Reviews for Boke Bowl in Portland, OR
The short of it: Kind staff, an upbeat atmosphere, and not a single dish made without care. The staff member at the register... was primarily Aidan, but Jake and a few kitchen staff members were fantastic with a quick "what do you need", "how can I help?",or even "what's up bud?" I can't wait to try more of their menu every time I'm in the area! Read more
Vegan ramen ? out of this world! Caramelized fennel and smoked tofu, this is the best ramen in the universe. Ambience was... lovely, condiments on point, and staff delightful. Thank you for the delicious food! Xo - Dill & Nicholas Read more

Every time we eat here we enjoy the food. It is delicious! I had the poke bowl and highly recommend it.
Food was so good! Maybe a little bit salty but still very tasty! Super friendly staff!
Came in at 5ish pm. Ordered right away. Plenty of seating. Food came out fast. The fried chicken was awesome. Perfectly fried.... Had it in the rice bowl and shared the steam buns. I don?t know what the sauce is on top of the chicken - sort of a mustard or arelish - but it is delicious. This place is great for our vegetarian too. She had the fennel ramen and mushroom rangoons andloved them. We ordered 3 sides and 4 mains to share between five of us. Came to about $120 total. No leftovers, but everyone wasfull after a very busy day in Portland. Read more
Today was my second visit to Boke Bowl, for Portland Mercury's Wing Week 2021, with the previous visit also being for a Wing... Week (in 2018). This year's Boke Wings (pictured) are Star-Anise brined, medium-to-very spicy wings are heavily coated in amixture of Hot Boke and Thai Chili Wing Sauces, and topped with sesame seeds. The heat from these wings definitely persists.They were very saucy, and the sauce itself was like a thick, very spicy catsup (red jalapenos and Thai green chiles). Notably,I would say that their chicken meat, itself, was one of the most flavorful, of the now 14 Wing Week entries that I have sampled,this year. The other stop with notably flavorful chicken meat was also brined and smoked - so, it really seems like that may bea great route to go, for chicken, if it's within a venue's capabilities. The sesame seeds were pretty, and added a subtletextural element, which I enjoyed, and the service was good; friendly, prompt, and accommodating.

Poke and ramen place in Water Street area. I had a tuna poke. It was a salad like poke here. With pokes, each shop has different... poke, you can?t tell until you actually get the dish. The poke had, tuna, grilled delicata squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, avocadoand a pile of arugula. The rice was mixed with a bit of sesame. They also have many ramen dishes curry rice (not Japanese style,more like Thai, but they call it Portland style) as for an appetizer, they have buns and dumplings and many other dishes. Read more
