Went on a Friday night, and it wasn't busy until about 7:15-7:30 pm. The ambiance was fairly laid back and quiet. Minimal decor around but nice and tasteful. Started off with some apps: the french fries were okay. However the gyoza was amazing. Nice and crispy! The ramens we ordered were all okay. The tonkatsu could definitely use a bit more salt and flavor. The Ramen Star was slightly better but just very slightly needed more salt and a little more flavor. Noodles were all good, not too bad. The sushi portion was, surprising. Nigiri set had tuna with blue cheese, not my cup of tea. All were prepared with wasabi which is traditional but felt it was overpowering unfortunately. The spicy tuna crispy rice was okay. The bell peppers were a bit too much. Overall it was an okay place. Not amazing but not terrible. Ramen service was a bit slower than typical but didnt come out scolding hot, so just a difference. read more

A new chef is in town and it shows. We came here for the first time since Ramen Star changed ownership. The new menu delighted. Gone were the stuffy, large dishes that were heavy and overwhelming. In were perfectly portioned "small" sizes so you can try multiple bites of your favorite new dishes. We took advantage of the Ramen + 20% of Sushi Roll combo. I had a small Ramen Star and a tempora crab sushi roll. The noodles were fresh with a slight bounce and the Ramen Star broth still held my favorite ramen umami. The new owner was a head sushi chef at Sushi Den. The staff is attentive and everything delivered. I will be back! read more

Went to the Junction food hall with friends and ordered from Ebisu. They offered a good selection of both sushi and ramen. I got the spicy miso tonkatsu ramen. It came out to right around $22 after tax and tip, which I did feel was expensive for ramen. They gave me a buzzer for it, and it was a little bit before I was paged to pickup my food. The broth was very flavorful and the tonkatsu cooked well. If this were around $5 cheaper, would be perfect. Very yummy and filling though. read more

Ebisu is a treat for those who love sushi and ramen! I love that you can get a half serving of ramen with a sushi roll. I always get stuck in the dilemma of choosing between ramen and sushi, so not having to choose was AWESOME! I got the spicy black garlic tonkotsu and it was excellent! I love that kimchi is used to spice things up. It had a rich broth with a lovely black garlic oil that really set it off. I would come back for the ramen alone! But, back to the sushi, I got the spicy tuna. I really enjoyed it too! I love that kimchi is a prevalent flavor in their food as someone who loves kimchi. I doubt there is anything that would be bad on the menu here. I had the hardest time choosing something to eat before going to see a movie across the street. Definitely try something with black garlic though! read more

This place was fantastic. We both got small black truffle tonkotsu ramen for $12 each. This was fantastic! The only negative was my egg was cold and the meat was warm, not hot. Even with that, it was the best. A bit of a drive for us but I would go back. I would try some of their sushi items next time too. Highly recommend. And their kimchi that was in the ramen was really great and I am picky with my kimchi! read more

I can't believe it's been two years since visiting Ebisu. This time I came with friends on a windy hot summer day, thinking the Spicy Kimchi Tonkotsu Tsukemen would be a great idea. It was perfect! Delicious, cold, refreshing, and flavorful. I feel like the menu has expanded over the last several years. Same authentic and friendly service. Now that another favorite vendor at Junction Food & Drink closed down, I think this has become my go-to. read more

For a $18 bowl of ramen, I had higher expectations. The toppings were good, egg was cooked perfectly, I liked having a choice of noodles, but the broth lacked depth of flavor and that salty umami. I haven't been able to find the perfect bowl of ramen in Denver yet, unfortunately. read more

