Oswego Noodle House

We went here last minute on a Friday night and were greeted and seated immediately. There was a nice family friendly ambiance as well as several neighborhood locals on date night. We sat at a corner table and ended up meeting another couple at dinner and chatted for a long time. During dinner, my partner loved his spicy ramen so much that he ordered another bowl of it and devoured it in one sitting. Delicious- even for gluten free eaters :)

The food is presented well but is mediocre at best. It doesn’t taste like traditional ramen and is way overpriced for the quality you are getting. I was excited to try it because the pictures looked good but the price, quality, and atmosphere were all unfortunately lacking.

Some of the freshest ramen I've had yet! Delicious broth flavor and fresh ingredients. Ordered the R1 ramen and the chicken wings. The alone would have been fantastic but the chicken wings sent it over the moon. I don't want to post this review because it is so good and I don't want them to get too busy - but it is so yummy!

REMARKABLE RAMEN SPOT I’ve been to this spot twice now and my husband three times. We both love how close to our house it is, the ample parking available, and the big menu it has in addition to the ramen. There really is something for everyone on this menu. This is in the top 10 ramen shops in Portland for sure, but definitely not the top 5. Chashu pork is decent and their miso eggs are PERFECTION, but their broth is somewhat bland and lacking the depth I like to experience in a ramen. I would also like to see them using a more quality noodle such as Sun noodles, but maybe I’m in the minority there. If the noodles are Sun, they were over-cooked sogginess the time I didn’t get the crispy noods. I also would’ve appreciated the ramen broth temperature to be way hotter when served to me. Per the server yesterday, they have several items on their appetizer menu that are housemade: Gyoza Takoyaki Karaage Tuna Corn Rolls Crab Rangoon PP Wings Since I’m a sucker for housemade items, we went for the spicy karaage and it was delicious. I want to try the takoyaki, gyoza, or crab rangoons next time. Hub’s drink was finished before the ramen came out and he was not offered another. He had to flag the server down to ask. Restaurant was a tad dirty. Condiment caddy was dirty/oily, booth seat dirty, and mess on floor. UPDATE JULY 2024 Much better service and cleanliness these last two visits. We tried their wings and they are PHENOMENAL. Khao Soi was mid due to stale noodles. My husband’s ramen noodles were not too soggy this time. We keep coming back to this spot, as it’s the best ramen LO has to offer and their other dishes are pretty rad as well.

Amazing little hidden spot! They make 4 broths daily and they're all very unique and different from each other. I haven't disliked a single one. I'm surprised I've never had to wait for a table in this rather small but amazing family owned true ramen joint. Service always quick and friendly! Great little sake selection as well. Wishing I could give an extra star for reals!

The karaage chicken was pretty good but the Udon was subpar. It was basically just noodles and pork in a bowl of broth. The pork tasted old and the broth wasn’t that good either. I was also a little turned off by the fact that they charge extra for items that are in the picture next to the price, like a soft boiled egg. If you’re not going to include it then don’t put it in the picture with a price next to it.

We came here while on our way home from PDX. What a wonderful addition to the community! All of the food we had was well seasoned and the chicken was remarkably cooked. Not a single dry piece in any of the dishes. I had the khao soi and my husband had the karaage platter. We'll be back here next time we're in the Portland Metro!

A friend and I just wandered into this adorable little noodle house. The waitress was so sweet and suggested what was most popular. Fast service and very attentive. I am excited to try another Ramen bowl. They have nice bar with an extensive selection of beverages. The music 🎶 adds to the delightful experience.

The food was great as usual, but service was a bit unattentive this time around. That's okay, it happens. We figured they were short staffed.The food was still incredible! The ramen is always amazing with its rich broth and variety of ingredients. It's our go too. The wings are a great compliment to the meal too, especially if you want to start with an appetizer. This place is tucked in a neighborhood! Looks like a great spot to have a beverage outside during the summer. Check it out! You won't be sorry

Well, its a cute place. One server on a busy Sunday is not enough. Service was slow, and really didn't have enough time to ask questions. The fried tofu was the weirdest most awful fried tofu I've had in my entire life. It was not crisp, it was like soggy bread. We shared one piece and when I mentioned how bad it was to the server there was zero reaction. I had the Thai noodle which would have been delicious if the noodles were cooked through. I took it home finished cooking the noodles and it was very good. I though the shrimp tempura was good. I will try one more time, and hope it's a better experience.

