    Uncle is our go to comfort food place! We're usually here atleast once every six months for their veggie khao soi, bao buns and ramen. Service is always top notch and very attentive. Highly recommend making a reservation especially if you plan visiting during the weekends

    Went there last night with the kiddos after an evening at the art museum. The weather had dipped and apparently that means Uncle is popping. 1.5 hour wait on a Tuesday night!! But... the team was kind, sweet, and sat us as quickly as they could. The service was amazing.. they were so sweet and welcoming to younger guests and have a great kids menu (highly recommend the avocado roll... my daughter devoured it). We also had the spicy chicken ramen. Loved the broth but I much prefer their pork belly to their chicken thigh. We got the veg khao soi soup which is a beautiful flavorful curry. We added pork belly. My son loved it!! We had a wonderful night!

    I love everything about this place. The food, the ambiance, the service....It's so good.

    I have not visited the original Uncle, but this new location is much more convenient, so we decided to check it out. The restaurant is spacious and takes up the corner of the building, but the entrance is odd and obscure. The address is in very large letters, "95 SOUTH PENNSYLVANIA," but there is only a small ramen bowl and a tiny, "UNCLE," at the bottom left. These are on a glass wall to the left of the entrance. The door itself is completely unmarked. Once you negotiate a very cramped foyer and go through the second door into the restaurant, you find a bright and airy, contemporary space with huge windows, an open kitchen, a high ceiling, and blonde furniture. The space is L-shaped with counter seating in front of the kitchen and lots of tables. There's a bar to the right of the entrance, but it's just a workstation without seating. The menu includes sushi rolls, small plates, buns, and ramen. We started with the pork and cabbage dumplings which came in an elegant bowl, sitting in a pool of soy, chili oil, scallions, and cilantro. These were quite tasty with a bit of a kick. We each ordered the duck ramen as our main course on the recommendation of our charming and enthusiastic server. This has a chicken and pork-based shoyu broth with confit duck leg, arugula, corn, a soft-poached egg, Japanese seven spice togarashi (a classic spice blend with heat, citrus, and umami), scallions, and noodles, of course. The broth was very flavorful and the shichimi (togarashi) did the trick. The presentation was beautiful and the ingredients were fine. The soft-poached egg was perfect. Confit seems ubiquitous on menus these days, but it is a difficult, time-consuming process to handle correctly. I did not find the "confit" duck that great. It was OK, but definitely not as tender and flavorful as it could have been. My elderly friend had a hard time with the soup. The presentation was pretty authentic with a whole egg, very long strands of noodles, and large pieces of the duck. Even with a fork he had difficulty negotiating this. It's probably a general comment about ramen, but if you're not experienced with chopsticks, it can be difficult to eat. The staff was extremely friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. The tables were kept spotless at all times, the food came out in a timely way, and everything ran well. It was a nice experience.

    First time trying Uncle but definitely not my last. The restaurant itself is stunning and clean. The service was excellent. Perhaps most importantly though the food was all delicious. The pork belly bao buns melted in your mouth, the spicy tuna roll was tasty, and the Jiro ramen was excellent! Cannot wait to go back!!

    I had never been here before and we had the best server! She took her time running down the menu and giving us great suggestions. My all time favorite item was the tofu, I'm not even a big tofu perfect but this dish was phenomenal. The spicy chicken Ramen was tasty. Overall a great experience!

    First time here after hearing so many great things about it, and it lived up to the hype. Love that this location allows reservations! Our waitress and all the food runners were really great. It was my friend's birthday and they gave us an app on the house which was super nice! This place is not as a ramen spot, but don't sleep on all the other options-- the chicken Katsu and the beef rib panang were SO GOOD. The chilled tofu was surprisingly really good too. It's not something I would've ordered on my own, but it was the dish They gifted us and I'm really glad I got to try it. The Bao buns were also so so good. You really can't go wrong here.

    Walked in for two and got a spot at the bar around the kitchen right away. Service was prompt and everything was DELICIOUS. Ramen orders can't be modified.

    My second time dining at this location and had such a great experience - again! Everything I've ever ordered from here is great! In the past, I've ordered the duck ramen and the chashu ramen which I've liked. This time, we got TSUKEMEN, the UNCLE SALAD, and the CRISPY CHICKEN KATSU. Lemme tell ya 10/10. No notes. Everything was delicious, not too salty, flavors were perfect. I think they changed their menu and now sell sushi? Can't wait to come back and try that Service was great as always! So many helpful and attentive people around, you never have to wait too long for anything you need.

