At Boxer Ramen, they only have tonkotsu, spicy miso or mushroom. port tenderloin, soft boiled egg, dried seaweed, bean sprouts, etc). As with a lot of ramen houses, ramen menus are generally is limited to a few kinds of ramen - tonkotsu, either shio or shoyu or kotteri or tsukemem (soup with noodles separate), usually with varoius options (i.e. You must appreciate our perspective having partaken of Ramen in the little walk ups just outside of Tokyo JR station and along Sawtell in West Los Angeles (Little Osaka). We read so much about the new Boxer Ramen opening in PDX that we had to try it out. So cool looking and super delicious! Boxer Ramen only takes cash, but they do have an ATM inside the restaurant, so no worries. While the ramen was decent, the okonomiyaki tots that we ordered on the side were awesome! They take perfectly fried tater tots and drizzle on a creamy spicy aioli & tonkatsu sauce (like a Japanese bbq sauce), then sprinkle it with chili powder, nori (dried seaweed), and paper thin bonito curls which "dance" from the heat of the dish. The ramen noodles themselves were a bit bland. The curry dashi was not spicy, but red chili flakes are available if you want to add some heat (which I would recommend). The dashi (broth) for both of our dishes were tasty. I tried the Vegetarian Curry ramen- tofu, mushrooms, corn, and green onions in a yellow coconut curry broth. My boyfriend ordered the Spicy Red Miso ramen, which came with pork belly & egg in a pork broth. The menu is small (only 4 types of ramen), but still allows for a ramen option for everyone. The atmosphere is casual and to maximize the utilization of the space, when the restaurant is busy, they will often ask if you are willing to share a table with guests that are already seated. I have to admit that we tried Boxer Ramen because I was suckered in by the cute, pop surrealist characters painted onto the restaurant's walls- very young, urban hipster-ish. I can't say enough good things about this place, so definitely check it out. It can be a bit of a wait for a table, but it's also more of the traditional eat-it-and-beat-it Japanese model, so no one is really lingering over the meal, and seats will turn over more quickly than regular restaurants.
There are a variety of beers, or vintage sodas in the bottle for non-alcoholic options. We shared one order, but it's good enough that we would order our own next time. It's partially reconstituted mushrooms, kale and spinach, in a sesame oil/mirin/rice vinegar dressing with sesame seeds. But the truly amazing part was the Greens and Sesame. It's a fairly traditional presentation of the soup, and exceptionally tasty. I had the Tonkatsu-Shio (pork soup base), and my girlfriend had the Spicy Red Miso. There are a variety of soup bases to choose from, and that's probably the hardest part: figuring out what you want. It's within easy walking distance of most of the major hotels downtown as well as the new hotels on the edge of the Pearl District. All in all, a wonderful experience and I'd come back again if I'm ever back in town.Finding this place was a fortunate accident. If you still have room, head around the corner and check out Blue Star donuts - the way donuts ought to be. The price is fair and you can easily make two meals out of one if you're a light eater. I really felt it and tasted it in their product.that's something I really appreciate about the Portland vibe - craftsmanship and artisanal. I really appreciated the love that the owners/cooks/waitresses put into their product. The egg was perfectly poached with the yolk still intact. I've had some ramens where the pork was very bland and/or dry. sure! I had the tonkotsu version and the broth was rich and creamy.the pork was juicy, thick and had a wonderful peppery, smoky flavor.
I went to this place after visiting the Japanese Garden based on my sister's recommendation and I wasn't disappointed! I've had ramen in multiple shops in Japan, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong etc and I would say this place ranks as one of the best for.
