In case you missed it — and most of Denver did because the event sold out so quickly — Sushi Ronin’s Corey Baker won Monday night’s Ramen Showdown at Departure. In honor of our favorite 20-cent pack o’ instant noodles-turned-steaming bowls of broth-y art, here are eight spots at which to get your ramen slurp on.
What started as a special has become the must-order bowl of noodles at Uncle. The Spicy Chicken Ramen, with its kicky, creamy sesame broth and bobbing poached egg, should be on everyone’s ramen bucket list. 2215 W. 32nd Ave., Denver, 303-433-3263; uncleramen.com
Want your ramen served with seven authentic Asian side dishes? Of course you do, which is why you’ve probably been visiting Domo, perhaps Denver’s most ambient Japanese restaurant, for years. 1365 Osage St., Denver, 303-595-3666; domorestaurant.com
The Sakura Square staple Sakura House has nine different types of ramen on the menu, and you can’t go wrong with any of them. 1255 19th St., 303-292-2323; sakurasquare.com
Osaka Ramen’s Tonkotsu bowl is pretty much the opposite of fast food. It takes 36-48 hours of simmering to get the porky broth just right. 2611 Walnut St., 303-955-7938; osakaramendenver.com
Bones made ramen trendy in Denver when it opened in late 2008. Almost a decade later, the Lobster Ramen is still one of the city’s best bowls. 701 Grant St., Denver, 303-860-2929; bonesdenver.com
You may think you know ramen, but have you tried dipping ramen? Tokio is the rare spot serving soup-less ramen (Tsuke Men) with a side of hot pork dipping broth. 2907 Huron St., Denver, 720-639-2911; mytokio.com
Traditionalists head to Aurora for Katsu Ramen’s freshly-made noodles and long-simmered broths. 1930 S. Havana St., Aurora, 303-751-2222; ramendenver.com
Sakana Sushi & Ramen has five different ramens on the menu (including the rich Curry Ramen and simple Shio Ramen), plus northern Japanese-style add-ons like butter and corn. 7520 Sheridan Blvd., Westminster, 303-429-6646; sakanasushiramen.com
