Excellent service and a quiet little spot on the corner. I happened up on it while walking around in the afternoon, and was sad to see it was closing around 230. I searched it up, and came back later, so glad I did. I got the deluxe Ryoma ramen with shoyu broth and a hot green tea. The broth alone was incredibly delicious. If I had more time in Portland this would be my spot! Highly, highly recommend. Best ramen I've had since being in Japan. Arigato gozaimasu! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

It is a small place the food is so good the noodles are top tier. Service is amazing the only thing is that I felt rushed and I get they want people in and out but please be more attentive to just going with the flow I don't like feeling rushed especially with ramen lol. Other than that the vibes and atmosphere and especially the food is delightful and delicious! I had the garlic edamame teriyaki chicken skewers and the basic miso ramen! read more

Went late on a cold Sunday night (it's open until 10!!!) well we weren't the only ones with that idea. The place was packed!! We soon discovered why after our first bites. Our ramen came out first (3 types of broth base to pick from) and then the soup style plus add ons. I got the spicy ramen (wish I got the spicy umami which is spicier, just didn't want to push it) and added an egg. Price for the value was there! I happily ate the rich broth and chewy noodles. We ordered a 5 piece Karage as well and the batter was super crispy, the chicken pieces were perfectly cooked and no bones or fatty pieces. For less than $9 this was also a great value. The staff is efficient and kind, loved the welcoming Irrashaimase greeting and the max train whizzing by, it felt like we were in Japan. read more

Overall it was pretty mid. The food wasn't bad but it wasn't exceptional. The portion size though I felt was large. You essentially order the broth base and then add on extra toppings priced individually. I thought it was low priced for 4 adults and one toddler at around $66 before tip. Of course that's dependent on all the extras for your ramen and whatever else. I liked the service and it was speedy. I think they knew how to read the room and check in an appropriately desired amount of times. The downside was the smell was really off. Like a stench in the back eating area that had a smell like rotted wood and manure. The stink smell aside this is a decent, lower cost place to eat in a good downtown area. read more

This place was so good I came here two weekends in a row! On a cold, rainy day this cozy and bustling restaurant truly draws you in. The restaurant was packed the first weekend I went so I sat in the bar but during the second weekend it was much easier to get a table. For appetizers I tried the chicken karaage and takoyaki. Both were amazing but the karaage was my favorite! Prob some of the best fried chicken I've ever had, it was so juicy inside. I recommend ordering the spicy mayo on the side. They had a lot of options to help you customize your ramen. I got the spicy ramen with egg and corn and it truly warmed my soul lol. The egg was perfectly boiled - don't forget to add that if your ramen doesn't come with it! I loved the texture of the noodles too, they were quite chewy and worked well with the broth. Prices were super reasonable. I can't wait to come back! read more

Phenomenal ramen! I've heard so much about this ramen shops from lots of friends, and I wasn't disappointed at all when I went. The inside of the shop is small, intimate, and a bit homey. Service was pretty quick and very patient as my group was trying to figure out what to order. My friends and I ordered a variety of the ramen, and I love how you can customize and add-on so many different things. The portions are good, broth is very rich (without being overly salty), and noodles were delicious. Definitely one of the top ramen spots in Portland! read more

My fiancé and I decided to give Ramen Ryoma a try and were pleasantly surprised! We've had ramen all over--from LA (where we're from) to NYC and even Japan--so we have pretty high expectations. Ramen Ryoma impressed us not only with its quality but also with its reasonable prices. We ordered the Tamago Mayu Ramen, which features a soft-boiled egg and black garlic oil. The egg was cooked to perfection, with a creamy yolk, and the garlic flavor was rich without being overwhelming. It struck a great balance that's not always easy to find. Overall, it was a great experience, and we'd definitely recommend it to ramen lovers looking for a delicious, well-priced bowl. We'll be back! Note: the bowl was a perfect size for me, however if you have a larger appetite, I believe you can order a larger size read more

Ramen Ryoma was a late-night lifesaver and one of the best meals we had in Portland. We went pretty late in the evening and were so glad they were still open. The ramen was absolutely delicious -- rich, flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and generous toppings. Everything tasted deeply comforting, which was exactly what we wanted at that hour. Service was fast and friendly, and the whole place had a relaxed, no-frills vibe that felt authentic and welcoming. Honestly, this hit the spot in a big way. It was the kind of meal where you finish your bowl feeling warm, full, and very happy. If you're craving great ramen, especially late at night, Ramen Ryoma is a must. read more

BEST RAMEN IN PORTLAND. With a super rich miso broth, it is so consistently good and hits the spot. I always go for the spicy ramen with miso base and it's perfect every time. The broth and noodles are hot, meat is juicy and tender, and the bean sprouts are never overcooked. Before their portland location, i would drive to beaverton at least twice a month for ramen! I'm glad they opened another location, one that serves karaage!! Their karaage is a must get as well as their garlic edamame. Every server is very kind, and will stop by to check in at least once, nothing crazy or over the top service wise. The shop is very cozy and well decorated for the space they have. They don't have AC, so if you're coming in summertime be warned and bring a hair tie! read more

Ramen Ryoma - tomago mayu ramen in shoyu broth. - Ramen Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My go to Ramen in PDX. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the flavors are consistent every time I come back.

