Kinboshi Ramen
Welcome to Kinboshi Ramen, a delightful culinary gem nestled in the heart of Portland, Oregon, at 609 SE Ankeny St A. This charming eatery is dedicated to crafting authentic ramen experiences that dazzle the palate. A call to all ramen enthusiasts, Kinboshi Ramen stands out for its commitment to quality ingredients and robust flavors.
As you stroll through the welcoming environment, you're immediately enveloped by enticing aromas wafting from the kitchen. Francesca Jones, one of its ardent patrons, captures the essence of Kinboshi perfectly: "Everything that can be good about a restaurant Kinboshi achieves it." Guests rave about the Tonkotsu Shoyu broth, known for its rich, creamy texture that envelops your taste buds with each sip.
The attention to detail is evident—each bowl comes adorned with perfectly cooked soft-boiled eggs and an array of scrumptious toppings. One cannot overlook the star of the show, the pork! Many diners, like G Shishido, are enamored by the phenomenal and flavorsome chashu, which is cooked to perfection, adding depth to the dish. The generous portions ensure that no one leaves with an empty stomach.
Kinboshi Ramen also caters to varying dietary needs with a solid selection of vegan options, as noted by Diana Mendez. While some guests have mentioned longer wait times, the culinary experience is often deemed well worth it. A touch of outdoor seating allows diners to enjoy their meals amidst the vibrant ambiance of Portland, although a suggested heater for the cooler months could enhance that experience further.
One unique highlight of Kinboshi Ramen is their Ramen Curry Set, as Camille Dewaratanawanich discovered. It seamlessly combines the best of both worlds, offering a delicious and hearty curry that stands out for its flavor and fulfilling nature. Pair it with one of their refreshing drinks to elevate your meal.
Overall, Kinboshi Ramen not only serves outstanding ramen but creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes every visit a memorable one. If you're looking for a place where flavor meets authenticity, I encourage you to visit Kinboshi Ramen—your taste buds will surely thank you!

“ Everything that can be good about a restaurant- Kinboshi achieves it, IT WAS SO GOOD. For our Tonkotsu Shoyu: broth- delicious, soft boiled egg- perfectly cooked, toppings- varied and scrumptious, THE PORK!!!??? Phenomenal, fatty in the best way and just bursting with flavor. Please go here! Immediately! ”
“ I liked the ramen and that they have a fair selection of vegan options, but I’m not sure it’s worth the long wait for the dishes. Having some kind of heater in the outdoor area would be very nice. ”
“ Nice little restaurant for ramen. Noodles are very firm and cut short (not like traditional ramen). Broth is very well flavored but a bit oily. Meat (chicken & tonkatsu) has a good depth of flavor (not just salted), tender and slightly small portion for the size. Overall ok, not amazing but good for something different with an Asian swing. ”
“ Kinboshi Ramen experience with my small family of four went well, I’d say the whole group left with a happy tummy We ordered a Tonkotsu Shoyu and a Tonkotsu Shoyu Red(spicy) and an add on Curry Set for $4 The ramen was rich, well balanced and almost creamy. The spice level was perfect, any more I would have really been sweating portion size was generous. The chashu was cooked to perfection! The noodles had an unexpected but welcomed bite that tied the whole bowl together nicely, I’ll be back again on my next trip up from San Francisco Arigatou Gozaimasu ”
“ The Ramen curry set here is an incredible way to have the best of both worlds. I think the standout dish is definitely the curry though! So flavorful and filling. Really great drinks and vibes. Had a great time here with family and friends. ”
