Ramen Ciro SW3rd Av. — Restaurant in Portland

For the price the quality isn't very good. with tip and no other adds youre looking at almost 10$. For this you get two very small slices of pork belly (less than 4oz for sure). The meat is browned with a torch on one side to serve and each slice is at least 80% fat, not much edible meat at all. the fat is soft but gross without the hard sear on both sides. the broth and toppings are very good and it is probably better overall with the egg option and not the pork. i would try it again but it's worth noting that your portion is small for this price. generally i would pay $5-8 total for this total. the adds are very expensive and without it the base meal is a little lacking. the signage at the cart itself isn't great either and hard to read...

Edit: A year later and this place has really turned itself around. They've started using fresh noodles, the broth is now complex and delicious, and their prices are no longer ridiculous in the Portland cart scene. I'm not sure you can get a better ramen with the same convenience for under $10.

I am actually shocked that I just paid $9 for what seems like dressed up instant ramen (plus a $0.50 fee to use my card). All that was in the bowl were noodles, a couple slices of pork, and an egg (that I paid an extra dollar for). The broth was basically salt with little else going on. The staff were very friendly and kind, which is the only reason I am giving this 2 stars. I would pay $4 at most...

Honestly, we had pretty low expectations given it was 10:30pm on a saturday night in the middle of summer, but DAMN! This really hit the spot! We got the miso and kara-miso (spicy).Very rich and flavourful broth. Vegetables could have been cooked a bit to soften up but overall, very lovely ramen in a bind. It doesn't quite replace an official ramen joint, but it's...
