Yokohama Skyline Eatery

We tried this place first time this week and immediately went back the next day for a second meal. The food is amazingly good. The taste is very well balanced. I really like that the ramen broth is rich and drinkable, not those too dense sauce-like broth. I can't get enough of the pan fried gyoza. It's crispy on the outside and flavorful & soft on the inside. The fried chicken is so juicey with a crispy skin! delicious! Dessert crème caramel is great too. Love the food here so much! The owner is very friendly and we felt so welcomed there. The restaurant is very clean and has a clam ambience. I could sit there all day.

I cannot recommend this place enough! Flavorful and delicious, perfectly balanced and healthy choices! My favorite dish and new go to comfort food is the Japanese Curry and rice with pork! It's savory with a little kick and a really healthy portion. The iced Matcha latte with macadamia milk is amazing! It tastes like a chocolate milkshake! The chicken Karaage are crispy and flavorful with a touch of lemon. The service here is friendly, attentive and welcoming. The price is right and they are open for lunch and dinner until 8pm. The restaurant is centrally located on the Eastside and is family owned. Go! You won't regret it! The ambiance is cafe style with nice natural light and is pretty casual. The restaurant is clean, bright and low key.

Food is good. The owners are very kind. Restaurant is VERY clean. We went during the ice storm in January of 2024, so the quality of food may have been a result of the food not being as fresh from lack of food truck deliveries. I was hoping the ramen would be hotter than it was. The miso based ramen was really good though. We also ordered the spicy ramen which was not as good in my opinion, but my partner enjoyed it. I would return to try more.

10/10 solid bowl of ramen, just like Japan. Parking is street, and yes it's near knot springs. You may or may not run into some transients but it's by a bridge and in MLK. Upon entering it will feel like you've entered an otome ramen game. Place is very clean and modern, the menu is simple and displayed on the giant lcd screens while Lofi music plays softly in the background. I knew I made the right choice when my bowl of Tonkotsu black garlic ramen came out and it's soup broth was gleaming with a viscous thickness, only akin to holy amounts of collagen! Yasss! Finally! Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen: 5/5 Noodles were chewy and perfect. Broth was rich and full of umami. Bamboo shoots cooked nicely. Piece of thick pork was soft and thick. Hojicha latte: Green tea latte was so SOLID' you can tell they use high quality Japanese green tea. It was very fragrant and refreshing. Karage fried chicken: 5/5 They only use chicken thigh meat here so it was super tender and juicy. The batter was double dipped and very light and crispy, just like they do in Japanese pubs. Takoyaki 5/5 Super solid! Service was good and the bar master was very attentive, they are very kind and you can tell they work hard. Make sure to bring cash to tip them in the tip jar. Also be wary that you may not have reception in this area~

Been seeing amazing reviews for this spot and was very excited to drop by. Can confirm, their ramens are very good! The shop is super homey, staffs were all very friendly and hard-working. Their menu is sufficient with a few varieties of ramen broth and meat options you can choose from. We went with the Creamy Tomato Ramen and the Tonkotsu Black Garlic Ramen. Both were very flavorful and delicious. The broth of the creamy tomato was so unique. There were parmesan cheese and pesto that went very well with the well-balanced tomato broth; I loved this one more than I thought I would. You also get thicker noodles in this one -- amazing. The corn and chicken toppings were fresh. The tonkotsu ramen was also well-executed. Rich broth from pork bone and the garlic oil added a layer of depth to it. What I like was how tender their chashu pork was, without being overly fatty like most ramen places. The Chicken Karaage was also 10/10. Very tender chicken and fried to the perfect crispiness. So glad to have another solid ramen spot in town!

Delicious So FREAKING good! Fast service. Def get the spicy miso or the Creamy tomato. They are to DIE for.

Tasty ramen and reasonable prices. Little hidden but it's basically below the bridge level.

My husband was in the mood for ramen and needed some uplifting of his spirits after a rough day so we decided to waddle on over to Yokohama Skyline! Street parking can be hard in this area sometimes but we found a pretty good spot nearby. Just FYI if you're going at a crowded time! The interior is cute and clean with some charm. You order at the front then sit down and wait for your food. My husband went with the shoyu ramen with chicken whereas I grabbed the vegan miso + added some chili oil to it -- I saw it came with bean curd and couldn't pass up on the opportunity for some deliciousness. Ramen wise, I'd say my dish was pretty tasty! The chili oil was also actually spicy so mission accomplished. The bean curd was tasty, had a fun texture, and a nice protein for a vegan dish! My husband finished his ramen in about 7 minutes so I feel like that says it all l o l Overall, this is more of a self service, no frills type place but the food is definitely good and worth the price as is the service. There are a couple of veggie options but not a plethora so that's my only warning as a leaf eater to other vegetarians/vegans that pop in!