Seeking to sample all the things at Junction Food Hall, my husband and I chose to start our adventure with a couple rolls (California and Spicy Tuna Crunch) from Ebisu Ramen and Sushi. PROs: ++ Everything was super fresh! This literally Makes or breaks the California roll and their's passes the test. ++ The presentation was on point. The rolls were rolled up perfectly, topped with garnish and drizzles, and served up with ample wasabi and ginger, yum! ++ Our order was prepared quickly without sacrificing quality! ++ They feature a variety of both traditional and creative takes on rolls. For instance the "crunch" in the spicy tuna crunch roll comes from tempura fried long beans and green onion! CONs: -- The prices were a bit steep. At $9 and $18.50 respectively my wallet was feeling the pressure, but sometimes you gotta treat yo'self. Ebisu Ramen and Sushi was definitely the perfect way to kick off our Junction Food Hall adventure. While I'm not often in the area, I'd consider making a special trip to check out more of their menu offerings. read more

After picking up my Yelpie ("Writer of the Year" baby!) and surveying the various booths at Junction Food Hall, I found myself eying the menu at Ebisu Ramen and Sushi for lunch. Springs rolls, hand rolls, sushi and ramen comprise the massive menu with pictures of each dish - which literally made me drool! I ultimately decided on an order of the Spicy Tuna & Triple Crunch Roll which consisted of spicy tuna, avocado, cucumber, mango salsa, Japanese rice crunch, crunch mix, triple sauce (sweet soy sauce, green garlic aioli, spicy aioli)! After scanning the QR code at the window, I simply placed my order online and picked it up about 7 minutes later! My plate looked gorgeous in presentation and featured a side of soy sauce and ginger - which totally balanced the plate and palate! The tuna was spicy and delicious while the outer layer offered the perfect amount of crunch! YUM! The roll was much bigger than anticipated and totally hit the spot! For the quality of fish, it makes sense as to why this roll is so expensive, however, be prepared to pay a pretty penny. Pricing for sushi varies from $9-$19 per roll, while the ramen bowls range from $10-18 a bowl. Although delicious, my meal was a whopping $18.50 for 8 pieces of sushi which had me a little shook! However, as stated above, the quality of ingredients makes up for the price tag. When back at Junction, I'd return here for another round of sushi. read more

Amazing, Ramen and sushi spot in the food hall!! The rolls are extremely balanced and very consistent. It's also great that they have a small, small and large Ramen so you have options with many different flavors. We stopped in randomly on a Sunday and they were having a special on most of the sushi rolls so it's also a great time to go if you are looking to try it for the first time! The staff is also very friendly and the same people are always there, so I think that leans into the consistency of their product. Must try! read more

This was a pleasant and humbling surprise! The ramen was PHENOMENAL. All caps necessary. Ebisu Ramen and Sushi is a goldmine inside Junction Food and Drink. What's the story morning glory? I had an event, packed up the car, and desperately needed dinner. Junction is right off the highway and since I wasn't craving anything in particular, I felt like going to a food hall with plenty of options was the move. I walked in (Monday night at 8:45pm) and only two stalls were open. This narrowed down my decision quickly and Ebisu was what I landed on. And god almighty, it was oh so satisfying! For starters, the space is wonderfully decorated for a food stall. They have a small counter you can sit at with those eye-popping lanterns. The service was friendly, albeit they were closing soon, and the woman who rang me up made sure my order came with lots of spicy sauce. Pro tip, you can actually select the noodles for your ramen! + Spicy Black Garlic Oil Tonkotsu // braised pork belly, marinated soft boiled egg, kimchi, chive, green onion, bean sprouts, wood ear mushroom, crunch mix, spicy shoyu tonkotsu broth, black garlic oil, and chili oil. Hands down, the best ramen I've had in a hot minute. The flavors were rich and playing off each other wonderfully. The accompanying sauces added SO MUCH DEPTH, even though it didn't seem possible for the flavors to be any better. Perfect soft boiled egg, loved the addition of kimchi, tender pork belly, and the broth was chef's kiss. The kicker? As I begun to write this review, I wanted to list all the ingredients of my dish. Lo and behold on their website, it says the Ebisu Chef, Soon Choi, was the former head chef of Sushi Den. No wonder why this place slaps!!! Sometimes the best food is found in the most unassuming places. Here's a prime example of this phenomenon. read more

Both the sushi and the ramen are excellent. Very nice people running it as well. I get the spicy pork ramen all the time. Highly recommend.

