The Best Ramen in Portland, Beaverton, and Beyond | Eater Portland

"Tigard’s best ramen bar specializes in tori paitan ramen, a creamy chicken-based broth, but it does more than that: Mugen’s menu offers a number of unconventional bowls, including a lemongrass-scented spicy shrimp with tempura prawns, a salty shio made with eight different types of sea salt from around the world, or a vegan ramen made with Oregon hazelnuts. The move here is decidedly the curry ramen, which combines the tori paitan with curry paste, finished with shimeji mushrooms, corn, and crispy egg noodles. Seating can be limited, so small parties would be the best strategy to avoid a lengthy wait time." - Zoe Baillargeon
