Oishii Ramen

First off, the prices on their website are about $5 less than at the restaurant, looks like their online site has not updated the prices.Second, the food is overpriced for what you get. The flavor was ok but a little bland and the topping and everything included was pretty lackluster. I've had much better Ramen for much less. I can't comment on the ambiance since I got the food to go. The worker/owner was ok, not very friendly but not mean.Overall the whole experience was pretty meh. I wouldn't go back though.

As soon as you walk in, you immediately feel the traditional vibe this place offers. One thing I like is some tradition lol.The seating situation here is very different than what I'm used to at a ramen restaurant. It's very limited, and everyone shares a table that's the main reason why I didn't give this place 5 stars. If they had more seating, they for sure would've had 5 starts. If I were you, I would avoid coming during lunchtime because you'll be waiting for a seat. The service is great here. I'm pretty sure we got our food in under 10 mins. Speaking of which, the ramen here is solid! Small menu but really good nonetheless. I ordered the chashu bao and the black tonkatsu ramen. Both of which were really good. I've had bao's at a different ramen place in the area, and this place has them beat! Come treat yourself to great ramen :)

Hmmm... this ramen was next to my hotel. Surprisingly, it showed high rated compared to other ramen restaurants in the same area. When it is cold, good ramen is the thing you are looking for. However, after I tasted the ramen. I was disappointed. The soup taste of ramen is pretty light. The extra chashu I ordered were very thin and small. The service was not the great. The guy picked up my order was on the phone all the time. For ambiance, it is just okay.Food: 4/10Price: 2/10Service: 3/10Ambiance: 5/10

I'm honestly shocked at the high rating this place has. unfortunately this is the worst ramen place I've ever been to. the outside looks like it's shut down at first glance with the boarded up door. multiple bypassers used the windows as a mirror thinking no one was inside. the inside is small and quiet, not really any ambience, but the workers are friendly. the food wasn't great, but it was served pretty quickly. the ramen came out before the appetizer which was odd but I didn't really mind. the ramen toppings (egg and bamboo shoots) were both cold like they were just taken out of the fridge. there were also only like two bamboo shoots. the pork belly was so tough I couldn't eat it. I literally could not break it with my teeth. it was a pretty disappointing bowl. the only thing I can think of as to why this place has such great reviews is maybe Denver just doesn't have good ramen? I'm from out of state, and eaten ramen in multiple countries. so maybe if you're an out-of-towner-ramen-lover, skip this one.

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.

Oishii ramen is a pretty mediocre ramen shop if you're a ramen enthusiast. The broth is good if it's your fist ramen shop but for my boyfriend and I who has frequented a lot of ramen shops, the broth is quite plain. The noodles were also nothing special and noodles are the heart of a bowl of ramen. Price of the ramen is quite high for the quality that you get. Service was also a bit slow, it took long for people to get their ramen. Ramen should usually come out quick. Their tip recommendations on their machine was also outrageous! It gave the options of 20, 30, and 40 percent!

It was a cold winter night in November and I was visiting a friend from out of town. My hotel was only walking distance from Oishii Ramen. I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen with pork. Unfortunately, the pork was dry and the tonkatsu was watered down. I also did not like how they filled it up lots of bean sprouts. I did love the family style ambience though. Can't say that I will ever come back.

Desperately looking for a place to defrost, anything broth-like sounded perfect. I was definitely hesitant, as I looked in the window, there was only one other patron dining on a Friday night and with my limited time in Denver... did I want to take the chance??I decided to go for it. Walked in to a small open area with a U-shaped ramen bar and ordered the black tonkatsu with chicken.The chicken was a bit dry and flavorless, so I could have done without the meat entirely in that case. The ramen itself was decent, but I wouldn't put it on the top list of my food experiences. As for the egg, I've had tonkatsu in which the egg adds a nice punch. That wasn't the case here... it had a flavor (the egg) that I personally wasn't quite a fan of, so that may have contributed to my overall feeling.I did not finish my entire dish, but in part I was just full and had no desire to force the rest in to a full tummy.Service was quick and friendly. (Very friendly so I'd recommend going to form your own opinion!)

It doesn't look like much at first glance, but most truly wonderful things don't. Inside is cramped in a friendly way. You're almost obliged to exchange a few pleasant words with the stranger next to you. The server was wonderful and friendly, opening up and chatting despite a clearly busy and tiring night. And of course, with any small restaurant defiantly standing strong amidst gargantuan chain restaurants, the food was delicious. The noodles were firm yet juicy, the meat was flavorful and delicious, and the broth was subtle and strong as a weathered oak. Would eat again.

Came to Oishii for a quick lunch on a snowy Saturday with a couple coworkers. Was impressed by every aspect of the restaurant. Loved the spacious counter, that made me feel like I was actually at a ramen restaurant and was still comfortable, same for the decorations.We each got a different bowl of ramen that we enjoyed: the black garlic, spicy tonkotsu, and the veggie. All were complete with fresh ingredients, and had lovely springy and eggy noodles. My favorite part of the tonkotsu I had was how clean the broth was. It still had a soul-warming, creamy and pure taste, but without an over-reliance on fat or salt. The service was very efficient and warm. The server even ran after us in the snow to give us a bag we had forgotten. Very much worth trying!
