We came here on a whim being in the area and not sure what to eat. So glad we came! Apparently it was happy hour? Sunday at 3pm? I'll take it!! We got ramen and a chicken karaage plate with two beers. $40 total not bad! We are both kinda picky with ramen and karaage and both were delicious! The pork was so tender and the broth was nice and light. Service was great, sweetest server and she was by herself, she was holding down the whole restaurant (no delay in anyone's service). Lots of food options and great space for seating. High recommend coming here. read more

Ninja Ramen - Tonkatsu Pork Cutlet Ramen & Chicken Karaage Bento (comes with lots of items). Two beers also! - Ramen Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

Loved the ramen texture, healthy broths, and Takoyakis. Tonkatsu was flavorful and satisfying but a bit starchy. It was delicious with some spicy oil. Tomago garlic was nice and garlicky, especially at first taste; the garlicky flavor does diminish quickly as your taste buds acclimate. Service was great. Menu and floor were kind of sticky. read more

Ninja Ramen - Tonkotsu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

Tucked in the center of a super-diverse Asian eatery strip mall is this subtle ramen shop. Fairly small dining space (seating for 30 max.) decorated with Japanese imagery and playing K & J- pop on a tv screen, nothing fancy but comfortable. Seems equal number of customers dine in as takeout. Pricing and value was pretty average for a ramen shop with noodle bowls ranging from $14 to $18. Portion size was also average with a noodle bowl filling us up but not to excess. We had the black garlic oil tonkatsu ramen (very tasty with a hearty broth), and the chicken ramen (basic tonkatsu broth plus 3-4 pieces of kaarage batter chicken). The noodles were firm and slightly thicker than most ramen houses. A B-grade, which means 4 stars......downgraded due to each bowl being a bit skimpy on the "toppings." The toppings were cha shu pork ( 2 very skinny pieces), a soft-cooked egg, and a few bean sprouts & green onions. If you wanted additional items, basically add $1 to $3 for each item. Other ramen shops typically include more toppings for about the same price. If in the Hillsboro area, this may be the best ramen option, and we'll definitely give it another try. read more

Living in LA we have a ton of great ramen options. When we came to Oregon, my niece suggested we meet here for their ramen. Unfortunately I think I've been too spoiled living so close to Little Tokyo...Ninja Ramen wasn't what I expected and not in a good way either. I am pretty open to when it comes to visiting new places but Ninja Ramen didn't make the cut. As you can see, we ordered a number of different items including their ramen and karaage. The broth was lack luster and have had better for sure. I compare it to a churched up version of Top Ramen. The pork was chewy and had no flavor at all. The noodles were way too thick for ramen and didn't give an option how you would like them to be cooked. The toppings were ice cold and brought down the temperature of the broth which didn't help. The karaage was decent but not as good as I expected since they have a banner in the front looking like it was of their specialties. Bento box pork belly was cold and chewy just like in the ramen. Overall it wasn't a good experience. Ambiance: 7/10 Service:7/10 Food:4/10 Bathrooms: 7/10 Cleanliness: 9/10 Value: 5/10 Will I Return? Sadly, I will not... read more

Tried this spot for the first time and i ordered the deluxe ramen to go. The boiled eggs that came with the ramen was spoiled. I couldn't even eat my ramen anymore. It was disgusting. read more

Overall this was a really great place. It was obvious that they used fresh ingredients made to order. The vegetarian gyoza was the best I have ever had. It was incredibly fresh with pieces of edamame inside, which I had never seen before, but added something delicious and unique. My only gripe was I got the vegetarian ramen, which was served with a salad on top. If it was only spinach that would have been fine, but I get grossed out, if my lettuce gets hot broth on it. Once I put that aside, the rest of the ramen was delicious. I liked the miso broth, but my husband found it to be a bit salty. read more

