Ramen Ciro

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 close enough.

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 for what I got.
