This is the second MENYA location downtown, good for them! The other is on 16th Mall. This one by Commons Park and Confluence Park is much smaller, but they still have the staples of the other location that I could see on the menu. I just wanted a quick snack/bite so I went with egg rolls and a side of kimchi and a much needed Asahi beer on a super roasting hot day. It was quiet inside, and the servers are nearby since it's so small! I'd imagine it fills up fast on certain popular days and busier hours and they probably get a decent to-go crowd in that area I'd imagine. read more

MENYA Ramen & Poke - Egg rolls and kimchi - Ramen Near Me - Denver, Colorado

My good friend met up with me at Menya to treat me to lunch for my belated birthday. I had a good time at lunch with my homie. The restaurant is really small. The service was not good and the food was ok. We ordered the veggie egg rolls, salmon hand roll, veggie ramen and the Tonkotsu ramen. The veggie egg rolls were good. The salmon hand roll was hug but it completely feel apart after I took the first bite. The Tonkotsu rain was filling but definitely not that good. I tasted the veggie broth that my friend ordered and it was ok. I probably won't be back but if you are looking for a quick lunch that is a decent spot to go. read more

This place was just okay. The ramen was served warm rather than hot, and the eggs were cold, which took away from the experience. The flavor was decent enough if you're in a pinch, but it wasn't memorable. I didn't try the poke, so I can't comment on that, but based on the ramen, I don't see myself coming back. Probably a one time visit kind of place. read more

Came here on a Thursday for lunch. It was a beautiful day and I was feeling great. The food was great but let's just say the staff were not matching my energy. You first order before you sit. Around $20 for the Black Tonkatsu, which is pretty normal price for ramen. I was the only one in the restaurant and I ended up sitting at the bar. There's a self-serve station for condiments. I really liked them all and added extra garlic oil and chili powder. My food was delicious! I almost finished all the broth. Would recommend if you're looking for a ramen joint downtown. Otherwise, wouldn't go outta my way. read more

MENYA Ramen & Poke - Black Tonkotsu - Ramen Near Me - Denver, Colorado

As a resident of the area, I find myself returning to this place with a frequency that has become less intentional over time and more a matter of reliable habit. It is, quite simply, a place people go for an easy but excellent bowl of ramen. The broth is consistently well-executed, carrying a depth and clarity that suggests real attention to process rather than shortcuts. Beyond the ramen, the udon is also worth trying, and no meal feels complete without the dumplings. What also stands out, perhaps just as importantly, is the staff. They are unfailingly friendly, greeting regulars with recognition and newcomers with an easy warmth that sets the tone for the entire experience. The space itself is unpretentious and efficient, yet still welcoming and cozy. It is, simply put, a reliable and comforting meal every time. read more

Been going to Menya for about 6 years now - it's always great! The spicy chicken ramen is a favorite. The hand rolls are a great deal too and they're really quite large. read more

Casual. Clean. Easy. Delicious! This is more of a fast casual place but it checks all the boxes for some quick yummy ramen with a good chill vibe. Service is pretty fast. They have a good selection of condiments. Their gluten free section is a little boring but they have one at the register and are good about cross contamination. read more

I ordered the Unagi Bowl and my husband ordered the Menya Poke Bowl, we also split a Chashu Bun. The food was fresh and also beautiful! You can tell the ingredients were fresh because they were so flavorful. The inside is so cozy and they play music that is generally agreeable for most people. The server was very nice too, and it's cool to see the cooks doing their thing behind the counter. I would definetely go here again! :3 read more

Craving a poke bowl as I made my way home from my morning classes, I decided to make a little pit stop near Union Station at Menya Ramen and Poke. The LOCATION: Locate at the foot of the Millenium Bridge in the heart of Downtown Denver and close to Union Station, Menya Ramen and Poke is perfectly situated for the busy commuter. The SPACE: I really enjoyed the set-up of the restaurant. There's a ton of different seating, and it has a really fun aesthetic. I think the only drawback I noticed was that it smelled a little odd during my visit. I'm hoping it was just a one off, so I won't hold that against them. They do have a patio space that would be great for soaking up those sunny Colorado days. The EATS: For my meal I opted for the DIY Poke Bowl with the following: Poke tuna, poke salmon, seaweed salad, avocado and crab meat over rice. You then choose additional toppings to customize it just how you'd like. I always add edamame, ginger, and avocado. It was definitely fresh and delicious! The DRINKS: While I decided to sip on water during my visit, they do offer a variety of soda, tea, sake, and beer for your enjoyment! While I chose to not get an RTD pass this semester, I'd pop back by Menya Ramen and Poke to check out more of their menu offerings if I find myself in the area again! read more