I've been all around the west Portland area searching for another that can compete but for me, Ninja has the best pork broth. I've tried about 3/4 of the menu across the last couple years and have never been disappointed. The deluxe tonkatsu ramen is my favorite. I like to eat about half my noodles and then get an extra order of broth and take it to go, making two big meals. I would recommend eating in person so you can have the big bowl and wooden spoon, but they package well for to go orders too. If you do to go, don't pay all the extra fees with DoorDash etc, just directly call the restaurant. There is usually one server who is always kind and quick. I enjoy the music videos they always have playing, it makes it feel like a little piece of Japan tucked In Hillsboro. They've recently come under new ownership but the recipes and quality have remained the same. They have some new promotions going on and have kept their punchcard program going (buy 10 get one free ramen!) read more

Went here around noon on a weekday with a few buddies of mine. I ordered the tan tan men and takoyaki. The tan tan men was just okay. It wasn't anything that tasted out of the park but it wasn't too bad either. I do respect that they do not use any MSG in their broth. No complaints on the texture of the noodles and the broth was okay. I could probably pass on the takoyaki next time. I do like that the takoyaki had a crispy exterior. No complaints about the service. The server did a great job handling our group of 6. Price, quantity, quality: 7/10 Portion for price is alright. It's not ridiculously expensive for a decently portioned bowl of ramen. I could say the same for the takoyaki I ordered as well. Is the quality there? I'll let you people be the judge of that one. Again I will give credit where it is due on the fact that they do not use MSG. read more

Solid ramen, good combo options, and kids meals! I had the chicken karaage ramen because I'm not huge on pork. The broth was flavorful, and the chicken was moist. Very filling as well. read more

Deluxe ramen was outstanding! The pork belly and toppings made this dish really good. The corn topping was such a nice touch, best broth on our ramen crawl so far. A solid #3, price is very reasonable for this areas Ramen places (about $1.50 less) The owner makes her own chili oil, chunky and spicy, add if you like spice, such a nice flavor. Thank you read more

The ramen tasted like packaged ramen from uwajimaya. The shrimp tempura was nearly and strangely square shaped. The Sapporo beer was quite good. This is not a good food experience suggest going to one of the great ramen shops in Portland. Service was so so waitress never checked on me so I had to get her attention from her phone when I needed her for something no ambiance. read more

Ninja Ramen - Chicken Karaage Bento Tonkatsu Pork Cutlet Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

On Thursday night, which is my Friday and my teen's Sunday, I decided to treat us to some expensive take out. I had seen other reviews of Ninja and sure enough we could get it delivered to our house. It took a while to come ( our delivery driver waited at the restaurant for a while) but when it arrived we were pretty satisfied. We ordered: 1) peach milk tea with boba ( teen liked this) 2) edamame ( also liked) 3) tonkatsu ramen with pork katsu, egg, and corn. It was nicely packaged with the broth separate and directions for heating it. The egg was not jammy any more ( you could see where it had been in the middle, it just sat too long), the meat was deemed chewy by teen, and there were not quite enough noodles to satisfy my hungry kid. Kid declared this a four. Kid eats a lot of ramen. 4) Chashu Don for me. The pork was tender and fatty, the rice was perfect. I had to remove the green onions and sesame seeds because I can't eat those right now. I hadnt seen them in the online pics. Nevertheless, it was delicious. Needed a little more sauce so I dumped my gyoza dipping sauce on the rice. Sorry chefs. 5) gyoza - really good. Dipping sauce okay. 6) an expensive can of Sprite for me. Shrug. It is what it is. I wish there was a green tea available w/o boba or fruit but no biggie. This was a delicious meal. For all the kid's " there aren't enough noodles" it became two meals in the end because the teen couldn't finish it. I like how it was packaged. I love that there is no added MSG. I am hoping we can go in person one of these days and have it fresh and piping hot with a perfect egg. Good stuff overall. read more