No fuss tasty lunch spot - had the shio ramen with pork (they ask if you want it with pork or chicken) and clean tasting broth with al dente ramen. Partner got the black garlic Tonkatsu ramen and it tasted good as well! The gyozas were crispy and not over-fried, gyoza sauce was oishi We got 2 green tea ice teas, flavor was not diluted. Would def come back if I'm in the area!

We came here for the first time and it's worth stopping by! You order at the door and the food comes to you as they make it. I got the vegan miso with chili oil and the edamame. The miso came with bean curd which is essentially another word for tofu. I loved the seasoned bamboo along with the other toppings that came with it and was a decent portion. My friends ordered the tomato ramen which almost had a pizza scent to it, but they liked it as well. Definitely unique The ambience inside is really nice, well lit up with a beautiful city canva behind where we were sitting (not pictured) The gentlemen serving were so friendly and accommodative. We even got spices at the table since we love our heat and extra bowls to share as well. A welcoming addition to the cultural cuisine in Portland for sure

This place is a hidden gem! Their ramen left such good impression I had to be back in 3 days. Consistently good service and taste. They remembered me, very friendly staff. Fairly spacious and sparkly clean - I love sitting on the stool bar facing outside. The owner had a day off when I came, but came to see me from home when he heard I was there again. What a guy! I'm going to miss this place. There were so much more other dishes I wanted to try! Need to go back home to Los Angeles, but this ramen and other dishes are better in my opinion than what's in LA.

service: 10/10! the kind gentleman working behind the counter was super helpful and courteous! he brought us waters and took away our dishes when there was a sign saying that we were supposed to self serve ourselves. ambiance: the vibes were giving. food: solid ramen, flavorful broth. kaarage was $9.50 for 7 pieces, i like how it was lightly battered and juicy and tender. it made my friends eyes roll back. i got the shoyu ramen with truffle oil! the broth was very flavorful and the egg was the perfect runny consistency. the ramen noodles were bouncy and on the medium to thinner side. for the price, i think this is a pretty solid ramen place!!

Really good food and nice place. I felt the the broths were on the lighter side but I like that style. I got the Shoyu because I always want a more clearer broth. So I was happy with my choice. I like that you have options for your protein, chicken or pork. They have a Japanese curry but it is not katsu. It is the protein mixed with the curry. The service was sooooo sooooo nice come support local and try out the food. I hope they do expand more of their menu because it was delicious

Service was quick. The food was delicious. I like the casual atmosphere. No frills. Just good food.

Stopped in twice the last week exploring the menu. It's a little hidden, on the bottom floor of the Yard, the entry on 3rd, below street level of Burnside. Looks like it's a double space of the first floor retail for the building, with the right side when you walk in having a bar/counter area that would be at home in any small ramen shop or sushi bar. There's a view into the kitchen when you come in, as well as a generous amount of seating. A maneki-neko and a self-service station sign greet you on the way in, and there's a TV with a digital menu on it, and you order toward the right. Atmosphere is a little weird with the gym on the floor above, and depending on who's in the gym. The first time I was in there, there were a lot of thuds and rumbles of weights being dropped, though the second time I was in there, I think I only heard weights being dropped once. My first time in, I really wasn't feeling ramen, so ordered the curry and the gyoza. Nothing fancy about the presentation of the dumplings, but they were exactly how I like them - steamed slightly in a thin shell, and pan fried to give them just the right amount of crispiness. The dipping sauce was a little unusual in that it had a slight amount spice in it, looked like some shichimi. While the dumplings were great, the curry was nothing special. My favorite in town is at Kale, and Kinboshi has a solid curry as well, but the one here seemed a little bland to me. That being said, there was a generous amount of cubed pork, as well as the potatoes, carrots, and onions having fantastic texture - it was just that the curry needed a little something to elevate the flavor profile. I stopped in a second time since I wasn't comfortable leaving a review based on the curry, and I'm glad I did! This time, I ordered the karaage as well as the creamy tomato ramen. Again, very spartan presentation for the karaage, with only a single lemon wedge accompanying them (no aioli). That being said, the chicken was fantastic, with a nice crispy outside and a super moist marinated chicken on the inside. The real standout was the tomato ramen though. A rich broth, with lots of umami, with a well balanced tomato flavor. The thick noodles had a great texture too them, with a nice bouncy spring as well as good mouth feel. The broth was definitely non-traditional, with spinach, corn, grape tomato, some shredded parmesan, and even a dollop of basil pesto, but man, the flavors and textures all worked really well together. The pork chasu was solid - not the incredible, fatty, melt in your mouth, but the 3 medallion-like pieces of pork were tender and flavorful. Definitely worth wandering in here, even if it is a little off the beaten track.

