Hapa PDX

Went to check out this ramen spot and it is definitely a spot to go to when the weather becomes really cold and you need something that helps you become cozy! I recommend try looking at the menu ahead of time since you need to order first before getting seated. They have a simple food menu but delicious in all the right ways, and cocktail menu is also a nice selection. Tried the Chicken Karraage Curry Bowl and the G Ramen both great! Curry is nicely cooked and flavorful with its spices and chicken is super tender. The ramen hit the spot to keep me warm but very savory and soft meat and just the right amount of everything. If you do like sweet cocktails, their mai tai is the perfect drink! Place is a perfect spot to hangout with friends or a date idea. Very simple but delicious.

I am sitting at the bar of this place right now. I was told they would be right with me. I watch them help walk-in customers one after another. Finally they ask how they might be able to help me. I order a cocktail. And a menu. Evidently I was supposed to have known those were on the counter a few feet away from where I am sitting. I pay for the cocktail with cash, because I am unusually cash flush at the moment. I say I am wanting to place an order to go. I really want to order food to go for my family. But. They are so busy chatting with each other they seemingly forget I wanted to order food. I overhear many convos that would be better said behind doors or in the back room. No one returns to see what I want to order to go. Noone will make eye contact even though I am sitting right in front of them. I know I could have ordered Uber eats or some other delivery service but I chose to come to this spot in my neighborhood, Have a drink while they make the food and then take it home to the hungry family. I am done with my cocktail and am leaving to seek a different place for food.

I was so happy when this business opened in my neighbourhood.I used to frequently visit them as a food cart.Now they've been here for while, so this review is long overdue....The Ramen is incredible.Their drinks are solid.And their appetisers are always enjoyable.The best part about it, for me, is the gluten-free options!!!!!Thank you so much for having a gluten-free noodle and absolutely delicious Ramen that I can enjoy.The atmosphere is fantastic too.

I've been to Hapa Ramen a few times because it's in the same general area that I live in Southeast Portland. I like that it's also a whisky bar so makes it fun to have cocktails when dropping in for ramen for dinner. They also have poke bowls but I've never gotten them, but I like that it's an option for a bit of that Hawaiian vibe. Overall the ramen broth and noodles are great. I recently tried the Hokkaido Miso ramen and it was milky and tasty, and the noodles are crinkly and chewy. I thought the thinly sliced cha shu, though, could be more tender. I think the go-to ramen is definitely their G-special, which gives a bit more variety of toppings. It's a great neighborhood spot for ramen with friendly and quick service.

Got take out from here and the flavors were very good! Also got a yummy hapa iced tea that was tasty and not too sweet. The fried chicken curry was delicious but the Hokkaido miso ramen was unfortunately flavorless. Super bland broth but the meat was good. Not sure if something just got missed when I got take out but would try this place again!

Fun, friendly, and fabulous food! My husband and I stopped in here for dinner and didn't know exactly what to expect. We were delighted! It was very busy, but the server took our order quickly and got us seated. You order at the counter and then they bring the food and drinks to you. For drinks, my husband got the Sake Lime, which was brisk sweet, and got the Manhattan, which was the perfect balance of smoky and sweet. Our entrees were the G-Special Ramen and the Shoyu and they were both fantastic. The G-Special has a rich, umami flavor with just a little heat and the Shoyu was rich and flavorful. The staff were friendly and the space, while small, was comfortable and easy to have a conversation in. A great experience and definitely worth a trip to the neighborhood to check it out.

Visiting Hapa PDX was an unforgettable culinary delight! The ambiance was inviting. The service was top-notch. However, the star of the show was undoubtedly the G-Special Ramen with its rich, flavorful pork belly broth. It was a barrage of savory flavorness. The pork belly slices melted in my mouth with each bite. Whatever the mushrooms were marinared in was devine. It was a bowl of pure bliss! I couldn't even leave the broth, saving for a later cup to sip on.The sake beer to accompany the meal helped it reach new heights of satisfaction. I can't wait to go back for another unforgettable dining experience!Food = OMGService = FatasticoAmbiance = Authentic

This was my first stop once it was safe enough to venture out from the ice storm we had and it was the best idea. It was packed and there a small wait (10mins) so it wasn't bad at all. We ordered at the counter and took our seats when our table was ready. We sat at the bar counter which was a cozy setting. I got the whiskey sour and the tonkotsu ramen which warmed me up real quick. The broth was salted well enough and it was flavorful without being overly powering. The pork belly was cooked and crisped to perfection. A great choice on a cold and icy night!

I would always pass by this ramen shop and be intrigued by the "ramen, poke, and whiskey" written in large letters on the window. Although it seems small and not very busy, I was fairly surprised dining in. Walking in, just before dinner rush, it was quiet, small, and had few people. However, within 30 minutes to an hour, the place became packed and there was no seating (it was a surprise there was no line for a wait). The inside was intimate and dim lighting, but had plenty of seating. Service here was fairly quick and so kind.My friend and I both had curry dishes, taro chips, and pork belly. Although all of the dishes came in HUGE portions and were delicious, my favorite was the taro chips and poke. I've never eaten poke in such a way and the use of taro chips was amazing. There was so much flavor and the poke was so fresh. I would love to come back here another time just for the chips and poke. Definitely recommend.

DE-LICIOUS!! Ordered them to-go and the food was fresh and delicious when it arrived! Perfectly packaged with care too! I will say the Ahi poke was spicy for anyone that is not a spicy fan that may be a deterrent, but I LOVE spice and thought it was perfect! The G-special Ramen is very pork-centric but also fabulously flavored! Their pork belly is DEVINE! Perfectly juicy and crispy all at the same time. And it was VERY reasonably priced! I saved them as a favorite in my food delivery app, because I WILL be back! Only bummer is that they aren't open later. But this is an absolute MUST TRY ramen experience!!
