Ramen Restaurants in Denver, CO

“JINYA is excellent. The food is great and we received wonderful service from Rena!“

“Best ramen EVER! We stumbled upon Uncle over a decade ago, and since then anytime we’re in CO we come for dinner. The spicy chicken ramen is hands down the best, love all of the bao buns, eggplant is my favorite, but can’t go wrong with crab or pork belly ones either. We’ve never had anything bad, service is always great too! Be sure to make a reservation.“

“The food and service were excellent. The atmosphere was perfect for a ramen spot. I had the chile pork ramen and it was delicious, spicy cucumbers were excellent, my wife had the spice chicken ramen and it was also perfect. This place has some of the better ramen in Denver, definitely recommend.“

“Delicious. This place is a hidden gem.“

“We celebrated our anniversary here, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Every piece of fish was unbelievably fresh and delicious
some of the best sushi we’ve had in Denver.

Our server, Linda, was genuinely kind and attentive, and she made the whole night feel warm and special without being overbearing. The space itself has such an authentic vibe that it honestly felt like we were somewhere in Japan, not Denver.

Absolutely amazing can’t wait to come back.“

“My husband and I stopped in on a brisk day and were warmed by the delicious both and the friendly staff.“

“Today I was kind of hungry for some ramen and most places were closed, luckily I found this place so I decided to go try it, I think I found my favorite place to eat something delicious late at night, the food and service were more than excellent, I will be back soon!“

“This is my favorite sushi spot in Denver. Across the board, it scores highly in all the metrics I consider to define a good restaurant.

Coming from the coast, I was tentative about the quality of fish to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. The yellowtail is delicious, and the eel in the Rock N Rolla was very well prepared. The richness of the Takoyaki (octopus balls) reminded me of Dutch Bitterballen. I had a Sake martini as well, which was very light and flavorful. The collection of sake is something I plan on diving deeper into in the future, and the entire menu is adventurous and exciting.

The service was impeccable. Food came out promptly, and appetizers, drinks, entree, dessert were all precisely placed and delivered exactly as they were expected to be. Occasionally I feel rushed at restaurants with prompt service, but the food all arrived in a timely manner with proper temperature. The server learned my and my parties names, referring to us by them for the rest of the evening. I got good recommendations from him for the menu, and tried the quail egg (uzura nigiri) and salmon roe (ikura sashimi), which were both delicious. When I mentioned that I was curious to find my places with a similar vibe, he got a napkin and wrote me out a list of his favorite restaurants in the Denver metro. I don’t know if I’ve ever had service at a restaurant that was so professional, efficient, and personal.

The atmosphere was exactly what I was hoping for. Upon entering, you’re presented with a wall of customers’ sake masu, a personalized container from which to drink sake. The soft chatter of conversation gives an organic vibe while natural wooden hues lend the space their tranquility. I sat at the bar, where the chefs prepare the courses in front of you. Trying the various sashimi and nigiri, after watching them be prepared, reminds me of omakase without the steep price point. I was looking for a romantic place to catch up with a friend, and I don’t know if a better place for that exists.

Tokio is a hidden gem, and discovering it felt like striking buried treasure. It’s charm and soul remind me of the hole in the wall restaurants I grew up with in New York, and was sorely missing. I will certainly be coming here more.

Tokio is affordable, charismatic, and delicious.“

“Can we talk about our culture of inauthenticity and mass production in the age of covid? The antidote is Ramen Star. Hot (but high quality) sake and a bowl of their homemade kimchi ramen (with in-house broth) is the power lunch that strengthens the host to fight the invader. My dining in experience was further enhanced by the handmade metal screens (made by the head chef), subtle decor and gentle piano music. The quality food was equally matched by the service. I just wanted some lunch, but I got a solo nomad staycation. Thank you Ramen Star. Five stars! ✨ ⭐️ 💫 🌟❤️‍🔥“

“I got the black garlic ramen medium spicy and my friend got the tonkatsu ramen spicy and they were both delicious. The serving size was great and the food had fantastic flavor. I wish they had Sapporo or hot sake, that would make it a 5 star for sure. I would highly recommend trying the ramen herr if you are in the area.“

