I came on Christmas Day with my kiddos, in from Houston for the holiday. I just happened to find Nemo’s while searching around the area.. don’t think twice.. do it!! This was the best ramen I have had in all my years of ramen lol. We got the soy garlic chicken, edamame, and the ragoons (can’t recall the name they used here). For our ramens we got the miso- hot, kids ramen, and Tori. Y’all.. that Miso-hot.. didn’t even have to be that good!!! The flavor, heat, and creaminess were on points all the toppings paired well.. and that egg.. was cooked to perfection!! Had me in a choke hold.. and messed my pallet up for any other ramen. The atmosphere was super cute and the employees were great!! Kid friendly, my kids LOVED!! You guys are doing absolutely amazing!! We will be back!!

As a ramen fangirl, I can confidently say this place was great! The service was wonderful. All of the staff members were kind. We had a party of seven, and even though the space is small and we waited for a table for just a few minutes, they were very accommodating and let us move chairs to fit our group at a table. The Ramen and curry were delicious. The stores atmosphere is super cute too! Definitely would recommend.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I have to say this place serves incredibly high quality+authentic food. You can really experience some top level dishes here. The interior was amazing and it honestly felt like stepping into another world and the service was great too. I just wish I had found this place sooner!

Cute spot. Amazing food, will definitely be back. We had the black garlic ramen, Tori chicken ramen, veggie fried rice, spring rolls and gyoza. I will be ordering everything again.

Have you never eaten ramen before? Do you like stale pork? Are instant noodles in cheap broth your favorite dish? If any of the above apply, this place is for you! To everyone else, stay away! I could tell as soon as I walked in it would be bad. People with no taste in decor aren’t going to have any taste in food either. The karaage was pretty good though.

Neko Ramen was absolutely fantastic! One of the best ramen spots I have been to. The servers were very nice and the interior was very cute. Highly recommend!

This is such a cute little spot! We loved how they went all-in on the neko theme with cats everywhere—it gave the place so much character. We were a little bummed they didn’t have tonkatsu ramen, but the ramen we did try was tasty. The curry had a unique flavor, definitely different from what we were expecting. Our kids really enjoyed the chicken and gyoza, though we felt four pieces for the price wasn’t quite enough. The service was quick and attentive, and overall it was a good experience!

A fantastic spot that truly delivers on flavor and experience. If you're looking for delicious ramen, this is the place! The Black Garlic Ramen and the Corn Butter Ramen has a flavorful and comforting broth. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the toppings were fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with cat-themed decor throughout. The staff is also friendly and attentive, making the dining experience enjoyable. Highly recommended! Definitely order the Crispy Chicken and the Bang Bang Shrimp!!!

I tried Neko Ramen after seeing social media posts about how cute it is. And the decor is really fun and cute! I tried the Corn ramen, also because it was recommended. I didn't know what to expect, but it was incredible - one of my favorite ramens I've ever had in Denver. It felt very comforting and delicious.

I went here on a date so no pictures :( but the flavors will be in my memory forever! Large parking lot shared with surrounding businesses. I saw a tiktok for this place advertising their cat themed decor and flavorful broth. I confirm, both did not disappoint! The decor was on point! So many cute cat references and the classic white cat waving statues. If you like cats, I would go just to see the theme. I got the miso ramen. The broth was so flavorful! It was rich and savory! It comes with an egg and pork belly. The pork was cooked well and I think the egg was soft boiled! They serve it in a large bowl with plenty of noodles! Reasonably priced too, about $15 for my bowl (after tax). Overall I would definitely go back with friends.

Cute small place with fun decors. Service: ordering is done through kiosk and you select your number and find a table. They will not place your order if you don't have a table. Food: one of the best ramen spot I've food in Denver so far. I got the black garlic noodle. Flavor was there. I wish they did have the option to choose how the noodles are cooked. I've had better charsu. Con(s): space is very limited

Great little spot. The ramen portions are HUGE. We couldn't finish though somehow the guy next to us who got his food 1 minute before us finished his entire bowl before we even got our chopsticks open. Food was flavorful. I got the creamy vegan ramen. It has brussel sprouts and vegan meat crumbles. Very delicious. My wife got a regular pork ramen. For some reason ALL their ramen bowls except one use a chicken broth. Seemed weird but she said it still tastes yummy. I would go again. Filled me up for the day. Super cute decorations. Lots of lucky cats everywhere.

