"This place is one of my go tos in the neighborhood. There's a great menu selection and they're always quick. I've ordered from here about a dozen times and they've yet to mess up my order (knock on wood) which I think is hard to say about most restaurants! Big fan of their crispy egg rolls, pho and wonton soup. The portion sizes are great, especially for the price. The staff is always so friendly and really cares about your experience. Highly recommend checking this place out!"

Nosu Ramen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (150) • $$

"I've been waiting for last nights visit. It's such a pleasure dining @nosuramen. Always! With the very capable hands of Mason in the kitchen and the staff like Ashley you will have a very pleasant experience. Everything was excellent but the new find and favorite of the night was the Sesame Braised Cabbage. Its Charred cabbage, chili crisp, lotus chip and some magic done right! The flavor was incredible! The heat perfect. Nothing too silly to make someone like me avoid it. I've never eaten cabbage prepared like this one. Genius! The Tangerine-Sake Sangria was new to me. Refreshing. Love it! I also love their Pork SoupnDumplings. The soup did it for me! The Agedashi Tofu was surprisingly very tasty! This is not the boring tofu you've been avoiding. The Tataki Tuna could be a meal in itself and was a head-turner! But if you came for the ramen by all means. Their Pork Belly Ramen featured here is loaded with big pieces of delicious tender pork. My preferred white meat! Don't forget their mochi for dessert and their very delicious cocktails!Featured:TANGERINE-SAKE SANGRIAwhite wine / curacao / citrusSHISO SOUTH SIDEgin / cucumber / limePAPER PLANEwhiskey / aperol / amaro / lemonSHRIMP BAO BUNSbang bang sauce / cucumber / red cabbagePORK SOUP DUMPLINGS sesame black vinegar CHICKEN SHUMAI scallion / wasabi mayoSESAME BRAISED CABBAGE charred cabbage / chili crisp / lotus chipAGEDASHI TOFUdashi / daikon / bonito flakesPORK BELLY RAMEN bok choy / pickled beech mushroom / corn / poached egg / chili oilTATAKI sesame crusted tuna / greens / bean sprouts / green beans / watermelon / ponzuMOCHI ICE CREAM"

Neko Ramen & Rice

★★★★★ 4.5 (127) • $$

"Neko ramen was an extremely pleasant find after landing late on a breezy Denver night. After looking over the board to order, I opted for the miso ramen and the bf went with the butter corn ramen. We also added brussel sprouts for health.The sprouts came out first and I really enjoyed the fact that they were actually crispy! More than that, the sweet soy citrus sauce was really tasty! The threads of saffron were also a nice touch!When it came to my ramen, I enjoyed the chicken based broth a lot! It was very flavorful, almost velvety. I really liked that it was also not too salty. The pork slices were super tender and the poached egg was a nice touch. While it didn't include some more traditional toppings like woodear or bamboo, I did appreciate the crunch from the marinated bean sprouts and the umami from the fried shallots. The noodles also looked handmade and had a good chew to them.We did redeem the Yelp offer for a melon ramune and it was definitely a shot of nostalgia! Tasty meal overall!"

Uncle

★★★★☆ 4.1 (1533) • $$

"Classic! I feel like the line at Uncle has gotten shorter as the years go on, since they still don't take reservations. I've walked in for dinner on random weeknights, and I've been able to get a table or sit at the bar right away. As always in this neighborhood, come early if you're meeting others to carve out time for street parking.Usually I get the Veggie Khao Soi with side of fried tofu, but most recently this summer, I wanted to try something cold - the Hiyashi Mazemen. Sooo good and refreshing! They have a special where my partner and I could get ramen and a bottle of sake at a discounted rate. Service is great, and I love observing the chefs work their magic."

Corner Ramen & Poke

★★★★☆ 4.1 (274) • $$

"Corner Ramem is a cozy and trendy eatery located in Denver that offers Japanese cuisine. The restaurant boasts a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, which perfectly complements their delicious menu items.One of their most popular dishes is the yaki udon, which is a stir-fried noodle dish. The yaki udon is packed with flavor and features a variety of fresh vegetables and protein options, such as chicken or tofu.

