Reviews of Uncle

Very long wait. Decent food. The hanger steak with potatoes was one of the best things I’ve eaten in recent memory. I don’t like the fact that you have community tables. Lastly I don’t like how you cannot modify any dish whatsoever yet they ask if you have any food allergies. I highly recommend this place, and it’s very affordable.

Overall, the food is good, the service is great and the staff is very kind. I had high hopes given Uncle’s reputation, and I found it to be subpar to my expectations. I got the khao soi and the flavor wasn’t quite there for me - I personally think it needed a bit more acid (more lime would’ve been great) and cilantro. An easy fix, but overall, worth a visit. Note that they include a 15% service charge on all bills!

The ramen here is so good! It was 7 o’clock on a Friday night so they were poppin! We snagged two seats at the bar which gives you an up close view of the kitchen and chefs working hard! The waitress recommended the fried eggplant bao buns and they were delicious but could totally skip and just have the ramen. The spicy chicken bowl, oh my! It was spicy and savory and just everything I wanted. Will definitely come back and order that again. We also ordered the chili beef bowl (which is hotter than the spicy chicken bowl, fyi) which tasted awesome too. Can’t wait to come back!

Our go to place for Birthdays, Anniversaries, or anytime we crave Noodles! Any excuse to come down the Mountain for The BEST Ramen🍜, Uncle is the place!! We always try a couple of their small plates which always meet the taste buds with top notch ingredients. The pork belly buns are some of our families favorite but honestly they are ALL Delicious! The spicy chicken ramen is what we always get sometimes substituting the chicken for Duck😋. Their cocktails are always a must have! They have a rotating menu but some of the staples are always there! The Highlands location is the OG but seating can be tight so if that’s not your thing, the Lo Hi location is more spacious! Must try if you in the Denver Area!

Uncle is one of the OGs of Denver Ramen and deserves its place as one of the best. Spicy chicken ramen is pictured but I've had numerous great bowls from them. I think the menu has sprinklings of Americanize izakaya food and real japanese parts as well that make choosing your food fun and interesting. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful especially with drink recommendations off the great imported list of sake, shochu etc. My only complaint speaks to their success. Getting in can be difficult if you can't wait and the staff is often so busy its hard to grab them if you need something. I'm looking forward to another winter day when I can sit down with another one of their fantastic bowls.

You need to stop by and eat at uncles! The best part of uncle ramen is the noodles and broth!!!! Amazing flavors! Got some vegetarian and spicy chicken as main ramen course. Serving sizes are huge! Appetizers are so so good too! Pork belly buns melts in your mouth! Staff are friendly and atmosphere is on point! Music choice in the restaurant is amazing! Took some photos!

I first had this in 2017. I remember how delicious it was and always wanted to go back. Fast forward to 2023 we drove and hour to get here from the springs. Well worth it as I could remember. My go to is the chicken ramen. I try new apps everytime and it’s outstanding. It’s warm, wholesome, fresh ingredients and can’t go wrong with whatever you pick. I highly recommend this place! 11/10 stars (: yum.

5 starts all around. Uncle is incredible. The the quality and flavors of each dish is unmatched. Their Khao Soi ramen is delicious and every bite is loaded with rich flavor. Their staff is extrémala friendly and inviting. I recommend sitting at the bar and seeing the chefs do their magic. They have good vegetarian options and their prices are reasonable. The eggplant buns are tasty but I would have liked for the bun to be softer and for the sauce to be more unique, regardless it was still great.

Visited on a Saturday night and sat at the bar. Place was vibrant. I watched the guys creating the dishes, and it seems they have a well-oiled machine of efficiency. I started with a cocktail, the Pile Driver, which was heavenly! I ordered Spicy Chicken Raman with the spicy sauce on the side. Loved it! I was glad to just add a bit of the spice until I knew I could handle it. I loved it all! Street parking was a little challenging. I had to loop around the block a few times and ended up two blocks away.

I ordered the tonkotsu ramen and the fried eggplant bun. I had previously ordered take-out from Uncle and it wasn’t as good. The fried eggplant bun was absolutely amazing. I had never eaten an eggplant bun and it was crispy on the outside with a strong taste of spicy mustard (I think and juicy ingredients inside - it was very tasty. The ramen was very good. First I tasted the broth and it was a rich flavorful broth and I could taste the fat from the pork and other deliciousness. It was not a heavy broth though I feel the ingredients paired well. I dont think the arugula (I think that’s the green salad in the picture) was relevant to this plate and I would’ve preferred some bamboo shoots or something else, or get rid of the arugula entirely. Ramen and salad have no place together. The chashu pieces were thick and juicy which surprised me because they were so big. The noodles were ok, I couldn’t tell if they were homemade or not but they did stick to the broth well but not the best noodles I’ve had, but very good! This is the best ramen shop I’ve been to in Denver so far and I highly recommend this place! It is VERY good. The overall vibe is great and I really liked our server he did a great job. I’m already craving it so I will definitely be back.