I really enjoyed eating at Yokohama skyline eatery. Located in the yard building, I really liked how their layout of the restaurant is. When you walk through the door, there is sitting to the left and right of you, and they present their menu on a large screen. When I went, it was not busy, however, it got busy when I was about finished with my meal. I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen with Black Garlic Oil. When my order was being taken by the server, he was very kind, sweet, and informative. He provided us with a number, and we picked out a table and waited for our food. The wait time was not long, since it was not busy. The Ramen is extremely good. I really like how the Ramen comes with the noodles and various toppings. The broth is one of the best broths I've had ever. I think next time I would try the Gyoza or a different type of ramen. Definitely a good place to check out if you're interested!

I didn't have a good experience from this restaurant. I tried the miso ramen broth and the taste surprised me a little, however it wasn't too bad. The service was fair and acceptable. Although, the reason this is not a go to restaurant is because of the environment within the restaurant. While I was eating with my friend, I was able to see smoke in the kitchen and out to the customer's desk which I find very unhealthy and very scary. I would suggest the owner or manager trying to solve the ventilation problem to make the restaurant more clean and safe for both customers and employees. Please consider it.

Solid very authentic Japanese noodle shop Tucktaway in the bottom of the building where Knot Springs is located. The noodle dishes are fresh and delicious. And the Gyoza was outstanding!!! B

We stopped here before a concert a couple of days ago. Clean, simple, extremely friendly staff, and INCREDIBLE food. We both got the same ramen, plus edamame, and the tokoyaki. All phenomenal. We will be back next time we are in town.

Absolutely delicious!!! The owner is such a nice guy too!! i got the shoyu ramen if you're in the area get some!

We love ramen and it happens to be near the skate park so we popped in here between lunch and dinner time. A lot of ramen places are closed between meals but not here. Owner was very helpful and kind. We ordered the Tantan and Shio with edamame and 2 iced Calpico. Edamame was cooked perfectly with nice grainy salt. I like how you can add a variety of toppings like truffle oil and bean sprouts. This was my bf's first Calpico and he loved it. Prices are fair. Def recommend for a quick casual meal.

Writing an updated review, because I love it here so much. Entering rainy season, their bowls have so much love and comfort. And they are super hearty and generous. The broth is so well rounded in flavor. It doesn't taste watered down or done quickly; there's always a richness to it that hits the spot. I sadly feel like other broths taste watered down at a lot of the other ramen places in town because they are trying to make at scale, but then lose the roundedness. The small Japanese crew here clearly have real pride in their craft and they definitely take the cake IMO for the best ramen in the city. Also for the people complaining about the location... come on. Seriously? Just because it's "awkward" (because it's in the lower level of the yard building) doesn't mean you should knock a star. It's right next to Knot Springs - don't see anyone complaining about their location.

It was cloudy and drizzly on our last day in Portland, so we looked up ramen spots on Yelp and decided to give this place a try based on the reviews. Really hoping it was an off day because the food left much to be desired. Perhaps I just prefer more コク(koku = depth) when it comes to broth, but both the shoyu and tantan seemed thin on flavor. I believe this is supposed to be Hakata style but 1 day later I still can't figure out what to make of it. The gyoza was okay. My partner got a few bites of gristle and that was a first ever experience with gyoza. I wish it had more nira or garlic, and folded tighter. The restaurant space is huge and sparsely decorated. I was expecting something different from the "Yokohama Skyline" name. Service was good. I overheard the owner(?) speaking to a customer in Japanese for a quite a long while and i learned that this place was newly-opened in this apartment building. I have hope that this shop will improve and succeed, but for this 日本人　(Japanese person), I'll wait a while before revisiting. 頑張って下さ〜い

Best ramen I have had in a long time. We had the shoyu, tantan, and miso, all worthy of finishing every drop. The chashu was tender and flavorful. Everything we ordered was delicious and you could tell made with great care and skill. Service was attentive and gracious. Will be back very soon.

Tasty ramen that isn't too expensive. They could use some spicier dishes in their menu.

A bowl of their tonkatsu ramen hits the spot after a visit to Knot Springs next door. Very good service.

We had the tonkatsu ramen. It was very good. The owner is right there making sure everything is as it should be. He's Japanese. The service and the food is excellent and the price is right on par with or a tad below Portland ramen prices. We enjoyed this Ramen and we will definitely be back. Next time we might try the shoyu ramen.

