Dave’s is going to have to step it up to successfully compete with them. It’s worth noting that they are opening up in a location that is fairly close to Basilisk at the Zipper building, home of truly epic fried chicken sandwiches. It’s going to be good to have a solid tenant in there rather than a boarded up building, especially after some tragic things that happened a decade ago when it was a Wendy’s.ĭave’s Hot Chicken has a small, straightforward menu (kind of reminiscent of In N Out’s) with chicken available at varying spice levels, sides, and combo meals. I was over by the Les Schwab recently getting my flat tire fixed (no, it wasn’t part of that tire slashing mess in Roseway), and snapped the photo above.ĭave’s looks like it’s opening soon and they’ve done a lot of work in there, from electrical and plumbing, interior work, new bathrooms (the old ones needed an exorcism, frankly), and exterior work like moving some entrances around and re-striping the parking lot.

In the essential bowls listed below, you’ll find bouncy noodles swimming in luxurious, silky broth, garnished with briny seaweed, tender pork belly, pink-swirled fish cakes, and perfectly soft boiled and jammy ajitama eggs. The city’s soft water, drawn from the Bull Run Watershed, forms the blank canvas for local ramen chefs to create wonderfully complex shoyus, shios, tonkotsus, and so on, while the local weather is especially soup-friendly for six months or more each year. Portland, itself already home to a sizeable number of Japanese restaurants, now has an ever-expanding array of ramen shops, adding to the already extensive selection of noodle soups available here. Though this bountiful, steaming bowl of Japanese comfort food can be traced back to the first ramen shop in 1910, it’s currently seeing remarkable growth all over the US, as ramen shops (called ramen-yas) continue to sprout up nationwide.
