I remember my first visit, going through the alleyway, so I was surprised to see a sign and door and window now! If you're looking for take-out, this shop has made it super easy! But I love my ramen hot and cozy and pork heavy in a tiny spot with long lines, because that's how I slurped in LA and Tokyo. Sera still hits those aesthetics, and expands on it with a few untraditional Japanese dishes (Saigon curry?!). I typically get the Tan Tan, and the only miss here for me is spicy; a chili paste is offered on the side, but it's a tad too much like sweet chili sauce when I love my Thai chilis and ghost peppers. Other than that, Sera offers a really great introduction to ramen, with plenty of non-ramen Asian fusion dishes and a pretty bomb set of drinks! One last comment: It's still $20 minimum for credit cards, and despite the AmEx branded check holders, American Express is not accepted. read more

Personally I never leave yelp reviews but the cucumber salad was too good for me not to say something. It's been 3 days since I ate there and I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. The servers are lovely and I recommend asking for their recommendations. Also it has a cute patio outside that I love to sit at. Great vibes and great food read more

Doing the vegan thing here so we get the veggie ramen. Not a huge miso guy but this broth rocks. Always kick it up with some vegan hot spice. We add an order of the tofu bao buns which are insanely good. Just a great place to go on a cold winter day. We usually hit it during an off time just to make sure we can grab a table. Peak times can get a bit crowded, but worth the wait. read more

Some of the best ramen I've had in Denver. Ingredients are so fresh, spice level was amazing and loved the gyoza

My husband and I had Sera's ramen for the first time today after walking past it many times. From the street it looks like it's just an order window/take out spot but down a little alley you'll find that it is a small restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. My husband had the Tan Tan ramen and I had the Saigon curry ramen. Both were delicious. The pork was really good and the curry wasn't too spicy. We are definitely going back! read more

Amazing ramen! The sesame pork belly was much yummier than the oxtail ramen. However, both were good and we finished it all! The noodles were perfect. The egg was undercooked? It was not even soft boiled. A bit too runny. Blackberry plum wine was refreshing. read more

I've never tried Ramen outside of the 10 for $1 blocks everyone eats in college. It's always been on my radar to try the real stuff but I just never found a place for it. Well on a trip to Denver (which is known for lots of ramen hotspots) I took the leap and went for it. It was SO good - amazing actually. I had the Saigon Curry for the main course, with Poke rolls and crab wontons for the appetizer. Everything was delicious! You have to walk down a little ally to get to the entrance so the venue is a neat little place, and the wait staff was great, especially with questions we had about the ingredients (since we didn't know what half of them were). Also the portions of the ramen bowls are fairly large. My brother and sister-in-law shared a bowl and of course I had one for myself, but when finished I was definitely full, not sick full - but actually content. It was great! If you swing by Denver you need to check this place out. read more

I can think of worse than warm soupy ramen waiting for you at the end of a darkly lite alleyway. I think others have the same idea, because on a cold and rainy night there is a line for this tiny restaurant. Size doesn't matter, because they have big flavors and tasty dishes. The broth is hot and the miso is goooood. Give it a try and I think you'll like it. read more

Okay listen up, i came in and rolled up with the squad 7 deep through diagon alley to get to the dankness. I sat down and drank some more sake and i str8 yeeted it. I will say tho, this was some FIRE RAMEN. Ive had a healthy amount of food in my life and I highly highly recommend the dank comradery and the super hot fire! The raw squidlins had me on a new level, im on a new level, bought me a new shovel. read more

The ramen at Sera's is as unique as the location it's served in. As other folks have mentioned, the entrance is a little hard to find at first, but once you walk through the alley you'll find an unexpected outdoor space. I unfortunately crave ramen when the weather tends to be bad and have to sit inside (which is completely fine if not quite as cozy as I'd wish), but the patio looks very pleasant for nice days. While there can be a wait even on weekdays, it's fairly short and service is good. Most importantly, the food is great! My favorite dish is the flavorsome ramen with oxtail and the bao/sliders make a great appetizer. This isn't super traditional Japanese food but it is unique and delicious. Compared to the nearby Uncle, you get ramen that's just as satisfying without the fuss. read more

I love their Flavorsome Ramen because it has oxtail - very hard to find oxtail ramen most places

