Jimoto Ramen

As first-time visitors to Aspen, we were thrilled to discover a restaurant that served exceptional cuisine. The miso ramen soup and the tokonsu ramen were both outstanding, and we felt fortunate to have been able to try their secret spicy sauce, which added a new dimension to our meal. The portions were generous, the service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We took advantage of the opportunity to unwind in their lounge, savoring a few sake drinks. Highly recommended. I strongly advocate for it. From a discerning international traveler. Thoroughly impressed!

The food was amazing, the special coconut curry ramen was too good. Mochis were nice. The mountain miso is a proper miso taste you will like it if you like the taste. The Vegeterian ramen was also good. Chicken pieces I felt was less quantity. The place has a vibe. I think it’s one of the places to get good vegetarian dish when you are hungry and need to filll your stomach if you want non American and a reasonable price. It has fortune cookies as well.

I ordered a ramen and a bao bun and paid about $40 total. The staff was very nice and friendly, and the presentation was very pretty. The bao bun was good and the meat was flavorful. The ramen egg was cooked perfectly, and the pork had a good char from being torched, which I really enjoyed. However, I wasn’t impressed by the broth, and the ramen only came with two very thin pieces of pork. Even though the flavor was good, the portion felt a bit small for the $31 price tag. Overall, not a bad meal, but I expected more depth of flavor and a little more substance for the cost.

I support the vision here of having an option for both locals and visitors in Aspen. Unfortunately, the 4 small soup dumplings I had and a beer were $30 and the dumplings were dangerously undercooked. I didn’t want to make a scene, so I just asked a server to ask the kitchen take a look at the dumpling, and they came back reporting that it was fine. Raw ground pork is not a risk I wanted to take.

It's a fun restaurant but the ramen was very plain, and definitely not worth $30. It looked beautiful but lacked any real flavor. I'd have enjoyed instant ramen from the store more. The pork was also pretty tough.

Great little spot in the town..a little tucked in so you kinda have to look for it. I ordered the daily special which was a coconut milk and red curry based dish with pork tenderloin medallions. Really, Really delicious...super tender pork, green onions, mushrooms, a delicious broth with just enough heat to warm you up on a chilly fall evening. We also ordered the seaweed salad and the cucumber salad to accompany my wife's Tonkotsu Ramen...the salads were bright, and refreshing with just enough acid to cut the richness of the ramen. Excellent food in a very warm and inviting venue, its exceptional when its not very busy...probably less so when packed, but our experience was really enjoyable. Don't miss this little gem.

Amazing Asian cafe.Loved that met there ppl from different countries- Croatia and Mexica plus I am by myself Russian and my friend who was with me is Lathvinian.. love cultural and linqual diversity!

Some of the best ramen I’ve ever had. The cucumber salad was great too. Perfect for a chilly night! Slower service on a a Saturday night but that’s to be expected. Wish this place was closer to me- I’d be there quite often!

Amazing food! Cheesesteak dumplings knocked my Sox off! Staff was friendly and so nice! Atmosphere is spot on, lots of local people hanging and chatting. The owner came by and was quite impressive, knows the Aspen food scene and has created a non-snobby really great place. Kudos Mr Bukac!

This place f**ks. Seriously shocked to find an A grade ramen restaurant in aspen. Ramen was perfect. I cannot find a fault, except that I wasn't hungry enough to eat two. I got the pork tonkatsu ramen. Pork was fantastic. Getting a double serving next time. Philadelphia dumpling was surprisingly good, felt more like Gyoza. Overall love this place and will be coming back. Price was very reasonable for Aspen. You might consider it expensive if you've only had cup of ramen.

Decent ramen spot. They have just a couple things on the menu: ramen and dumplings, but both are delicious. The menu itself doesn't mention prices because they vary but happy hour which ends around 5pm ramen is $15 and dumplings are also $15 but it's BOGO. Overall casual dining, recommend if you're looking for something filling and affordable.

