[[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant is off to the side and it was AMAZING![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My significant other HATES eating out and he NEVER says restaurant food is good but he LOVED this restaurant! We really enjoyed eating at Kyoto! read more

Quick, easy spot to grab some ramen. If you're coming from LA, just know that the ramen at home is better, but if you're trying to scratch that ramen itch, this is a decent option. It's vegetarian friendly and there's indoor seating available. You order at the counter and pay, and then they'll bring your food. The person at the counter was nice and efficient. I ordered the veggie spicy ramen and while it wasn't spicy, there was some flavor. They gave a lot of corn and went lighter on the tofu but it's all good. Credit cards accepted. read more

Went there at lunch time and the line was kinda long! The line moved slow mainly cuz it's very understaffed! The person taking orders at the counter was also the one delivering food to tables! But, he did apologize to me for the delay. Food is good for its price! I got vegetarian ramen and it came with generous amount of tofu and black fungus. My colleague got the regular pork ramen and he said the quality of meat was good. And, we both agreed that there was too much MSG! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good amount of seating and vibes are also lively with upbeat music![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I had a great experience! I work nearby so had been meaning to try this place out. Fair prices, clean restaurant, and great staff to work with. You can get a water cup and self-serve. When you go in, go up to the register to order. After ordering, you'll get a number to set at your table of choice to be served. I ordered the Black Garlic Ramen and it was SAVORY and very filling. The broth is rich and the pork is well cooked. Next time, I'll probably order extra egg or pork. I'm also curious about their Tonkatsu broth. Overall, great experience! Really looking forward to coming back for lunch read more

The ramen here was mid at best. Nothing special and tasted kind of bland. The storefront was also very plain and not sterile (not decorated). The food came out very quickly. Service was friendly. read more

The black garlic ramen is good. The pork is quite big and you can choose spicy level which is great. Their service is quite minimal and you pay when you order foods, so you don't have to pay huge tips. Overall, it's great, but I wish they had more comprehensive menu options, because I was there for ramen, but they only had four options. read more

You wouldn't guess this ramen shop would stand out given all the restaurants around, but this is a big surprise! Ran into this joint a while ago when it first opened and recently just came back. The black garlic ramen is freaking solid. They do a great job with the broth. Full of flavor, heavy enough, and spice is there. read more

Really nice folks work here!! The truffle fry aioli was delish!! My husband got the stir fry chicken bowl. He said it was good! The veggies looked fresh and not overly sauced. I had the bahn mi. It was okay. Having just returned from Vietnam, I'm a little spoiled. The bread was a bit too toasted and cut the roof of my mouth. I would have loved a bit more acid (pickled veggies?) on the sandwich and the pork was pretty unremarkable. It was fine, but I would choose something else the next time! I would go back just to support the amazing staff!! It was clean and bright which is also a huge plus. read more

Loved it! I just wished the ramen was warmer, but over all nice service and good food. Best kimchi I've had!!!! read more

While browsing the area during a work trip we passed this location. I made a mental note to come back and visit. We decided to stop in the next day for lunch. Staff are super friendly and ordering was breeze. The shop is slightly open and airy which gives it a nice laid back ambiance. A nice spot for a work lunch. I opted for the Tonkostu Ramen and added Kimchi with a side of spring rolls. The ramen was super flavorful and the added Kimchi really hit the spot. The spring rolls was cooked just the way that I like them. We also shared an order of the Crab Rangoons and Chicken Karaage. read more

Quite surprised not many Japanese restaurants in the Central Business District offered unagi don. Sakura House did not have it, Oishii Ramen, Menya Ramen and Hapa Sushi also did not have it. Found only Kyoto Ramen and Poke Club had it. Since Kyoto Ramen was within a short walking distance, so it was my pick for lunch today. Compared to the traditional unagi don, besides the smoked eels, there were also a few poke bowl ingredients, such as tofu, peas, seaweed, avocado and ginger. The unagi sauce was rich and umami while the other ingredients complemented the taste, flavor and nutritiousness of the unagi don. Satisfied and would certainly come more often. Kyoto Ramen is right across the street from Chipotle. read more

Hot flavorful broth, no thrills place, the pork was a bit tough but had flavor, the noodles were great- just a little too soft in my opinion. I prefer kata over futsu. Overall, much better than Oishi around the corner. read more

I went in and order a ramen bowl & asked for the whole egg, two halfs, in my order. The guy at the register says that will be an extra $2. I asked if I got no egg if he would subtract the $2 from the total, he said no. So if they get to keep the egg half they you're still charged for it but if you ask for the other half of the egg it's two more dollars. The foods good but the service couldn't be worse. Hope the owners get rid of the jerk that works the counter. read more

Wow! Kyoto Ramen is FABULOUS! I recommend this place to EVERYONE ‼ The service is quick and efficient. read more

The service was incredible, all the food came out quickly and all staff were very kind. My group ordered crab rangoons to start followed by the tonkotsu ramen and the black garlic ramen. I enjoyed the toppings on both ramen dishes, the pork was delicious, but I found that the noodles were slightly more well done for my preference and the broth was not as rich as I was hoping for. We also ordered a teriyaki shrimp bowl, po boy with shrimp, and a bahn mi sandwich. Overall, nothing extraordinary but all solid food, clean restaurant, and fair prices. read more

Really great food, friendly staff, and fast and delicious. Can't go wrong. I had the seafood Ramen and wife had pork, all was very good.

