TOKIO · Globeville
Chef Miki Hashimoto special-orders noodles to spec and serves a range from classic tonkotsu to the Cremoso Diablo cream-and-cheese bowl.
Dragonfly Noodle · Downtown
A modern 16th-Street noodle house whose resident noodle-making machine Rama produces springy strands for standouts like butter lobster ramen.
Neko Ramen & Rice · Park Hill
A Colorado Boulevard counter slinging crave-worthy tonkotsu and shio bowls at a neighborhood price.
Katsu Ramen · Aurora
Katsu Ramen serves Japanese noodle bowls from a South Havana Street storefront in Aurora. The kitchen offers pork and chicken broths, along with miso, curry and tan tan styles. Order the black garlic tonkotsu: garlic oil gives the pork broth a deep, earthy aroma, while slices of pork, bok choy, bean sprouts and noodles fill out the bowl. The range makes this a useful stop when the table wants different broth styles but everyone came for ramen.
