Just wanted to share another great experience at Birdhouse, still one of our faves! My daughter and…read moreher fiancé wanted comfort food last night, so we went to Birdhouse and, like always, left totally satisfied. We got the Birdhouse Flight to start--guac, five-cheese queso, and their birdhouse salsa (a tasty, mild tomatillo). Seriously, it's the best way to start your meal. For dinner, we all had ramen. I went for the Hellfire with extra bok choy. This ramen is no joke. If you want something spicy, this is it. The chili sauce, flakes, and oil really bring the heat. The kids got the Tonkotsu, which was amazing as usual--great broth and super tender meat. I had my spicy ramen with a Juicy Bits from WeldWerks, perfect combo. Seriously, it's some of the best ramen and service around North Denver. Whether it's for a special day or just a chilly night. Birdhouse is always good. I totally recommend it!

As a big ramen fan, Birdhouse was a pleasant surprise for me. I've had ramen at practically all the…read morewell known spot in Denver, from Katsu Ramen to Ramen Star (RIP) to Tokio. So it was shocking that I found such a good bowl out here in Erie. I got the Hellfire Ramen, a tonkotsu-based ramen served with their house spicy sauce, chili oil, pork shoulder, and a soft boiled egg. The broth was rich and flavorful, the spice level was perfect (quiet hot but still maintaining a good balance of flavors), and the pork shoulder was tender but still has a bit of nice toothsomeness. Overall, this was an excellent bowl of ramen comparable to any of the top spots in Denver. The only slight downside is that the broth was just a tough too salty for my liking, and I would've preferred a soy marinated egg over a soft boiled egg. They have other ramen here was well, such as a chicken-based shio ramen, a regular tonkotsu, and a Thai curry ramen. I definitely would return to try the other ramen. If the other items on this menu is as tasty, I wouldn't hesitate to give them 5 stars.

Our quest for great Japanese food continues and our next stop was Shin Yuu Izakaya in Louisville…read more We are big fans of Izakaya style dining and this looked promising Stopped in early Friday evening to a restaurant that was relatively full for 5 pm. Seated immediately and the menu had many options on the sushi/sashimi/izakaya fare. On this evening I ordered a variety of nigiri pieces, the 5 piece sashimi board, and a chicken gizzard, chicken heart, and pork belly yakitori skewers. The sushi was very good and totally legit. The Sashimi board while good, the pieces were oddly cut. Not a complaint but it looked like the trimmings of the end pieces. The skewers were great, I'm not sure how many order the heart and gizzards but if you are a fan then this place nailed it. The pork belly skewer was probably my favorite. Since I was happy with the sushi, I placed a final order for their fresh uni nigiri, it was very fresh, creamy, and worth it! Overall great place, solid service, easy location, and lots of parking. We'll be back for sure!

I completely don't remember what everyone ordered but I DO remember all the things I tried at the table. Tater Tots - parmesan & chives / house onion sour cream - nothing outstanding about this but the kids/teens/young adults LOVED it and may have inhaled it in one breath. Roasted Cauliflower - saffron cream / chermoula / sumac / miso aioli / crispy onion - the saffron cream was a nice touch of essence and the crispy onion brought a good sweetness and texture to the dish. Honey Bourbon Wings - fried chicken wings / honey bourbon glaze / dill pickles - this was FABULOUS, good fry, not burnt and the glaze was perfect, not ooey gooey sticky, just sticky to the touch. Wild Boar Bucatini - wild boar ragu / cured egg yolk / parmesan / chives - this was my dinner order. I'm always excited when there's bucatini on the menu. It just holds enough sauce in the hollows to satisfy me. The ragu was cooked well, good sauce maybe it needed just a little pinch more of salt for my liking. Parking in the neighborhood is not difficult. We had an airbnb down the street and walked here in less than 5 minutes. There's indoor and outdoor seating as well as a covered patio-ish area. Definitely coming back next time I'm in Lafayette!

I'd say the consensus was overall positive. But we do have some critique. I had the drunken noodles with pork and mild spice. It was tasty. I enjoyed the sauce, but the pork was tough and there weren't many vegetables. The pork was better as a leftover later. I ordered this because it listed veggies. But those were sparsely placed. Perhaps I needed to ask for extra. My husband had Moo Ping very mild. He said it was tasty, but again, the pork was chewy, hard for him. The rice was so hard, he couldn't cut it with his fork. So that went uneaten. My friends went hotter and it seemed their meals were better. She had Grandma's Pad Thai. I tasted it. Yummy. He had a very hot curry that I didn't try, but he seemed to enjoy it. If I went back, I'd get her dish. They also ordered three appetizers. Edamame might have been frozen. They were mushy to me. And no salt that I detected, so bland. I didn't put enough sauce on the golden tofu, I guess. The others enjoyed it. My husband really liked it. And we all enjoyed the shrimp tempura. My friend also had a mixed drink and seemed to enjoy that. It was quiet enough that we could catch up and it's in between where we live. In all, a good experience, with both hits and misses.

My partner and I visited Rocky Fin, and I was tempted to deviate from our plan and get a poke bowl instead, but I'm glad I ultimately chose their Spicy Miso Ramen. My partner got the Spicy Shoyu Ramen. Everything was SO flavorful! Perfect amount of noodles and vegetables. The pork chashu was smoky and melt-in-your-mouth - not dry like some ramen places. I'm still dreaming about the broth. Both the Spicy Miso and Spicy Shoyu broths tasted complex, and I'd be happy to get either one of them again in the future.

Might go back tonight! My only complaint ... the spicy tuna was served minced/ground up. I just could not do that. That's ok, the standard Ahi tuna chunks were fantastic. Update ... I did end up going back tonight! Got pretty close to the same creation I had last night - but this time I had 3x tunas and 1x shrimp - all on spring mix with an incredible mixture of sauces, veggies and such. Also added some kind of pineapple drink tonight. Great drink. Wish I lived closer.
