Great Korean noodle bowls. Good homemade kimchi. Steam buns are tasty too.

Flavorful, small portions. Even when busy, service and food delivery is quick. Very strong pork flavor throughout ramen.

Came here for their Dumpling Week and the lamb wontons we're so good! You order at the front and sit down and they bring your food and it was so fast - less than 5 mins for sure. We also got their ramen, fried chicken steamed buns and a side of pickled cucumbers. All were so amazing and delicious! Definitely a different flavor than the usual taste of ramen but still very rich in flavor and so so good. Update(12/23/2023): still amazing! They have so many vegan and gluten-free options as well! Highly recommend bringing everyone you know and sharing your meal so you can try everything. Addl. Note: The jackfruit steamed buns were so amazing. Parking: Have to keep an eye out for street parking nearby. There's paid parking lot next to it but there's homeless encampments in it so that's a no-no for us.

Delicious unique spin on ramen and poke. They use some less common ingredients and flavors but the flavors work deliciously together. They also have some very lovely cocktails.

Boke Bowl is one of my family’s most beloved restaurants in Portland. We bring out of town guests and friends & family that have relocated to Portland to this spot and everyone is blown away. While I think I could live off the tapioca desert, lest we forget to sing the praises of the Boke Twinkies. Their take on ramen is unique & executed very well. My all time favorite isn’t their Caramelized Fennel Broth. With the ability to include several delectable ‘add ons’ you can really customize your bowl. The most talked about dish among our family and all the guests we bring has to be the Warm Brussels Sprouts Salad. It is one of those gems that occupies a special place in my mind, rent free. The Boke seating area is no frills. They help keep things efficient with their walk up ordering and bringing out to you when it’s ready. The open kitchen is awesome. Thank you, Boke Bowl, for playing a part in the important work of me working on maintaining my ‘winter coat’ year-round

I feel like I could give this place two ratings. If you are looking for good Asian food absolutely stay away. Zero stars. If you want gentrified, bland, overpriced "Asian food" then this is your spot. I get it, there's totally a demographic for that in Portland. (I was the only Asian person, including staff.) Counter service, but they will bus your table for you and the cashier was nice.
