Kayo's Ramen

Great ramen! We had the TanTan and Curry Ramen, both were delicious. For dessert, the Basque style Japanese cheesecake made the perfect way to finish this delectable meal! We will definitely be back!

It's a pretty good casual spot for ramen, they have a solid menu and different options, whether you're more in the mood for soup or a rice bowl. They also have some fusion tacos. Overall, their food that I've tried is good, I thought the MaLa ramen (medium spicy) had a nice kick, and their beef is tasty. It's not perfect though, the serving sizes aren't the largest and a bit pricey for what you do end up getting, and it's not the most authentic in the area, but I was satisfied with my food. Service was efficient and quick, and it's a nice spot for lunch, I would want to return.

The food was great. I had the vegan Tan Tan noodles, super spicy. As a spicy food enjoyer, I’d say it was closer to medium. Broth was rich, lots of toppings, and the noods were just right. The fella who took our order and brought out our food went above and beyond. Service was priompt, value was good. We will be back.

Wonderful and delicious experience! We ordered the TanTan and Shoyu Ramen, as well as the Spicy Mala Pork, Chashu Tofu, and TanTan tacos and they were all packed with rich and tasty flavors. The owner Mikey saw we ordered almost all of the tacos to try, and surprised us with their Mole Taco which was actually the best one out of the four! He said that it was his personal favorite but it wasn’t their most popular…it surely should be though! Overall the staff is very nice and hospitable, the restaurant is fun and clean and organized, we will definitely come again and recommend to all of our friends to come try 🙌

Five stars! Aaron was great and the space was warm and inviting. The Spicy Miso Ramen was perfectly balanced with the right kick, and the classic Miso Ramen was rich and comforting. The kids loved their Shoyu Ramen and the white rice was a nice touch. Fantastic experience all around!

Honestly, it was a pretty mid experience. The food was good but nothing compared to some of the better ramens I've had at about the same price. Broth was decent (mostly tasted like soy sauce tho), meat was ok, noodles were cooked nice. You won't be disappointed but won't be surprised. I got the Shio Ramen bone borth with pork.

I have been here twice now, and the ramen is absolutely superb. On my first visit, I had the shoyu with chashu pork, and the broth was delicious. On my second visit, I got the miso ramen with chashu pork and shitake. This is the best miso broth I've had at a ramen place. It felt like a warm hug on a cold day. You're greeted with a smile by a friendly staff, and they welcome any questions ramen newbies might have. I will definitely be coming again. Thanks again, Kayo's Ramen!

It's cool that they opened a second location out in Beaverton. The model here is order at counter and then take a seat. The wait wasn't too long for us as we saw the ramen coming out pretty quickly for people. We ordered the Tan Tan and a Miso ramen. We also ordered a spicy mala taco. Both of the ramen were good, but I think the Tan Tan was the better one. The taco had some good flavor and was of a good size. The interior is not too big, with about 8 tables or so.

Great ramen place! Love the vegan tantan!!!! The mild is still pretty spicy, but ok. The egg is delicious. The tofu is marinated and I thought it was pork at first, but it's so good! Get the cucumber salad too!

I recently ate here with friends. The service was fast and I enjoyed our appetizers which included spring rolls and mushrooms. We also had an amazing soft Basque like cheesecake as a dessert. Kudos to the appetizers and the dessert. I would definitely come back for them. Cons: The vegetarian ramen was good, but bland. It wasn't as flavorful as I anticipated, which was a bummer. Having gone to Oswego noodle house and FuddoYama ramen (in Beaverton) recently, I just was under the impression that the ramen was going to be as flavorful as those spots, but unfortunately it wasn't. I also ordered one vegan tofu taco. It was small, and a bit underwhelming. Again, not that much flavor - I added my lime for taste, but it was a bit unmemorable and overpriced. It seemed like the ramen and tacos were either very bland or extremely spicy nothing much in-between. If I come back I might have to ask more questions about the menu because the ramen was lacking the flavor I was anticipating. Prices seemed to be high and my friend's tab was well over $40 because she insisted on buying our table a few appetizer plates. Since you pre-order up front, I was thinking the menu would be a tad cheaper. Still hoping prices go down or stay steady since everything has gotten spendy over the past few years. Atmosphere was pretty basic. Glad I tried it, but I wasn't wowed by the ramen or the Asian inspired tofu taco.

So it's cold and wet with a chance of snow What are you to do ? you go to Ramen of course !! I realized why not try this new ramen location on Cedar Hills Walked in to some extremely quick and friendly service, you order at the counter I had the miso Ramen and was advised not to have the very hot version - so I went with the regular spice level with pork The Ramen was just perfectly spicy, hot to bring a little sweat on the forehead , but not to burn your tongue The pork was excellent as was the spinach leaves, which go really well with the soup. The noodles were just the right consistency I'm gonna have to come back and try some of the other robins on the menu

This is a fast for ramen, casual spot where you order at the counter before getting seated. We came during the lunch rush and had to wait for a table but the staff is quite courteous and attentive. We ordered the TanTan Ramen, Spicy Miso Ramen, Kid's Ramen, Mole Taco and Chashu Taco. The food was delivered to the table pretty quickly. I thought the heat of the spicy Miso didn't enhance the overall flavor. The TanTan broth was robust and something I would order again. Both tacos were good. While I prefer the Mole Taco the Chashu is kid approved. The service is 5 stars. The food and limited sitting is brings my overall rating to a 4.

