⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Neko Ramen & Rice – Denver, CO Absolutely loved this spot. I ordered the kimchi, takoyaki (octopus balls), and the black garlic ramen, and everything hit perfectly. The eggs were cooked just right—soft, rich, and exactly how ramen eggs should be. The broth was deep and flavorful without being overwhelming, and the takoyaki was crispy on the outside and tender inside. If you’re looking for Denver ramen or an amazing black garlic ramen, this place is a must-visit.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Had a craving for some ramen, always love trying some in the states we visit. This place is located in a mini plaza, kind of hidden but seems to be very busy! The decor is very cute, the seating is okay but does give off more of a casual restaurant vibe. You can order via kiosk if you don't wanna talk to someone directly. As for the ramen, I got the mi-so hot. The spiciness level was perfect. No surprise spicy kick, its a very smooth spicy flavor. The noodles were cooked really well and tasted fresh. Drink wise they have a soda fountain you can refill from if you purchase a cup. All in all a really good place for a quick and delicious ramen. Would come again if I ever visit Denver

Didn’t even get a chance to take photos because I started eating right away. The broth was deep and clean, noodles had great texture, and everything felt well balanced. The atmosphere alone is worth the visit - strong Japanese vibe with fun wall art, warm lighting, and neon maneki neko details.