I thoughtfully chose ramen as my birthday dinner and Sera's did not disappoint. The entrance is hidden down a cute little side alley and their interior is an indoor and outdoor quaint little dining room. I did find it to be a little bright in there (I have no idea why, but my ideal ramen experience is dimly light - who knows?). We ordered the pork belly sliders to start, some sake, and then our mains. The pork belly sliders were perfect. Full of flavor, soft bao bun, and had the perfect sauce. I had the ramen with the pork belly and tonkatsu broth. It was soooooooo gooooooood and the serving of pork belly was generous - I had trouble finishing mine! Hubs had the shoyu broth, which was equally delicious, but very different in flavor. I considered the prices for ramen to be high... but after looking at the other ramen joints in the area, it seems their prices are pretty standard. It doesn't deter me and I will be back. Sera's Ramen Enclave is bomb. read more

Finally found another decent ramen place in Denver! I had the pork belly sesame ramen (tonkotsu broth). The noodles were cooked well, nice and firm. The broth was thick with a good flavor. The pork belly was tender and thick. There were even bamboo shoots, which are one of my favorite ramen ingredients! Unfortunately the egg was poached, but I have just come to accept that for some reason poached eggs are the norm for ramen places here in Denver. We got a spicy sauce on the side, which was SUPER spicy. Use with caution - one tiny micro-spoonful is all you need. The service was good, and the place itself was cute. It's inside a repurposed house, and there's even still a bathtub in the restroom. The entrance is through the back, and my boyfriend and I were confused at first since no one was there to greet us. We wandered into the bathroom area, went back, spotted the menus and chopsticks and thought "oh it must be seat yourself." As soon as we grabbed menus and started making our way to a table someone spotted us and came over and led us to a seat though. We'll definitely be back here! Very happy to now have two decent ramen options in Denver, after many disappointments. read more

On our first night in Denver, it was extremely cold and ramen sounded just like the fix. We were going to go to Uncle's at first but upon calling and finding out it was an hour and half wait at 8 PM, we found Sera's on Yelp. Boy, are we glad! The husband says this is the best ramen he's had in the States, but still not as good as Japan, and we've had a ton of ramen! Now if only this place opened up a location in Detroit... We ordered Duck baos and seared oysters as appetizers. Let me just say that I don't like oysters but they looked so appetizing that I tried one. The sauce very a perfect blend of garlicky, sweet, and spicy. The oysters were perfectly done and not chewy whatsoever. I also really loved the cucumber in the duck bao to offset the fatty of the duck. We ordered the sesame pork belly for ramen, and my husband was immediately a fan! I love that they are generous with their pork belly, and the egg was perfectly poached. Just an overall win altogether at this restaurant. Don't hesitate, and come here!!!! read more

Who knew that finding a big ol bowl of ramen on a Sunday afternoon would be so difficult?! With all of my typical Denver soup spots closed until 5 pm (or all day) on Sunday, we decided to give Sera's a try. They're open from 11 am to 9:30 pm daily, so you can get your ramen fix here on a v consistent basis. Look for parking on 32nd and walk through the little alley to the back, which is their main entrance. I loved the cozy, secret vibe of the alley and restaurant! We arrived around 3 pm on a Sunday and were seated immediately--we were one of only about three groups there. Their menu is simple and just what ya need--five or six types of ramen, a few small plates, beer, wine, and sake. I ordered the Saigon Curry Ramen and a glass of white wine--while I felt like the wine pour was super light, the ramen serving was huge and delicious. The creamy broth was just perfect--not *insanely* salty like some other spots in town, but really, really flavorful. Our server was friendly and the food came out pretty quickly. The restaurant itself was pretty chilly--so chilly that my friend had to run to the car to get her jacket. Prices were competitive with other popular ramen spots in town. With winter upon us, I definitely suggest giving Sera's a try! read more

I've loved this place every time I've stopped in. The entrance is hidden, the patio intimate and the food, I wish there were more places like this one. I've had a few Ramen bowls here and they've never disappointed for flavor, in fact I can think of just one Ramen bowl I enjoyed more. Sera's nails it with the experience. We've been in when it's been crowded and found it to be bustling with happy customers. This particular night we showed up 15 minutes before closing and they didnt even mention it. They seated us and made us feel welcomed without any rush, I only knew it was closing time upon checking their hours. I've had a few appetizers, tea and 3 different ramen bowls and I've enjoyed everything here. read more

