Pai Men Miyake opened in September, 2010 as Masa Miyake’s second restaurant in Portland. Meaning “100 noodles” in Japanese, the focus is on ramen with broths rich in pork, chicken, & vegetables. On the warmer days of summer there is also a myriad of more refreshing options such as sashimi soba & a variety of sushi rolls.  Although a more casual affair, the food shows the same quality and creative characteristics as the acclaimed dishes from the original Food Factory Miyake.
After 5:30pm daily Pai Men boasts a Yakitori Grill fueled by traditional Japanese binchotan charcoal. A variety of skewers are offered, allowing Pai Men to showcase & utilize both animals from Miyake Farms & seafood from the coast of Maine.  With a large sake list, a full bar, and the option of outdoor seating during the summer months, Pai Men is an ideal place to spend a night out on the town.
Enjoy Pai Men's tei-shoku lunch special served monday - friday from 12pm - 2:30pm.
Come celebrate happy hour daily from 4pm- 5:30pm & from 9:30pm - midnight (no late night happy hour on Sunday with a 9pm close.)
