The vibe is fast and loud, but the servers are super efficient and communicative. I really liked the tokidoki roll and hamachikama. Hard to go wrong with those! The hamachi kama was HUGE. They give you the entier collar! I also liked the yaki ika which was very tasty, not rubbery at all. They have a lot of ramen on the menu which was a crowd pleaser for our group. Their edamame is also very spicy and quite good -- not your typical simply salted edamame. One thing I wouldn't order - the kimchi fried rice. One person in our party ordered it but it wasn't really fried rice, just kimchi and meat mixed with steamed white rice.

Jinya did not disappoint!…read more My toddler and I dined here one evening for dinner while visiting Denver. It's the heart of downtown so it's very accessible to get there with the free bus. It's a very intimate space and it gets packed quickly. My server, Stiva, was the bomb.com! He was sooo pleasant and attentive. He made the dining experience even better. Now the food is delicious! The black tonkotsu was filling and flavorful. What surprised me was the kids meal! Man, she got so much food, delicious food! Her entire tray was larger than the adult tray. Now that's a kids meal! The kiwi sparkler was a cute refreshing mocktail. My daughter enjoyed the rock candy! I would absolutely recommend Jinya as a dinner option in downtown Denver!

Uncle is a small, Asian fusion shrine that one should place on your must visit list. In the Northwest area of Denver, Uncle has limited seating and a show if you sit at the bar. Reservations are strongly suggested and well worth the wait. Crazy combinations, flavor bombs throughout and a culinary delight you won't regret. Tonight, we sat at the bar and watched the magic happen. These guys are cranking out amazing and delectable treats you won't forget. The Uncle salad was a great starter with charred cabbage, lemongrass, mint, cilantro, arugula, and peanuts lightly coated in a Thai coconut dressing. A slight burn only leaving you to crave just one more bite, ha! The fried soft shell crab in a bao bun with green papayo slaw, coconut mayo and cilantro nam prik was sweet, perfect crunch and memorable. Two for two with one dish left. The cold spicy sesame noodles with seasoned chicken, granny Smith apple slivers, arugula, cashews and nanami togorashi, a perfect closing dish for an exceptional meal. The service, food quality, flavors and preformance from the bar seats were second to none. The concept, portion size, flavor and cost were a real treat in the big city food scene of Denver. If you haven't been here yet, get to the internet and book a table, I promise you won't regret it. To the staff, chefs, and all members of Uncle, thank you for a surprising and incredibly great meal, we will return on our future trips to Denver.

Noodles are a regular fixture when we want a quick fix and our version of fast food. With plenty of seating on this Monday evening, our party of three were seated immediately. Menus and water arrived shortly and we perused the menu. They have a decent selection of ramen, udon, soup noodles, stir-fry noodles, rice bowls, and poke bowls. They also have a few izakaya options perfect for sharing. * Black Tonkotsu $18 - The Little Guy got this and slurped the whole thing up, even the wood ear mushrooms which he usually leaves behind. He actually asked to return the next day because he loved it so much and just loved it. 5/5 * Menya Special $16.50 - I got this one and it was fine. Although I think I was a bit jealous as the Black Tonkotsu looked like it had different kind of noodles. The egg was perfectly cooked. 4/5 * Udon $16.50 - The Little Gal had this as she is a fan of udon any day. She ate pretty much the whole thing herself. Overall, Menya Noodle Bar served its purpose. It's a no-frills kind of place in a prime location.

This continues to be one of my favorite ramen spots. We stopped in today while running errands in…read morethe area. We tried the gyoza on this visit. They were fried a little crispier than what I usually see. I thought they were tasty. The dipping sauce was excellent. Spicy Beef Noodles was a new menu item and I tried it. I quite enjoyed the dish. It was very flavorful with a soft-boiled egg (I added a second one), corn, scallions, sesame seeds, fried onions, and spiced beef. The presentation of the dish was beautiful and colorful with a section for each component on top of the noodles, surrounding the eggs. The items blended nicely as I mixed them together. A very satisfactory version of this dish. The ground beef really mixed the meat flavor throughout the dish and was much easier to eat than the usual chunks of beef. My girlfriend tried the Creamy Vegan Ramen with chili oil, butter corn, baby spinach, bean sprouts, fried onions, and scallions. It came with a vegan "meat" and broth. It was reasonably spicy, but she felt it was under seasoned. A new addition was a couple of large computer screens on which to order and pay. These provided large pictures of each dish and were easy to use. The staff remained their usual helpful and friendly selves.

Neko Ramen and Rice was definitely worth the drive up to Denver! When I first walked in, I was…read moreimmediately happy to see the cat and neon lofi aesthetic they had going on. Ordering was a bit confusing at first. When you order, you have to use a kiosk to choose what you want, which is the easy part. They have a lot of choices all categorized in an easy-to-read format. The confusing part is making sure you pick a table number and noting it on the kiosk at the last stage of ordering before you pay. The food was delivered quickly and it was delicious! I had the Vegan Ramen with the black garlic broth and it was a tasty combination. The gyoza was also fairly good as well. I was happy to visit for my birthday and look forward to visiting this place again!

Service was fast, perhaps a little too quick! The ramen came out just a few minutes after the seaweed salad and edamame were delivered to my table, so I really didn't have much time to enjoy them. I dived into my ramen while it was still hot and by the time I finish my bowl, I was too full for the starters so I packed them to go. The ramen was very tasty, bold in flavor yet not overly salty. Definitely recommend the spicy tonkotsu!

This is a Japanese restaurant that's occasionally on our rotation for casual date night…read more That said, it's doesn't really have a proper izakaya vibe and a little bit more upscale. 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.

One of the first ramen places I went to when I first came here to Denver 5 years ago. The idea of…read moreramen-Vietnamese flavor combo was fascinating, and Sera's Ramen Enclave did not dissapoint. 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.

So we decided to get a hot bowl of ramen to clear ourselves right up. I have to admit while we have had pretty good ramen in Colorado nothing has blown us away. This place did just that. If you are looking for the most authentic bowl of ramen anywhere within a 20-30 Radius of Denver this is your spot. I got the sesame pork belly ramen bowl and my wife the chicken dashi and both were spectacular. I know this sounds like a lot of exaggerating but no notes. Seriously ZERO! Take all my money whoever you are, Sera! PS I'm very impressed the other reviewers had enough self control to take pictures before they ate. Our food didn't stand a chance.

I also tried a yuzu gin cocktail that was perfectly balanced. The mochi at the end were a little too sweet for my taste, but did taste light real fruit! I preferred the green tea one. The table we were at was situated half inside and half on the patio, which allowed for a nice view, breeze, and people-watching. Service was pretty good but could have been slightly more attentive.

Tender pork, garlic chips, egg, all mixed together, it's a simple sounding dish that ends up being the best thing on the table.
