I wanted to like the food SO badly, but couldn't bring myself to finish it which is a shame considering the high ratings. I read through some reviews that claimed they know good ramen because they're from California. For reference, I'm from Southern Cali and my bf is from NY. We eat ramen all the time and this was not "it" for us. Sadly. We started with the gyoza which didn't taste very fresh. Kinda like the frozen ones you get at the store and steam. But I guess if you're trying to satisfy a gyoza craving and authentic spots are limited in Colorado, this probably will hold you over. We both ordered the tonkatsu ramen. I wanted mine spicy, so they gave me a little container of chili paste. I threw the whole thing in after tasting the broth because it tasted diluted. The chashu pork was charred on a grill and the smokiness of that really took over the broth. Like it should have just been called smokey ramen. I will mention the staff were *very* kind and if I were ever to come back I would say it would be for them.
This is probably the best ramen place I've ever visited. The ramen tasted hearty and delicious. The portion size we very generous. I ate until I was full and then had enough to eat for lunch the next day. The chicken karage was saucy and crispy. Service was kind and quick. The inside is fairly big with plenty of seating. I can't wait to go back and get the tonkatau shoyu ramen again!!
I came here because of the Yelp Check-In discount, and TOTALLY FORGOT to use it. So, if you're coming here, don't forget to check in on Yelp for 15% off the bill. :) I wasn't in the mood for ramen, so I ordered the salmon poke bowl and the chicken fried rice. The fried rice was good enough, and I liked the little bit of ginger that came with it. Personally, the best fried rice dishes have a little bit of ginger and this one was no different. The salmon poke bowl was large and filling. No avocado, but all of the other usual ingredients (and corn) were provided. Good for two to share as a main dish or an appie. Don't bring drinks in here - even if closed and sealed, they will yell at you and ask you to toss it or come back when you don't have them with you anymore. Service was otherwise not attentive, but I think they were understaffed and running between the kitchen and the dining area. Plenty of parking in the lot here. Located on Colorado Blvd in a bustling part of town. No wait for a weekend lunch.
This place has wide selection of ramen. It was kinda hard to decide so I stuck with my normal Shoyu. It was very tasty and just what I needed on a cold winter day. I also ordered edimame which was good but nothing out of the ordinary. Service was good and prices were good considering it was a huge bowl. You can actually make it 2 meals if you're not that hungry to finish it in one sitting. Good ramen if you're in the area!
Decent although not great and not super authentic Japanese food. Stopped in to this strip mall ramen shop for lunch. Started with the gyoza and they were pretty good. Had the Tonkostu ramen and it was also pretty good. Not the best I've had but more than passable. Some decent chunks of grilled chashu. Noodles were nice. Broth was pretty good, it had some depth to it. Toppings also decent although not a huge fan of the taro or fish cake. Service we efficient. Place was clean. Would stop in again if in area.
Ajinoya Ramen killed it! I ordered the Miso Ramen and finished the whole bowl. Every element was executed perfectly, with so much flavor in each bite. The staff was very professional and timely in checking in with customers. I got my meal within 10 minutes of ordering. This restaurant is a great spot for catching up with friends or grabbing a quick bite solo, with plenty of variety on the menu.
Have to say- I could have made instant ramen at home and it would have been better flavor and presentation. This is a soul-less bowl of sad ramen. I don't know what got into me thinking I'd try Ramen in Denver. The Chashu had an odd toughness and flavor of grilling. It was terrible. I know many don't know any better- but this is a below sub-par level of ramen at a premium price! I regret being Japanese because this food just made me mad. Please just stop making bad ramen America!
