Came here to CO on a trip business and found this unique ramen place. As the name implies, there are LOTS of maneki-neko status/figurings (Japanese beckoning cat) inside the establishment. The decor is definitely an experience! Food wise, since it's a ramen place, I ordered Black Garlic Ramen. The noodle soup is a bit on the lighter side. Normally I would like my pork based ramen noodle soup thick. However it was still flavorful and a unique touch of adding a lightly boiled egg york in the soup (usually traditional ramen includes a half soy sauce-marinated hard boil egg). The pork slices that came with my ramen is just ok. Considering the location though, it's a good place to come by if one is craving for ramen. Come and support your local small businesses.

The MISO RAMEN was delicious! The pork was really tender and I loved the broth. Would definitely order again!

The person in the cash register, stop showing your attitude

Ordered extra egg. Didn't even get ONE egg. This restaurant has gone down hill in the past 6 months. High price poor quality

Very good! Highly recommend the takoyaki(calamari hushpuppies) and black garlic ramen. Super cute vibes. Reasonably priced. Friendly and attentive staff. Clean tables and bathroom. Small but solid beer & sake selection. A place you gotta try if your in north Denver.

My wife and I have been coming here for the last year, hands down the best ramen spot and our favorite date spot. The ramen is delicious, the service is minimal and exceptional. We come here whenever the budget allows, 75% of the time we eat out it is here.Couldn’t recommend enough, great food and great atmosphere. Also THE HOT SAUCE AT THE TABLES IS TOTALLY SLEPT ON!!! Try it!!!

I used to work here 3 years ago so I might be a little biased but since ive tried everything on the menú I can confidently say that theyre still the best and I havent found a better ramen shop yet. Nice to see that they have some new menu items too. And just when you thought the ramen wasn't enough now they offer a free cup of rice to mix with your left over broth at the end! Can't beat that!

Genuinely such an amazing restaurant!! The black garlic ramen is absolutely insane and the pork in it was so good! The ambience is so cute! John is so sweet and the service is really good!! Definitely recommend 10/10

This restaurant is a diamond in the rough for sure. I was extremely impressed with their Ramen, and the entire restaurant in general. I spoke with the manager John who clearly takes pride in his work and his team, and this pride shines through the experience in every way

Love the ramen, very filling great broth, great neighborhood spot

Good food. Great service. Too few tables and seating so you often can’t dine in without a long wait

2026-10-10T05:37:57.967Z

I always like to get takeout great place to eat

Niko ramen has the best ramen in Denver

2026-10-09T03:27:56.831Z

This is only good if you’ve never had ramen that was actually good, i made better instant ramen from costco i couldn’t finish my bowl

On going lack of responsibility here. After leaving my review about being kicked out of the resurant for looking like I work for a living, not being homeless. I receive a reply that it was because of dine in. Funny how the guy told my business partner that they wish they could help people like me but they just cause too much trouble. Look whatever I'm a wook with dread locks but at least be honest and accept responsibility. I was a chef for 14 years. I know the business and how you start to get jaded from the years of unrealistic expectations from customers but this is bs.

Definitely best Ramen place in Denver Metro area that I’ve been so far!! I love their chicken karaage and miso ramen! I’ve been here several times before and they recently added “replace noodles with rice” and I love this option! Sometime I just want warm broth with rice instead of noodles but they also offer free rice refills with purchase if any Ramen or Rice dish!

The manager is a racist jerk. I pull up in a very expensive jeep with a trailer full of moving stuff. Ordered food and went out to let my dog out while waiting for my food. When I return the manager come up and says I have to leave. Refused to give me an explanation other than "I'm an employee. Don't make the rules." Thought it was a joke because my food was Togo but serious as can be this man makes me leave or call the cops. I have dreadlocks, or he's just racist against white people with style? Either way don't go there if you're expecting a basic human decency or respect. $45 for two bowls of ok broth and noodles. Just gonna make my own next time.

Amazing Ramen, Friendly Service and Nice Ambiance. One of the best spots in Denver.