NO MSG ラーメン directly from Japan! Hitsumoto Taka and his wife Chiga own this business and proudly display certificates about Ramen making, earned while they lived in Japan. This restaurant opened up just less than a year ago, as the pandemic started, yet that didn't stop them from keeping the business open! This restaurant reminded me of an awesome place when we visited Japan . It is COZY and even though it's a shame that we can only get delicious Ramen TO GO now, you can order through the Yelp/GrubHub app or even better: Directly on their website https://ninjaramen.square.site/ ‍. - Get FREE RAMEN! When you pick-up your order, make sure to get your punch card. We ordered the delicious Tonkotsu Ramen ($10.95) and added an egg ($1.50 each, highly recommend you look at the options!) and it was delicious, the pork meat MELTS in your mouth and the NOODLES are thick and tasty. The Chicken Karaage ($7.95 for 5 pieces) was crispy yet meaty and very well seasoned. As for the Vege Spring Rolls (2 for $4.95) and the Gyoza (5 for $6.95) I understand they were tasty, I didn't get to try them. ‍ This was my first time trying the Tonkatsu Ramen ($19.90 with a boiled egg in it) and I'm not a fan of it because I believe that the tempura pork should be out of the broth, but that's my personal take and my intention was precisely to try new things. Your mileage might vary. Next time I'm getting Tonkotsu or try the "Deluxe Ninja Ramen". また近いうちにお会いしましょう read more

My son and I came for the first time and had a really good dinner. The service is friendly and fairly quick (there was only one waitress doing everything). We opted for the tonkatsu ramen and spicy Miso, both in the combo with spicy chicken karaage and gyoza. The spicy chicken was worth the $7 with good flavor and portion, the gyoza were smaller and not sure I would pay $6 for the order. The spicy Miso had a good amount of spice that made my nose run, my only complaint is that the chashu piece was so small and thin you could almost see through it so I would have wanted more meat. The tonkatsu had two slices of chashu and an egg, my son loved the broth and noodles but could have used more meat for the price also. We ended up paying about $38 for two bowls or ramen and the two sides. Overall the food was very good, just would expect more meat in the ramen. read more

As I moved to Hillsboro last year, this was the first place we decided go try, and I'm surprised I forgot to leave a review! So here it is! This ramen place is within a mini community just off the busy street of Cornell. It is tucked away in the middle of that area and the parking can be difficult. It's a tight squeeze. Overall I've been back, and here is what we've tried: Apps: 1. Edamame: plain, basic, and delish! Can't really go wrong 2. Chicken Karrage: CRISPY! I asked for a side of lemon with it 3. Takoyaki: HOT HOT HOT! Be careful, but these bad boys were delish and I ordered it twice :) 4. Calamari: again a plain and basic app, but delish. It is a bit smalll for that price point though! 5. Gyoza: crispy! and good. the sauce was a bit plain so I ended up using soy sauce. Entrees: 1. Donburi Bowl: this is a hearty meal and they offer two different portion sizes. I call one a snack size and the other a meal-ish (could be slightly bigger for the chashu pork and chicken) but the curry one is filling! -chashu pork: absolutely melt in your mouth HEAVEN! Yes please- get this if you want a rice bowl -chicken karrage: this was good, plain- and I prefer this as an app rather than an entree -curry: this one is FILLING! I suggest the small size so you can try other options if you want it as a taster Ramens: so we've literally tried every single ramen and I won't write about each one: so here are the favs and why: 1. Deluxe Ninja: good for those who can't make up their mind. A great go-to item for your first time. 2. Spicy Miso: the miso flavor is great, a bit on the saltier side, but ask for extra spice to put in because it's not truly "spicy" for me. 3. Tamago: their eggs are consistently perfect! I get the garlic addition and Im never disappointed. Overall Ninja is a solid choice and it's closer than some of the other great Ramen Choices in Oregon! read more

