The Best Restaurants to Eat and Drink Around the Buckman Neighborhood in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland
"Formerly under the Tokyo-based Marukin Ramen chain, Kinboshi is part of the earliest wave of Japanese-owned ramen spots that landed in Portland in the early 2010s. Now independently owned, the restaurant has expanded beyond its beginnings of tonkotsu ramen. And while the pork-rich broths are still a major focus of the menu, patrons will find other broths that are now common staples of ramen restaurants in Portland like paitan (chicken), miso, and even a soymilk-based vegan shio — customizable with additional toppings like chashu pork crumbles and house shichimi chile oil. Options beyond ramen include fast-casual Japanese comfort bowls of donburi, curry rice, and chicken karaage. However, if you want to expand your horizons on Asian fried chicken, try the Tebasaki wings–covered with a savory-sweet glaze reminiscent of teriyaki sauce." - Katrina Yentch