Upon arrival, we were greeted with an attitude. Small businesses should be happy when customers show up. I would give 5 stars since the food is good, but customer service is really poor. Definitely will not return. #Customer = Revenue

Service was very good, food (Ramon) was spectacular, hot fresh and filling! Very comfortable setting, will be back

Came here while in town on business. Wish I could give it 4.5 stars. The hot wings were outstanding, but the Ma-Ren left a lot to be desired. Wish I got the spicy tonkotsu instead. The ma-ten was still good, just not great. Will definitely give it another try if I'm in the area.

Went here on a whim because our first option sold out of bread lol. This place replaced a sports bar so the look is interesting. Ramen was great. We got the special spicy Shoyu and the standard tonkotsu. Savory salty broth, nice noodles. Pork super tender. Takoyaki was solid 7/10. Great service. They say it's the best ramen in Oswego area. Worth coming back

I was so excited when I found out that there was a new restaurant in LO that had good take out. We are always looking for spots to get something easy, quick and delicious. This fit the bill completely. I got chicken and rice and my husband tried one of the Pho dishes (can't remember which one ). We've already been back several times.

New menu means new items, possibly too many? The maramen was extremely spicy! If you can't handle ghost pepper heat, I wouldn't try it. It laterally gave me heartburn! The karaage (Japanese fried chicken) was burnt and definitely tasted it. But the tonkatsu ramen was perfect. And of course the service is always good here.

I'm so exited about this new restaurant in the Westlake neighborhood at the base of Mountain Park! We arrived around 6pm, and there was only 2 tables left. The restaurant filled up while we were there. This neighborhood is embracing this new restaurant. This neighborhood has lots of families, and there were several tables with kids. For the finicky kids, I recommend the Chicken Karaage Rice Bowl or Appetizer (see my photo) Kids can enjoy these yummy Japanese Fried Chicken Nuggets while the rest of the family can enjoy healthy bowls of Ramen. The ramen here is very family style. the Tonkatsu is not spicy, unless you ask for more spice. I especially love that the ramens come with veggies, making it a balanced meal. The Beef Stew Ramen includes big chunks of tender beef. I was torn between the Tonkatsu and the Shrimp Tempura Ramen. I guess I will have the Shrimp Tempura Ramen the next time I visit. Our waiter was very attentive, even as the restaurant became full of families and couples. My friend actually ordered the Beef Stew Ramen, and got the Shoyu Ramen by mistake. Our waiter came by in a very short amount of time to check on how we were doing. "No problem! I'll bet you some Beef Stew", which he brought out in a minute. The ambiance was fresh, new, cozy, and inviting. My friend noticed the glass garage door, wondering if this was a garage conversion. I said that during the warmer months, opening the glass garage door allows for the fresh air to come in and opens up the space for more tables. I highly recommend this friendly neighborhood restaurant. I will be back!

I literally screamed when I drove by and saw the sign said RAMEN. I was super sad when West Pub did not survive the pandemic, and was really glad that something else opened in its place. Lake Oswego has always been an Asian food desert until recently years. We finally have some good Indian, Thai, and sushi restaurants opening, but I still had to travel out of LO for Ramen. I had very high hope for this place. We tried the ramen, chicken wings, and chicken karage. Here is my opinion: 1. Chicken wing has good flavor. I chose to get the non-spicy ones because the description said it has sweet chili sauce. I think I could use a little more spice. It's pretty sweet, and can't really taste the chilli. But it's crispy and I will order again. 2. Orange chicken karage - probably my least favorite item. The sauce is not very orangy. The chicken was not very hot when it comes to us, and the breading is not very crispy anymore. That is disappointing because chicken karage usually had crispier breaking then normal fried chicken. 3. Ramen was good. Egg was cooked well. Chashu was flavorful. But the soup was not very hot when it got to us. Overall service was a bit slow. But that's understandable because we came right in the middle of lunch hour and there was only 2 waiter/waitress and they are doing all the ordering, cleaning, and payments. Overall, I'd say it's not the best ramen place I have tried. But for the location and being a new small restaurant, I can forgive a lot. I will definitely come back and try again. Hopefully it can get over the new restaurant hump and establish themselves. One small suggestion - the restaurant kept all the layout and decor of Westlake pub, including 20~ beer tap. Maybe use a few of those and offer bar sitting and draft beer? Local residents will enjoy that I think.

