Good ramen option around the area. The bowl is pretty straight forward and I opted for the fried chicken and tamago (egg) kiru (black garlic oil) miso ramen. It was tasty, not too heavy and the charsu pork was very tender. The service is good and it's a very casual café environment

Amazing edamame

Workers were so nice and food was amazing. Our phone died and they let us use their charger to charge it. All the workers here treated us like we were queens yasssss slay ramen Ryoma love yall

Basic ramen with miso broth & spicy meat

The wait was long but this was some of the best ramen I've ever had! The pricing was fair, and the portions were filling. Will definitely come back if I'm in the area again!

Gluten-free review: We stopped into the Portland location and immediately we're happily greeted. I got the the vegetarian ramen with gluten-free noodles. So savory give a five out of five. My friend got the miso Ramen gluten-free. It's a little spicy, they loved it. Then I had some delicious tea and some cold apple sake to top it off such a great meal! Such a wonderful service.

Chicken karaage

Good comfort ramen. This cozy, ramen spot is a combination of great ramen with good value. Started with the karaage and it was a winner. The crust was crispy, and the flavor was great with garlic, ginger, soy notes. The ramen noodles were bouncy and the perfect chew. The soup, cha shu, egg and other condiments were tasty.

Miso ramen with added tofu and egg, spicy miso with added egg and pork, spicy miso, chicken karage, and edamame.

We're from out of town and have been struggling to find ramen that we like since our favorite restaurant burned down during Covid. This place was so delicious. We ordered miso ramen, spicy miso ramen, chicken karage, and edamame. Total came out to $67 before tax. The service was quick and attentive, ambiance was perfect for a Saturday night. We'll be back next time we're in town!

Visited Oregon for the first time and saw this spot recommended on Tiktok in Portland. Very happy I came to check it out! Upon arrival we saw a tablet to put yourself on the waitlist and it wasn't that long of a wait on the weekend. The staff were very nice and welcoming but you could tell they're quick to turn your table over. We ordered the Chicken Karaage as an appetizer and it was so good, especially with the sauce. My gf ordered the Corn Butter Ramen with tofu and egg added. She also got wanted the Spicy Umami Meat on the side because she wanted to try it but was scared to have it in the ramen. I ordered the Miso Ramen with egg and corn. Our waitress unfortunately somehow missed placing my order on her tablet and only brought out my gf's food. After some time I noticed it wasn't coming and flagged someone down. They were confused and someone else came to help. Then the manager came and apologized which I appreciated. He offered Mango Mochi Ice Cream on the house. At least it was acknowledged! The ramen was delicious! We wanted to eat all of it but couldn't. It was a great portion for us. Luckily my gf got the spicy umami meat on the side because it was veryyy spicy for her. Made her tear up! It was a good experience despite having to wait extra for my ramen. I wish I lived in Oregon to return!

Curry Bowl

We decided on Ramen Ryoma for a last-minute birthday dinner, and even though there was a bit of a wait for the three of us, it was well worth it. The place was packed for after 8 p.m. on a Friday, which is always a good sign. My son and daughter-in-law both ordered ramen. She chose the miso broth--their most popular option--and I can absolutely see why. It was incredibly flavorful and comforting, especially on a cold, rainy evening. My son had the shoyu broth, which was also delicious, but the miso definitely stole the show for me. I went with the curry bowl and ate every last bite. It had a little kick to it but was so rich and satisfying. Service was great as well--our server was very attentive despite how busy it was. Overall, Ramen Ryoma is a cute, cozy spot with great food and a lively atmosphere. A perfect choice for a casual celebration or a comforting meal on a chilly night.

Great food and friendly staff. It was busy at 9pm On a week night, a good sign. The fried chicken is delicious, highly recommend. The tables are close together, and it's a very basic ambience for great food. Great portions at a great price! The staff are very friendly and the food comes out super quick!

Miso Spicy Ramen

This place is the best bang-for-your-buck ramen spot in Portland. A group of friends and I went around 10 PM on a Saturday- Ramen Ryoma is open late and was packed, although we only had to wait a few minutes for a table. The overall feel of the restaurant is very cozy, and the small-ish size meant our server was quick to take our order and bring the food. I had the spicy ramen with miso broth and loved it! The noodles were al dente and slurp-able late at night after a few beers. The meat and added egg were also chewy and delicious. The broth could have been a little spicier, but that just means I'll order the two star spiced broth next time. Total price for 4 people with appetizers was $75- truly such a great late-night spot!

Note I already ate half the egg
Tully B.

Excellent service at RR in downtown. The mayu ramen is delicious with the shoyu broth. The chicken karaage was so hot, crispy and delicious. The food came out in minutes! The servers on 5/28 in the evening were phenomenal!

Really enjoyed the Beaverton location a few years back so I had to give it a try again here in town. Cozy dive in restaurant with bar seating avaliable, was sat pretty quickly and service was nice and attentive. The rice bowl was good, pork chashu cooked just right but wished they added more of that delicious sauce. Ramen was amazing as I remembered and satisfied my ramen craving, plenty of flavor and spice with the miso broth.