I recently gave Neko Ramen & Rice a try after noticing its appealing storefront and trendy ambiance on some online photos. The decor is definitely a strong point. The place is filled with fun Japanese paraphernalia that creates a cool, immersive atmosphere reminiscent of a Tokyo ramen bar. Ordering is done via kiosk, which is convenient enough. After placing my order, I received a number and waited about 15 minutes for the food to be ready. The process was smooth, though the staff seemed pretty uninterested and disengaged. Not rude, but definitely not warm or welcoming. As for the food: I had higher hopes. I got the spicy miso ramen, and it tasted fairly generic and lacked that rich, deep umami flavor that defines a good bowl. The broth didn't stand out in any particular way, and the pork was overly salty -- to the point it tasted like it had been over-marinated or left too long in soy sauce. It wasn't inedible, but it wasn't satisfying either. Coming from Southern California, I've had better spicy miso ramen. Overall, while the setting and concept are appealing, the actual food and service didn't live up to my expectations. I really wanted this to be a new favorite spot, but unfortunately, it left me a bit disappointed. There's potential here, but it needs more attention to flavor and guest experience to stand out.

I came to Neko Ramen & Rice for a late dinner. Upon arriving, the place was packed, but despite this, the line moved fairly quickly. The speedy service continued after I had placed my order, with my food coming out within several minutes. As for the quality of the food, it was pretty good for a fast-casual restaurant. The broth was flavorful and complemented the chicken, whereas the egg was perfectly poached. On top of the excellent service, two employees here have the same first name as me! Overall, I would recommend Neko Ramen & Rice if you're looking for good quality ramen served at breakneck speeds.

Pretty nice ramen shop in Denver! We were able to go inside as soon as they opened so I grabbed some photos. The ramen was pretty tasty, the staff was super sweet and I loved the interior design of the place!

Such a cute spot. Doesn't hold a lot of patrons on the inside but they sure do turn and burn Togo orders! The staff were all super friendly and nice. This is an order at the front and they'll bring you your food type of place but the employees were still coming around and asking if everything was going okay and if we needed anything. There were only two front of house employees and they were doing awesome. Food! The ramen was amazing! Probably top 3 places in Denver to get Ramen. Everything about it was so good.

Amen, Ramen! That's exactly what you'll be saying after dining at Neko. They've got an amazing selection of ramen, rice dishes, apps, and soju, plus such fun decor and I'm obsessed with the vibe here! And let me tell you, the food matches (or even beats) the vibe. For my first visit, I had to try some of their most popular dishes! What I tried: MI-SO HOT - Chicken broth, spicy miso paste, pork chashu (pork belly), egg, bean sprouts, grilled onions & green onions CURRY CHICKEN BOWL - Curry, steamed white rice, pickled Japanese radish Green Apple Soju Best bites: I only tried two dishes, but both were fantastic! The ramen broth was spicy, rich, and packed with flavor, and the pork belly was the perfect protein for it. The curry chicken bowl was next-level and the curry itself was incredible, and the pickled jalapeño radish? A perfect addition. If you haven't been yet, check them out! I cannot wait to go back and try more.

This is such a cute ramen place. If you love cute things, this place is worth visiting once. The wall is covered with neko cats and there's a sailor moon eating ramen neon light. It's filled with fake cherry blossoms. Definitely like the vibe of this place a lot. The food is pretty good. The noodles are nice and chewy. The black garlic ramen had a lot of flavor. The charsiu tasted very good in the broth. The bang bang shrimp was very tasty and comes with six pieces. The takoyaki was also really good. There are lots of tables to eat. It is a self serve place so you put your dirty dishes away up front near a counter. This is a great place to go to if you're eating dinner past 7pm and want something better than fast food drive through.