So happy to have a new restaurant open in this space. Super nice service. Menu of ramen ( even make your own choices option) and kaarage + rice. Lots of appetizers. Kids friendly. My son loves the orange chicken. I really enjoyed the tonkatsu ramen. The egg was perfectly soft boiled and so good. It was perfect for a sudden June rain storm. Thankful they have other items on menu for the summer. Want to try the wings. Bar is not open. Hopefully they can put some beers on tap. Maybe it's a throwback to the previous restaurant. But it was so nice in the summer so hopefully they will have some options in the future as they grow

Absolute gem! This noodle house is a bit hidden but once you find it you will be hooked like we are! Flavors, plating, even the menu is written like a good romance....everything we have tried has been delicious and the gyoza is fantastic! Sorry no pic of that we didn't think before we feasted.

The service was good and the server was very polite, however the only problem we had was with the seating. Don't get me wrong, there was plenty enough seating today, but because of lack of education on the part of the owner, who was not there and I could not speak to in person, we were told by the nice and polite worker that dogs have to sit outside. I explained to her that, yes, she is a dog, but this is NOT A PET, but a Hearing Service Dog that provides a service for her Deaf Handler. We were being forced to sit outside because she is a dog by the owner, and the worker was only doing what the owner was asking her to do. She asked us for registration or a card to prove that Mocha is a "legal" Service Animal, but the owner doesn't know this is NOT A REQUIREMENT BY LAW FOR A SERVICE ANIMAL. Because the owner is not educated on the difference between a pet, who should sit outside, and a Service Animal who has a job to do and has the right to be inside of the restaurant along with it's handler, they need to know the following: Can you ask for proof of service dog in Oregon? Questions about someone's disability, asking the dog to demonstrate the task, or requests for "certification" or other kinds of documentation are not allowed. Why? Well, disability is private, the task may not be demonstrate-able, and people are allowed to train their own service animal (meaning they may not have documentation). Business owners and staff are allowed to ask two questions of anyone bringing in an animal they say is a service animal: Is your dog required because of a disability? What work or task is it trained to perform? We wanted to sit inside and to be able to sit at a regular table along with our Hearing Service Dog Mocha as an animal that provides a service to her Deaf Handler. The worker allowed us to sit at the bar, we did do it, however, we have the right to sit at a table where it is much easier to have her sit at a table so she can sit under the table as she was trained to do. It isn't that she isn't flexible, she does what she needs to do, however, moving forward, I hope this educates them.

The best ramen and serving size is just right, hope they won't change anything or lessen the noodles. Service needs improvement, quite a wait wondering if they're short staffed. The place is cozy and may make the space bigger someday.

Great ramen spot tucked away in LO. The entire family enjoyed our dinner here. Staff was super friendly and the food is so good. We will definitely be coming back for more.

The best ramen I ever had. Tasty and amazing! I was so hungry and forgot to take a picture of the noodles

Best Fukuoka style street noodles in town. Been 15 years since living in Fukuoka but such a delicious bowl of noodles brings back the memories. The orange chicken bowl is hearty. Am anxious to try more. Friendly place. This summer evening they opened up the open air bar. A must try recommendation

Food is always great, wait time can be a lil long but that's normal for a place that's always busy! Super clean, reasonable prices.

the food= thumbs up the service= thumbs wayyy down you should be ashamed to call yourself a server The first time I didn't really care, sometimes people have their days and food was decent. The second time, maybe it's personal. While the food may be good, it just doesn't justify feeling unappreciated... probably won't return if she still works there. I believe it's the same gal pictured in another 1 star review. So you should ask her what she did or why she treats customers like that.

