    King ramen...unfortunately looks way better than it tastes
    Alvin H.

    Ugh really wanted to like this place. Came here on a busy Saturday night and got seated promptly - service is efficient. Inside the restaurant is not huge, but the menu is. The giant pieces of fried meat on top of a bowl of noodles sounds good right? I ordered the King Ramen in this anticipation. Unfortunately the soup was bland, the ingredients didn't really work with each other. Meaning kimchi was on for the sake of being on, didn't really add to the flavor. Overall...meh.

    Party of 3 for dinner on a road trip. Stopped in right after 6. We were welcomed warmly. Order at the counter was easy and the young lady was nice. Food was yummy. The Tonkatsu is authentic Japanese and I am so glad someone finally gets it right with this cut in ramen. Facilities are clean. Would go back if in the area.

    Eugene 5 stars! Service is great and food is amazing! You order at the front counter and choose your own seat after. They bring the food out to you and utensils are already on the table. Easy set up and lots of options on the menu from ramen, rice plates, drinks, and appetizers. We got the jajameyoung (black bean noodles), spicy katsu ramen, chicken karaage appetizer, red bean smoothie, and Thai tea. Jajameyoung sauce was very comforting. Savory, umami, and had a good amount of pork. Ramen is also homemade which makes it all the better. The katsu was the star though! Crispy and juicy, 100% would recommend getting something katsu if you are here! The red bean smoothie tasted like a red bean milkshake, which I loved, but it was very icy. Thai tea was okay.

    Kimchi Ramen

    A decent place to get Korean and Japanese style food. It was a cold night and we stopped by to get some Japanese Ramen. There were a bunch of choices, but we ordered the kimchi Ramen and the King Ramen. All were pretty good, but I had better since I live in an area that has tons of Ramen places. If you are looking for good Ramen for the Eugene area, I do recommend this place. Service is excellence and the chefs care on presentation. Ramen came out really hot, which is very important.

    Looks like a quaint family run ramen shop in downtown Eugene. Pretty large menu board with good variety of ramen choices (plus other Japanese items but no black garlic ramen). Tall ceilings, modern decor, sort of an open kitchen & friendly attentive service. Value-wise, a pretty good deal for ramen when compared to other noodle places. Ramen bowls ranged from $11 to $15 for a large amount of food. We ordered the King ramen (a bowl that included chicken karaage & cha shu pork) in a miso broth. Flavors were OK but the chicken & pork were meh and a bit too much bean sprouts. We also had the pork katsu ramen in shio broth. The pork cutlet was crispy and large, though again, a little too many bean sprouts. For the money, definitely worth a revisit when in downtown Eugene.

    Looking for ramen in Eugene, OR? I'll shoyu the way... ...to Tokyo Tonkatsu! I was recommended this spot by a friend and finally checked it out last weekend. It's a small mom and pop ramen shop, and they had a handful of ramen and other dishes to choose from. I was pleasantly surprised to find a few Korean dishes on the menu -- tteokbokki, bulgogi, and jajangmeon. I tried their "King Ramen" with shoyu broth. I was impressed by the massive bowl of delicious broth, fresh noodles, and variety of toppings. I highly recommend if you want a little bit of everything because the King was just that! The prices were on par for a bowl of ramen ($14-16), and honestly you get your bang for your buck -- these bowls are loaded.The restaurant is relatively small in and of itself so keep that mind if you have a larger group. You order at the register first, then it's first-come first-serve seating. The service was attentive and kind, despite arriving sorta close to closing time. FYI the restaurant is located in downtown Eugene so it's mostly street parking. I'll defs be returning and I hope to see ya there!

    Spicy Chicken Katsu Ramen

    Amazing food. Very relaxing. Only note is that I wish I had a bigger spoon to get more food in it!

    This spot is a good place if you're in need of some traditional ramen. I've been here a few times and the food has always been consistent. You get the option to choose your broth and spicy levels making the ramen pretty customizable. There is other stuff on the menu but I would stick to the ramen, we tried the rice cakes one time and they were fine but not as good as the soup and noodle dishes. The staff is always really nice and the owners always come out to check in on your dinning experience. The restaurant offers a decent amount of seating and is pretty clean.

    Overall rating: 3.75 stars Food: 3.5 stars Service & Ambiance: 4.0 Cleanliness: 4.0 I was feeling in a Japanese comfort food mood for dinner and this was walking distance from where I was staying, plus the reviews were very positive, so I decided to check it out. Casual dining, no table service, other than your food brought to your table. Huge signage on the wall near the cashier or you can look at the menus on the counter. Place your order, pay, get a number and take a seat. I ordered the katsu-don (tonkatsu donburi)...I was really looking forward to a hot bowl of rice, breaded cutlet with scrambled eggs & onions cooked easy over the top, comfort food. My rice bowl was served quickly, but I was shocked to see how it was served---basically high and dry over 'slightly wet' rice, barely any egg and onion. Seems like some broth was a the bottom of the rice bowl. Usually the scrambled onions & eggs are served over the bowl of rice and then the cutlet placed on top. You should be able to taste the sweetness of the mirin & soy sauce, but not in this case. I guess it was my mistake to order a rice bowl, as most everyone is raving about their ramen on Yelp! and most of the patrons I saw, ordered ramen. I'll definitely give them another try, but I'll stick with ordering ramen.