Such a lovely mom and pop in the Colorado Center! You can find Ebisu in the middle of the Junction, just across from Dave and Buster's and the movie theatres. Ebisu offers ramen, sushi rolls, sushi spring rolls(!)... the menu hinted of fusion food - Korean-Japanese, perhaps? - that drew me instantly. I eventually came back the next day, because it was that interesting. The ramen is ridiculously good. They offer two kinds of noodles and they'll show you both for you to choose. I ordered the black garlic oil broth and it was thick, creamy and so heartwarming. Gotta love good comfort food. They presently offer a promo of 10% every sushi roll if you order a ramen, so I also tried the Salmon and Mango Salsa Roll. The taste was decent, but the roll wasn't entirely ... traditional? ... in its preparation. Eating it, I was reminded of why the food seemed more experimental than other places. However, I have to commend them on their sushi spring rolls. This is pretty unique and an excellent display of fusion food at its best. I tried the spring roll with spicy tuna and shrimp tempura, but I wish I'd also ordered the ones with crab and/or other fish. Price-point is very reasonable for the quality and quantity. I recommend stopping by for dinner or a snack between games and drinks. read more

I'm all up for new Japanese and Ramen spots in Denver! At Junction we have the new Ebisu Ramen and Sushi. Since moving to Denver, I've been on the search for the perfect ramen; Denver doesn't have many if not any authentic ramen, all of the places I've been too have either lacked the body/saltiness in the broth or either it's too "Americanized" in terms of flavor. Have we have a new contender in Denver's best ramen? I decided to go with the spicy black garlic tonkotsu. Right off the bat, the dish looked amazing and the smell of garlic was everywhere. But does it live up to the hype? Unfortunately it did not. The broth was not full bodied, salty, and hearty. I guess I was spoiled by really strong ramen base growing up. The garlic oil was strong and the chashu was actually good. It was melt in your mouth good! The egg was cooked perfectly, I'm guessing a 7 minute egg? The noodles were ok, it did not have that bounce and chew I look for in the perfect ramen noodle. Maybe it needed more kansui? I'm still looking for the perfect inhouse/home made ramen noodle. It filled me up and I got my ramen fix, but I will be looking else where. Next time I'll go for the sushi! read more

A bit pricey but good ramen. They offer gluten free glass noodles too. I had the Black Garlic Oil Tonkotsu Ramen and it was tasty, from the fatty pork belly, to the slight crunch of the wood ear mushrooms, and the hearty broth - it was filling. The music in the food hall is too loud though. They really need to turn it down and pick some better music to eat a meal to. read more

I spotted Ebisu when I was picking up my yelpie board it's neighbor. I took the opportunity to try one of their sashimi to go. It was the Yellow Tail with Serrano peppers. Yellow tail, Serrano pepper, cilantro, micro green, yuzu ponzu. They have the e-menu where you scan or you can peruse the paper menu right on their counter. Ordering online I found out is pretty easy too. Next time I will try their ramen. Fast service. I ordered in person since I was there ( duh). I was told I will be texed when its ready. I went to my car that was parked outside. Sat for barely two minutes and there it was a text. The husband and wife team prepped my order in superhero warp speed. Check them out. They're inside the Junction Food and Drink. A new food hall! read more

Located in a modern food court, Ebisu provides a decent selection of Ramen and Sushi. I can only attest to the Ramen, and it was satisfying. We had looked for Ramen on a Sunday afternoon that offered gluten-free noodles for my wife. I can't say it was the best Ramen I have had, but it hit the spot. My Ramen was missing the soft boiled egg, which I usually expect. The pork was tasty and tender. The fried tofu was a novel addition. It definitely helped fill me up. The service was friendly and personal. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to go back, but if I worked close to the court I could see myself try a bit more of their options. read more