We went in on Sunday and it was relatively quiet. Service was quick and the place is modern and clean inside. Ramen tasted good. Would go back in the future.
Came here for dinner on Saturday night - walked in and wasn't as busy. Enjoyed the shoyu tonkotsu ramen and miso ramen - I loved how smoked the pork was in both these ramens, definitely added to the flavour of the broth. Husband also got the miso soup which was good but not piping hot. Service is quick and friendly! Definitely get the shoyu ramen!
Decent ramen. The noodles are solid, but the egg didn't seem freshly soft boiled. The soup was a bit too heavy on the shoyu, so much so that it was quite salty. Overall a great option but not my favorite bowl of ramen ever.
I've been craving for soup during my stay in Colorado at winter time. We found this ramen spot. We picked all types and mine is not really appealing the fact it was cold when it served :( Tonkatsu was good and flavorful though..
As usual, i found this place on Yelp. We were in Denver area on a cold December night and a ramen place was the perfect spot for us. The place is a little hard to find as we circled around the strip mall and had to ask someone for the exact location. The entrance turns out to be in front of the row facing the street so it's a bit of a walk to get there. The ambiance is bright, simple and modern. The inside is clean and organized. Service was fine. We ordered their most popular which is the Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen. It was good but not the best. Broth was okay with a little kick to it. Chashu was soft and tasty. Portion and price are fair. We also ordered the chicken karaage which was good- crispy with good flavor and pairs well with the dipping sauce that came with it.
Good authentic ramen is pretty hard to come by in Denver and I'm on a search for it. I got the tokotsu Shoyu ramen, and it was good but not out of this world. I love having a thick hearty tonkotsu broth which many places in Denver lack. The noodles have a decent chew but aren't firm (I've dined in before so I know it wasn't from delivery). However they do make good chashu, it has a nice chat, sweetness and fatty bite to it. It still doesn't compare to let's say Ichiran, or the many whole in the wall ramen shops in Japan. Or even the ramen spots I had back home.
Long time listener, first time caller! On an unusually cold and rainy day in June, the ramen cravings were more prevalent than ever. Ultimately, this local spot did the trick on a dreary day. It was quiet in here for lunch, understandable on a bleak day. The dining room has plenty of seating. The menu has a robust variety of ramen, poke, appetizers, donburi, and a full bar. Spicy Miso Ramen ($16.95) // Ramen noodles, chashu, corn, bok choy, bean sprouts, black fungus, Naruto, seasoned egg, green onion. Noodles had good texture. Broth was silky with solid depth of flavor, though I would've loved more spice. And I enjoyed the chashu. A large portion for the price, good luck finishing the whole bowl! Service was good too. You can tell they were a little bored considering the restaurant wasn't busy, so they checked in on us more than usual. Better that then the opposite right?! A local restaurant worth venturing to on Colorado Blvd. With lots of options in a close proximity, Ajinoya is worth a visit. I can't wait to try more of the menu items! read more
Solid ramen place. Broth is flavorful and not too heavy. The roasted, charred chasu flavor was a little different for me but it was nice touch. I got the tonkatsu shoyu ramen, which had a sprinkle of pepper powder. Only thing I wished was that the broth was hotter. Went on a weeknight and there was plenty of tables around. Service was nice and attentive. read more
Delicious Tonkatsu Ramen. The broth was spot on, the shoyu soft boiled egg was delicious, the chargrilled cha sui was perfectly marinated and tasty, and the noodles were chewy. I also really excited their Mazemen (dry noodles). I ordered their ramen by delivery so I'm sure it's even better eaten at the restaurant. read more