Trendy Japanese ramen place for gen z customers. Cute decorations, huge bowl but just normal portion, order at the counter, food served at table with table number. Got number from counter to use restroom. We ordered black garlic, miso hot, Tori, corn butter, Everybody is happy with the food and clear the bowls. Only complain is the eggs are not marinated and cooked right. Minus one star.

Happened to kind of stumble into this place with my family after picking them up from the airport, and it was pretty busy considering it was 10:30 at night. I liked all of the decor! We managed to snag a table and the food was quite good, notably all of their ramens. Noodles had a good chew and the broths were yummy/very umami. The poke bowl was a little underwhelming, and felt like the protein was kind of skimping (only reason this isn't a 5 Star). Would definitely go back for their ramens and would be great as a late night meal!

I ordered DoorDash from here and I liked how I had a lot of customizing I can do with my ramen like remove toppings or add toppings. I ended up just removing green onions and it came with a soft boiled egg and some bean sprouts and of course pork. It was very good and the right amount of spicy. The egg was cooked perfectly. I also got the bang bang shrimp. The batter was crispy and it was a good starter. I love that there is a variety of things on the menu and I will definitely try more!

The owner must be obsessed with cats, given the name of the restaurant ("neko" is cat in Japanese) and the interior which has more maneki-neko (beckoning cat) figurines than I have ever seen in one place. Not to mention all the cat drawings, including a series of tatooed, yakuza-style kitties. Maneki-neko bring good luck in Japan and I had the good luck to find this somewhat odd little place. It looks like it should be a branch of yet another fast food chain, but it is a standalone, family-owned restaurant with carefully, made-to-order food. The menu is focused on ramen with six basic varieties, mostly using chicken or chashu (pork belly). There's also a vegan option and a kid's version. There are 15 choices for extra toppings. I don't think most people will find these necessary, although I do like to add a second egg to my order. If you don't want soup, you can get fried rice or a rice bowl with pork or chicken. There are a variety of appetizers including dumplings (gyoza), shrimp, a pork bun, chicken, egg rolls, wontons, Brussels sprouts, edamame (soy beans), and takoyaki (octopus balls). Besides fountain drinks there are sone canned teas, Japanese sodas (Ramune), and a small selection of sake and bottled beer. I've tried the black garlic, miso, and tori ramen, the first two with pork belly and the latter with chicken. Are these the best ramen ever? No. However the broth has been made with care, all of the ingredients are very fresh, and the pork and chicken are tender and flavorful. The ramen is served in beautiful, porcelain bowls--not cheap plastic. That definitely elevates the experience. You order and pay at the counter, receive a number on a stand, find a seat, and a pleasant staffer brings your order to you. There's comfortable, inside seating for about 25-30. This is not fast-food. Expect your order to take 12-15 minutes to prepare. We arrived just a few minutes after opening and the space was already two-thirds full with take out orders starting to stack up. I've enjoyed the food, the service, and the ambiance here. If you're feeling down, a bowl of delicious ramen and a wall of lucky cats is sure to cheer you up. Give it a try!

Short: Fast service, featuring tasty food! Atmosphere is friendly and the restaurant is super clean. Long: I went out to grab a quick bite to eat for lunch and was extremely impressed with Neko Ramen and Rice. First the place is super nice, clean and a great atmosphere, and the service is great as well. I ordered a Bao bun and the black garlic ramen. Both were exceptional, I really enjoyed the black garlic ramen, as I do love super garlic-y things. The broth is full of flavor and the pork belly is super tender. Both items came out quickly for a speedy dine in experience!

Place seemed small from the outside but once you step in, it really opened up. Spacious and beautiful. The decorator did a great job. You find yourself constantly looking at all the details they put into the store. Love it. As for the food. It was great. We ordered takoyaki, kirage, miso ramen , and spicy miso ramen. They all turned out delicious. The broth was creamy and perfect. I had the spicy ramen and the meat in the ramen had a smokey flavor and the noodles were cooked perfectly. My wife enjoyed her ramen too. Nothing but clean plates when we left Parking want a problem either. We grabbed a spot immediately, even though it was quite busy. Only negative comment was where we were sitting. The table got cold Everytime someone opened the door. Can't control that though. There was a lot of people coming here. Definitely would recommend coming here. Enjoy.

