Broth was too salty. You have to order it entirely yourself as well. But the atmosphere is nice and there is plenty of seating

My server Jo Conforti made my day when I went to dragonfly noodle. Her amazing attitude, sweet smile, and hardworking spirit made me know I was in great hands. And I haven’t even talked about the food yet. BEST MEAL EVER. Wow I am just dreaming about going back.

I don’t know who these people are giving this place four stars. I just put this Ramen in my mouth and it’s the most delicious Ramen I’ve ever tasted in my life. I am a Ramen, connoisseur and let me tell you when I say everything is homemade they even make the noodles & the vibes are good. If you sit at one of the tables, you can literally get a view of Pearl Street and the Flatirons don’t think twice about coming here for Ramen, its the move.

Fantastic food! The service was a bit odd doing most of the ordering without talking to anyone, you order through your phone

Dragonfly Noodle is a small, ramen and phở joint located just off of Pearl Street (parking can be a bit annoying for those driving).
I'll start off by saying if I would have only ordered the ramen, my overall score would have been well into the 90s.
I ordered the Black Tonkotsu Ramen, the Roast Duck Bao, and some hot oolong tea. Let's start with the not so good.
The bao, while it had good flavor, was very soggy on the underside. I'm not sure why this was, but it was a let down. My picture isn't great, but you can see how moist it is in the photo. Additionally, my hot tea didn't come out until I was almost done with my meal. That was a disappointment as well. It seemed the main employee doing nearly everything didn't know how to do the tea, and needed trained. I can understand, but my score for service will have to stand. Noted, though, it was a quality oolong I was served when I eventually was.

Now onto the great. The ramen is fantastic. Good, rich flavor with all the fixings you want. The smoked pork belly (somewhere between chashu and char siu for the real ramen folks out there) is a gift from the heavens. For all that is holy, get extra. But, the ramen is the star at this restaurant. Stick to that and you'll go home very happy.
The ambiance is nice; the aesthetic reminds me of my time in Japan and felt authentic.
I'm sad to not be giving a better score, as I feel it was an off experience. I'll definitely be back for more of the ramen, though! And if it's better, I'll revise my score.

I visited this local Ramen spot for the Tonkotsu. I ordered the black garlic version on the menu which is twice the price of many top notch establishments. I would give Ramen 3 of 10 stars. It was fine but not worth price especially with its counter service model. Restaurant also has no wifi.

I don’t leave bad reviews ever but I’m pretty disappointed…I went to dragonfly noodle in downtown Denver a few years ago and LOVED it! This being my 2nd time here I ordered the same thing (the miso ramen with tofu and veggies) and it was inedible due to a sugar marinade they put on the veggies. I was expecting a savory dish and bit into an overwhelming amount of sweetness every bite. It was so bad I have to imagine it was just a prep mistake and they portioned the sugar wrong. The waitress never offered a refund so I unfortunately will not be back or recommend this restaurant again.

The vegetarian options were pretty limited (there's basically only a couple items on the menu for vegetarians), and while it was good, I've had much better ramen at other places. The portion sizes are very large though which is nice. I liked the decor a lot and the food arrived quickly.

The food was great. I got the miso chicken ramen and chili oil. Very tasty. But there were so many dirty dishes around not very appealing to eat next to.
