Ebisu Sushi and Ramen Star

Here on a Sunday afternoon & they are playing my favorite Totoro music & jazz too! The truffle ramen tastes authentic & I love their chestnut cake - so light & fluffy! Best authentic Japanese ramen experience! The place has very nice ambience.

Excellent ramen and great service. Worth any wait. The spicy ramen was actually spicy and not Denver spicy. The buns are soft and light highly recommended. Worth the effort to make the trip.

I first visited this Japanese ramen restaurant a couple of years ago and was genuinely shocked by how good it was—the flavors were rich, the broth was hot, so even though it was priced quite high, I still think it's worth it. Unfortunately, returning a couple of years later was a major disappointment. We were the first customers of the day, and as soon as we walked in, the restaurant smelled stuffy with an unpleasant sewage-like odor, which immediately set a negative tone. The odour slowly dissipated. We ordered two bowls of ramen and a deep fried squid tentacles. The squid was okay, but the biggest issue was the ramen itself. Both broths were only lukewarm, which was surprising and disappointing. Ramen should be served hot, and it felt like a basic expectation wasn’t met. Given how great

Let me tell you; this was like a taste of home with an uplifted twist! The love for the craft of food would make my obāchan proud. We got Tsukemen (photo) which Daisuke recommended a small amount of lime to cut the buttery richness of the broth. The depth of flavors that were created in the broth really brought the dish home. This paired well with the god of water sake. We also ordered the Temaki (photo) which was an elevated twist of the usual hand roll. I highly recommend coming here.

Ordered the veggie ramen for delivery…after adding tofu, spicy, and an egg it came out be $26. When it arrived it came with less than a cup of broth. The small Togo container was less than a third full, but our other ramen came with a full cup. The broth didn’t even the cover the noodles. It was not spicy and did not come with an egg. I usually can’t even eat half of a ramen portion and I finished it less than 2 minutes. Wouldn’t pay more than $10 for this size portion. The noodles were fantastic and the pierogi was really good. Interested to see if it’s better for dining in.
