While attending a conference, I came across Akizawa near by. I was in the mood for some good…read moreJapanese food and this place was perfect. When I entered they asked if I have a reservation, which I didn't, but was able to fit me in before a large part reservation was due to arrive in about 50 minutes. That was the perfect amount of time for me, and almost guaranteed getting served in timely manner. I ordered a couple of appetizers, gyoza and nasu, which were fairly generous for the price, along with some nigiri - chutoro, hamachi and tamago. Everything tasted delicious. It's a small but lovely place with lots of dark wood which makes the place feel special. Service was good, especially for a place that seems to have bare minimum staffing, and everyone looked like they loved what they were eating. Make sure to make a reservation so you guarantee to get in. I'll keep this on my list of places to go when I'm in town.

When wandering the streets in downtown Portland, my friend and I were looking for a quick bite. We…read morefortunately found the Portland Food Hall, and were immediately drawn to Kizuki. 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.

I pay a lot less for my regular spot does Avocado rolls - but they're also HALF the size of these and not covered in rice (which makes them more filling.) The food is clearly high quality.

And my Italian white wine was delicious too!! An odd side note-your dishes are HUGE but your tables are small. Try more on a plate? Just an idea..we had SO many plates on our table lol

We were just in Japan earlier this year and love ramen. We had 3 different ramen dishes here. All were good, but something was missing from the broth. I live in the SF Bay Area and Kyuramen does not reach the standard of the best SF ramen. Service was very pleasant, but we were not offered water refills. Kyuramen would be fun for groups. It's an international chain, founded in Taiwan, with a more extensive menu than a true Japanese restaurant. I do not usually patronize chain restaurants, but Kyuramen was better than most chains I've been to.

Especially engaging with the littles and immediately replaced a fork for us after they dropped it on the floor without me even asking. They also had dedicated kids cups and sippy cups which was so helpful. The price was so reasonable and the noodles were perfectly bouncy and chewy. The chashu pieces in both ramens were huge! Tender and fall apart. Both of our miso based soup were rich, umami, and so flavorful. They had miso, shoyu, and shio options for the base to choose from. My kids enjoyed the potstickers very much. I also got them the chashu bowl ($5) but it had a strong burnt flavor. Overall this is definitely the spot to satisfy your ramen craving! No frills, just pure deliciousness.

The restaurant is very accessible with plenty of parking around the building and a wheelchair-friendly entrance. ​Upon entering, I was immediately greeted by the friendly staff. The interior is lovely--very clean and has a great vibe that makes you feel comfortable right away. ​The Meal ​I ordered the Oyster Soft Tofu Stew, which came with a side of rice, a fresh egg, and a variety of banchan (side dishes). ​The Stew: It had a nice spicy kick, but cracking the raw egg into the boiling pot mellowed the heat perfectly. It was delicious and paired wonderfully with the rice. ​The Banchan: While the variety was nice, I found most of the side dishes to be a bit too salty for my personal taste, so I didn't finish them all. ​To-Go: I also ordered a Seafood Scallion Pancake to take home, and the staff was happy to package it up for me. ​Overall, it was a very pleasant solo dining experience with great service. I'd definitely return for the stew!
