"Koku brings the contemporary Korean-Japanese restaurant model to Beaverton, and it brings along with it some solid bowls of ramen. The soups here — such as the mala tonkotsu, its midweight broth blotted by chile oil — stand on their own just fine; however, quirky accompaniments like “cocktail sacks,” fruity and floral adult Capri-suns, along with the beautiful modern wooden décor, ultimately contribute considerably to Koku’s lure." - Zoe Baillargeon

My husband went to a tap house for lunch with his friends, but the food options were too limited and left him unsatisfied. So, as soon as he got home, we went to this ramen place together. The interior had changed, giving it a more spacious, stylish, and inviting atmosphere. We enjoyed some beer and cocktails while sharing a bowl of tonkotsu ramen and gyoza. Unfortunately, the broth lacked depth and wasn’t quite satisfying for a tonkotsu lover. However, the chashu was large and melt-in-your-mouth tender, reminding me of a ramen shop we used to love in downtown. Also, the fact that the gyoza were pan-fried rather than deep-fried was a big plus!😊✨

When this place first opened food we ordered was bland and I didn’t think this place would last. Today’s visit the food was delicious. The waitress seemed odd, but the food was good. Back on my list for where I might go when we go out again.

Koku Ramen & Bites has quickly become one of my favorite spots for comfort food. The tonkotsu ramen is rich and full of flavor, the karaage chicken is perfectly crispy, and the rice bowls are consistently delicious. However, just a heads-up — they have a strict policy on limiting how many credit/debit cards can be used per table. It makes group dining inconvenient, and unfortunately, it’s discouraged some of my friends from coming back despite how good the food is. Food: 4.5/5 Customer Service: 2/5 (mainly due to the card policy)

This is our absolute favorite place to grab ramen. My kids love it. The Tonkotsu is just perfect. My gentle complaint is their table cleaning solution has a really strong smell and hits you when you walk in. It’d be great if the first thing you smell is the ramen & food instead - because it’s delicious!

Good place for Ramen. I got the miso Ramen with karaage chicken and my husband got the mala tonkotsu ramen with Chasu pork. The broth made up of chicken and pork was great and noodles were good. Ramen Egg was okay. Karaage chicken was wonderful. Overall a good experience and good and quick service. Great ambience and ample parking available.

The restaurant's environment was pleasant and the service was great. The waitress even actively asked us if we wanted straws. However, the food was not very impressive/of average taste and quality, especially considering the price.

So I want to rate this place higher but the Miso ramen I ordered was just so bland! The broth was lacking, the pork was dry even though soaked in broth. It's not *bad* ramen but it is *not* a 15 dollar a bowl ramen. It's a 8 dollar bowl of ramen. The tempura shrimp was over fried and the little flakes on it were so dry I actually choked on it a few times. I at all of them because despite being dry they tasted pretty good. But a few moments less in the fryer would have gone a long way for them!! There was a delivery guy hanging out loudly talking to someone on speaker phone and the employees didn't bother to ask him to beat bit quieter. I just wanted to eat in peace but he was quite loud. It ruined my ramen and chill vibes. It's just not worth the price you pay for the product they serve when other places at a similar price point in the area are just much tastier.