The poke bowl is a fresh and healthy option, with a variety of colorful ingredients like raw salmon or tuna, avocado, edamame, and seaweed. The quality and freshness of the ingredients come together in a perfect balance."

Menya Noodle Bar

"Had a lovely takeaway from here when on a recent trip to Denver. I arrived for a late lunch and was giving the happy hour specials menu, which worked out perfectly. I had the edamame (warm, huge portion) and the tuna poke bowl. The poke bowl had so many toppings, it was delicious. The tuna seemed fairly fresh. The lady serving me was lovely! There was a weird smell in the restaurant, hence the star down."

Poke Club

★★★★★ 4.5 (159) • $$

"This place was great in the city center! I came and it was pretty sparse. They have a lot of options and I took full advantage of the toppings. He gave pretty standard portions for protein and was willing to double toppings for me when I asked! My bowl was delicious and hit the spot, I was pretty full after! Definitely would return again if I'm ever in the area. Price was around $15 before tax for 2 protein bowl."

Oishii Ramen

★★★★☆ 3.9 (52) • $$

"Came here a couple weeks ago. A friend was in town and happened upon Oishii Ramen while staying at a nearby hotel. We were trying to figure out a low-key place to grab a bite that wouldn't be overrun by convention goers and would also be satisfying on a cold winter night. This fit the bill.The dining area is intimate, probably can fit about 14 people around the horseshoe shaped countertop. When we arrived there were a couple other people seated. As we were finishing up though, a large group arrived and occupied most of the remaining seats. Food is served quickly however, so I anticipate even if the seats are full there wouldn't be too long a wait.I ordered the Green Vegetable Ramen with tofu, and my friend got the Black Tonkotsu Ramen with pork belly. The noodles were plentiful and the broth was fortunately not overly salty. I could have used one extra portion of tofu, but otherwise the veggie portions were appropriate. My friend's pork belly was good well and she very much enjoyed the garlic oil addition. We had a lot of catching up to do, and the server was kind enough not to rush us out, though we were mindful not to hog space if any new customers arrived. I can't say I'd go out of my way to go back, however if staying or working in the area, it's certainly worth a stop."

Osaka Ramen

★★★★☆ 3.7 (556)

"Phenomenal ramen!Everything from the broth, to the ingredients, to the egg was very authentic. Our waiter was exceptionally friendly and very knowledgeable of the establishment. The seating arrangement was comfortable and modern. Definitely great for a hot date, or quiet evening with a friend. Cannot wait to visit again."

Sera's Ramen Enclave

★★★★☆ 4.3 (413) • $$

"For another year in a row, Sera's Ramen Enclave continues to be my favorite ramen spot in Denver! I've loved every dish I've tried and finally had a chance to dine indoors, though the outdoor patio is adorable too. The Demon Slayer décor and manga wall remain classic, and service is super welcoming. Got that family-run feeling, though I'm not sure if it IS family-run. Make sure to get the Iku Yaki (squid) and side of spice. And get here early to find parking because this street gets crazy!"

Ajinoya Ramen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (377) • $$

"This place has wide selection of ramen. It was kinda hard to decide so I stuck with my normal Shoyu. It was very tasty and just what I needed on a cold winter day. I also ordered edimame which was good but nothing out of the ordinary. Service was good and prices were good considering it was a huge bowl. You can actually make it 2 meals if you're not that hungry to finish it in one sitting. Good ramen if you're in the area!"

Misaki at Superior

★★★★☆ 4.4 (256) • $$

"The food was exactly as expected; hot and fresh as it should be. The service also was fast and super friendly. The price is right for the right food and service. Dining hall was clean and well organized. A lot of people carry-out here (since the tables are mostly filled?) The food is good but it's a bit pricey. Overall, we may or may not come here again since it's pricey; and there are other Ramen options close by to this location."