Cute decor paired with late night ramen? It was flavorful and fantastic. Their team was very attentive to our table with clearing dishes and checking to see if everything was going well. I ordered the Black Garlic Ramen and really liked that I could order extra pork chashu and egg. The crispy chicken was meaty and crunchy. The cream cheese wontons were packed to the brim which I really appreciated. I'll be back to try the pokè and pork buns soon!

Neko ramen was an extremely pleasant find after landing late on a breezy Denver night. After looking over the board to order, I opted for the miso ramen and the bf went with the butter corn ramen. We also added brussel sprouts for health. The sprouts came out first and I really enjoyed the fact that they were actually crispy! More than that, the sweet soy citrus sauce was really tasty! The threads of saffron were also a nice touch! When it came to my ramen, I enjoyed the chicken based broth a lot! It was very flavorful, almost velvety. I really liked that it was also not too salty. The pork slices were super tender and the poached egg was a nice touch. While it didn't include some more traditional toppings like woodear or bamboo, I did appreciate the crunch from the marinated bean sprouts and the umami from the fried shallots. The noodles also looked handmade and had a good chew to them. We did redeem the Yelp offer for a melon ramune and it was definitely a shot of nostalgia! Tasty meal overall!

It was very good. I got the bang bang shrimp, black garlic ramen, miso hot ramen, and Brussels sprouts. All of it was super good especially the Brussels sprouts, I wish it was a bigger portion. The ramen broth is thick and delicious. Service is really good, the restaurant is smaller so sometimes you gotta share a table with others but it's fine. Ambiance is pretty chill and lowkey. I loved it.

Pre museum visit, my bf and I ended up at Nemo's since a neighboring business was closed (for unknown reasons). We had a great experience too! The food arrived quickly and was absolutely delicious. I ordered a bowl and added egg rolls as part of the lunch special--it was a generous portion, and I still had leftovers to take home. The flavors were spot-on, and everything was fresh and satisfying. The only downside is the limited seating on-site, but they make up for it with easy options for takeout and delivery through their website. If you're craving tasty ramen, this place is definitely worth trying, especially the garlic chicken. Nom nom!

Love this spot so much, it's a new go to for us. Ambiance is nice, service is great and we haven't had anything on the menu that we didn't like. The vegan ramen (with an added egg) is my favorite and then the bang bang shrimp - so good!

Writing an update to boost Neko Ramen up to 5 stars! One year later, it's still my go-to ramen place, and I've widely recommended it to others who have said the same. Honestly, it started out with many late-night visits because no other ramen places in Denver are open until 11pm or midnight. I always get the same thing - Black Garlic Ramen with RIP Sauce on the side. And hot sake of course. Still never TOO busy in this strip mall, so get it while you can!

Neko ramen was a cute and cozy ramen shop serving up hot ramens and curries. You order at the front and seat yourself and the waiters will bring out your food - fast casual style. The miso ramen was delicious, especially the noodles since they were cooked so perfectly. We also tried the pork buns which just okay. And the prices were very affordable. It was pretty busy inside and only a hand full of tables, but luckily we were able to grab a four top. The staff was super kind as well. This would be a great spot for take out if I lived in the area!

Very tasty and fast. Fresh ingredients. Hard to get a table! Appreciate order at the counter style. Ramen is reasonably priced. Appreciate the vegan option but also wish they had a vegetarian one. Shrimp appetizer was tasty but pricey.

This place is 10/10! The food was amazing! It was some of the most flavorful food we have ever had at a ramen shop. The bang bang shrimp are a must! So is the pork bun! The spicy miso ramen had a unique in-house spice that could not be replicated at any other shop! It was unlike any spicy ramen we have ever had. The chicken curry was made with Japanese fried chicken, and had extra flavor and spice compared to other Japanese curries I have had. The atmosphere is super cute, and it makes you feel welcome and comfortable! I cannot wait to come back and try more items!