Quick Summary: - Delicious broth - Noodles are springy and bouncy - Curry bowl is larger than expected, but it was perfect for us - Entered hungry, ate full - We visited on a hot season, so there was only a fan to cool us down We visited Ramen Ryoma on one of the hotter days in Portland. The restaurant didn't have air conditioning, just a couple of ceiling fans. For me, it gave a nostalgic ramen restaurant mood, that I enjoyed. (one of my family members claimed it was a bit too hot inside to eat ramen). We were hungry from all the walking, so we first ordered a small curry bowl and then individual ramens from different categories. The curry bowl arrived first and then the ramen bowls arrived within a few minutes. We got a good giggle with the curry bowl because despite the description that it was coming in small bowl, I would say it was medium sized. I was initially thinking of a "chawan" (dinner rice bowl) sized bowl would arrive. In the end, this was a happy surprise that it contained more portions than we thought. The curry was very good! Curry just tastes a hunk better on a hot day, perfect amount of spice for me -- who has low spice tolerance. It rejuvenated the energy I lost from walking under the sun most of the time. The ramen was my type of ramen, so good! I got the butter and corn ramen. First, the broth was great! I wanted to drink the whole bowl, not salty or thick with oil. I also love the noodles they made here, I love thick noodles! It feel it gives a good chewy texture to the meal. read more

Ramen Ryoma is a great lil spot in the heart of the Centric District. Maria and I were immediately greeted upon entering. Our server brought over waters quickly. He was ready to take our orders. We ordered the juicy chicken Karaage. 5 pcs for 8.98. 6 pcs Vegetable Spring Tolls $5.25. Charsui with slow cooked Pork Belly. Flavored in a special Tare sauce. $11.50. Side of Tofu $1.35. Extra soup 32 ounces for $1.65. Green Ice Tea in the can $2.85. The food came out perfectly. It was mouth burning hot. Just how I like my food. For a Wednesday night, Ramen Ryoma was hoping busy. Lots of chatter happening as we ate and talked story. It was dim lit which made for an excellent dining experience., Our server kept coming by to check if everything was okay. Just down home good customer service. Who can beat this type of food with prices that don't break your wallet. We're definitely going back soon. read more

Ramen Ryoma - Ramen Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Having grown up eating ramen in Japan, I don't like the ramen served in the Portland much since it's usually bland and soft-noodled comparatively, but Ryoma is a safe haven from that. The classic shoyu broth is my favorite and always perfectly salty, their chashu is just right, and so is the texture of the noodles! Their appetizers are great and perfectly seasoned; karaage is always my go to. My friends prefer the takoyaki! Compared to their location in Beaverton, I would say the quality at this one is more consistent. The interior is cozy and the service is fine. My only complaint, if you could call it that, is that I wish they'd offer menma (bamboo shoots) as a topping. :-] read more

I was in the mood for some ramen in Portland after 4 days of eating almost non-stop for a friend's bachelor party. I needed something to warm me up but not overfeed me, so it was ramen. Ramen Ryowa is located close to where I was staying. The restaurant is quaint and very friendly. I was the second customer there and at the end of the meal, the restaurant was packed. I ordered the base miso ramen with a side of the gyoza. The ramen itself was excellent but the pork was way too thick which made it a little hard to chew through. It should be sliced thinner to make it more palatable. The service was perfect and friendly. I will want to come back here the next time I am in town. read more

What a cozy little ramen restaurant near Portland's Japanese corner. Came here for dinner because Pastini was too busy on a Monday evening and no regrets. The highlight was their chicken karaage. It was delicious and moist and the provided lemon and table side togarashi was enough to add flavor. Their miso ramen broth was also delicious. I'm taking off one star since the char shiu was overcooked and the amount of noodles felt like a lot since noodles were on the thicker side. For vegetarians, you only have one ramen option and it's interestingly more expensive than the basic meat options. My partner ordered the vegetable ramen and couldn't finish due to the broth and noodles being a little thick. I think the meat ramen options here really outshine the vegetarian one. Either way, the food was delicious and also more affordable than most ramen spots across the west coast. Would recommend if you're in the area. read more
