone working there was friendly. Happy to have this place in the area. I will be back a lot. read more

It is a fun place with cute decorations to differentiate themselves with other average and plain looking ramen places. The ramen portions were big and lots of ingredients added. The soup base was amazing! I could just have the soup all day. We enjoyed the atmosphere and happy to have such place in Gresham! read more

Nicely decorated restaurant, good service; however, don't come here if you're on a low sodium diet. Also there is no kid menu or kid size option. I had the #3 ramen. The broth was very salty and the pork was dry. I asked for some vinegar to add to the soup. My 8-year old granddaughter ordered the#11. She liked the broth and said the chicken was tender but didn't care for the bamboo shoots or the egg. read more

We stopped by on opening day (March 5, 2025). It's a great addition to the neighborhood. It is a small restaurant, though they have used the space well, and the interior decorations are really next level. It is very instagrammable. Cozy booths, lanterns, and artificial cherry blossoms really give a great vibe. On opening day they were working out their kinks (food order came out at different times), but the staff made up for it with kindness and attentiveness. We had ramen, which was good (not the absolute best I've had, but lots of toppings, and decent flavor). We also tried their xiao long bao -- it was similarly good, but not the best I've had in Portland (it would be improved if they served it with some black vinegar or other sauce... they did have chili crisp on the table, however, which is nice). If it weren't their opening day, I'd probably go 4 stars. However, I am enthusiastic to have them in our neighborhood, and have high hopes that they'll continue to iterate and improve to a 5-star establishment. Give it a shot! read more

The food was some of the best I've had. The crab puffs were perfect, didn't use sweet cream. The xiao long bao was the best I have ever had hands down! Got all four items in less than ten minutes, constant water refills even though I was only there for thirty minutes. The atmosphere was quiet and welcoming and the decorations were nice; a whole wall of dragon ball figures and beautiful designs of the chairs. Would 110% recommend! Will definitely be back. read more

Broth was good in taste. I like mine very hot to the touch but it was just warm. Chicken and veggies were very good. But like I said like my ramen HOT. Would go back, but will just let them know to heat my broth hotter. Service was good. Forgot our tea. I had to ask her for it. Should have brought it after we made our order. Ambiance. Love the decoration and it felt very comfy. Will definitely go back. read more

Great service and beautiful decor! Loved my noddles and the only Jajangmyeon I know of in Gresham read more

Stumbled upon a new ramen shop at Gresham Station. It's a great addition to the Gresham area. The interior is so cute. I love the figurine wall decorations and cherry blossoms ceiling. Service was attentive and proactive. We came with a toddler and they were wonderful on accommodating any needs my little one have. Very family friendly and food came out quick that makes our dining experience easier with a kid. :) Now, I was so stoked on the food. Before coming, I saw Black Garlic ramen on the menu and that made me wanted to try this new place right away. There's barely any ramen place in the area that has black garlic broth. The one I can recall from is on the West side (too far for me). The ramen came out hot, with huge portions (a lot of toppings), and the garlicky umami broth were amazing! Although the ramen was delicious but I couldn't finish my bowl... the portion size was no joke! My partner got the mala spicy ramen and he liked it. We also ordered geso karaage as an appetizer and enjoyed that as well. For drinks, we tried the cheesy mango fruit tea (tastes like mango slushy with salted cream on top) and muteki house lemon tea (has a hint of fruity black tea flavor with smashed lime). Both were refreshing and perfect for the warm weather we've been having. read more

My friends and I came here on a weekend lunch date about a week after their grand opening and the Ramen did not disappoint. We all ordered the black garlic ramen and some dim sum. The ramen was flavorful, pork was cooked well, and the service was excellent. We love the ambience and the dragon ball z action figure wall. This place is slightly more expensive than most ramen restaurants but the quality matched the price. I would come here again. read more

Food and drinks were absolutely amazing!!! Such a great place and and great decor and such. But horrible customer service, we sat and waited for the check after we finished for 40 minutes. The people next to us just got up and left because no one came to our section. I get it's a new business and such but we don't expect to wait forever. Great food tho! read more

Place is amazing, brought here by a friend as a Christmas present and I'm now recommending it everyone I can. The inside is comfortable perfect lighting and music. The service is friendly and fairly quick. But the actual food you get is quality the meat in the soup is fatty in just the right way so it falls apart when you eat it and get just the right amount of food. Can't recommend it enough. read more

OMG!!! So delicious!! I watched and waited for months for this place to open and it did not disappoint. I had the Tan Tan Ramen. Spicy, but not too spicy. The broth was excellent. Service was fantastic. Very attentive and polite. read more

Horrible service, very rude and racist owner, do not come here. The food is not that good either. Ambiance horrible.

Sooo relieved that they have opened finally!! I was holding my breath because it felt too good to be true that there was going to be a legit ramen place right up the street from me!!! I got pretty used to it not being open and then yesterday I was driving by and the neon open sign beckoned me!! I made a left instead of a right off the street to turn around and get in that door!! So glad!! Ordered to go 2 ramen dishes! Got it home and the serving was large enough I could not finish it all but I did. Haha. I tried the Mala Spicy Shoyu ramen. Spicy for sure but don't take it from me because I really can handle the heat so check that out with your server before committing. The pork in the ramen was so flavorful and tender. While I did enjoy my soup it did seem a bit salty so I took off a star because of. My partner's also was a little salty. I had the #9 and he had the #5. At any rate I've got a brand new restaurant to go to right down the street. read more

Authentic Ramen with excellent flavor and ingredients. We got #3 and #10. The green tea was also very good. We will be back.

Great food, atmosphere, and service. Highly recommend. Please support so I can keep eating here :)

It's now our second favorite place for ramen and it's a lot closer than the west side. I love the tan tan, went back with a friend and she got the black garlic and said it was solid. Service was good both times. Went early afternoon on a Sunday and around 7 on Saturday, wasn't too busy. read more

This restaurant has awesome decor with an entire wall of anime character dolls. I tried their tonkatsu ramen and it was delicious. I liked the ramen they serve so much that I went back to the restaurant a couple of more times. I highly recommend checking out this restaurant in Gresham. They also have dumplings, potstickers, etc. ... not just soup. Service was good and the wait was less than 3 minutes. read more

The ramen was delish and the decor was cute. I am glad they finally opened. Will definitely be back to try more things on the menu!

After waiting forever for this restaurant to finally open, I'm here to say that the wait was definitely worth it. Hands down, the best ramen shop in Gresham. Everything that we ordered was incredibly good. The ramen was full of flavor, the dumplings were on point snd the fried rice was some of the best that I have ever had. The restaurant was packed and it took us a while to get served but that is to be expected when a restaurant first opens up and they are this busy. Once our order was taken, the food showed up surprisingly fast and everything was delicious. The teas and drinks are on another level and as busy as things were, the owner and her staff went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. I am definitely going to be a regular. read more

I can't review the restaurant itself as I ordered out. But that said, I am so disappointed. I had been so excited when I saw this ramen shop was opening up in Gresham. But that was the most bland "authentic" ramen I have eaten. I couldn't even finish it. The flavor was so watered down. The topping selection is great, the chashu pork and seasoned egg was good, and the ramen itself appears good but unfortunately they really need to sort out their broth which to me is the most important part of the ramen. I ordered the black garlic. Maybe not all of the broths are so bland but I won't be eager to spend my money to find out anytime soon. read more

tastes like top ramen thats dressed up, dragon ball z wall corny as hell, and the ai decor was not helping. huge let down for gresham to be honest. service was ok. too many millennials. too many man buns. read more