I went here for lunch with a friend a few weeks ago. Went about 1 o clock. The place slowly filled as I was waiting for my friend. Service was great and they were super nice. As soon as we ordered it came out quick! The ramen was delicious! I got the tonkatsj and my friend ordered the tonkatsu shoyu. Both delectable. This is a great, affordable, delicious ramen spot! read more

This ramen was the best I have ever tasted that I could have cried. I am definitely a ramen fan, but I usually am disappointed with the broth. This broth though? DELICIOUS to the last drop. It had a smokiness to it from the pork and I finished the whole thing. The egg, veggies, noodles..just everything..PERFECTION! I will have to go here every time I visit. Perk was that it's literally across the street from the Marriott. Just delicious. read more

This place is consistently delicious with quick + friendly service. We first tried them during the lockdown and then as we were comfortable eating out we began to dine in. We've never had a bad meal either delivery or dining in. Our favorites are the tantan ramen and the miso ramen as well as the Yakisoba. Please give this place a try if you need some amazing ramen. Also, In case you're having trouble finding it, if you park in the parking lot it's around the corner and faces Colorado Blvd on the side of the little shopping center. read more

Tonkotsu ramen was really bland, definitely does not live up to the hype. Tastes more like mediocre Chinese noodle than a bowl of authentic Japanese ramen, especially the broth that tastes off. Chicken Katsu curry rice had decent chicken but the curry was diluted. Interior looks fun but the tastes was unexpectedly disappointing. Might have gotten a bad batch of ramen, may not return the next time we drop by Denver. read more
The place is clean and not too noisy. From the beginning, we weren't greeted with a friendly vibe even though it wasn't busy. We didn't like our appetizer and asked to switch for something else, but they made it difficult to do so. My ramen had some flavor, but my friend's katsu don was plain. I gave the restaurant 2 stars with the hope that they acknowledge this review as a genuine feedback for improvement because honestly I didn't find this experience enjoyable. read more

Rarely have I ever walked out an establishment due to poor food, but this was horrible. I ordered the dry ramen with spice and this is what they brought me. Over cooked broccoli, tough and dry chicken, and squishy noodles. Not the best moment. read more

First off, this ramen place isn't an authentic Japanese style so I bare this fact in mind for my review. Their foods are clearly twisted especially when I tried the spicy Miso ramen. Don't get me wrong it was delicious and their broth was quite unique in a good way. The spicy broth kinda made my throat warm but not burnt. I could tell that wasn't Japanese style. I would say please don't expect it will be an authentic Japanese style like some ramen places in bigger cities. The pork chashu was smoky and delicious. The egg was cooked perfectly. The portion was perfect to make me feel balanced, not too much or too small. The calamari app was delicious but a bit greasy. I think this place is great for a quick meal or lunch. I can see myself really enjoy it especially during the winter time. The inside is so spacious and bright. Parking is in a complex so no problems. Service was great and attentive. read more

Came here for the first time the place is very nice lots of seating even have the cool side booths to sit on. I have seen they have shishito peppers and had been waiting to try them but they had ran out i guess it will be for the next time. I had the Yaki Soba it was yummy- they are not shy with the amount of chicken they give you. read more
My boyfriend and I came in for a late lunch on a Saturday for the first time. Love the interior and decor, definitely a cute, intimate spot for a quick bite. There were only two couples dining in when we arrived, so no wait. We both ordered shrimp shumai for appetizer. It was actually pretty delicious and I loved the sauce it came with, light and flavorful. I ordered the seafood ramen which was a seafood base broth with shrimp, scallops, bean sprouts, bok choy, and it was good but not amazing. The broth was sort of bland. Like nothing exciting or have any complex notes like a ramen broth should be. It's almost like I wanted to add the seasonings to it myself. Flavors were the only thing that really held this ramen back which is unfortunate because it truly has a lot of potential! Our waiter was a gentleman, didn't catch his name, but he was friendly. Not so much the rest of the staff, tsk. read more

Good service. Unfortunately food did not satisfy my craving for Ramen. Visit date 8/22/21 Ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen. Located in a nice neighborhood. Portion (expected a little more) + flavor (could be better) = score I gave read more
Really good ramen and easy to get to. Lots of seating and extremely attentive staff. Each ramen is $11.95 and a really good portion. Also got the karaag (think chicken wings/fried chicken) for $6.95 that we're all delicious. If you're looking for good, affordable, and authentic ramen you found your spot! read more
