Uncle

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.

It's a shock to me that this only gets 3 stars, but the ramen was average. I am no ramen expert, but I've probably eaten 20-30 bowls over the years. This was so hyped up, but the flavors for me and my wife was meh. We both looked at each other as we ate and whispered, "This is it?" I got the spicy pork and she got another dish- the server did mention that the spicy chicken makes up 40% of their sales and neither of us got that.Service was great.Loved the outdoor patio.

Chashu Ramen: 4/5 the broth was good but not worth the wait, the chashu was tender, wish they had a creamy broth option.Fried quail: 4/5 difficult to eat but the vietnamese flavors from the fish sauce was addictive Pork buns: 5/5 tender pork belly with well balanced ingredients

This spot is popular, so get there early during the week, or be prepared to wait, as they don't take reservations. The atmosphere is casual and hip, with attentive and effective staff. The food my husband and I tried was delicious. The Chinese Eggplant Buns (two per order) were amazing: steamed buns stuffed with Fried Chinese eggplant, miso mayo, pickled plum mustard seed dressing, and cabbage slaw. The Spicy Chicken Ramen with a meat based spicy sesame broth, seared confit chicken, bean sprouts, and soft poached egg was also very tasty. The prices are higher than average, with a bowl of ramen priced at $19, and I found it a little surprising (and disappointing) to be charged extra for a small side of sauce that was suggested by our waitress.Still, Uncle is definitely worth a visit to experience their unique take on the traditional Japanese staple!

It was our anniversary trip/ dinner and with the chilly weather and flu-ish feeling we were up for some ramen! The reviews did say they have a wait, 2-3 hours or a line that sometimes runs around the block, so we went to the less popular newer location instead. We did have to wait about 15-20 mins though (not too bad).When asked if we were celebrating anything, we did say our anniversary. They did sent us out a cold tofu appetiser that was delicious that we somehow would not have ordered ourselves reading the description. The place was busy, the staff was so efficient, the bao was smaller than what I've had at other restaurants, so we got the pork belly one as well as the soft shell crab one that I devoured alone( the hubs is allergic, more for me.. yay!) my husband got the chili pork ramen, that was soo spicy and felt amazing for our stuffed sinuses (I said ours coz I stole some of his). We also got the chilli bomb on the side. Which I used to spice up my chashu pork ramen. We obviously could not finish our ramens, had to pack almost half of it to go. Breakfast noods for the win!

Duck ramen and the pork belly bao buns are my ultimate favorite. I love bringing friends here and showing them my favorite ramen spot. Service is quick and you get the community table feel. You can't make a reservation on line so you need to get there early to get on the list and all of the party must be present to sit. It's a busy restaurant and has a busy feel so not for those who want a quiet dinner, it's a lively spot. Never have I had a bad experience there!

Delicious food with a wonderful, laid-back atmosphere in the Highlands. They can accommodate a few of their dishes to be gluten-free. I had the duck ramen - so flavorful and filling! I'd recommend sitting outside and enjoying the ambiance. Excellent, quick service.

First time trying Uncle while visiting a friend. I wanted a light ramen so got the chashu ramen. The pork was flavorful and tender. First time I've had arugula in ramen which wasn't bad just odd. My husband got the same dish but had to send his egg back due a bug being on it.

I tried everything but the ramen and WOW! A friend recommended this spot while I was visiting, and it was too hot to get ramen so I decided to rely on the appetizers! I was not disappointed at all! The hamachi was mind blowing and the flavors all complemented each other so well. So refreshing. If you're a crudo fan - this will not disappoint. I had to dable in their buns, so I opted for the soft shell crab. Another winner and great flavors. Lastly, I tried the grilled shrimp with sweet corn. Yea, it was messy, but boy did it pack a punch! Perfect spot for a solo date, date night, or to catch up with friends!

Went here with a group of friends and despite there being a lot of people we were sat quickly. We started with the pork bao which was yummy but not the best I've had. For my meal, I had the Khao soi with fried tofu. I was surprised that the tofu comes on the side instead of in the dish but it still tasted good. The Khao soi was solid, again not the best I have had but still very good. Service was good besides one interaction. They also first come first serve here.
