Good atmosphere. I had kimchi ramen . I like all stuff they put in the bowl but the broth was too salty for me. My husband had duck ramen he likes it especially they put apple and arugula as a topping

Vegetarians ! Get the Spicy Chicken , sub tahini broth and fried tofu for chicken . It's UNREAL and better than the veggie ramen on the menu.

Eater

This spot dishes out outstanding ramen dishes, noodles bowls , and spectacular kimchi stew . In a modern decor , Uncle is a great choice for a casual dinner packed with Momofuku-inspired flavors.

Tee Tran

The only sign for this restaurant is on the glass door. You won't be seated until your entire party arrives. Try the brussel sprouts , shrimp/pork belly buns & the spicy chicken ramen . Enjoy!

Rayna

Got the chasu ramen a couple months ago with the spicy bacon jam . Me and my boyfriend were pretty much crying it was so good. Worth the wait and we had fun at the bar watching them make our food!

Megan Haeffele

I didn't think I cared much for ramen until Uncle. The spicy chicken bowl blew my mind. Still dreaming about that broth and those delicious noodles .

Darlene Templeton

the shrimp steamed buns were yummy!!Loved the spicy mayo on them. My friend had the duck ramen ; it was great!!I was so jealous. I had the miso ramen , it was good but I regretted not getting the duck

Eater

The Momofuku-esk dishes at Tommy Lee's LoHi noodle shop are still just as popular as they were when the restaurant opened last year. Must try: kimchi ramen . [Eater 38 Member]

Katie H.

Pork belly buns and duck ramen were both savory and delicious. The staff should ask people who are done eating & then talk for an hour to clear out a table. Skip the two hour wait and order take out .

Webb Henderson

Don't sleep on the edamame and chilled tofu . They're both amazing — Also there is always a wait...so plan for a beer or two at Highland Tap & Burger once you're on the list.

Brandon Anamier

If you are vegetarian order the cold spicy sesame noodles , sub crispy tofu ! The Yuzu Sour cocktail is on my bucket list of best Denver cocktails as well ! Come eat here and tip FAT!

Nicole Binuya

Any choice is a good choice. Come early or be ready to wait though! It's popular for a reason. (I would recommend the pork belly bao or duck ramen .)

Sofia Figueroa

Chasu ramen w/ 7 spice chichi sauce & unfiltered sake ! Long wait , they'll text you when your table is ready. Head down the street to Williams & Graham speakeasy for a cocktail .

Ivan Karpan

Spicy chicken ramen is a must! Get some lager or ale to work through the spicy part

David

Enjoyed the Duck ramen , and softshell crab steamed buns . Creative and tasty cocktails ; 'Spicy Mule' and 'Modern Whiskey ' were exceptional.

Denver Westword

People from northwest Denver as well as across town crowd the cramped, counter-driven storefront eatery , eager to try everything on the limited menu Read more

Kaila Mazzy

This is the best ramen that you can get in Denver. I highly suggest getting any and everything, it is a bit pricey but well worth it.

Steve Samson

I gravitate toward the Spicy Chicken Ramen and the Cold Noodle Bowls (they used to make a spicy cashew chicken cold noodle bowl you might be able to ask for)

Neil Robertson

The Kimchi is a must! Also, try the brussels sprouts and do not skip out on one of the steamed bums. I suggest the pork belly . Yes, you'll leave quite full!

Kevin Ripper

Yes it's really trying to be Momofuku. Yes it isn't exactly as authentic as it is hip . Yes it tastes fucking great. If it tastes good, authenticity be damned.

Erica Wenzel

BBQ Bun , spicy chicken ramen and hipsters , in quaint highlands neighborhood . Very pleased with the service, atmosphere and meal. Kinda pricy for me though.

Ashley Delehanty

BEST RAMEN IN DENVER! GO RIGHT AT 4:45 otherwise there will be a wait.

Sarah Cowell

The chili mazeman ramen is a very tasty dish with just the right amount of spice. But beware, there's no broth. It's almost more of a stir fry style. Still worth it!!

Asha

Beware Friday and Saturday nights the wait is around 2 hours. Pork belly buns and spicy chicken ramen (not actually spicy but tasty) are good.

Ryan Tauer

Ramen is unbelievable. Great service. Get there early to beat the wait.

Benjamin Blackmer

Best ramen in Denver so far. Super crowded . Go during a weeknight or have a drink next door.

Jordan White

Get the fried eggplant bao bun ! It’s my favorite food in the whole world.

Nick Davis

AMAZING ramen and atmosphere. This place gets really busy so get there early.

Heather North

Unless you get here well before open, be prepared to wait. But it's worth it! Skip the pricey drinks and get more tasty food instead.

Christine H

Good noodle bowls , but pricey with a long wait . My non-spicy dish was spicier than the dish the waiter warned us about. Excellent service though!

El Calixo

Ask for the pork belly buns crispy ... So good!

Jimmy Lu

Ramen was good, but wife didn’t like the lamb bowl

Pat M

Do yourself a favor and get some shrimp or pork belly steamed buns .

Germaine Baron

It was good, but it really doesn't compare at all to ramen in Japan and Okinawa the broth is really missing something. I would still recommend it to friends.

Garrett Motzner

Good ramen indeed, super friendly staff . Good place for eating solo.

Matthew Lopez

Get here really early. No Reservations taken, and waits are frequently long, long. If you want it fast...order takeout .

Brandon Makes

A ramen spot that basically is a carbon copy of Momofuku in NYC. Really good.

Jenny Hart

Loved the pork buns and the duck ramen was very tasty

Christian Knapp

Ridiculously good chicken ramen , but you'll have to wait.

Kansas Rivir

Best Ramen ... Ever !! So far

T Callahan

Changed my ramen game forever. Steamed buns are excellent too.

Bfortch Fortch

very solid ramen spot. pork belly buns rule.

Jonathan

Sit at the bar and watch the chefs make every dish. Really cool.

Chefs Feed

Steve Redzikowski , chef of OAK at fourteenth, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Steamed shrimp buns . Read more

Patrick Hackett

You can't lose with the pork steamed buns . Bibimbap is another fantastic choice.

Eric Elkins

Lots of potential - noodle bowls are HUGE. Crab Tots order is almost too much for two people, but tasty!

Richard Bellenbaum

I don't like their Ramen . Place is absurdly packed all the time. Takes like 20 minutes just to pickup takeout (even when you arrive 10 minutes after it is supposed to be ready).

Taylor Marsh

ramen , pork belly buns , hitachino nest white ale

Jason Bellows

Anything, but don’t make a rookie mistake; get the “umami-bomb”

Dean

Duck ramen is pretty good but salty. Get here early, it gets REAL crowded