Decent food, but insane prices. 3.5 wings= $17 plus tip. This is the tip. You'd make a lot of money selling three and one half wings for $10. That would be expensive but in the realm of reasonable! Here's my tip. Lower your prices and make it up on volume.

Excellent, yummy, clean and fast. Highly recommend Also great service and atmosphere

Couldn't say enough good things. Love love their ramen!! I did the build your own ramen, the broth was so tasty. My husband got the gyoza and really enjoyed it. We will definitely be back!

Love the ambience, we came here in the summer and sat outside. Service was wonderful. Only issue is I ordered the crispy miso ramen. The quality of the noodles was not as good as I expected.

This is one of the best Ramen places in all of Oregon. It's an added bonus that the staff are super nice and the inside is clean. We tried the Gyoza for an appetizer and immediately wanted to order more. The Ramen is a large portion and delicious!

Perfect for a cold rainy day after the first softball game of the year. R1 and R-1s (spicy). Perfectly cooked ramen in shoyu broth, chasu pork, tender bamboo shoots, bok Choi. Small restaurant atmosphere with seating. Excellent service, Would absolutely eat here again. If it was closer to me here in Gresham, maybe once a week even. Does not leave you feeling heavy afterwards.

I love ramen and was excited to see this place so close to my house! It's cute inside and the server was so sweet! They had a plethora of chili oil that we could add to our food and the Thai iced tea was delicious and not too sweet like other places! Will definitely be back!

I am very glad we found this place by chance after our shopping day. The restaurant was very clean and the customer service was very friendly which is a huge plus nowadays. We came because of the ramen, I got the hot n spicy ramen which was the perfect amount of spicy for once but just in case I did ask for more chili oil because I enjoy SPICY. The broth was delicious, it's the average price $15 for a bowl, I enjoyed it so much I almost finished the entire bowl! I wasn't going to let it go to waste so I did bring the leftover home and it was still enjoyable.

So nice to have a good ramen spot in Lake Oswego. I was very excited when I heard that it opened up. It was a little off the beaten path and felt like I was driving into a neighborhood, not toward a restaurant. But it's worth it to seek it out as the ramen is very good and the service is friendly. Wonderful to have this addition to Lake Oswego and wish the owners success.

Beautiful little gem with lots of indoor / outside seating. It's a very welcoming, friendly, & clean inside. Food was ready in a timely manner and was so delicious. We got the gioza & they were perfectly crispy & so delicious with the sauce served, we also got the miso ramen & a create your own ramen (miso w ramen noodles, spicy chicken meat, bok choy, corn, mushroom with an egg and black garlic oil ) both which came out nice and hot. Noodles were soft and the broth was so flavorful and delicious. So happy to have visited and tried this new spot and will definitely be coming back!

We came on a Friday evening, and ordered Ramen. It was within an hour of closing time. Service was quick. Personally, I thought the Ramen was not as hot (in temperature) as I would like, but it was ok. As we finished our ramen, being the last party there, the wait staff started cleaning the room including spraying a large amount of lemon pledge on the tables. This drifted over the inside. It did not add to the ambiance. Maybe it is better at lunch.

Sooooo delish! Great service. Very clean dining area. I got a chicken bowl & hubs for the pho. Both were very tasty. And the spicy sauces were fun to try.

The food, service, ambiEnce, menu variety, curb and sit-down appeal were overdue in Lake Oswego and the Noodle House has been a welcome addition to our community every sense. It's here to stay, and I owe it to the restaurant to properly complement its ambiEnce. I'm serious. For those in the culinary review business, take note of the importance of spelling mastery before venturing out. It's offensive, and no restaurant deserves to be humiliated with the level of amateurism it took to take a grotesque hack at a word and call it good because "Ambiance" evidently looked close enough. Not quite. For my fellow French speakers, yeah....don't try to make sense of a piece of limb ambulating across the room and exhaling so strong that the mysterious piece of flesh gets its name from its own bad breath. Just keep patronising the Noodle House and writing happy reviews. Am Boyage.

