Over the last year and a half, I've noticed the food quality really decline. I hadn't been back in almost a year, but my sons convinced me to give it another try tonight. Unfortunately, we were all disappointed. The karaage chicken was hard as a rock and overcooked. The katsudon was also way overcooked and lacked flavor. The only thing that was okay was the shrimp shumai. Service was rough too. Our table wasn't pre-bussed, and we felt pretty ignored. When the waitress did ask how it was and I told her she then just wanted to argue with me about the chicken being well done and not even edible and I even showed her I couldn't even eat it. Wasn't even chewable. It was so cooked. It's just so sad to see how far this place has fallen. I really hope they can turn it around because having a good Japanese restaurant nearby meant a lot to us.

I've tried all the ramen on their menu and everyone is super tasty. Some highlights: The Flavorsome, their signature, is so good. Rich and beefy with tender oxtail. Get it with the chili paste (which is properly spicy) for a good kick. The Saigon Curry is nice and cozy, perfect for a winter day. It also happens to taste exactly like the Vietnamese style curry I enjoyed when I was younger. The remaining options are nothing to scoff at either. Both the Pork Belly (tonkotsu style) and the Dashi are more traditional, but tasty nonetheless.

This small ramen shop is a hidden little gem in Denver. The service was great, even if our waiter was on his first day and stumbled a bit. He was attentive, eager, and happy to help with a smile on his face. The food was excellent as well, ranging from crispy gyoza and chicken karaage to various ramen dishes. The only downside was the karaage, which was slightly different than what I was used to, but it was still delicious. We left with our stomachs full, smiles on our faces, and a warm goodbye that has turned into a "see you later," as I will definitely be back.

The noodles had a good chew, the broth is not too salty and creamy.... The toppings were delicious w good amount of spinach and menma, the poached egg runny - everyone was perfect for the ramen. I wished the pork/charsiu were sliced slightly thicker. It was nicely torch-seared. Service was decent, it is a self service restaurant for the most part, you order and they bring it to your table. The takoyaki was not freshly made but it had a crunch. The best part was their chicken karaage, such fluffy and airy coating and so nicely fried. Typically I'm used to a jammy soft boiled egg but those can be hard to make right and take more time to peel the shells. I do think the poached egg was tasty but an easy way out for a ramen shop. Def shocked that they were quite good in a strip mall, but I might have judged the book cover. Wished they had some cold beer or hot sake to go with the karaage for sure, I would never leave.

Good food, atrocious service…read more I came here on a Wednesday night around 7:00, there were empty tables but we were told it would be a 20/25 minute wait. The staff then went on to ignore us. When we finally got seated 30 minutes later - it was an act of god to get ANY service. When we ordered our food, we also ordered some sake . 30 minutes after we ordered our food we still had not received any sake - when we finally flagged down a server they said it would be coming momentarily. 10 minutes later it came. Our food took 30 minutes to come out and getting anyone to give us napkins or refill our drinks was an act of god. This place is severely understaffed. I ordered the lamb hot pot which was very good and had a generous portion of lamb and other delicious goodies. Come for the food, but expect it to take at least 1-2 hours.

The ramen is really good. The nigiri is also pretty good. The rolls are usually a let down for us unfortunately. That said, the happy hour menu is a good deal for a hang out, especially in large group, and the brunch menu is pretty nice. In my opinion, Mizu was probably one of the better Japanese options back in the day. However, with so many other good spots now, especially with Kawa Ni close by with a better izakaya hang out spot, it's not as attractive of an option, especially given the higher price. It really is not a restaurant that specializes in any particular food, but is certainly a crowd pleaser if you have people that want different things.

They even included a complimentary order of edamame with our takeout order of over $30 and generously packed plenty of soy sauce, ginger, and other condiments, which was a thoughtful touch. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and would definitely order from here again. The ramen was probably the only item I wouldn't get a second time as the noodles were overcooked and the broth lacked richness but the fried wontons, sushi rolls, and miso soup were all fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd happily come back to try more of the menu.

This broth was fish based and much lighter than the tonkotsu. It was packed full of flavor and the madai fillets was cooked perfectly.
