Boke Bowl - West

The wife and I's first try at a ramen place and this was fantastic! The gal that took our order was very friendly and answered every question we asked with a cheerful smile. I had the Duck Dashi ramen and my wife had the poke bowl. Both were tasty and great! We shared three steam buns and it was great that they allow mixing and matching of them. The pork belly and brisket we're my favorites but the chicken was delicious as well. We also shared the fried pears which were really good. We finished by sharing a vanilla miso twinkie which was perfect because we were stuffed! All of it was great and will not hesitate to return.

Good fusion mix of Asian cuisine. Lunch seems more than cheap eats when looking at menu prices not a five dollar rice bowl, but portions are sizable and tasty. Clean with attentive and friendly staff, drink selection is good with cocktails as well. Come back to sample different items on menu, definitely a repeat visit place.

Boke Bowl was a great experience overall. A couple of the staff could have a better attitude, but the cashier was very nice and helpful. My only foodie comment would be to step up the egg game! The slow poached eggs wasn't really worth it.

The fried chicken steam buns are a must have!!! Food was delicious and staff were great! Would come back again in a heart beat.

I finally made into Boke Bowl and really glad I did. Ordered the spicy chicken miso with chicken sausage bowl and added an egg for $1.50 more along with a Breakside IPA. Soup came out quickly and presented itself very well. Not only did it look delicious it WAS delicious. All the ingredients married well together and really hit the spot. After a few bites I added the cry baby hot sauce to kick it up a few notches in the heat/spice department. That worked.. I was sweating pretty good by the time I finished. Great location and ambiance. All in with 15% tip was around $24; maybe a tad pricey for a lunch but was so damn good; felt worth it. I'll be back to try another dish!

This was my first time at Bike Bowl. I ordered the tofu bowl and also tried the mushroom hot bun. If I could order again, I would exclude the pickles and the tofu and just add more eggplant. The flavor is all there. I also ordered their ginger limeade and I loved that too. The bowl was plenty to share, and there are so many ingredients in each one. I wish their rice had more ginger in it. I didn't really find it super flavorful. Service was friendly and very accommodating.

If you're in Portland and looking for a Ramen spot, go no further than Boke Bowl. It's the number one place for Ramen in my books. Everytime I fly to Portland from Australia, its the first place I eat at each and every time. The staff are friendly, the chefs are great and the food speaks for itself. Do yourself a favour and visit.
