Kayo's Ramen Bar

The curry ramen was very yummy! They have lots of customization options and add ons, including vegan and gluten free bases and appetizers. Fast and friendly service.

REALLY RAD RAMEN & HOUSEMADE GRUB Vegans, gluten-free folks, and carnivores can all dine here in harmony. Their vegan broths are FIRE and I love that you can customize your bowl for a fair price. You can opt for rice noodles or zucchini noodles instead of traditional ones. My tan tan spicy ramen wasn’t cheap at $19, but it was worth every penny. I added corn, bamboo shoots, and Chashu pork to complete my bowl. Soooo yummy! The Chashu pork was tender and among the best I’ve had in Portland. I had their housemade potstickers for takeaway one day with coworkers and thought they were delicious. Maybe the best vegan potstickers I’ve ever had. I look forward to trying them as a dine-in experience. I’m going to work my way through their menu and will update soon.

This is one of my top 3 favorite Ramen spots in Portland. Everything is always fresh and the service is quick. I usually get the Mala Ramen spicy. I’m glad that when you ask for it spicy it truly is the level you’re looking for. I love spicy food though so if you think it’s going to be mild - it’s not. Extra spicy is too much for me but if you’re not feeling well and need to clear your sinuses then it’s perfect. Also the half and half gluten and non gluten noodles are the way to go. I used to live in the neighborhood and it’s a cute little area of town. Parking can be somewhat hard to find but it’s worth it! If you have a larger party everyone has to be there in order to get sat, (I usually go alone). I definitely recommend this place! It’s great for if you’re traveling to Portland on vacation and looking for a yummy place to chill and eat.
