Doesn't look like much being in a refurbished shipping container but this place is vibing. Love the fact that they're following the true Japanese way of eating ramen, eat and go. Enjoy the noodles and go about your day. A simple menu, and one of the better noodles I've just had in Portland. They have a lot of potentials to be something. The location is hard on them, but if you find them on yelp give them a try. We have had a few hiccups with our orders in the past, we've only seen a couple of staff working and one consistent person when we go. Hope the best for Ishi Ishi.
I rarely leave Yelp reviews for anything, but I had to for this delicious ramen shop. If you like ramen this is the place to go. We went back two days in a row on our vacation because we craved the Tonkotsu ramen. The broth is the key and makes this dish with layers of rich flavor. The noodles were perfectly cooked - it was just a lovely ramen experience. We can't wait to visit again soon so we can get ramen!
Stopped here for skewers around 10 pm and they were fantastic. Scallops were perfect. The staff is super friendly and, in a place where late night snacks can be hard to find, this excellence in quality is especially amazing. We will be back!!!
Really good food- menu changes often so you can visit multiple times and never get bored. The people who run & own are really cool. Over all really corky feel and really really good food. I would definitely recommend.
Fantastic ramen! Authentic- delicious - satiating... if you're hankering for traditional tastes of ramen this is your place.