Good ramen spot. It's not particularly central to anything, in a little strip of restaurants off of i70 but makes it feel like a cool hidden spot. The decor is fun and different. We had a ramen and a poke bowl for our entrees and both were delicious. We tried the fried chicken for our app and it was my favorite. Service was quick.

I'm eating this by food standards. Yesterday I went for lunch because I was craving soup and Ramen always hit the spot. The place is nice and the service was also nice. Loved the decorations and the ambiance. The broth was delicious is a good place for a quick ramen craving. It wasn't that hot thought. I tried to put more heat in to it and definitely gave me a kick. The pork was super tender it was amazing. If you are looking for a quick ramen fix this is the spot for you.

Cool lay out, appreciate the aesthetic - kind of feels like ichiran minus the stalls. For the price of the ramen, I would've liked to see table service as opposed to ordering at the counter. It also created for more of a hectic food court style dining experience where you have to bus your own tables. The ramen was good, but not to die for. I ordered the black garlic one with a side of kimichi. The broth was flavorful and had a nice touch of garlic and green onions. Overall it was good but not amazing, wish they figured out the ordering service situation because that level of chaos would deter me from eating there in the future.

I didn't realize it was an "order at the counter and get it served" place which I really dislike. Seems like a way to skirt waitstaff of tips to me... I digress This place is fairly small, about 6 tables and maybe some high top chairs along the window. We thankfully got there just in time to grab and save the one open table before our friends got there. I got the spicy miso ramen and a water. They do sell alcoholic beverages and sodas as well. Food took a bit to come out, but my ramen was very good. Broth was tasty, not too salty, and the meat was super tender. The menu is relatively small, but you don't need much from a ramen place, I don't think. I was very happy with my choice! The decor was cute inside as well - plenty of cats (as the name might suggest!)

If you're looking for Ramen, LOOK NO FURTHER. NEKO is here to satisfy your Ramen craving. I was highly impressed with this place! It's going to be really hard to beat this one!! I came here on a Friday night and it was bustling with people! Great thing is that it is located in a plaza with a good sized parking lot. The front staff were super welcoming and friendly. There seemed to so many different options but she recommended the Black Garlic Ramen and I got it substituted with chicken instead of pork. The bang bang shrimp seemed to help really popular so I will have to come back to try that one... The broth was so good - it had a deep flavor and all of the toppings meshed so well together. I will be back here many more times!! I also loved the interior design of the place. The high ceilings give it a fancier feel but all of the signage and decorations makes it feel cozy! This place seems perfect to come alone or in a group!

If you're looking for a cute and simple ramen dinner this is your spot! It's nice to be getting some quality ramen/asian eateries up north so we can avoid having to drive to Aurora whenever we have a craving. It's a smaller style restaurant so definitely plan accordingly if you're going during prime eating times or with big families. Tables are first come, first served. The soy garlic chicken was definitely my favorite! Juicy, tender chicken - Yumm! I especially loved the fried garlic on top. I tried the Tori ramen and they prepared the ramen noodles exactly how I like them - Al dente. The broth and toppings were good but I felt as if the flavor wasn't there for me. The egg in my ramen is my favorite thing to look forward to but I wasn't a fan of how soft they cooked it. I didn't eat it.

I chose this place because it was on the way from the airport to Keystone. I was hesitant as soon as I saw the menu because they only have chicken broth and I'm used to pork broth. Ultimately if you gave me this broth without telling me it was chicken broth, I wouldn't have guessed it! Black Garlic Ramen Broth - 5 stars (hearty and flavorful) Pork Chashu - 1 star (overcooked and too chewy) Price - A bit expensive: $16.95 Service - 5 stars Ambience - 5 stars (casual, quick)

Went out on a limb and tried the black garlic ramen and it was slurping good! We ordered to go so can't say much about eating in but the food was ready when we came to pick it up and it was hot still when we got home. Only reason it's not 5 stars is because I thought it was a tad pricey for the amount of food we got but would go back again for sure.