    It's such an interesting setup! Order at the counter, grab a seat, and they bring you amazing ramen. Is it sit-down or fast food? The open kitchen is LOUD during meat-chopping time, but plenty of seating! My King Ramen and hubby's Spicy Katsu Ramen were both delicious --full of flavor and meat! Wish they had garlic ramen though. Perfectly soft-boiled eggs (just slightly overcooked). #Ramen #Restaurant #Food #Dinner #KingRamen #SpicyKatsuRamen #Foodie #OpenKitchen #Egg

    Taro Bubble Tea
    Corinne B.

    The parking is a royal pain, but the taro bubble tea is very good, and I loved the tonkotsu ramen - the mix of pork, ginger, bamboo shoots, egg, ramen noodles, and lemongrass makes for a good tasting ramen. Service is very good, but not a lot of ambiance, and it's a bit small, so it can get crowded quickly. But it's a great place that has a mix of ramen, bubble tea, bulgogi (I saw someone order bulgogi), gyoza (again, I saw someone order it), katsu, karaage....it's a great mix.

    So, prices are tempting here. But I'd stay away from their char siu pork, as it tasted more like deli meat, and you got one thin slice in the entire soup... HOWEVER, the pork katsu in the miso ramen broth was on point. The potstickers were okay, I wish it came with more than 4 in one order. It was a bit slow even though there were a lot of folks in the kitchen, but thankfully we weren't in a huge rush. Overall, it's alright ramen, and we'll probably be back when we need to scratch that itch.

    I had an amazing time here at Tiger Mama! I've heard from many local people saying that this place…read moreis the best and I have to agree. It reminds me of a mid-scale, small family owned, hot spot in the Silverlake/Los Angeles area where everybody goes for good food and a fun evening out. We were seated next to the doll from Squid Game. It was perfect spot because it felt like we were in the middle of the room to see everything. We joked that the Squid Game girl should speak every so often. lol Had a few of the Tiger Bomb (beer and shot of soju) drinks to start and for appetizer, we started out with a half order of the honey soy KFC. Those wings were crispy and delicious! For dinner, I opted for the bulgogi bi bim bap. It came sizzling in the cast iron bowl. I was surprised at how much meat they put in this dish. I was expecting just a few small pieces but they load it up for you. It was really good and I like how the sizzling pot was hot enough to actually crisp up the rice on the bottom. My friend had the beef bulgogi japchae. It was a big portion and since I was only allowed to try a little bit, it was all i needed to know that it was delicious. Decor was cute and service was good. Our waiter came and checked on us a few times. I'm excited to come here again next month!

    I just ate at Tiger Mama in the Whit for the first time, and it was amazing…read more Tiger Mama has that Korean pocha feel, where the food, drinks, and atmosphere all belong together. I stopped in for a drink while my to go order was being made and had a Tiger Bomb, a beer with a shot of soju mixed in. The drink was great, and the service was incredibly hospitable. Even though I was just waiting on a to go order, they offered me complimentary banchan, little bites of cabbage, carrots, and cucumber, to snack on while I drank and waited. That was much more hospitality than I expected from simply picking up food. The prices are very reasonable for what you get. The portions are generous, everything tasted fresh, and the food felt genuinely high quality. The Korean fried chicken is really, really good. I got the Volcano sauce, and it is legitimately hot. Not restaurant spicy. Actually spicy. I eat the spiciest of the spicy food, and this was a good 8 out of 10 for me, which is probably a 15 out of 10 for most people. It has serious heat, but plenty of flavor underneath it. The dry rub chicken balanced it perfectly, with a tangy, acidic, savory flavor that cut through the richness and paired really well with the Volcano sauce. Crispy chicken, acid, spice, and a cold beer is a pretty hard combination to beat. I also got the kimbap with spicy pork, and that was amazing too. The rice and fillings tasted really fresh, the pork had a great savory sweetness and heat, and the vegetables added freshness and texture. Every bite had a little bit of everything. Between the food, Tiger Bomb, complimentary banchan, and service, I was already thinking I had found a new place I really liked. Then I got home. The only real downside was unfortunately the tteokbokki, which is ironic because that was the entire reason I found Tiger Mama. It was literally the term I typed into Yelp that led me there. And this is where the review gets complicated. Flavor wise, it was amazing. The sauce was sweet, tangy, savory, and a little spicy, with that deep gochujang flavor you want from tteokbokki. The fish cakes were tender, plentiful, and full of flavor. There were glass noodles, mandu, and half a hard boiled egg, giving it a lot of different textures. It felt like a more elaborate, modern take on the classic Korean dish. The rice cakes themselves were fantastic. Great size, wonderfully tender and chewy, and soaked in that delicious sauce. Honestly, the tteok I did receive might be the best I have had while dining out. My problem was that I received three of them. Three individual rice cakes. In an $18 order of tteokbokki. That was genuinely disappointing. Tteokbokki was why I came here. It was what I searched for and what drew me in. The menu picture showed plentiful, delicious little rice pillows sitting in sauce, which was exactly what I had been craving. Instead, I got a large serving of glass noodles, fish cakes, mandu, sauce, egg, and three rice cakes in a dish named after the rice cakes. If this had been the only thing I ordered, I could easily see myself leaving a sour one star review and never going back. But that would not represent the experience I had. Everything else was too good. As someone who loves Korean cuisine, both cooking it at home and eating it out, I can tell there is a lot of care put into this food. Even the tteokbokki was excellent in every respect except the rice cake quantity. The sauce was perfect, the fish cakes were great, the mandu was a nice surprise, and the sweet, spicy, tangy, savory flavors worked ridiculously well together. It also pairs really well with a beer. Or six. Unfortunately, I live too far away to have noticed until I got home, and they were already closed. I'll call tomorrow, and based on the service I received, I'm confident they'll make it right. Three rice cakes for $18 was genuinely disappointing, but I'm not going to let what seems like one portioning mistake outweigh an otherwise excellent experience. The food, atmosphere, hospitality, and care put into everything were too good. Tiger Mama is a great addition to the Whit, and I'll absolutely be back. Especially for more tteokbokki. Hopefully next time, more than three.