Nana Sushi Thai

★★★★★ 4.9 (46)

"Was such a great find. Just a few miles from downtown Evergreen so you won't have to struggle finding parking. The menu has everything you need after a long day of exploring. The food is very flavorful and made to order so takes a little while but it's definitely expected. Medium level of spice was perfect for me but you can even go one level up if you like your food really hot. Very small and simple inside but it's perfect for lunch. 10/10 if you are craving some Thai food!"

Mecha Noodle Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (13)

"They hail from the East Coast and just opened in RiNo next to Corsica and in the former Stem Cider location. This is actually a much welcomed addition to the Asian food scene in the area without being Hop Alley prices. You can actually come here multiple times a week - especially during their M/F 3-6pm HH with 50% their munchies (lots of good apps) and sake. The music is slightly loud if you are bringing your kids but you can entertain them with Naruto playing in the background.The Pros:1) Bar Seating, lots of room for groups and I hope they will have outdoor seating soon? 2) Very good service bc I always had water 3) The Red Oil Dumpling with pork and shrimp was my favorite. The huge amounts of herbs and spices were great. 4) Mushroom Miso Dumplings are a must for all the carnivores please 5) Bao Buns were good and I got the Soft Shell Crab but maybe the batter was slightly heavy. They should be on HH too!6) Kale Salad was a Kale Salad but helped cut the saltiness of some of the food and the sauces7) Lots of mocktails and cocktails and sake offerings. The drink menu is larger than the food menu. The Cons:1) OMG. They have the off-brand fake sriracha sauce. You know what I'm talking about when the original OG rooster sauce with the green cap was like MIA bc they had a supply chain issue. It's no longer an issue and they use the off-brand stuff here. I saw it on the shelves bc they put their sauces in smaller bottles but that is foul. How you have Pho without the OG sauce? So skip that - ask for the hot chilli oil. 2) Hard Hard Past on the Tuna Handroll. It was totally not really fresh and mushy and the rice was hard. It is not the Source Hotel handroll Temaki joint. 3) So - I actually liked the ramen broth, but the noodles weren't the ramen springy noodles. So Osaka is still better here. They were like the thin Loi Mein noodles. I knew they are still working out their service and being that this is walkable for me.. I will def be back for HH to try their wings and Pho offerings with brisket and Marrow. Don't expect federal Blvd Asian authentic food and vibes but I always welcome this Asian fusion date night spot to RiNo. Actually - I hope they do well and I'll be back."

Ramen Star

★★★★☆ 4.1 (256) • $$

"My friend researched and found Ramen Star before our trip out to Denver. We are both "noodle heads" so Ramen Star hits the spot. Their menu consists of starts, buns, ravioli, yakitori, ramen, mazemen noodles and tsukemen noodles. They are known for their "Chocolate Ramen" here consisting of a chocolate flavor base, chocolate ravioli, strawberry and chocolate whipped cream. We were not feeling too adventurous so we stuck to the basics of the Miso Ramen, Chicken Ramen and Spicy Chicken Ramen! But, it did not disappoint! The broth, noodles, toppings and flavors were all on point. Cute, Japanese themed interior, friendly service, I would come back again if I lived closer!"

Asuka Ramen & Poke-Edgewater

★★★★☆ 4.2 (104)

"Admittedly, I was a bit skeptical of a new ramen and poke restaurant in a strip mall. Not that I practice the judge a book by its cover mentality...but c'mon you never know! Luckily, Yelpers hit the nail on the head. I eat way more ramen then I do poke. However, the other night I was actually craving a poke bowl. Asuka popped up as one of the only places open in my neck of the woods, so I figured I knock out a local spot from my bookmarks.These cats are no strangers to the scene, with two Denver locations. One down E Colfax and one in Greenwood Village. The digs are simply laid out and very clean. A bright menu board spells out the ramen dishes, poke bowls, and various appetizers. The Spicy Combo Bowl - fresh ingredients are the name of the game here. I'm not expected grade A fish at a place like this when you're mixing all the ingredients together. But hell, the tuna and salmon were fresh and packed with heat. The crisp veggies were a nice touch. Plus, they put a massive portion of white rice in the bottom of the bowl.Additionally, the woman behind the counter prepared this within seconds. Fast, tasty and won't break the bank. Cheggitout!"

