    Lived in Japan, had some of the best Ramen out there. Oishii is not trying to compete with them. It's ok ramen, my $25 Tonkatsu ramen had two strips of pork belly, an unfermented egg, and was light on almost everything. 1) Just facts smaller bowl, $25+, light on all. 2) Green tea was a bag tea served in a strainer. 3) Staff was quick and nice so they have that going on. Place was quiet because no one was there.

    Delicious ramen and cute intimate space! There's one table in the whole restaurant and it's like a U-shaped bar. I ordered the black tonkatsu (garlic) and my partner ordered the regular tonkatsu. The black tonkatsu was really tasty and I preferred it over the original. Service was quick, I'd come back here, it felt really authentic!

    Found a discrete ramen restaurant right by Magnolia Hotel on Stout downtown. Oishii Ramen was small but had the traditional Japaneses ramen restaurant feel and ambience. The menu was simple with 6 types of ramen, 6 types of appetizers and a fried rice, which made the decision easy. The soup of the tonkotsu ramen was flavorful, the noodles were springy and chewy, the pork belly was well marinated, soft and tasty, and the boiled half egg was delightfully sweet, salty and umami. Overall quite satisfying, certainly worth a detour from the thoroughfare.

    Lackluster outside- Inside has a no thrills classic seating. Maybe this will be おいしい? Sadly, no! The photo looks good, but the gyoza was cold, I asked for an extra egg (I guess you only get the other 1/2 of the egg for 1.75)! The broth was just luke warm and the pork was cold and tough. You couldn't even heat the pork or egg in the broth because it was too cold. If you are looking for Hakata style noodles or a rich pork base broth go elsewhere. The broth seemed to be cooked for maybe 1 hour... So basic and flavorless. I really wanted to enjoy this- but left it and tried another shop around the corner that was much better! Don't waste your time here. Sorry! I've tried ramen from all the prefectures in Japan. This isn't worth the money or the Oishii name.

    Fantastic Ramen!! This spot delivered! The restaurant has a unique seating arrangement, but it works and I liked it as I came in for lunch! For dinner, I don't think it would work that well if you wanted a more intimate setting. Staff were very friendly and you paid in a similar format as a diner.

    My husband and I were on a trip in Denver a while back and we were in want of something warm for dinner. We found Oishii just by walking by and the vibe drew us in. The ambiance felt authentic and intimate. We ordered tea and Ramen and it was perfect. I don't remember which Ramen I had but the flavor was delicious and was not spicy (I did not want spicy). The service was exactly what it needed to be. They greeted us and took our order and once arrived didn't need to check on us multiple times, but as the only ones there didn't ignore us either. The food arrived quickly and there were no issues. If we were ever to go back to Denver, I would eat there again.

    As soon as you walk in, you immediately feel the traditional vibe this place offers. One thing I like is some tradition lol. The seating situation here is very different than what I'm used to at a ramen restaurant. It's very limited, and everyone shares a table that's the main reason why I didn't give this place 5 stars. If they had more seating, they for sure would've had 5 starts. If I were you, I would avoid coming during lunchtime because you'll be waiting for a seat. The service is great here. I'm pretty sure we got our food in under 10 mins. Speaking of which, the ramen here is solid! Small menu but really good nonetheless. I ordered the chashu bao and the black tonkatsu ramen. Both of which were really good. I've had bao's at a different ramen place in the area, and this place has them beat! Come treat yourself to great ramen :)

    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

    Absolutely delicious. Wow. What a find on a business trip. I had dumplings chicken and then pork bellies ramen. The broth in the ramen. Oh my! The dumplings were spitting when they were served.

    Green vegetable ramen with tofu
    Allison B.

    Came here a couple weeks ago. A friend was in town and happened upon Oishii Ramen while staying at a nearby hotel. We were trying to figure out a low-key place to grab a bite that wouldn't be overrun by convention goers and would also be satisfying on a cold winter night. This fit the bill. The dining area is intimate, probably can fit about 14 people around the horseshoe shaped countertop. When we arrived there were a couple other people seated. As we were finishing up though, a large group arrived and occupied most of the remaining seats. Food is served quickly however, so I anticipate even if the seats are full there wouldn't be too long a wait. I ordered the Green Vegetable Ramen with tofu, and my friend got the Black Tonkotsu Ramen with pork belly. The noodles were plentiful and the broth was fortunately not overly salty. I could have used one extra portion of tofu, but otherwise the veggie portions were appropriate. My friend's pork belly was good well and she very much enjoyed the garlic oil addition. We had a lot of catching up to do, and the server was kind enough not to rush us out, though we were mindful not to hog space if any new customers arrived. I can't say I'd go out of my way to go back, however if staying or working in the area, it's certainly worth a stop.