I ordered Neko via DoorDash. My expectations were tempered because I understand freshness is typically sacrificed with delivery, but Neko nailed it. I ordered the miso ramen with no egg and an appetizer of the bang bang shrimp. I also ordered a side of chili/spicy paste (kudos for having this option!) for $1 and a side of extra noodles for $2. Highly recommend bang bang shrimp- great app! The shrimp was still warm and breading on the shrimp was crispy even with wait of delivery. The ramen was also excellent. I purposely ordered miso for a more bland flavor. I was surprised about a sweetness to the broth. I liked it but was also glad I had the chili paste to add some balancing heat. I don't disagree with some other reviews this ramen is unique- I'm not a ramen aficionado so I don't know exactly what makes it different but it's good regardless. The noodles and pork chashu were the perfect tenderness after following prep instructions. Great portion, value, and flavor! For a delivery order, it's little things that can make a huge difference on your experience. My order was speedy- it was picked up within 15-20 minutes of ordering. Second, everything was cleanly and neatly packaged and included complimentary chopsticks, plastic soup spoon, and napkins (if you ever ordered delivery ramen, you know that these are luxuries). These brought the sprinkle of ambience from the restaurant to my place. Combination of ramen ingredients and final prep was easy and well directed with clear instructions. Based on this experience, I'm excited to try a dine-in experience and try other ramens on the menu!

Some of the best Ramen I've had in Colorado. Bar is fairly low in Colorado, but this place is pretty good. Got the spicy miso, pork bun, and bang bang shrimp. All was really good, but they might of packaged the ramen early and even though I picked it up at scheduled time it was like warm when I got home. But temp isn't a reason to pull back a star and overall it was good. If you're choosing between apps go bang bang instead of Bun.

When you arrive, you can order at the counter and take a number to your table. Nice little restaurant with six tables and a long counter along the window with about four or five seats. Tip, check in on Yelp before you order for a free drink. The bang bang shrimp was excellent. The Ramen was pretty good, although the egg was a little too soft and the white dissolved before I could get to it. The associates working there were extremely nice and interested in how I enjoyed my meal. They brought my meal to my table, then the person who took my order, came out twice to make sure everything is good. Then the gentleman from the kitchen came out to see if I'm enjoying it and wanted to make sure everything is good. Service was top-notch and I was impressed. The condition of the egg was the only unfortunate part, as that is what I look forward to in my Ramen. Worth the trip and price. Check it out!

About $15-18 for a bowl of ramen. Very limited seating inside. Attentive service. Order at the cash register. Limited menu. The black garlic ramen was tasty. Good flavor. Def lots of garlic. I liked the texture of the noodles- thick and creamy. Comfortably full portion. Would want more ideally. Miso ramen was alright. Would prob try spicy miso if I were to get miso flavored ramen.

We got into Aurora late, checked into our hotel around 10 PM, and were seriously craving some Asian food. We found this ramen place on UberEats and decided to give it a shot--not expecting much, to be honest. But wow, were we surprised! I had the black garlic ramen, and it was amazing--so savory with this incredible garlic aroma that made the whole dish pop. I also tried some of the spicy miso ramen my dad ordered, and it was just as good--perfectly spiced and super flavorful. For a late-night meal, this place really hit the spot. We'll definitely be ordering from here again next time we're in town!

Outstanding ramen and appetizers. The portions are huge and I was able to eat my ramen as left overs as well. I have eaten in, and done doordash, and have had nothing but great experiences. Finally, a more affordable place to keep my ramen addiction going!

I should've gotten katsuramen the flavor the Black Garlic Ramen was a 5/10 it was average with no depth. The spicy miso wasn't spicy and the flavor didn't really stick tothe noodles.

This place has so many cats! The walls are all covered in lucky cats which is so cute and fun. We got ramen but the menu also had sushi options. I had the black garlic ramen and my friend got the corn butter ramen. We demolished our food - it was fantastic!! The servers were very nice although it was mostly self-service -- you order at the counter, they bring your food to your table, and you bus your own table at the end. Very simple and lovely. I posted a picture on Instagram and they DMed me with a coupon for a free appetizer which was so sweet! I'm visiting from out of town though but hopefully I can visit again sometime in the future.
