"The Bambino Bowl at Boke Bowl on Southeast Water Ave is one of the best kid-friendly dishes you’ll come across in Portland. The simple-but-delicious ramen bowl comes with noodles, broth, snow peas, and a choice of caramelized fennel tofu or pork. Similarly, the Bambino rice bowl comes with a choice of protein plus snow peas, carrots, and cucumbers. Boke Bowl also has a nice assortment of steam buns — fried chicken, miso mushroom, jackfruit, brisket — and a peanut butter and jelly steam bun for kids. Some juice for the kids and craft cocktails or sake for the adults will have everyone happy, and the shop’s dinosaur chopsticks are a great way to get uninitiated kids started." - Jenni Moore, Levi Rogers
