NW District’s ramen game has just leveled up with the stupid delicious bowls at Baka Umai Ramen Den. First night of soft opening tonight, but you can tell that they are already pro’s from their other location on SE Hawthorne. Warm greeting, great sake recommendation, and most importantly, awesome ramen. 🍜 🤩 3 things that set Baka Umai Ramen Den apart from the many other great bowls of ramen in Portland: 1. Multiple veggie options. TanTan, Shoyu, Miso, and more. 2. Traditional brothy ramen plus mazemen (brothless ramen), and tsukemen (dipping noodles) - and veggie versions of each. 3. Spice Lover’s Menu. You know it’s going to get interesting when Hatch and MaLa are on the tame end of things. Are you brave enough to try Reaper Ramen? ☠️ (I am 100% not 😹, personally) I had the Miso Ra

Great little Ramen den. Assortment of whole food broths and toppings for every preference. Ota tofu even! Had Shoyu poultry broth, well balanced. Assorted house made condiments. Noodles fresh. Menu has loads of non ramen bites too.

Really excited about this addition to the neighborhood! My ramen was super flavorful and the noodles had a great texture. Owner was super nice. So many of the menu options looked delicious. I’m excited to come back and try more!

Tonkotsu Black Ramen is amazing. House made noodle, Chashu & Ajitama is on point.