Best Korean food I've ever had! So happy to find this hidden gem, recommend to everyone 10/10. Friendly owners and great service, you definitely won't regret checking out this place! I got the Korean fried chicken sandwich and will be back again for more read more

Saw the sign for the Crab Rangoon's and Gyoza and decided to go in. We ordered 2 Crab Rangoons and one Gyoza. We can say this is the best of each of these we've ever eater. High highly recommend them! read more

FOOD Tuna Poke Bowl without Edamame, Tofu and Ginger - Overall really good. There is a good amount of sauce that makes the dish tasty. The ingredients are given in decent portion sizes for the price. And the tuna was pretty fresh and given decent sized chunks. VIBES Place is pretty spacious with plenty of seating from tables with chairs to more bench type seating. SERVICE The service was ok. It took around 30 to 35 minutes for the food to come out after we ordered for around six people. They also had no salmon :( read more

We were visiting Denver for a few days and tonight at 31 degrees and with snow flurries in the air, ramen was the perfect thing to have... we ordered the shoyu ramen and it was just ok... the soup needed a little bit more flavor and the noodle was a little soft... but adding a bit of the hot chili oil did the job... coming from Los Angeles with some of the best ramen outside of Tokyo , I can get a little critical.... It did warm us up enough tho. read more

Amazing service!! Clean establishment and delectable food. We came after a movie looking for some A/C and good food and we found it. Not being local to the area there were a ton of options but so glad we stopped in. We got the spicy edamame, chicken teriyaki, shrimp po boy and chicken ramen. They were all delicious but the ramen stole the show. read more

It is a quiet place very close to the 16 Street Mall. Very clean and spacious. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the food, I got the Teriyaki Chicken Rice bowl, was delicious. I'd recommend Kyoto Scratch Kitchen. I'll be back the next time I'm in Denver! read more

This review is only for their chashu pork rice. I didn't try anything else. But I likely won't be back! The rice bowl is as disappointing as can be for any restaurant food - even at the fast food restaurant standard. It was just some rice (albeit properly cooked) with frozen vegetables (the kind that you can find in the frozen section of most markets), very few small pieces of pork, and a ton of salty teriyaki sauce!!! I had to dig under them to get some rice that's not soaked in sauce.... Even at the low price ($11) it was disappointing. Service is efficient- you order at the counter; and the place is clean and nice. But none of that could offset the disappointment with the food - after all, it's why we came to restaurants for, isn't it? read more

was in town for a conference and craving ramen for dinner. coming from the east coast where i eat ramen pretty regularly and have a wide range of options, this did not quite hit the mark for me. i do not want to be harsh. maybe it is a regional palate thing or even the altitude. but the broth and overall flavor just did not really taste like traditional ramen to me. friends mentioned that denver's ramen scene can be a bit different, so that might be part of it. either way, it just did not quite land for me. read more

My colleague and I came in for lunch. When we arrived there were quite a few empty tables. Since you order at the counter first, we knew we'd be okay finding a table. Depending on who is behind the counter, you might be ordered/told where to sit. Everyone who came in and was a party of 2 had to sit in the middle column. If they didn't listen the "ramen nazi" would tell them to move. Aside from that, the food is excellent! I had a tuna and salmon poke bowl. Everything was fresh and extremely filling. My colleague had the chicken ramen and said it was extremely flavorful. We also shared gyoza that was tasty with just the right amount of crisp. We arrived at 11am by 11:30 the place was packed. A little on the loud side so know you won't be having any business meetings here. read more

I really should review them-like right now. I've been raiding their grilled squid menu for a while since moving in to d/t Denver. It's a walking distance to me( you don't know what walking distance is to me ) . Its a whole squid mind you! Grilled to perfection! I make sure that Adam D orders something to make up for my one track-minded squid They have other dishes too that of course I tried as a cover for my obsession with this grilled squid. . Poke Bowls are fresh! Ramens are yummy! Staff is always helpful and the place is clean! Well lit and easy to get to either you're driving or walking So yes, I highly recommend them! read more

Kyoto Ramen - Spicy miso ramen - Ramen Near Me - Denver, Colorado

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was clean and service was quick and efficient.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the black garlic ramen and side order of gyoza, mild spicy. The gyoza was ok, deep fried crunchy and had a nice dipping sauce. The ramen had two nice pieces of pork which were soft but rather bland. The noodles were a bit soft. The ramen sauce was completely lacking. Really watered down and bland. Had a craving for some good ramen but it's the in the soup base. This one looked good but no substance. Sad. I don't come to Denver much and won't come back here. read more

I have heard many good things about this spot since i've been in Denver, and I must say that I could not wait to try this spot out. I walked into a spacious restaurant that was filled with the aroma of garlic and deliciousness! I ordered the Miso Ramen as my main course, and requested for it to be spicy! I then ordered an appetizer of fried chicken wings. My food came out and I dug right in! I started with the fried chicken wings, which were well seasoned and crisp to the bite! They were actually so seasoned, that they did not even need to have any sauce with them! I then took a nice delightful bite into the miso ramen and I could taste the warm notes of miso, with the fresh toppings and tofu! The miso soup was very flavorful and energizing! The dish made me feel very rejuvenated after eating it! I also enjoyed the spiciness a lot too! This place has a variety of ramen dishes to choose from, the service is quick, and the flavors are on point! Cheers to good eats! read more

Stumbled upon Kyoto Ramen last night (Thursday) while walking around in Downtown Denver. It was cooooold so some hot ramen sounded perfect. I walked in a little after 8, (they close at 8:30.) There was one table occupied at the time. The restaurant was clean and tidy. The cashier was friendly and offered recommendations and substitutions. I ordered the Tonkatsu ramen. It arrived at my table pretty quickly. As far as flavor goes, I've had better but it was still very good! The meat was cooked perfectly, so was the egg. I asked for a to-go bowl just in case I didn't finish before they closed. That wasn't necessary. I finished the whole bowl. LOL It's cold outside, slide though and warm up with some hot ramen! read more