    Desperately looking for a place to defrost, anything broth-like sounded perfect. I was definitely hesitant, as I looked in the window, there was only one other patron dining on a Friday night and with my limited time in Denver... did I want to take the chance?? I decided to go for it. Walked in to a small open area with a U-shaped ramen bar and ordered the black tonkatsu with chicken. The chicken was a bit dry and flavorless, so I could have done without the meat entirely in that case. The ramen itself was decent, but I wouldn't put it on the top list of my food experiences. As for the egg, I've had tonkatsu in which the egg adds a nice punch. That wasn't the case here... it had a flavor (the egg) that I personally wasn't quite a fan of, so that may have contributed to my overall feeling. I did not finish my entire dish, but in part I was just full and had no desire to force the rest in to a full tummy. Service was quick and friendly. (Very friendly so I'd recommend going to form your own opinion!)

    they have one big curved table.

    Pork was dry and they only give you half an egg. The spicy tonkotsu is $18, not $12 like they list on their website. Service was fast.

The menu leans classic izakaya--small plates meant for sharing--but everything comes out with care and confidence. Skewers are grilled properly, not rushed, with just enough char to matter. The ramen is rich without being heavy, and the broth tastes like someone actually paid attention to it for hours. Even the simpler dishes feel deliberate, which isn't always the case with izakaya-style menus. The atmosphere hits a nice balance: lively without being chaotic, cozy without feeling cramped. It works just as well for a casual dinner as it does for lingering over drinks. Speaking of drinks, the sake and Japanese whiskey selection is thoughtful and well-paired to the food. Tatsu doesn't try to reinvent Japanese cuisine--it just executes it well.

Our server was amazing and explained the menu well and made some recommendations that did not disappoint. We ordered way to much food but I do not regret that because I got to try so many amazing dishes. Despite ordering so many options they even brought us a chilled tofu dish complimentary (no clue why but not complaining) and it was lovely! We shared the uncle salad (amazing!), thai shrimp, eggplant buns, several different nigiri/aburi nigiri and sashimi and the toro toro and spicy tuna roll. All of the sushi was fresh and had excellent pairing of accompaniments. The only dish that I remember being a miss was the soft shell crab buns. The proportion of bun to interior was off and there was way too much mayo. Everyone got their own ramen which they seemed to love. I ordered the Veggie Khao Soi per our servers recommendation and I am still thinking about it weeks later. It was a curry/ramen mix and had big chunks of trumpet mushrooms in it and the perfect amount of spice that I love.

    What a cute little place!!…read more It was late in the evening and I was getting hangry. I was craving ramen and Neko came up during my Yelp research. They were open late, so we decided to go. The restaurant was popping at 22:00 on a Friday. We were greeted warmly by staff. It was intriguing to us that we ordered via an iPad kiosk as if we were at a boba place, but we didn't mind. However, usually only to go orders are placed on a kiosk. In my hangry state of mind, I had not realized that Neko only serves their ramen with chicken broth, so for those of you who prefer tonkotsu broth, this isn't the place for you. For that reason, my husband had to order a chashu rice bowl instead. Personally, I enjoy both paitan and tonkotsu. I went with the black garlic ramen. It didn't take very long for our food to arrive. While we waited, we dispensed water for ourselves from the soda fountain. I was a little confused upon receiving my black garlic ramen, as I thought the black garlic oil would be more prominent. I was assured that I had the right bowl. My husband enjoyed his chashu rice bowl. I had a small bite and the pork was tender and well-seasoned. The paitan broth was very umami indeed. I would have liked to have more of a black garlic flavor, but it was still good. Next time I would just pay the extra $2 for more black garlic oil. The noodles were bouncy, and the chashu was tender. The egg was deliciously jammy (alas no photo because I devoured it). I saw they had soy sauce and hot sauce, but wish they had the classic chili powder so I could have added some to my ramen. Neko Ramen & Rice hit for late night noms, and the cat-themed decor all around (since Neko means cat in Japanese) was such a vibe. They also serve curry, poke, and various small bites if you want some apps to enjoy before your entrees. If you don't mind chicken broth for your ramen or will be ordering rice bowls instead, Neko is a fun little place to come dine at, especially since they open late.
