Boke Bowl West - Portland

This was so good! I'll definitely be recommending this restaurant! Not sure what the negative reviewers had, but my meal was fantastic!

I only visited once so I don’t think I’m ready to really review the new Boke Bowl dim sum service, which is only a month or so old at this point. However, I thought I’d share a few photos of what some of the possible offerings you would see. Dim Sum is only available at the Boke Bowl West location, which is at 1200 NW 18th (cross street is Northrup, right along the trolley line), and is only served from 11 AM – 3 PM on Saturday and Sundays. Although dim sum is available, you can also still choose to order from their regular ramen menu and such as well. For a winter special they are offering a duck ramen (which you see here with the add in of fried chicken and their orange dot sauce, a pickled mustard seed in aioli base) and they have a vegetarian ramen option with Caramelized fennel dashi and add in of brined smoked tofu). . If you haven’t experienced Boke ramen yet, I think it is very tasty especially if you want to take a vegetarian and if you are ok and even want to try a fusion style that is not traditional ramen in any way and set your expectations accordingly. For instance, I always always get the fried chicken add in, not just for the chicken protein but to add the ODS sauce flavor to the bowl. Reservations and take out are not available for dim sum- and just like most dim sum service, there a

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

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 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.