We were out this way for an event and decided to stop in for some food first and I'm so glad we did. We tried their ramen don combos. Karrage don - I tried it with their house made spicy sauce, and it definitely has a punch to it but nothing too crazy. Deluxe ninja - tonkatsu broth with deliciously tender chashu pork. The noodles were abundant and very flavorful. Tamago garlic - the first ramen I've tried with actual solid garlic flavor. It wasn't aggressive but just enough to let you know the garlic was there. The egg was nearly perfect - 30 seconds less and it would've been perfection. They were apparently short handed today but the man at the front - I didn't catch his name - buster butt to get everyone everything right away and was apologetic if he even remotely delayed. He was amazing and represents amazingly. Their prices are very reasonable and the service is quick and kind. Highly recommend if you are in the area read more

I'm excited for a ramen place to be all the way out here in Hillsboro! I went into Ninja Ramen for a weekday lunch. We sat in a booth and an employee came over to take our orders. Like a proper ramen joint, the menu is short and simple - the focus is on quality bowls of ramen, with a few rice bowl options (curry, karaage don, etc. and appetizers (karaage, croquette, etc). The ramen broths are all pork based, with the exception of the vegetarian ramen. I got the miso ramen with a small curry don while my dining partners got the garlic chili oil ramen and the vegetarian ramen. The food came out quickly and we all enjoyed our dishes. The broth was good and the noodles, thick and al dente, were perfect. My only two complaints are that the wooden spoon really wasn't very effective compared to your regular ramen soup spoon - it was driving me nuts; and the miso broth was a bit on the salty side. The curry tasted like the standard box type, with slices of pork added - while I do enjoy a standard curry, the meat was a bit tough - I think I'd skip the curry next time and stick to just the ramen. Overall, a solid ramen joint. I'll be back to try their other offerings. read more

This is a nice small family owned business. The owners are very sweet and treat their customers well. When I was here, I saw a lot of returning customers which means that they like this place a lot - made me very excited to try their food. The place is small on the inside but they have booths on the side for larger parties. They also have this side bar seating for those who want to enjoy the food here by themselves. I got a variety of their popular dishes to try. The deluxe ninja ramen tasted a lot like your tonkotsu based ramens but it has a nice rich base. The tantan ramen was something I had not experienced before. The broth was spicy and creamy but the toppings went well with it. The ramen noodles is the same for all their ramen dishes. Tip: Eat your ramen first since they can get soggy if you wait. The curry rice tasted good but has that boxed curry taste to it. The karaage and takoyaki were decent too. I would recommend getting their ramen if you go here. Summary: would definitely come back to try the rest of the ramen menu. read more

A long overdue rave for the Deluxe Ramen (ask for extra mayu, which is black garlic oil) at Ninja Ramen.

Ninja Ramen - Deluxe Ninja Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

First time visiting this place and enjoyed the cozy feel (once you get past the mural with a boy's dongle hanging out, albeit strategically covered). The place is small and seats about 30 people. Not great for a large party, unless you split up. The staff was quite friendly, so service was good throughout the meal. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen, while my brother ordered the deluxe ninja ramen with the garlic oil on the side. The tonkatsu broth was nicely flavorful and wonderfully not over-salted, like most places. Extra brownie points for not using MSG, so the flavor was cleaner without the salty preservative umami that's common at other ramen joints. Definitely enjoyed the chashu, which had a good meat-to-fat ratio. The noodles were pretty standard and had a good amount of chewy tooth feel. Overall, I'd go back to try other broth flavors and see how their gyozas stack up. read more

Ninja Ramen - Tonkatsu ramen - Ramen Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

Another solid ramen establishment with this being one of the first way out in Hillsboro. The owners advertise no MSG and as someone very sensitive to MSG, I can attest I slurped up their tasty broth and didn't feel my nervous system get attacked like places that do use a lot of MSG. Great tasting deluxe and tamago garlic with me personally liking the tamago garlic more as it gave the best bang for the buck. A family member got the miso and we liked the deep rich miso flavors. Looking forward to try the tonkotsu. We came in the evening and if I had a wish, perhaps brighter lighting as it felt dark, but food wise it hits the mark and it shows with a constant stream of customers even on a Sunday night. read more