"In the middle of an icy cold snowy day, what more could warm the heart up than a delicious bowl of ramen!We found this place to warm ourselves up for lunch and discovered a simple and delicious ramen place in the heart of Denver. Hidden away amongst a handful of shops, this place was simple and small but not overwhelmingly busy. Their menu is large and covers both poke and ramen; even letting you build your own poke bowl with an enormous amount of options. We got the chicken ramen and the ton katsu ramen, both absolutely delicious. This bowl is large for the low price and worth every sip. The service is fast at turning around the food too. If you are in need of some delicious ramen that really hits the spot check this place out!"

303 Ramen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (249) • $$

"I didn't even know this place existed despite visiting Arvada a good chunk of times! It's pretty hidden behind the old town Arvada. The inside is ultra cute and right when you walk in you are greeted by the famous Lofi girl doing her homework from YouTube playing some cozy music in the background. They have a range of different stuff here. My parents and I got ramen while my fiancé got the drunken noodles. My dad and I got the 303 Ramen. It's pretty unique and has a kick to it. There's a bunch of cheese in it but it's all melted into the bottom so be sure to scoopity scoop to eat with your ramen. Broth is tasty. My mom's Tonkotsu Ramen was apparently not impressive. She said it was salty and reminded her too much of instant noodles. My fiancés drunken noodles were apparently quite spicy and he had a pretty high tolerance for spicy stuff. If this was how it's like for medium spice I wonder how the maximum spicy level would be! Oh and the appetizer platter was fun, but I only enjoyed the steamed dumplings. Not bad of a place if you're craving all this stuff."

Mizu Izakaya

★★★★☆ 4.2 (813) • $$

"The interior design of Mizu Izakaya is stunning and definitely eye-catching. However, I wasn't as impressed by their rather bland nigiri pieces. I felt they could have added a bit more salt and other unique flavor pairings charging at the rate they do. I likely won't be returning."

Katsu Ramen

★★★★☆ 4 (903) • $$

"Damn gooood! My girl, a friend and I went here from the airport and we were starving. We just yelped this place and first one that popped off when you search soups lol. The ambiance was buzzling and full of color. I never been to Osaka Japan but it does reminded me of that from movies. The customer service was outstanding and cannot say more. I really enjoyed my eating experience here because the food were wow!!! So good.. I didn't expect Colorado to have an awesome ramen place like this :) I ordered their shoyu ramen, which is a soy sauce based soup with pork strips and egg ramen. The ingredients were fresh as you can get and really hearty in a cold weather like this. The most exciting part of our food trip are their onigiris.. I think those bad boys stole the show.. it was sooo gooood! The rice and meat mixture inside it with dashes of furikake powder was just excellent :) Overall, best place to get ramen in Colorado in my opinion.. definitely passing by this place again whenever I can :)PS: Almost forgot their Japanese Curry plate... yo try it! It's definitely a must!!!"

Ace Eat Serve

★★★★☆ 3.5 (993) • $$$

"I had no idea Ace Eat Serve specialized in Asian cuisine! I planned a triple date here on a weekday evening, eating dinner in the restaurant area first, then taking advantage of the 2 hours of pong time that came with our reservation. Happy Hour prices are amazing. I wasn't impressed with any of the fried food (most of the menu) but full-sized ramen for $11 is a steal. Worth coming for that. I got the Spicy Pork Ramen, while my partner ordered the Khao Soi.The cocktails were tasty (sooo many options!) all of which we enjoyed while taking turns on the ping pong table. The tables were spaced out plenty, and I loved exploring the Lucky Cat Lounge when I wasn't playing. I also found it amusing that all the messed-up balls were crammed into the walls. Great vibes and obviously perfect for personal and corporate parties. Parking wasn't bad. Service is great. Definitely coming back at some point."

