This is a combined review based on several visits to Miyagi Ramen in Bend, Oregon. My most recent visit was on Friday, July 10, 2025.
Each visit has been consistently enjoyable, always during a weekday lunch and typically with one other person. The space is open and airy, with the option for outdoor seating. The restaurant is clean, well maintained, and the staff has always been friendly, professional, and polite.
It's usually easy to get a seat. On occasion, it can get busy, but I've never had trouble finding a comfortable place to sit with just a little flexibility.
The ordering system is straightforward. You place your order at the counter, take a number, and your food is brought to the table. There's a convenient water station with small metal pitchers, cups, utensils, hot sauce, soy sauce, and more. Fountain drinks are available for self-serve as well.
Food consistently arrives promptly and is freshly prepared from quality ingredients. I almost always get the Spicy Miso Ramen, which has a satisfying kick without being overwhelming. It's flavorful and reliably good. Today I tried something new: the Miyagi Don rice bowl with chicken karaage and spicy mayo. It delivered exactly what I was hoping for. The chicken was ultra-crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor.
This is a go-to spot for a quick, delicious lunch in a comfortable setting with great service. My only minor complaint (not the case today) is that the music at lunch can sometimes be overly loud. Since lunch is often a time for conversation, I've never quite understood that choice. Still, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Miyagi Ramen to others.
