Well, I heard there was a ramen spot opening today in Bend at 11:00am. I got there around 11:05am and was their 4th customer :). So, first off, I am somewhat of an avid ramen enthusiast having eaten at ~10 different ramen shops in the Portland area and ~15 different ramen shops in the greater Seattle area. By no means am I an expert, but I love it and think I have a solid take on what good ramen is. First picture shown is the Tonkotsu ramen. The broth was incredible - rich and homemade. It's served with chashu pork, nori, pickled burdock root, bamboo shoots, soft egg, and scallion. They told me that they import, daily, hand-made noodles from a ramen shop in Portland. The egg was beyond perfect, falling apart when gently poked and melting into the dish. The second picture shown is the Spicy Miso ramen. Red miso, chili oil, chashu pork, togarashi cured pork belly, spicy minced pork, wilted bean sprouts, and scallion. My girlfriend said it was amazing. I was too focused on everything I ordered to explore further. Third picture shown is the Compressed Watermelon & Crispy Pork Belly Salad served with shiso, cashew, and shishito pepper vinaigrette. Despite their menu, I believe it also had pickled japanese radish chunks which are the translucent cubes with the tinge of red color. This was hands down one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. It's meant to be eaten in single bites like sushi almost. The watermelon is cut and then compressed with lime and mint infusing those flavors into the crispy bites of fruit. The pork belly was crispy on the outside and melted in my mouth on the inside. Crispy yet soft. It was absolutely incredible. The best summertime treat I've had. I'm still thinking about how good it was. The 4th and 5th pictures are their Chicken Katsu and Tempura Mushroom Steamed Buns respectively. Delicious! I preferred the mushroom one, but that's not meant to take away from the chicken katsu. The chicken was cooked perfectly, juicy, and tender lightly breaded and served with pickled veggies and some interesting sauce inside. Tempura mushroom cannot be described - only tasted. It's insane.

Bend and Ramen...? Who would have thought. I have been to Japan many times and I have to say this place is great and is a strong competitor to the real deal. Were in the U.S. so its a bit more expensive - somehow Americans have figured out how to make Asian street foods trendy - but honestly, take my money. We had the Spicy Tare Wings to start - amazing flavor with the right amount of spice. Could have ordered these alone for the entire meal. No photo - they lasted on the table only 10-15 seconds... Next we had the steamed bun's - one Mushroom and one Pork Belly. These were also gone in about 10 seconds and were super tasty / tender. From there I had the Spicy Miso Ramen - Amazing flavor with the right amount of spice, noodles had a great texture. I was caught off guard how good it was considering the night before I had frozen Sashimi at another place in Bend... Some friendly feedback on this dish from my point of view, a bit too much oil on the top of the broth (not that it was excessive), the pork belly was a bit overcooked (funny because the pork in the steamed bun was PERFECT), and to be honest the thing I was least impressed by - there should be an egg in each bowl. (that's my bad though because it clearly states on the menu that an egg is not included, and it is something you can add) My lady friend had the Vegan Ramen - I think this is essentially why we came. She loved it and we will be coming back soon - according to her, perhaps tomorrow. To drink, a coke, and a cloudy Sake. Sake had great flavor at a great price. Its really to see diverse food's coning to life in Bend. I will gladly spend my money here anytime.

