Best ramen I've ever had (black Tonkatsu) but it took forever! I was there for lunch and it was busy but not "30 minute wait for ramen" busy...

Hidden behind all the construction, this is a pretty good ramen / noodle house. It has a somewhat unique ordering process, where you order up from QSR style, then they seat you. The Black Tonkotsu was great with the smoked pork belly and black garlic oil - maybe a little overboard with the fried crispy garlic on top. You can get single bao buns too, and the duck bao was crushed. The inside is pretty basic and quiet, but is a good option when down town for lunch.

They have a big sign hanging by the door for being named Best Ramen in Denver, so that pretty much made my decision on what to get. The black tonkatsu was delicious: great noodles, wildly flavorful broth, tasty meat, and nice mushrooms. Filling and warming bowl on a chilly evening.I had a bite of the bao, it was a tasty little snack, though I don't think I've ever had one before to compare it to. The warm sake was a tasty balance and kept the warm theme going.I like the sort of fast casual setup even if the order total seems more like full service, it's a good flow and speed.

Came again for another bowl of ramen, this time got the black Tonkotsu - Cherrywood smoked pork belly, black garlic oil, fried shallot, spicy sprouts, cloud ear mushroom, scallion, tonkotsu broth. It was flavorful and definitely garlic/umami forward. The crispy shallots were delightful. I've had two bowls at this place now and the noodles are definitely on the al dente side. Nice spot for a relatively quick lunch (order and pay at the counter and they bring food out within a few minutes).

I finally ordered takeout ramen from here last week, after walking by this place for months. The online ordering is pretty easy, I ordered the Black Tonkotsu, and added in a soft egg. The order was ready ahead of the time that they quoted me (5 min early), and the woman that packaged up my order and handed it to me was super friendly. Onto the ramen - it was ok - with generous portions of cherrywood smoked pork belly and noodles. It also had black garlic oil, fried shallots, spicy sprouts, mushrooms and scallions. The tonkotsu broth was a bit on salty side, and wasn't as dynamic/flavorful as I was expecting. Overall, it was good, but not a standout by any means. I'm glad that I finally tried it, but not sure that I'll be back.

2.5/5 I ordered the lobster roll bao ($8) and spicy tuna poké ($12) for dine-in. You order at the counter and then they bring the food to you at your table. The food was ready very quickly.The lobster roll bao was a splurge for me and I was beyond excited to try it; unfortunately, while the bun itself was good and the lobster had nice flavor, the meat was pretty chewy. 3.5/5The spicy tuna poké was a big miss for me. The tuna was beyond salty and the bowl had way too much aioli for my liking. Between the saltiness and the mayo-heavy flavor, I found this difficult to eat. After an internal debate of whether or not to say anything, I decided to let my server know, and no part of the situation was remedied. I only ate a few bites of the bowl before deciding to quit while I was ahead. 1.5/5I value supporting small businesses, but for $24+ after the included 15% tip, I found myself wishing I went to a chain instead for half the price, where I could have enjoyed what I paid for. Given the awesome reviews, I am hoping I just hit Dragonfly Noodle on a bad day and/or ordered poorly, but I don't see myself coming back.

This unfortunately was very disappointing. Bao buns were overcooked and flat. Noodles were not cooked enough and everything was bland. The chicken had a layer of slime that completely grossed me out.