Broth was delicious and additions were fresh. Average $15-18 for bowl. Nice that they give you a better quality napkin. Simple menu. I thought it was nice they focused on one thing and did it well. One vegetarian option. Tucked away in a residential and small business plex. Place appears clean. Decor was a bit ecclectic, with remnants of the prior bistro. I'm hopeful this business will stick around, and appears to have already amassed a local following. Servers were pleasant.

Good food. Good service. My only complaint is that it's a bit pricey but that's what you pay for going to a restaurant in Lake Oswego

Finally found some good teriyaki around here! I've tried 4 other teriyaki places in the area, and they've all been underwhelming. This was good, but very on-the-pricey side. I got the teriyaki bowl, a side of gyoza, and a Coke for $27!

Best ramen around, so happy we don't have to go downtown to get great ramen now. Had the spicy karage chicken, shrimp tempura, and tonkatsu and miso ramen, it was all excellent. Friendly service and convenient location. I used to go to the Westlake public house all the time before they shut down, wishing this noodle house nothing but the best of luck. Didn't have any beer on tap yet but they said it was coming soon, looking forward to some Asahi on tap. Support local!

This place is great! The portions are large, the prices are very reasonable, and the service is excellent. What more could you ask for? I ordered the karange (orange chicken) rice bowl and my wife had the beef ramen. Both were delicious, perfectly cooked and flavorful. No menu item is above $15 (except for the custom ramen bowl, which is $17). For Lake Oswego, this is a bargain. The owners are very nice and having a neighborhood ramen house is a bonus. If you haven't tried it, don't wait. We'll be back.

Grand opening day!! Food was totally awesome. Two of us had Ramen bowls, two of us went for the Rice bowl (orange and spicy chicken). Service was fantastic and the setting on a summer day is so great. The Westlake neighborhood has been waiting for a new restaurant and this was a great choice!!! Welcome to the neighborhood!!!

By far my favorite ramen spot! This is my go to spot after a chilly hike! Go check it out ASAP!

Great food and atmosphere! Very quick service. I could see how it could get a little noisy with more people there, but it was pretty light and quiet when I ate. Still, worth the food!!

Great ramen, could have been a little hotter. Mine was just warm. But flavor was perfect

Great ramen and gyoza. Very causal but also comfortable. Excellent and quick service from a family owned, neighborhood restaurant.

We are so excited to have this relatively new noodle house tucked away in the Westlake area of Lake Oswego. I've had the same thing every time; the Tonkotsu Ramen. It's delicious. Service is great.

Good food and friendly service. We need more restaurants like this. The prices are reasonable and there is a good variety of noodle dishes to choose from.

My 2nd times here , i had tonkatsu ramen and spicy karage . Oh myyyy Its soooooooo good! Service is very friendly. They also have table outside . I will definitely be back! :)

The food and service was great! The ramen is flavorful and delicious. I also ordered the crab Rangoon which was so tasty! I will be coming back.

It's so close I want this to be my go-to noodle house, but the Vegan Ramen is pretty bland.

I was finally able to visit Oswego Noodle House, Lake Oswego. Let me tell you it did not disappoint! I kept hearing about how good the Raman was there. I had the Tonkotsu Raman, it was the best I've ever had, so full of flavor, plus, you get a decent portion, it was delicious! The service was good and very friendly. It's a small place, so you may have to wait a little bit. This ramen was the perfect thing to eat on a cold day. I definitely will be back!

Food was great. Had the crispy fried ramen and was stuffed from the very large bowl served. Definitely recommend this place to anyone.

I love the unique, rich flavor of the soup and it will never be forgotten. And what I like to park a spacious parking place is that the atmosphere is like a family, so you can't deny that you will not come to this shop. Please ask you once and you will know.
