Please join us to celebrate this milestone as we turn “10”! We’ve missed seeing all of your (masked) faces…. We are giving our staff this week OFF through Thanksgiving, and we will be open starting Black Friday to kick off our anniversary weekend.
Its been a wild ride, especially this last two years of unprecedented restaurant closures and uncertainty. This Thanksgiving season, we wanted to take the time to thank our loyal customers for continuing to support us. We are humbled by how much you all still love Boke!
We get a lot of questions about our West side location at NW 18th & Northrup, and we wanted to officially announce that we’ve moved on from that space. We are instead solely operating our flagship SE Water Ave location, as it continues to thrive after 10 years. Things look a little different after a decade, as we are only open Wednesday through Sunday. We’ve added many new items, but don’t worry, you’ll always know where to find fried chicken steam buns and brussels sprouts salad when you get a hankering.
Thanks Portland, we couldn’t have done this without you. Here’s to the next 10 years.