Takoyaki

Ramen Ryoma is a decent, casual option if you are in the area and craving comfort food, but overall the experience felt pretty middle-of-the-road. While a few things stood out, the meal as a whole didn't quite hit the high marks I was hoping for. Here is how it broke down: The Starters (The Highlight): Karaage (Fried Chicken): This was easily the best part of the meal. The pieces were large, juicy, and had a great, ultra-crispy crunch on the outside. Takoyaki: Decent texture and well-presented on a long plate with plenty of bonito flakes, making it a solid appetizer to share. The Mains (A Bit Average): Spicy Ramen: The noodles had a good chew, but the broth lacked the deep, rich complexity you expect from a really stellar ramen. Even with the spicy paste mixed in, the flavor profile felt a bit flat. Chashu Don (Rice Bowl): While it was a generous portion packed with chopped chashu and minced meat, it ended up tasting a bit monotone after a few bites and could have used more balance or a punchier sauce. Overall, it's a fine spot if you want a quick, filling meal, but the flavors didn't quite wow me enough to make it a standout. Solid, but nothing mind-blowing.

Food was solid, but I feel like the ramen was missing a bit of pizzazz. Lovely service and a nice casual ambiance. The last ramen took a while to come, but with a larger party I imagine it was a simple mixup around orders. Okonomiyaki Fries - these weren't bad, the okonomiyaki part was just the toppings. I did expect actual okonomiyaki pieces (flour, cabbage, etc) mixed in. Would have preferred crispier fries (they were a bit soft) and also some extra salt. Might skip in the future or try another appetizer instead. Zen - the basic ramen for building! We added bok choy and an egg for a lighter meal. Nice that they give a whole egg (for $3) because the preset ramens come with half. Noodles were great, and pretty filling given the default price point. Add ons are great to enhance the taste, but won't impact fullness too much. Yuzu Shoyu - personally thought the preset ramens were nothing special. Barely any greens, felt like just a garnish. One piece of chashu and half an egg. Noodles were tasty though! Broth was on the lighter side.

Each bowl we explored showed depth, balance, and technique, from the richness of the broth to the precision in every topping.

From the second my partner and I walked in at 4:30 PM, we were greeted by a server who made it immediately clear we were bothering them. When seated, I asked for a dinner menu thinking they'd given us a lunch menu by mistake. I was told dinner doesn't start until 5:00 PM (something listed nowhere online, despite their online presence highlighting all their dinner options). And since when does lunch run up until 5pm? The latest I've ever seen is 3 or 4. The final straw was asking about the only vegan option on the menu, which was labeled "spicy." When I asked how spicy it was, the same server gave a completely patronizing response: "I'm not sure your level of spice..." My partner and I looked at each other in shock at how openly rude this person was. We got up, picked up our stuff, and walked out before ordering. I'm 51 years old, and I can count on one hand the number of times in my life I've walked out of a restaurant due to bad service before even getting food. Sadly, this was one of them. The gap between how great this place was portrayed online and how poorly we were treated in person was staggering.

Taking one glance at the menu, I gotta say this is totally my jam. Ramen, of course. But also tons of the little izakaya-style small plates and appetizers. My buddy went with the Shiro Ramen, and loved it quite a bit. Whereas I took a bunch of these smaller bites so as to try a bunch of things. The Karrage fried chicken is just superb! If you order only one of the small plates, it should be this. I also tried the Prawn Cutlet, a sort of deep fried patty made of prawn and drizzled with sauce. This was pretty ok. And went with the Onigiri, too. Though these, though stuffed with tuna, were a little on the bland side, though admittedly I maybe needed to get some dipping sauce. NOTE TO SELF: Try the actual ramen next time. For the prices we paid, I think the portion sizes were pretty decent. And the service was pretty prompt, though had a couple slow downs. Though i think this was because, at least on the night we visited, the staff here were pulling double duty with staffing the food hall bar, too. Anyway, this spot was still pretty cool, and rescued us from the Hangry feeling after a day of exploring the city. If you need a good bowl of noodles or have a hankering to try the small plates, then this is a good choice.

First, I love that there's a small parking lot for the restaurant, since parking can be tricky in this part of NW PDX. That said, my friend found a parking spot on the same block, so you never know! The service was good: friendly and kind, not over the top attentive but they didn't totally ignore us either. But oh the food... so good!! I loved every bite! The omakase is a 7-course meal at $95 per person, and the whole table must participate. Honestly, I thought the price was super reasonable for the amount and quality of food we ate. This is a great deal, folks!! The first course alone is actually more like 7 small bites. The tempura was one of my favorites, but I also loved the little bites with the first course. My friend thought we actually got too much steak with the meat course, but I think most people will find it substantial and just right. The portions were pretty impressive for an omakase. The wine list is nice, and I liked the mocktails they had. The omakase menu changes seasonally, but no matter what season you go, I highly suggest doing the omakase experience.