Delicious ramen with unique offerings compared to other ramen spots in the city. The customer service was top notch. Would come back again!

we were looking for a new ramen place to try in portland we stubbled across this gem. it's a cute little ramen shop in a new constructed apartment building. they offer affordable ramen options. what stood out to me was the exceptional service. the format of this restaurant is where you order at the counter and find a place to sit. self service water station and bussing. the kind gentlemen was super attentive and brought us water and utensils without being asked. he also checked in on us frequently and took our dishes away when we were finished. the food overall was yummy for its price. i would recommend. the karrage pieces were kind of small, but they were lighted batter and was mainly chicken. super juicy and tender. megan really enjoyed her truffle oil ramen. it slayed

Clean, comfortable restaurant with excellent ramen and a few other selections (always a hard decision between the many ramen varieties and the curry). Service is prompt and attentive. The tables and counters are spotless and comfortable. The price is reasonable. My only negative about this place after several visits, is the location and parking. Street parking in the area requires a special decoder ring to determine whether it's free but timed, pass only, or virtual metered.

Great kaarage. Really good ramen too. Very convenient to the Burnside Bridge. Very comforting on cold, rainy days.

Went out here with the wife for an early dinner. Great non-fussy and home style ramen, like something you'd get at a friend's house in Japan. Friendly service and clean environment. We'll be back!

the taste of the food is good The atmosphere in the shop is Japanese style mixed with western style. There are many varieties of ramen and original flavors. Pros: food and atmosphere in the shop. Cons: parking and hard to notice storefront.

Perfect portion!! Great food! Service was great and friendly. It wasn't super busy not too overstimulating lights weren't too bright background music wasn't too loud. I ordered an iced matcha latte which was great. As well as takoyaki & chicken karaage both delicious. I had the shot I ramen with pork, pork was perfectly tender. Noodles were delicious

Tasty ramen, reasonable prices, friendly staff. Definitely my new favorite ramen spot!!

Wow, what hidden gem. Everything was delicious! I only wish my soup was boiling hot. But it was still great! We went on a Friday at 4:30. There was only 1 other table in the restaurant & two gentleman working behind the counter. They were both really friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back to try other menu items!

Great place to grab some ramen. Quality broth with great flavor! Quick and nice service and a very calm ambiance.

The service was great and the food was so delicious. My sister and I hit this place after a con and it was so rejuvenating having matcha and ramen.

I was very impressed, very clean restaurant , friendly staff. The food is prepared by a Japanese chef. It tastes like eating real ramen in Japan. I recommend this restaurant. You won't be disappointed!

Hidden gem for sure. I know there's like 5 ramen restaurants in the area but give this spot a try. Friendly service, clean, nicely lit space and legit ramen made by pros! The miso (with pork or chicken) is warming & great. Pro tip: add chili oil.

Very hospitable with very tasty seaweed salad, gyoza and ramen. Clean, solid food. Attentive service. We will go back.

The ramen was really tasty! The workers were so attentive and patient with my friends and I.

Thinner broth than the typical ramen experience in Portland, variety is a good thing. Very nice owner.

Tonkotsu Ramen, delicious broth, good chewy noodles. Served with stewed pork, very delicious. Chicken Karaage, crispy chicken, just right, very delicious. Ice Green Tea I like green tea, it tastes great. drink and feel refreshed Sorry if you confused, I use google translate

service was so nice and fast and the food was delicious. i don't usually go out to eat for ramen but i would come here again if i was in the mood. :)

I ordered a ramen, and it was very average. Half a boiled egg and pork were served cold in the microwaved hot broth. You can find better options a couple of blocks away.

I've ordered for delivery here a few times and it's always been delicious! This time we went in person for the first time and everyone working there were all so nice and attentive, and the food was perfect, definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Portland! I'm shocked they weren't busier on a Friday night tbh, they definitely deserve to be. Also the hot hojicha latte along side the ramen is so good and cozy! highly recommend.

Good food, a very clean restaurant, and friendly staff at Yokohama Skyline Eatery at the Yard Apartments building near the Burnside Bridge. If you love authentic ramen, this is the place. Try the handmade gyozas. They are super delicious, and if you like spicy flavor, I highly recommend Tan Tan ramen; you won't disappointed. I love this place.

Great ramen, laid back spot at a decent price. Recommend to my Japanese friends who all approved.

Delicious & amazing service every time! Highly recommend. My favorites are the matcha latte and miso ramen- can't go wrong!