Been coming here for a couple years . Last time I went in, I noticed they changed ownership . The food is still amazing but the atmosphere is scrambled and unorganized. I liked how they use to make me pay right away , so I can eat and leave whenever I want . Japanese style . I liked how I was able to get my own toppings and drinks . Saves work for the understaffed guy . Also saves time for me, I don't want to wait on a waiter . The changed was unnecessary and would love for it to go back to the way it was . read more

Such a good spot for whatever you're craving! They have a wide range of options here from rice bowls, ramen, poke, dumplings, etc. I've tried the ramen and it's super flavorful! A go-to when I'm going out to lunch with coworkers. I haven't tried the poke yet but a coworker got it while I was with her and it looked really good! I recently tried the fried dumplings and the Korean bulgogi buns and loved them! The dumplings were fried perfectly and the fillings inside were also delicious! The bobs comes in these adorable containers, which was a fun surprise! The service here is always very quick, making it that fast, easy, and tasty option when going on your lunch break! read more

Really liked the Menya poke bowl with pork bun! Customer service was great and attentive.

Highly recommend the Niku Udon and bulgogi wrap. New management have done great job on improving the quality of food and service!

I visited here with four others and I, myself ordered the curry ramen. Unfortunately, I expected too high of the dish. The noodles were thinner than I thought they would be, possibly getting close to just regular spaghetti in size. The "curry", as they called it, was severely lacking in flavor, as if they just tried to make it as spicy as possible. On the contrary, my family (4) said they enjoyed their food, and the boba was great (so much so I wanted another cup). No complaints about the staff or ambience. It was cool to see the cooks preparing the food in regular eye's view. If you ever go here, I would personally advise against ordering the curry ramen, as it is not what they specialize in and is not worth the price either. read more

Wowowowowowowowow! Wow. Wow. So delicious! Also, Ow! When they say spicy, they mean spicy.

Although this isn't the best veggie ramen I've had in Denver, it definitely hits the spot when the craving crawls in. It's right by Millenium Bridge and Commons Park, so it's the perfect stop on a nice spring day stroll. Can't wait to go again soon, maybe after a trip to Denver MCA :) read more

MENYA Ramen & Poke - "Udon noodles"..... but not. - Ramen Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Well it's been a minute since I've done a hungover takeout order. Good for me! But alas today I needed some ramen (at 10am lol) As we all know not many ramen places are open this early; luckily Menya Ramen was. I got the Spicy Miso Ramen. I will say there wasn't much spice but it still had good flavor. I almost wonder if it was Chashu by accident as it did look somewhat creamy. Either way not a big deal; it tasted good and got the job done in helping my hangover while I watched The Jungle Cruise in bed. It's been a very productive day as you can tell. I have to say the Chicken Karaage was pretty meh. The pieces were somewhat rubbery and I did end up sharing quite a bit with my faithful steed (aka my German Shepherd) as he was very interested in the chicken. So he got hooked up lucky for him. Either way I would get the ramen again and try the poke but skip the Karaage. read more

I had a a few min to sit down and eat something real quick, had the menya Ramen and I will say it was quite tasty. Customer service was okay didn't really interact much, it's a order first pay and sit kinda place. The ramen was different it has these leaves which really changed the taste of the food, kinda made you feel you were eating something really healthy. I can't really say anything bad about this place! Definitely has a lunch feel to it, it had some TV's and the location is in a plaza. read more

MENYA Ramen & Poke - Lunch Time!!! Menya Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I came here for lunch with my coworkers as we were all craving either ramen or poke and a blessing it's walking distance from our office. A blessing for there not to be a lunch crowd because we were able to order and get our food very quickly. I was skeptical on the ramen at first because ever since I've had it in Japan, not many places state side compete but I was pleasantly surprised with my ramen! It was delicious and tasted very close to the ramen I've had in Japan. The flavor was spot on the the noodles tasted authentic which is where many restaurants miss. This spot will be in my rotation on my visits to Denver! read more