    Tucked away in the heart of West Wash Park, Uncle is a ramen lover's haven; frankly, it's a place that I've become quite enchanted with. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by a sleek, modern interior, all clean lines and warm wood accents. My husband and I are particularly fond of the counter overlooking the kitchen, where the well-orchestrated ballet of cooks craft each bowl with precision and finesse. It's a chef's theater, and the spectacle is mesmerizing. We've developed a rapport with Angela, who embodies everything a stellar server should be: attentive, warm, and uncannily good at remembering faces. Her thoughtful service adds a comforting layer to an already cozy experience. It's as though every interaction is wrapped in the same care and attention as the food. When it comes to drinks, my husband will get a white wine, but I'm drawn to Uncle's gin and tonic on tap. Crafted with Bluecoat gin, lemongrass, Sichuan, and tonic, it's a bright, herbaceous burst of flavor that dances between citrus and spice, leaving you refreshed yet intrigued by its complexity. It's the kind of drink you want to linger over while watching the kitchen crew work their magic. Now, let's talk food, starting with the eggplant buns. These clouds of joy are a revelation. I'm not one for eggplant, or mayo for that matter, but Uncle has managed to convert me. The eggplant is perfectly cooked--never mushy, with just the right amount of bite. Paired with the soft bao bun, fresh slaw, and a hint of mayo, it's an umami-packed bite that will make even the staunchest of eggplant haters reconsider their stance. My Japanese mother would sing praises to the chef who convinced me to love a vegetable I've resisted for years. On to the ramen, where Uncle truly shines. The Tokyo Shoyu is my go-to, a bowl of warmth that feels like a comforting hug on a cold fall night. The light chicken shoyu broth is rich yet not overpowering, with layers of umami goodness from the soy sauce. And then there's the pork belly--three thick slices that melt in your mouth, accompanied by tender arugula, scallions, and the pièce de résistance: the ajitama egg, with its perfectly gooey yolk. At $20, it's a generous serving, and worth every penny. For those craving a bit more spice, the Duck Ramen is a revelation. The shoyu broth, deepened by both pork and chicken, serves as the backdrop for the confit duck, which is tender and flavorful. The togarashi adds just the right amount of heat, while the arugula, corn, and scallions bring a fresh crunch. It's a bold, hearty bowl that leaves you warm and satisfied. A word to the wise: if you haven't snagged a reservation online, don't despair. Get there right at 5 p.m., and you're likely to score a coveted counter spot. Watching the magic unfold in the kitchen is reason enough to sit there, but with a menu this stellar, it's the best seat in the house. Uncle is one of those rare gems where the food is both familiar and exciting, where every bite feels like a discovery. It's not just a ramen shop--it's an experience, and one that I find myself craving again and again. Parking can be a challenge, since it is all on street, but after a big bowl of ramen, you can walk it off

    We've been loyal customers for years and have always enjoyed the food here--it's consistently delicious and full of bold, exciting flavors. That said, our experience during this recent visit left us disappointed and frustrated. We ordered one of our usual favorites, the Dan Dan Noodles, and as we've done in the past, requested that the peanuts be left off. This time, we were told they could not accommodate that request because they want the dish to remain "authentic." Strangely, we were allowed to remove corn from another dish in the same order, so the policy on modifications felt inconsistent at best. When the Dan Dan Noodles arrived, it became clear that the peanuts weren't integrated into the sauce or cooked into the dish--they were simply sprinkled on top as a garnish. So the refusal to leave them off felt unnecessarily rigid, especially since it would have been an easy adjustment. Adding to the confusion, the menu lists Chinese broccoli as part of the dish, but both of our orders came without it. If the kitchen is insisting on sticking to the listed ingredients for authenticity, it was frustrating to see that standard not applied to their own preparation. We even called their other location, where we usually dine, and were told that while the dish does include peanuts, they are happy to leave them off when requested. It's disappointing to see this level of inconsistency between locations, especially when it affects the guest experience. We still love the flavors and creativity of the food, but this kind of inflexibility--paired with a lack of follow-through on their own standards--makes us hesitant to return.

    Duck Ramen

    So very, very delicious! Uncle is the place to go for ramen, buns, and bowls in Denver. Uncle is very well known and liked in Denver so thankfully we had a reservation as the wait for walk-ins on a Thursday at 6:30 was reaching over an hour! This was the Uncle on Penn. There is an additional location in the Highlands as well. I opted for the duck ramen as it had been recommended to me three times that evening by three separate individuals. I also split the pork belly bao buns with my friend. Bao buns were 10/10 delicious. Highly recommend! The duck ramen was good. It was flavorful and had just the right spice to it. The noodles were outstanding and the duck was prepared to perfection. It was a good, hardy meal but had a taste of my friend's curry ramen and was immediately jealous of her dish. So, when I go back, I will be ordering the curry! Uncle is a trendy place, very modern and serves up some great food!

    If you see a steakhouse sign, look to your left and you will see Uncle. There is no visible sign when you're walking on the streets to see this restaurant. It was packed as soon as they opened. The quality of the food is delicious! I got the Tokyo Shoyu and the broth was great. It's not authentic ramen but it is delicious! The soft crab shell bao buns are amazing! I could eat 20 of those. The service was friendly and quick. Great place for date night and girls night. I don't recommend for huge groups. Lots of free street parking in the area.

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.

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.

    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.

    Absolutely love this place! Came here as a party of two on a…read moreweeknight, which was lucky because we didn't have a reservation and if it was just a little busier, we wouldn't have been sat at all. We got a cute high top table by the window, their seating is comfortable, even the hightop chairs have backs. The drinks here are delicious, I got the lychee margarita and it was perfect, not too sweet and comes with a real lychee on a skewer, which is a lovely pairing. To eat, I got my favorite aburi tuna, which I always make sure to try if a place has them. It was so good, I love the seared flavor and the fish was so fresh, the texture was perfect. We also got the fried rice, it is served with the staff, mixing the yolk of an egg into the dish at the table in front of you. This made it so rich and delicious, and felt like a show. I was really impressed by the rice itself too, nothing simple about it. The flavors were so dynamic, and everything was cooked to perfection. We also had the black miso cod, this might have been the highlight dish. It was so tender and supple, melting at the touch of a fork and even better in your mouth. The flavors were unbelievable, and it leaves you wanting more. The area is pretty central to wash park, a quick five or 10 minute walk over to Broadway after dinner is easy and accessible too. Totally will be back
