Boke Bowl

Fastest service I've had in Portland. My drink was ready before I even finished paying at the register. Burgers came out in only about five or seven minutes at most, hot and fresh. Would love to eat there again sometime.

Food was so good! Maybe a little bit salty but still very tasty! Super friendly staff!

I don’t care what people say, I know their ramen may not be super “authentic,” but holy cow is it delicious. Their caramelized fennel ramen is one of my most favorite ramens ANYWHERE. It is so tasty and full of so many delicious seasonal veggies, and I eat it pretty darn frequently. I like it so much that I still haven’t been able to order anything else there, although I hear good things about their other items. I highly recommend it!

Today was my second visit to Boke Bowl, for Portland Mercury's Wing Week 2021, with the previous visit also being for a Wing Week (in 2018). This year's Boke Wings (pictured) are Star-Anise brined, medium-to-very spicy wings are heavily coated in a mixture of Hot Boke and Thai Chili Wing Sauces, and topped with sesame seeds. The heat from these wings definitely persists. They were very saucy, and the sauce itself was like a thick, very spicy catsup (red jalapenos and Thai green chiles). Notably, I would say that their chicken meat, itself, was one of the most flavorful, of the now 14 Wing Week entries that I have sampled, this year. The other stop with notably flavorful chicken meat was also brined and smoked - so, it really seems like that may be a great route to go, for chicken, if it's within a venue's capabilities. The sesame seeds were pretty, and added a subtle textural element, which I enjoyed, and the service was good; friendly, prompt, and accommodating.