A very subpar ramen restaurant. For just the base price, all you're getting is soup, noodles, spinach, and your choice of protein. I got the miso ramen with medium heat for $14.50 and my boyfriend ordered the spicy miso ramen for $15.50. Both looked exactly the same, but I guess the spicy miso ramen is a dollar more? Save your dollar and just order the miso ramen with medium heat. If you want more toppings, each one costs $1 more. The soup tasted average and as other people mentioned, it was good, but nothing mind-blowing. Disappointing ramen restaurant, I'd recommend Kizuki instead!

I was really excited to try this place and finally got the chance to dine in. You order as soon as you enter the restaurant and they eventually serve the ramen bowls to your table. I believe everything is made to order. Seating space is pretty decent, I imagine they might have longer wait times during the night. Overall, the ramen was okay and nothing extraordinary. It came with simple greens and pork. For other toppings like an egg, they charge $1 each.

It's cool that they opened a second location out in Beaverton. The model here is order at counter and then take a seat. The wait wasn't too long for us as we saw the ramen coming out pretty quickly for people. We ordered the Tan Tan and a Miso ramen. We also ordered a spicy mala taco. Both of the ramen were good, but I think the Tan Tan was the better one. The taco had some good flavor and was of a good size. The interior is not too big, with about 8 tables or so.

A little hard to find at first, but worth the search. A little gem tucked into Cedar Hills Crossing mall. We got there early on a saturday and it was full when we left. We ordered at the counter, and had our choice of ramen. i ordered a traditional ramen that had a very good broth. The pork was great. The noodles were a little too chewy. The ambiance was fine for a little lunch spot, nothing fancy. We were pretty much left alone to eat our meal.

You order right as you enter and seat yourself at this establishment, and the food is then served at your table by the one staff member who greets customers, takes orders, packs to go orders, and also serves the food. Drinks are self service. The vegan menu items feel quite overpriced, at the same price as the meat options. The spice options are impressive, though myself I really only cared for the mole tacos. Not really a place to repeat in my opinion though I was hoping to find myself a new go to spot.

Amazing food, I need to go back. They are freshly open and took over an old Boxer Ramen location and so they didn't have to do very much remodeling to make it their own. It's really cool inside and staff is overly nice and checks in on you often.

The food here at kayos is the main draw for me. Ive been to the Williams st location and its the mothership of ramen goodness. Kayos combines some flavors from all over Asia. The make an amazing mala sauce that goes into their famous mala ramen. They make their own broths, a clear that combines chicken and pork, and a vegan broth that is loaded up with shiitake flavor. If you order it spicy be prepared to eat spicy as they don't pull punches on the spice. A menu sleeper that needs to be discovered are their japon Tacos, crispy bits of chasu pork combined in a high quality corn tortilla topped off with mala sauce mayo is fire! Die die must try!! Service was warm & friendly, staff attentive, and the ambiance was portlandia , energetic, with good tunes snd good vibes all around. No go slurp some noodles and f up some tacos!

Had a really good bowl of ramen here the other day during a soft opening. Ordered the Tan Tan with soft boiled egg. The peppercorn wasn't overpowering link I've had at some places. Ordered spicy and it had a nice kick. It's different type of ramen than my usual spots so it's worth adding to my rotation. They have interesting fusion tacos as well. I had the mole which was good and I'll try out the other ones in the next few visits.

I really wanted to like this place. I think it's so cute, employees were friendly. I got the miso ramen and my partner got the spicy miso. They were extremely salty, like so salty I couldn't eat it. I don't know if there was a mistake in this batch or if it is normally like that. It just sucks because the noodles were incredible and everything else.

We came in the first week they were open and had a wonderful meal!! Obsessed with the tan tan ramen and their cheesecake. The pork gyoza was just so so to me. The restaurant is clean and welcoming. Wonderful staff! We will be coming here at least twice a month for ramen, yumm!! Thank you for coming to the 'burbs!

I have visited the other Kayo's location in Portland a handful of times before. Upon entry, the layout seems a bit awkward. Very busy, not enough tables. Due to short number of staff, the wait was a bit longer. I got the TanTan ramen. At only after 12, there was sadly no tofu. The ramen was good, but it was just missing something. It wasn't mind blowing, i think tofu instead of meat would've made the experience a lot better for me. It was salty and needs a hint of acidity just to balance it perfectly. Maybe some additional veggie options would be great. The noodles were perfect though and the serving size was very generous.

clean place, friendly staff, delicious ramen! the broth is perfectly spiced and good and creamy, will be back soon!

The food is delicious. Best ramen I've had so far. The Shoyu ramen had great flavor and perfect size noodles. We also had the cucumbers, pot stickers and chashu taco. We even got to meet the owner Mikey who was serving food, taking orders and budding tables. Good place to try if you're in the area.