I was really hoping to like the ramen here. After recently moving, I have been desperately trying to find the best ramen in the area and have not had great luck. Decided to try Ninja Ramen after seeing it come up on DoorDash multiple times. Unfortunately, it was some of the worst ramen I've ever had. Ramen is something I eat religiously (at least once a week). I got the Deluxe Ninja Ramen. The broth had almost no flavor and had the consistency of water. The worst part, there was tons of burnt sediment in the broth cup (as seen in the images below). It caused the broth to have an acrid taste, similar to old coffee in the pot. Not good. It's very rare I can't finish a meal and sadly this was one of those times. I am hoping this may have been an accident or a bad night as we did order around 7:00pm, but not likely to try again to find out. **Following up on the owner's reply. I completely agree everyone has different taste. I have never had Mayu with quite that ashy consistency and quite that acrid of a taste. I've really liked Mayu in very rich broth, but sadly the broth is not rich and does not have that same mouth feel you would expect from great ramen. When the bitter Mayu is applied to this thinner broth it overpowers the flavors completely and does not pair nicely like it does in other richer ramens. But it could be some one else's taste. read more

First time here. Was surprised to walk in and be directly in the seating area, no real entry way as it doesn't have a lot of extra space. There was J-pop playing with corresponding videos on a tv over the service counter. I ordered the ninja deluxe which came with an egg and other add ons. (You order at the counter at lunch, there is table service at dinner.) While it wasn't the very best Ramen Ive ever had, it was really good. A rich pork bone broth, noodles, corn, sprouts, seaweed, and pork. Definitely worth going to if you are in the mood for Ramen. There are so many good Pho places around, it's actually nice to have a Ramen alternative! read more

I saw this Ramen shop while in town and decided to give it a try because of the rave reviews. I had the Deluxe ramen. I like the amount of noodles and the Char Siu was so tender. Very nice.

The Portland metro area certainly has plenty of ramen. Some of it is good, most of it is just okay. The ramen here, however, will transport you to the ramen restaurants of japan. The broth here is the absolute start of the show. You can taste the porky goodness in every single sip. Its immediately clear that they roast the bones and cook the broth for what must be at least 15-20 hours. Its sooooooo good. Deep, delicious flavors. The rest of the ingredients in the ramen are also outstanding. The roast pork is excellent as is the soft boiled egg. Great noodles as well. And don't sleep on the fried chicken! It's addictive. This is by far the best ramen I've had in the PDX area and better than much of the ramen I've eaten in Japan. Do yourself a favor and get yourself some! read more

I had the namesake 'Ninja Ramen', which is supposed to be Tonkatsu style ramen. Egg was nearly hard boiled. Noodles were for Chinese chow mein, not ramen. Little to no gelatin in the broth. If you think about it as an experimental, wet version chow mien, it actually isn't too bad. It just isn't ramen. Also the karaage were just breaded orange chicken bites without the sauce. read more

Ninja Ramen - Deluxe Ninja Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

As a Japanese-American, I've been in constant search of affordable yet balanced flavored ramen in Portland/Beaverton/Hillsboro area. I stumbled upon Ninja Ramen, not too far away from my home. The decorations does remind me of those smaller local ramen shops in Japan. I've ordered a Tonkotsu Ramen. I was actually quite surprised the broth was on the lighter side of the spectrum! The noodles were cooked perfectly and the size of those noodles complemented with the broth. It was definitely delicious and would recommend it for the price. I've also ordered gyoza. It was pretty decent, just a standard gyoza that I can find at other restaurants. Perhaps if you can make it crispy on the bottom like how it's done in Japan, as well as improve on the sauce, I think it would improve to おいしい！ If you want to support local Japanese ramen, I would definitely recommend it! I know I would come back because it was a positive experience! read more