I missed the entrance so I parked at the big parking lot adjacent and walked over. I was greeted right away and was seated in a booth. There were a few people enjoying their meals. I ordered the steamed egg as an appetizer and the bi bim bap. The entree comes with an assortment of banchan and I was pleased with the selections. It was fresh and flavorful. I wasn't too happy with the steamed egg. It was dry and felt more like a baked egg. You can smell the baking soda/powder metallic, bitter smell in it. The bi bim bap was good. It came sizzling hot. I think the rice was just a tad wet because it didn't make a nice, even crust on the bottom. Instead, it burned some parts of the rice. As for flavor, most of it had to come from the bottle of 'bi bim bap' sauce that was watered down. After I doctored it a bit, the dish came out perfect. I feel this place has a lot of potential. Prices were a bit on the high end, but this is Eugene and there isn't much or any competition for Korean restaurants here. Overall, good place, good service, clean restaurant and please don't be shy about using full flavor!

    There are no reservations at this restaurant, so it's first come first serve. Street parking was…read moreeasy to find, and we arrived around 7. The place was packed, but thankfully we were seated quite quickly with a 5-10 minute wait. The interior is cozy and welcoming. It's dimly lit with mood lighting on the tables. It felt lively since the tables were packed. We started by ordering the sake and shoyu flights and some fries with wasabi mayo while we explored the rest of their menu. We received the flights quickly. Both flights had 3 flavors and were tasty and fun to try. Each flight comes with a menu describing the flavor profile and how the drinks were made. The flavors of each flight were distinct and matched their descriptions. The fries with wasabi mayo were pretty basic fries. They were well seasoned, had a nice crunch, and the mayo had a subtle wasabi flavor without it being spicy. For our next round we ordered the salmon misoyaki, butternut squash, tofu kushiyaki, and steak kushiyaki. Unfortunately, our server forgot to bring our butternut squash, but we ended up being full with the rest of the food we ordered and just took it off our order. The salmon misoyaki was delicious - perfectly cooked, tender, and well seasoned. The mustard greens on the side added a nice sourness. The tofu kushiyaki was tender and flavorful. The steak kushiyaki was well-seasoned, but more well done than I preferred and a little tough. Next, we ordered the spinach goma ae and umeboshi unigiri. The spinach goma ae was such a pleasant surprise! It's a chilled spinach dish with a tamari/black sesame sauce that was refreshing mid-meal. Really good umami flavor! The umeboshi onigiri had the expected sharp salty/sour flavor that balanced well with the ratio of rice. Ended up dipping the umeboshi onigiri in the goma ae sauce to get every last drop. For dessert we ordered the basque cheesecake and créme brûlée. The cheesecake was just okay. The menu said there was sake and black sesame flavors, but apart from some black sesame dust on the plate we couldn't taste the sake/sesame. The texture was thick and not super smooth. It was a pretty heavy dessert and not very sweet. The créme brûlée was yummy. The custard was smooth and the crunchy caramelized sugar on top was a nice contrast in texture and flavor. The service itself was slow. We were waiting around 15 minutes between orders. Given, it was a busy night. However, we felt a bit forgotten as our server did forget to bring one of our dishes, we had to ask for our dessert menus twice, and we were accidentally served two basque cheesecakes instead of our order of cheesecake and créme brûlée. The staff were friendly, and quickly brought out the correct desserts at the end. I'd recommend ordering more dishes at once so you can enjoy more food in between orders. Would definitely come back again to try the rest of their menu. We wanted to try the Japanese sweet potato but they had sold out that night. The oysters, sashimi, and udon also looked quite good!