“So good!!! Cute little place on Colfax - recommend parking on a side street and walking over due to construction. They have numerous vegetarian ramen dishes. I had the spicy version and it was incredibly delicious and a huge portion. Staff were nice and the service was quick. I shall return!“

“The food was absolutely delicious and exceeded our expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed every bite of our meal. Our server Vanessa was wonderfully attentive and friendly throughout our visit. It's always a pleasure to be served by such kind and welcoming individuals. We look forward to returning for another delightful experience.“

“My family enjoyed eating lunch here when we were in Denver last week. Their ramen was excellent and the service was great! I would definitely come back again if I'm ever in the area.“

“Yum is an understatement. This Ramen is everything!!!!“

“More People should go to this place. The ramen is amazing. I had the menya special and it was flavorful. If went well with my sapporo beer. The service was great. They didn’t have a lot of people in the restaurant, so I got a one on one service. The food came out quick and it was great. Will return again once I’m back in Denver“

“Service is good. Food is even better. We were surprised by how good everything is. A great authentic asian place that caters to non-asian pallete. The staff are mostly asian. Spicy is actually spicy. I wished thinner rice layer on the sushi rolls. The pork curlet was juicy. I mistakenly ordered plate, i wanted curry. The portion sizes were great. Definetly will be back for more.“

“Highly recommend this place! The food is delicious and beautifully crafted, and the pricepoint is reasonable as well. This is a great healthy, vegan option and I will definitely be a regular!“

“We started coming here about a year ago for their awesome lunch sashimi specials and somehow it quickly turned into an almost-weekly tradition. Whether it’s a quick workday lunch or a full-on family feast, this place never misses.
The fish is always served at exactly the right temperature, which is surprisingly rare and makes such a difference. The spicy edamame is truly one of a kind and a must-order every time.
David takes incredible care of us on every visit, and our kids beg to come along because they feel like total VIPs. Warm, consistent service and truly excellent sushi. We’re so lucky to have this place in our neighborhood!“

“Mugi’s ramen is delicious. I don’t eat pork or shellfish and there are options you can remove or modify which is greatly appreciated. The music is fun and upbeat and Pan’s service was impeccable for a quick dine in. We were walked through the menu very thorough and it was pretty great. Glad we checked it out!“

“I was in the parking lot and starving! Didn’t want ramen since it was so hot, so I went with a curry chicken bowl instead. It really hit the spot! The bowl had fried chicken, curry, and pickled radish—totally unexpected but awesome. The server was great, and since the place only had about three tables inside, I managed to beat the lunch rush. The ambiance was fantastic—small and intimate, kind of like being in Japan!“

“Very good, lots a choices. Planning to go back often.“

“Super delicious food and good service. I'll definitely eat here again!!!“

“SO delicious. We waited on trying them for way too long, they're so good. I'm excited to spend more Sundays with wonderful noodles 🧡“

“I usually don’t leave reviews but this one deserves it 100 percent. I’m an asian woman and i’m very picky when it comes to asian foods. I bought the ramen and it tastes amazing. The ingredients are rich and the ginseng tastes like a cure. Best ramen I ever had in my life, no joke. And the staff are amazing, very quick, responsive and friendly.“

“I really like to eat ramen, and this place is definitely stands out with their quality. They brought a beer with a cooled glass and ramen was just right - spicy enough, with meat chunks not being too fatty. I would definitely come back here.“

“Ramen - the food of my youth. I have spent long periods of my life (like law school) living on ramen. “o soba” (the noodles) was one of my first words having been born in Japan. This was the shit - authentic ramen. My date loved her poke bowl. The bao special was fine, but it’s the ramen that will bring me back.“

“Good food and atmosphere.“

“We were given this recommendation from a friend who lives in Denver. The food was INCREDIBLE, the drinks were delightful, the food came out quickly, despite them being busy on NYE. The music was loud, the laughter along with the people having a great time, made the perfect downtown Denver experience. The ambience is beautiful, the lighting and decor really set the vibe. We would definitely go back on our next visit.“