I would say it's not the best ramen, but it's good for Aspen. I ordered the vegetarian ramen and came in big bowl with noodles, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, tofu, bean sprouts, corns and garnished in sesame seeds. The broth was good and it's really fills you up. My friend ordered the taco sashimi it was good too. But the dumplings were way too small for the price. Ambiance was very casual, cool music and plenty magazines to read from playboy magazines to living in Japan book. Service was good and overall it was good.

We were very excited to try Jimoto Ramen while visiting Aspen. We were first drawn to coming here because they had great reviews. When we approached the restaurant, a very nice waiter greeted us and asked and immediately made us feel more than welcome. We started with an order of Spicy Pork Gyoza. They were spicy pork dumplings that were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and packed full of flavor. I could've eaten several orders! We ordered the Tokoyo Style Tonkotsu and the Mountain Miso. Both were very good if you like ramen. They even made our daughters their own ramen that only had chicken in it. The menu is very limited which made it easy to decide what we wanted to eat. They have indoor and outdoor seating and even have some very comfy chairs to enjoy if you're not looking to sit at a proper lunch/dinner table. The entire restaurant was very clean, service was top notch and the food didn't disappoint. Be sure to check them out while you're in Aspen.

Very good poke. Nice service. Very easy going atmosphere. Service is good and fast. Family friendly.

Discovered this spot while in Aspen and it is a find if you love Ramen. Very limited menu- basically ramen and dumplings. We had the pork soup dumplings, the cheesesteak dumplings, pork ramen and chicken ramen. All delicious! Really nice decor, vibe and service. Actually got the food to go and they did an excellent job assembling the ramen for optimal home enjoyment. Met the owner who was great. Not cheap, but then again, it's Aspen!

I have eaten here twice. Both times I had a great experience. The menu is simple and I appreciate that. The Ramen was great as were the dumplings and sauces. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. It has been busy both times I have visited. TJ, the manager, is fantastic. He is attentive to the customers needs, makes sure people have a timeline on their food, is quick to provide added service (making sure you have enough of your drinks, clean away the table, etc.) He is certain to greet you as you arrive and warmly say good bye and thank you as you leave. I see other reviews that mention that the Ramen is average - the service alone makes up for that if you find the Ramen average. I also think the pricing is affordable and not out of scope for what you get, especially up against general average pricing in Aspen.

This place is a wonderful addition to the Aspen community! Cool vibe and excellent food. I had the Tokyo ramen and it was amazing, best ramen in town! The dumplings were amazing, some classic flavors with some new fun styles like Philly cheese steak, surprising but just as yummy as everything else. The service was impeccable friendly and attentive! Highly recommend and will be back to try the poke!

The pork ramen was delicious! It's not easy to find a ramen place that does it so delicious. I literally didn't want my dish to finish :) we also had some sake. They have good variety of sake to select from. We will definitely be back for soup dumplings. The ambiance is so quaint and pretty. The gentleman who served us the ramen was polite and friendly. Overall, it was a great experience! They also offer to-go option if anyone needs!

If you'd like to pay $25 for noodles that were somehow mushy and undercooked at the same time AND feel ill for hours after, this is the place for you. I'd give 1 star but the ume flavored black vinegar served with the soup dumplings was very nice.

The ramen is not great. Very bland , you'd expect more than 2 pieces of pork and bean sprouts. The rest was just mushy ramen noodles However I will give it another try with the Poke since I heard it's good. Unfortunately we don't have more ramen options in Aspen

great fun , casual, priced reasonable. manager Jojo (JT) was very friendly, helpful , really offered great service on his part. Worth trying because of the manager !

Their hours state that they are open until 8 PM. I showed up at 2:30, paid $10 for parking out on the street then found out they don't open until 4 PM. Do not go by the hours listed on yelp.

Awesome food, drinks and experience. Actual vegan ish options which is rare in these parts.

Wow, totally delicious tonkotsu ramen. (And I lived in Japan for a couple of years so I am picky about my ramen). They lightly grill the chashu pork belly, yum. Egg was perfect. Can't wait to try the miso ramen and soup dumplings next time. Love the interior and vibes, and that they offer a Bowl Club (discount ramen and beers) to support the locals. Takeout available.