Denver is not an easy place to find decent Japanese cuisine. Sera's was recommended to me by a friend who lives in Denver for several years so we decided to check it out. Just a heads up, although Sera's serves a wide range of fusion ramen (mostly Vietnamese/Korean infused due to their menu), I would not recommend coming here expecting to get a traditional flavor. We ordered pork belly sesame tonkotsu ramen and oxtail ramen to share. The pork belly was tender, eggs were well cooked, and the broth was savory. Oxtail ramen was a more interesting twist, with its broth tasted almost like pho's but slightly heavier, making a great bowl of comfort food. The highlight of the dish was the braised oxtail, which was absolutely delicious and flavorful. The restaurant also had great ambience and very nice servers. Tip: To get inside, you actually need to enter from the back door.. which is down the small alley on the right! read more

BEST ramen in Denver, and I'll stand by that. Broth is so flavorful. Appetizers are good too. Went here for the first time and sat inside. It's a small place but really cute and cozy. Can't wait to go back after covid and see how packed it gets! Dine in is definitely better than take out. I feel like that's just the case with all ramen spots but definitely consider going in! read more

Service was terrible and the seating is too tight. We waited over 10 mins before the server took our order after we were seated + they took the peoples's order that were seated after us first before they took our order and of course they got their food first. We ordered the oxtail ramen which was described as a 12 hr cooked broth which was super light and not flavorful. The ramen noodles were undercooked and clumped together. The chicken karaage was good. The pork belly ramen broth saved the night. Definitely a disappointing experience. Never coming back. read more

This is definitely the best ramen I've ever had in Colorado. I thought it was so cool that the entrance was in the back so we walked through an alleyway that made me feel like I was transported back into the night life in Japan. We were immediately greeted and seated by our friendly waitress. I was so entranced with how cute the interior design was! So for appetizers, we got duck bao which was so delicious and packed with ingredients that did not disappoint. I gobbled mines way too fast. I got the sesame pork ramen while my boyfriend got the flavorsome ramen. My ramen was good! It was above average and reminds me of the good high quality ones I usually get in California, except this place gives you big whopping slices of pork meat to the point where I had to get my boyfriend to finish it off for me. As for my boyfriend's dish, I thought it was going to be bland from how clear the broth was and how simple the dish looked overall. But then I tried it and I actually felt my eyes widen when I tried the ox tail in his ramen. I love, love, love gamey meat and that was so delicious for me. My boyfriend usually doesn't like gamey meat, but he said it tasted so good with the broth and noodles. I was also wrong about the broth. It indeed lives up to its name. Overall I just really enjoyed this place and I can't wait to come back to try the other things they have. read more

Holy F**K! Holy moly! Sera's is INCREDIBLE. After trying Menya, Jinya and (barely edible) Uncle, I had all but given up on ramen in Denver. After passing by Sera's a few times, I decided to give it a try and boy am I glad I did. I ordered the sesame pork belly ramen. The to go packaging was thoughtfully put together. The pork is melt in your mouth tender with no trace of gross fattiness or chewiness that you often find in inferior ramens. The noodles are perfectly al dente. The broth is rich and you can tell a long labor. Suffice to say I will be back! read more

Creamy, and savory ramen that's perfect on a cold night. I've been dying to try out sera, so I was super excited to finally have a chance to check the place out. Like other reviewers mentioned, the entrance is super cute and very unique. We came on a pretty chilly night so the Patio seating was closed. The inside was pretty small, but luckily for us we only had to wait a little less than 10 minutes for a table. Per recommendations we had the octopus for starters and I ordered the pork belly ramen, while my fiancé went with the flavor some ramen, and my friend had the chicken curry ramen. Hands down out of the three mine was the best. It was creamy and delicious, the portions of pork belly were huge, and all the flavor was there. I also asked for a side of their house spicy sauce.. which a little does go a long way. That stuff was spicy! Can't wait to go back to try the oyster! This is probably my new favorite ramen spot! read more

