Denver's ramen picks — cross-referenced from Westword's 2026 Best Ramen editorial pick, Westword's Readers' Choice for Ramen, and 5280's Best Ramen Spots guide.
- #1
Uncle
Highland
“Westword Readers' Choice Best Ramen in both 2024 and 2025, and featured on every 5280 list — chef Tommy Lee's Highland original remains the city's default ramen bowl.”
- #2
TOKIO
Globeville
“Westword's 2026 editorial Best Ramen — chef Miki Hashimoto special-orders noodles to spec and serves a range from classic tonkotsu to the Cremoso Diablo cream-and-cheese bowl.”
- #3
Dragonfly Noodle
Downtown
“Westword's 2026 list standout and a 5280 pick — a modern 16th-Street noodle house whose resident noodle-making machine Rama produces springy strands for standouts like butter lobster ramen.”
- #4
Ebisu Sushi and Ramen Star
Sunnyside
“Featured in 5280's ramen guide — a tiny, owner-run Sunnyside counter that keeps the bowl-count small and the broth dialed.”
- #5
Neko Ramen & Rice
Park Hill
“Named in Westword's 2026 Best Ramen guide — a Colorado Boulevard counter slinging crave-worthy tonkotsu and shio bowls at a neighborhood price.”
