FuddoYama Ramen Teriyaki & Izakaya — Restaurant in Beaverton

Great quality, convenient location. I'd been going downtown for ramen until I discovered this place. My car GPS for some reason thought it was about half a mile down the road so I arrived frustrated but the owner was cheerful and patient nevertheless.

The noodles are not the absolute best I've had, but I would rank them highly for a little hole in the wall like this. Higher than, say, Noraneko Ramen down near OMSI, which disappointed me somewhat with their thin, dense noodles. If I continue to go there it will be mainly for the atmosphere.

Thick, elastic, medium density and a pleasant glutenous flavor characterize Fuddoyama's noodles, very comparable to Kayo's Ramen Bar which makes a much bigger deal of it's noodles than perhaps is warranted (though their noodles are indeed excellent, and their spicy broths are astonishing). The lean pork was just slightly crispy and very flavorful, no gristle or other mouthfeel issues.

The broth is the star of the show. Sits heavily in the stomach, not too oily, just the right thickness. I feel a really good broth can bring a man back from the brink of death. There's not a single thing wrong with any of the ingredients but none of them jump out at you as the broth does, I'd come here just for a thermos of broth if they offered it.

I would still give Kayo slightly higher marks, but am pleasantly surprised to find such an unexpectedly competent ramen bar with a product that punches well above the weight level you'd expect for someplace adjacent to a grocery outlet. Then again it's the little places like this that often surprise you, isn't it.

I'm pleased as punch that I don't have to go downtown for good ramen anymore. Fuddoyama can expect my routine business going forward. Prices are slightly high imo but if you want to pinch pennies, go buy some cup noodles. Well made ramen with fresh ingredients is inherently uneconomical and...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Fuddoyama, a Japanese ramen restaurant that transcends the ordinary dining experience. From the moment I stepped through the door, I felt transported back to 1980's Japan, with an ambiance that perfectly captured the essence of that era.

The star of the show, undoubtedly, was the ramen. Each bowl was a masterpiece of authentic flavors, reminding me of the delicious bowls I enjoyed during my time in Japan. The broth was rich and savory, the noodles perfectly cooked, and the toppings added just the right balance of textures and tastes. Fuddoyama truly excels in delivering a genuine and mouthwatering ramen experience.

What sets Fuddoyama apart, however, is not just the exceptional food but also the immersive atmosphere. The interior design flawlessly recreates the vibe of 1980's Japan, with subtle details that transport you to another time. The dim, warm lighting and nostalgic decor made it feel like a cozy corner in Tokyo, making me reminisce about the moments spent in ramen joints in the heart of Japan.

The attentive and professional servers further enhanced the dining experience. Their knowledge of the menu and willingness to assist with recommendations showcased a commitment to customer satisfaction. It felt like a seamless blend of traditional Japanese hospitality and modern professionalism.

In a world of cookie-cutter restaurants, Fuddoyama stands out with its unique vibe and dedication to authenticity. Whether you're a ramen enthusiast or someone looking for a distinctive dining experience, Fuddoyama is a must-visit. It's not just a meal; it's a journey to 1980's Japan, where every bowl of ramen tells a story of tradition, flavor,...

It hurts me to give them an average star review because there is definitely some underlying talent in the kitchen. We will start with the amazing. The Japanese curry rice is probably one of the best I've ever tried in Oregon as well as the chicken karage is extremely light battered and crispy. Really a wow factor. Had this been the only dish I tried, I would have given them a 5 star review because the service is very good as well. Now for the bad. The ramen was presented and it looked absolutely amazing. I was very very excited. And then I sipped the broth. The broth is really lacking flavor. Both the tonkotsu and the shoyu which I had on 2 separate occasions were both missing several umami flavors.. It was actually very disappointing and I sipped very little of the broth. The noodles were OK and the toppings were excellent. I am being critical because I eat a lot of ramen in the Beaverton Hillsboro and Portland area. The chashu here is one of the worst I've had. Sous vide is not the proper way of making Japanese chashu. It totally lacks flavor cooking it in this method. Also your portion ratio to price is another critical for me. The one slice of very thin chasu was humorous. By the time you add the ingredients that any other ramen place would put on their ramen along with a similar portion size of other ramen places, I will be spending close to $18 for your bowl of ramen. That's not out of the question, but your broth and chashu are very inferior to at least 8 of the top Ramen places...
