    Egg salad Sando

    Always like to eat here. Ramen broth is so tasty. Introduced my friend to this place and she loved it. She added shoyu and chili to her broth. I may have to add chili next time. Server helpful and friendly.

    Look, it's a restaurant in the airport, I get it. It's busy. If I could do a half rating, I'd give it a 3.5/5. We were seated fairly quickly, but there aren't many seats. They do have bar seating. There seemed to only be one waitress, and she was working her butt off. We got our order taken and waters. And then we waited. And waited. And waited for half an hour. Somehow they forgot to either input or make our order- luckily we weren't in a rush. I got the Tokyo Shoyu, and I'm a bit torn on it. The broth was essentially flavorless- I added soy sauce and chili oil to try and liven it up and it barely helped. The pork belly is outstanding though! Thick cut and tender. Decent portion of noodles.

    I think this is the best airport food I've ever had that's not from a lounge, and it's no wonder because I learned that Uncle has other locations in Denver and a lot of people really love it! I ordered their spicy chicken ramen, and it was so delicious. The broth was really creamy and not too spicy, and the chicken was very soft and juicy. I loved the ramen noodle texture, and I added corn (which they added a lot of). Despite them only having one server taking care of the entire floor, she was so good and service was excellent!

    I'm so glad that I had time before my connecting flight to have a bite at the Denver Airport. I don't expect much from airport food but MAN!!! This ramen was so delicious. The broth was so creamy and rich. The pork was tender, juicy and so flavorful. The noodles were perfectly al dente. If you're in the Denver Airport and have a minute, this is a must try. It rivals other ramen shops!!

    Had to stop by Uncle Restaurant when I saw the menu and they were serving Ramen. It was a cold rainy afternoon in Denver and I need something hot. I was promptly seated, given a menu, and was able to order right away. The Chicken Ramen was amazing, the broth is perfect, the ramen was cooked right, and was served hot. Service was fast and quick. They have a bar if you're into sake and cocktails. Casual and cozy ambiance. Check it out!

    Our connecting flight to LAX was upon us in 50minutes and with the gate nearby, we decided this noodle/Ramen shop was going to be the fast eatery to dine in and take off (no pun). We saw that the line to dine in was not that long and got in right away. The waiter noticed us and after clearing the bowls from the previous customers, we were seated immediately without fail. Our waiter got us all a round of water and proceeded to get our orders. Looking around, there are roughly 6 tables seating 2 to 4 persons and a ramen bar area seating about 8 person stool. A nice wall with liquor and beer draft is situated by the ramen bar. We ordered the Tokyo Shoyu and Duck Shoyu Ramen. Within less than 10 mins the noodles arrived piping hot and looking very delicious. Three slices of pork belly and a half medium egg is laced in the middle. The broth is very well made and just about right. Very delicious and to the point. You can add some ingredients to your liking but it is already the best to be enjoyed as is. Different not bad for a quick dine in at an airport setting. I'm recommending this place for our next flight through Denver at Concourse A.

    Uncle is my go to dinner when I find myself in the airport around lunch or dinner time. I haven't been to the restaurant location so I'm not sure how it compares - but for airport food it is pretty good. I always get the pork belly noodle dish and that runs about $23 but is filling. I've never sat in the restaura side but I like to take it to go and sit on the outdoor patio at the end of the A concourse. Sometimes it can be a touch salty or oily, but the arugula does a good job of cutting it.

    Raichi martini

    Absolutely delicious. Great food, great staff, great music. They have joined the "Clean Plate Club" in my book, so I will make effort to stop by when I pass through DIA again. You can order To-go or sit down, as they have tabled enough for individuals or small groups. I ordered the "Pork Belly Noodle Bowl" which was the perfect amount. Filling but not heavy, garlicky with perfectly marinated and cooked pork belly cubes. The arugula and garlic gave the bowl a wonderful crunch while the pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth tender. With the Raichi Martini, it was a fantastic meal. It was a highlight in what was otherwise a long, tiresome day of travel. Thank you to their team.

    Pork belly ramen
    Janice O.

    Settled having ramen here as I needed to eat something and thought soup would be good. Everyone was pleasant, but the prices are high. The one bowl I got was good, but not worth the price. I took it to go and ate it on the concourse. They do have a small seating area though. I'll need to pass next time I'm flying through just on prices alone.

    Tim T.

    Decent ramen restaurant but the price markup is high, average of $20+ for a bowl of ramen and the cheapest entry was just $20 even. I posted it was "skyway robbery" but maybe being at the airport they have to charge much higher for the exorbitant rent - not sure what the prices are at the brick and mortar location but it reminded me when I was in the Brickell location of Miami for a clerkship interview with a U.S. District Judge in the Southern District of Florida, one ramen restaurant was charging $30+ per bowl maybe to offset the high rent. I got the dried noodle pork belly one which was good. Check it out if you are around Terminal A of the Denver Airport!

    Pork Belly Mazamen - YUM
    Lucy Y.

    Super delish - & not just for airport food! Pork Belly Mazamen - chewy fresh noodles, bright arugula & scallion, a load of crispy onion, a perfectly seasoned jammy egg & unctuous pork belly chunks I also got a side of chicken (thigh) thinking it may be more soy flavored - but it was plain, which would make sense in the cold sesame noodles. Service in the dine in area was spot on & warm. It felt more like a noodle house experience than airport food, in a memorable way. Definitely worth it!

    Spicy garlic ramen with chicken
    Melanie M.

    i really dont leave bad reviews, but food was riddled with artifical flavors and low quality ingredients considering the price. however, service was fast and so kind.

    Alice Z.

    Wanted to try something new in the A concourse at DEN. Stopped by Uncle and had no issues getting a table. Service was quick and attentive. Got the shoyu Tokyo ramen...pork was very tender and broth was delicious. Great for a quick meal in the airport!

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.

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.

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.

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.

    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.