“…sometimes what heart know, head forget.” Mr. Miyagi Sometimes my mind can forget how much I love ramen, so thankfully “Miyagi Ramen” provided the words that my heart needed to help my mind recall how much I love ramen. You know that you’re in the right place when the smell you experience while ordering transports you to a place of bliss long before your meal arrives. The anticipation is seriously powerful! While you should absolutely come here primarily for the ramen, please don’t overlook the salad options. The “Cabbage Salad” featured a great combo of flavors accentuated masterfully by the wasabi almonds. When it comes to your ramen choices there are 4 primary options, but the staff was super flexible about permitting sub in/sub out alternatives, so customizing your order feels effortless. For this reason, and also because of the formal menu options, your Vegan pathways are numerous. I sampled the Spicy Miso Ramen and they exaggerated about the “spicy” designation in no manner. Spicy when it’s on your tongue is one thing, but still spicy by the time it hits the back of your throat is next gen hotness. 🥵 Seriously, you’ll need a napkin for your mouth and some facial tissues for your runny nose! While each of us sampled a different ramen, one of our Review Team Members summed up the universality of ramen greatness perfectly when she stated, “Ramen just warms your soul.” 🎤 ⬇️ And that’s…Henry’s Take. #bendramen #ramenjustwarmsyoursoul

Ramen means that the temperature should always be hot even if it's hot or cold. In addition, restaurant food should always have a constant temperature and taste, but I wonder why this place is evaluated as a generous score. No matter how much the taste is localized, there are things that must be kept. First of all, the noodles are used by receiving the existing products, and even the noodles were not boiled at the proper temperature, so the noodles were sticky, the front quarter remained, and the pork should be crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The temperature in the country was not hot and it was too salty. Once again, the fact that this kind of soup dish is salty is to increase the scent of sodium intake by a huge amount. Because it uses a lot of soy sauce with concentrated salt. It's said that the price was too expensive, and it's not a place to get so many stars, but I just felt bitter when I saw the review that it was good without knowing it. I don't recommend this place. Because it's not something that's going to happen. The noodles of ramen are different from udon noodles, so you must take out the starch oil. The cooking time is long and the temperature is gradually dropping because you have to boil a lot of noodles, and anyway, it was a restaurant that made me think that I shouldn't use the name Miyagi like this.

Food was a 4.5 out of 5. Only reason it wasn’t perfect is one dish we got was soggy and cold. I’ve read a couple other reviews with basically that complaint as the only negative. Ramen was by far the best I had ever had. The crispy chicken was amazing too. Service: they add a “3% Health & Wellness” charge to every bill. Is it alarming to anyone else that the customer is responsible for the employee’s health and wellness? To add to this, you order up front, grab your own utensils and water, and seat yourself. The only service here is someone brings you the food. Also, at the beginning when you buy your food, the gratuity box pops up and they give you an auto populated option of 25%, 20% and 15% (or custom). Why on earth would a practically self-serve restaurant have 25% or 20%, on top of a 3% ‘Health and Wellness’ that goes toward whatever that means? I’d totally pay 28% gratuity if the restaurants employees earned it. Atmosphere: Super cool looking, in and out. A little tight on seating, but it wasn’t an issue for the time of day we were there. The music though, LOUD! I had never done this before, but it was so loud I looked on my watch at the decibels. 82! I looked online and saw 80 is the equivalent to an alarm. Lol. Expect to speak loudly with your friends when you’re here.

Wow… I can’t believe how tasteless this was. I can’t decide what was worse, pieces of pork fat (there was no meat on the pork), the tasteless watery oily broth, the noodles that were like top ramen noodles and kind of gross, or the egg that literally fell apart it was so watery and underdone that I was left with just a yolk on my spoon. Or the scallions that were long strings. I came very hungry, so most of the time that would maybe lead me to rate something more high yet this ramen was so off putting and terrible I couldn’t eat it. I really tried since I was hungry and it was $20, but now I feel sick. I think trader joes probably does a better ramen. Secondly, the atmosphere was trying hard to be hipster and trendy yet missed the mark. It was cold inside and was blaring rap music. The staff were unfriendly and uncaring. Also a side note of something that bothered me was the fact that everyone preparing food (including salads) didn’t have gloves on and were on their phones in between adding ingredients. Very off putting, if I wasn’t having something hot I would’ve been very concerned. I would not recommend, if you crave ramen, go elsewhere. I’m so sad that someone could mess up ramen so badly. I now feel sick and I am still slightly hungry since I didn’t eat!
