I don't understand their current rating... They only get the 1-star from me due to wait time as the food was served in a timely manner. However, the miso ramen bowl was absolutely terrible. While they were preparing our food I'm 100% certain I heard a microwave which had me wondering if they microwaved part of our meal, the broth in particular. The noodles, were not tasty whatsoever. The broth that went on top of the noodles had a decent color but tasted like heated water. They could have at least garnished the meal with an entire boiled egg instead of just half an egg, but I suppose it was okay because the half boiled egg we got looked so terrible, specifically the yolk, that we didn't even eat it. Even after mixing the chewy chicken (didn't taste real) noodles, broth and veggies which tasted like canned veggies, there was still ZERO FLAVOR. Very disappointing because this was the first meal we had upon arriving to Denver. There was no one in the restaurant the entire time we were there and it makes sense as to why no one was lined up for the food. To whomever considers this restaurant, please don't. Go try somewhere and something else.

Looks like a traditional Japanese noodle bar and tastes even better. Spicy Tonkotsu is just right.

The best ramen in Denver! Should be way more well known. The service was amazing and extremely inviting. The ramen was flavorful and all ingredients had a perfect proportion. The whole atmosphere felt so cozy. Definitely would come again!

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: 4/10 Price: 2/10 Service: 3/10 Ambiance: 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.

Good food, unwelcoming service. Young gentleman who was on register was very unkind. Came in for pickup and inquired about a certain beverage and said he didn't have any. At all. For the day. Then looked at me like I should've known that, even tho the drink is advertised in their window! Odd. Asked about hot sauce and rolled his eyes and said it's extra, I said that's fine I'll pay but he walked away, came back with 1 (for my family order) handed it to me, walked away and seen him saying something then looking at me. Very unprofessional & unpleasant.
I got the spicy tonkatsu ramen. It was not very spicy, and there was not much meat in each serving but it was pretty good. Cute place too!

This is a gem worth visiting if you are near the Colorado Convention Center. The ramen is falvourful (I had the black garlic and spicy), the noodles were an excellent consistency, and served quickly. As a treat, try the pan fried dumplings to startI liked that 21oz bottles of Japanese beers were on offer.I very much enjoyed both the food and the experience.

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!