My friends came here last time they visited Denver. It was so good last time, they decided to take me here. The entrance is in the back, it's a little alley. Super cute! We decided to sit outside because the weather was beautiful. Their inside sitting is also nice. My friends got the Thai tea and it was really good, they said it was a bit sweet for their taste, but I liked it. As an appetizer we got the wrapped crisp. They are large shrimp wrapped in rice sheets with seasonal garnishes and spice, then they are fried. There was about 7 pieces of them. They were a very filling appetizer while we waited for our ramen. We got 3 different ramens, the shoyu ramen, the flavorsome ramen and I got the sesame pork belly ramen. All three of them were a 10 out of 10. Mine had chashu pork belly, and I really liked it, it didn't have really any fat and the broth was also really good. The only thing I didn't like was the bamboo. Our service was good, we were the only people in the restaurant at the time. If I am ever back in Denver, I will definitely come again. read more

Really obscure entrance to this place. Walk through a narrow alleyway to get to their entrance. After walking through their outdoor seating, you reach a small entrance beside the restroom. This appears to be a small house converted into small restaurant, so you might be seated in a small room off the main dining area. Certainly not a venue for quiet intimate conversations. Service was prompt. Flavorsome ramen was delicious but the oxtail could have been cooked a little longer. Not all meat as you'll get some sinew. Broth was flavorful but since I cook oxtail regularly, this could be so much for flavorful. Duck bao buns were delicious. All in all, very good food for the area. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. By far the best Ramen spot in Denver. They also have the best staff! May has been my server probably 8-10 times now and every single time she has gone above and beyond for us! Whatever they are paying her isn't enough!! read more

Denver Ramen Wars! To be fair, I've really only eaten at Uncle and Sera's in town, but had broken in my ramen palette in the Bay area and abroad. To begin, I always loved that the word enclave was in the title of this restaurant. And that it's 'front door' is accessible via the back of an alley. I digress. The ramen: surprise...I ordered the sesame pork belly (because I'm a sucker for tonkotsu broth) TAKE OUT. This means I had to put everything together in a giant bowl at my house. Setup notwithstanding, this was still top 3 favorite ramen I've ever had *and* better than Uncle. Uncle is still quite good, so let that settle in -- takeout from Sera's was better than eating in at Uncle. Obviously a tiny sample size, so will need to revalidate this hot take. But absolutely you should visit. read more

Little hidden gem. If you are looking for authentic Japanese ramen then this is not the place. The ramen they served here is modern fusion. We ordered the flavorsome ramen (oxtail, enoki mushroom, cubicles, butter lettuce, seaweed, etc)and the sesame pork belly ramen ( chasu, soft boil egg, bamboo shoot, seaweed, etc) Both were delicious and I love the modern take on the ramen. The ramen was al dente, the broth was perfectly balanced and flavorful. I like the broth here cause it's not overwhelming salty like most places. We were on the rush to eat and go but will be back to get other selections on the menu. read more

So I was born and raised in Denver and this is hands down the best ramen I have ever had in Colorado. I literally have zero complaints about this place. The service was amazing, the seating is so cute and tucked away, the presentation of everything we ordered was stunnnning, and everything we ordered was delicious. I never leave reviews (good or bad) but we were so impressed that I just felt inclined to let everyone know. This is legit a 5 star establishment in every way. Just for reference! We ordered: - vegan ramen with side of chili paste - spicy dachi miso ramen with chicken - crab cake wontons I'll post a photo of the wontons too because they were so yummy and pretty :) read more

Great food. Just know that this is more of a Vietnamese style ramen. So the flavors are different. Don't come in expecting Japanese style ramen and you will enjoy it.

Intimate. Beautiful. I went here tonight and opted to sit on the patio. I'm glad I did. The string lights really gave it a romantic ambiance. The servers were amazing. They stayed top notch the whole time I was there. Please do yourself a favor and get the egg rolls. They're served with thick slices of cucumber and a panty dropping dipping sauce. I got the ox tail ramen. And let me tell you: wow. Words can't even begin to describe the different depths of flavor in the broth. The ox tail is the star though. It is so, so tender and flavorful. The noodles are chewy and fresh. The ramen is served in a huge bowl, and about halfway through I couldn't breathe because I was so stuffed. But let me tell you what... MY MAMA DIDN'T RAISE NO QUITTER and I powered through. So here I am... sitting in my car, barely breathing, but wanting to spread the word that this place is legit and everyone needs to go. read more