"The moment you step into the place, you'd feel as if you just flew to Japan! A lot of cute traditional Japanese decor all around you. The quality of the sushi is gosh darn good too! If I was rich I would have ordered one of everything and I wouldn't be worried. The service was also very attentive throughout our whole dining experience. I'm curious about the ramen because it seems people seem to enjoy it here. Next time!"

"Came here with a friend on a Monday night. HAPPY HOUR! No reservation needed. It is located walking distance from most places downtown and the Coors field. They have bar seating a very cute upstairs that I would like to check out and a large table in the middle for a big group.They have something for everyone, ramen, sushi and cooked items. Everything was so fresh and delicious. It was pretty empty when we went so I would think that if it is more crowded it might take a while to get food. The staff were on top of it and attentive. The happy hour prices cannot be beat! I will totally come back for happy hour again. Strong 4/5 stars! :)"

"Love this place. I stumbled upon it waiting for my kid to get out of a choir rehearsal at a nearby church. The sushi was delicious and so reasonably priced. And the nicest surprise, we got our nigiri and rolls a sushi boat, complete with dry ice fog. Our server was super nice. I appreciated that they were open for lunch on a Saturday and didn't close between lunch and dinner. It was hard for us to find a good sushi place that was open for a late lunch but I'm glad this place was! Delicious. I really liked the Shrek roll. Unique and flavorful. The space was nice too. Not too fancy but comfortable."

★★★★☆ 4.2 (180) • $$

"We grabbed a late lunch here and had the Tonkotsu ramen and the pork dumplings. The ramen was good and not too salty. The noodles were a good consistency. The pork dumplings were not great -- they seemed either over or under cooked, and had a tough/chewy consistency along the seem. The filling was good though!Service was ok, nothing great, but fine enough for a quick bite!"

"What a find! Came here last night based on Yelp! reviews. This is a true hidden gem and so glad I found it. Inside very quaint, clean and well lit. Staff here is awesome and for sure 5 star! Super friendly , knowledgeable and really made this a 5 star experience. For food I started off with the karaage chicken and while a little different than what I am used to but regardless it was delicious. I had the spicy miso ramen with added chayu, seasoned pork and added egg. Normally most ramen comes with an egg but this is a little $$$ either way this was so delicious! Can't even explain how fresh and amazing is was. What a great experience on a hidden gem located in a non obscure strip mall in the corner but it was worth every bite. Will for sure be back!"

Volcano Ramen

Ebisu Ramen and Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.3 (44)

"After picking up my Yelpie ("Writer of the Year" baby!) and surveying the various booths at Junction Food Hall, I found myself eying the menu at Ebisu Ramen and Sushi for lunch. Springs rolls, hand rolls, sushi and ramen comprise the massive menu with pictures of each dish - which literally made me drool! I ultimately decided on an order of the Spicy Tuna & Triple Crunch Roll which consisted of spicy tuna, avocado, cucumber, mango salsa, Japanese rice crunch, crunch mix, triple sauce (sweet soy sauce, green garlic aioli, spicy aioli)! After scanning the QR code at the window, I simply placed my order online and picked it up about 7 minutes later! My plate looked gorgeous in presentation and featured a side of soy sauce and ginger - which totally balanced the plate and palate! The tuna was spicy and delicious while the outer layer offered the perfect amount of crunch! YUM! The roll was much bigger than anticipated and totally hit the spot!For the quality of fish, it makes sense as to why this roll is so expensive, however, be prepared to pay a pretty penny. Pricing for sushi varies from $9-$19 per roll, while the ramen bowls range from $10-18 a bowl. Although delicious, my meal was a whopping $18.50 for 8 pieces of sushi which had me a little shook! However, as stated above, the quality of ingredients makes up for the price tag. When back at Junction, I'd return here for another round of sushi."