MENYA Ramen & Poke - Menya Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I am torn about this establishment. First and foremost, I went here for Dinner. I cannot really see what they put coz especially if you see at the bar, the lighting can be "deceiving" or perhaps its all my fault, due to "poor vision". I ordered DIY or CYOB with White Rice ($10.50), with the first protein is FREE, in which I opt for the SPICY Tuna, and extra SPICY Salmon ($2) I also order the Bulgogi Bun which was at ($4.50). The BEEF BULGOGI Bun, comes only 1 piece. In terms of flavoring, it was just boring flavors of some sauce. DOES NOT WOW me all. The portion can be a little personally for me. Remember MORE proteins you add, you will charged more.. in which I don't mind paying at all, but for the toppings, I don't taste any MASAGO at all even when I ask for Crab Mix, Mango, Masago and Seaweed Salad as part of my toppings options. I also don't understand why they OVERCHARGED me with EXTRA CRAB MIX ($2) when I don't ask for EXTRA CRAB MIX. **SIGH** Maybe it was a miscommunication. Inside the establishment can be tiny, though you can seat at the bar. There are several seating outside aka the PATIO when weather permits. LOCATION is PRIME. I know that this area, RENT IS INDEED HIGH. But with regards to the quality, hmm... I am unsure and with the lighting inside especially at the Bar area, I cannot identify what is what being put in my bowl order. *SIGH* I have to switch on the flash mode on my digital camera to actually see what's in my Dinner. In terms of flavors, it does not wow me as much as I was hoping for. *DOUBLE SIGH* Maybe its a fluke. Maybe I ordered the wrong items in the Menu.

My friend made reservations, which made the experience even better, and we were promptly seated upon arrival. I ordered the Chashu ramen, and it exceeded my expectations. The broth boasted a rich and robust flavor, while the noodles had the perfect chewiness, and the chashu was tender and bursting with flavor. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys delicious ramen. read more

I had been wanting to try Menya for a while and finally went for it last night. The menu is fairly extensive, with both poke and ramen options, as well as appetizers. I went with the spicy chicken ramen, which was ready in only 5 minutes. The chicken and broth had a nice flavor and had a kick without being painfully spicy-- Almost tasted like pieces of hot chicken wings floating around in the broth. My noodles were cooked perfectly and were not too mushy, and the soft boiled egg was truly soft boiled. Pretty reasonably priced at around $15 for a bowl of ramen. Not the most amazing ramen I have ever had, but for the price and convenience, I will be back. read more

So I've been here so many times & my stomach has always beaten my camera to the food. Everything I've had here is amazing, especially the Menya poke bowl. It has any/everything I've ever wanted in a poke bowl and out of a meal. The sauce is subtle but delicious and the quality of the ingredients here are so high that you don't want to cover them up with so many sauces! It also comes along with a bowl of miso soup, something that's especially wonderful in cooling denver evenings. The Japanese Curry is prime as well for those who aren't as big on raw fish. Quality and consistency is so high here, I honestly haven't been able to justify going to other poke restaurants here in Denver... I also love the Menya II location right next to the park and the waterfalls, it's always so peaceful on their patio in the evenings! Staff is always welcoming and service is quick here as well. read more

Food is great but poor service. Our door dash order was messed up and delivered wrong and we could not get a hold of the restaurant because the phone was not on, resulting in us having to drive to it and resolving the matter there. They didn't apologize about it and we had to wait there while they remade the initial order. Was not compensated for time spent and still charged the full amount. read more

Gotta be one of the best ramen and poke place I've been to. We went on a Friday... around 6pm and it was surprisingly quite empty. I saw that many were taking out but people eating at the restaurant were only a few...actually I think there was one other table besides us. The inside was clean with many tables and a bar area. You order like you do at a fast food place... order first and sit down. The staff bring the food to your table rather quickly. We ordered one ramen and one DIY poke bowl. Both dishes were very satisfying!! The ramen broth was so rich, noodles cooked just right...just enough in terms of the size. The poke bowl was great too. I had the spicy salmon with 4 toppings (you can get 6 toppings for an extra dollar) and spicy mayo. The bowl was huge! I couldn't finish it. Overall, great place for easy quick ramen or poke. The price is reasonable too! read more