I have to say, this is one of the best ramen I've ever had. And I do not write reviews often. The price is fantastic for how much you get. I frequent this place several times a week. The spicy vegetable and miso ramen are to die for, and they let you pick if you want wheat or egg noodles! They always give me extra spicy paste on the side, and it's delicious. Especially if I'm feeling under the weather, it opens my sinuses and hits the spot every time. I think about the ramen all the time!!!! There's an older woman who works there, and every time I see her, she is so friendly and remembers my name. They also have a great lunch special, and their rolls are yummy! The fact it's in a food hall and doesn't have a restaurant is wild! It's a hidden gem. I recommend everyone come here! And there's a bar, the atmosphere is fantastic! 10/10! read more

Ebisu Ramen and Sushi is located in the Junction Food Hall along with many other great food and drink establishments. I ordered the Spicy Black Garlic Oil Tonkotsu which consists of a marinated soft boiled egg, bean sprouts, kimchi, green onion, braised pork belly, mushroom, black garlic oil and a Tonkotsu broth. There are two different options for noodles, a more traditional ramen noodle and the other one was described to me as a more chewy noodle. The braised pork belly was some of the best I've ever had. It had such a delicious marinade and very tender. The soft boiled egg was perfect and had that gooey yolk texture. The broth had great flavor as well. read more

This was our first time visiting Junction, and both my partner and I chose to eat at Ebisu. I'm strictly gluten-free, and the lady working the register was SO nice and helpful in accommodating my dietary needs!! I ended up getting the chicken shoyu ramen with GF noodles (kinda like glass noodles) and Tamari on the side that I added in myself. Also got the salmon avocado sushi roll and the rice was perfect. My partner got the spicy miso tonkatsu ramen and the same roll. We would totally eat here again if in the area, but not sure it blew our socks off enough to make it a point to come back. I hope to see more flavor next time, and obvious gluten-free menu items. read more

Located inside Junction Food & Drink food hall in the same plaza as Dave & Buster on Colorado Blvd. Great location to hangout for food before a movie. Tonkatsu ramen had a smooth creamy taste and the soft egg was perfect. The shoyu ramen broth had a bitter taste to it. I believe the arugulas must of tainted the broth. read more

Just wonderful. There is a sense of levity about this place. The food served actually looks as good as the pictures, and tastes as good as it looks. Everything is fresh and colorful. The service here is excellent, everyone working here is in a good mood. It's as if they actually like their jobs. The lady that takes my order remembers my order preferences every time, and always lifts my spirits a bit. It does seem a bit expensive if you go for the specialty sushi rolls, but keep in mind those soggy pre-prepared rolls at Whole Foods go for the same money and aren't nearly as high quality. Or as good. You can definitely spend less than $15 here and be happy but I recommend you splurge a bit, it's well worth it. Since it's technically a fast-casual concept, it's so much less work than your average sushi restaurant. This is critical to me on a Monday. I don't want to wait 30 minutes for a table just to spend 10 minutes on my meal. I can get in and out of here in 20 minutes, no commitments or planning ahead. You all need to go support this place because it's in an odd location and business isn't really booming. I want it to stick around a while, it's one of my few spots I can count on when I'm spontaneous and need to escape downtown Denver. read more

Unfortunately, I only got the leftovers of my husbands black truffle ramen to try. But I was impressed with how well it warmed up the next day for lunch. It wasn't the most authentic ramen; it's very hard to beat Uncle and Ramen Star. But for a food court style ramen it was pretty tasty. The noodles were super tiny so I was a bit thrown off by that since most ramen have a slightly larger noodle. The highlight was the perfectly cooked egg in my ramen; delish! read more

This place is really good! Of course I had to get the Kimchi tonkatsu. They have two sizes which is awesome since I wanted to try a little bit of everything. Service is fast and clean. I will always eat at this place when I come at this food hall. read more
