Oshima Ramen

Truly the best ramen in Denver, and at a reasonable price.  The only thing that keeps this from 5 stars is that the atmosphere is leaves something to be desired.  That said, if I lived closer to this place it would be a weekly stop.  Food is top quality, service is decent, and the price is right.

I'd say this place is worth the drive to check out if you haven't already.  The gyoza are not top notch, but the ramen is excellent.

I've been going here for years, and the ramen is still as delicious as ever!  The owner seems to be aging and I did notice the microwaved gyoza, but food is still tasty!  It's quirky and different and a little messy, and that's part of the charm (if you like that sort of thing).  If you've never been, it's worth a try!

I want to keep loving this place, but the owner isn't making it easy.

The ramen is good, and I love the marinated hard-boiled eggs and thin-sliced pork in particular.  Seriously, THE EGGS.  Why can I not find these elsewhere?

The restaurant itself has issues, however.  It's always been a bit of a dive, and I've been okay with that.  But the hygiene issues that people talk about?  They're not making it up.  It's also looking like the owner needs to get a storage shed somewhere, instead of using the storefront of his own restaurant.

I don't know if it's a lack of effort or pride or what, but this place could be so much better...
