OTOTO

I was craving for ramen for sometime and decided to search for the best ramen in Denver and this place popped up as the number 1 in Denver.

At first I was kind of hesitant to try out the place because it was an Asian fusion place but when I saw the chef’s special was a whole fried fish I was very happy.

Went there on a Friday and didn’t even cross my mind I had to make reservations! Mind you this was before COVID!! We went in and the hostess said it would be a 40 min wait. We had 2 toddlers lol. Luckily they were able to seat us in 15 mins.

The ramen and whole fried fish was soo delicious. We asked our ramen to be spicy because we love spicy food. The server was amazing and did exactly what we asked for. Definitely recommend this place to anyone

We've been trying to work through places listed as the best eateries in Denver and this was on a list. Although we were going to try a new place each week, we've already been here twice. The service is excellent and the food is delicious. Just a nice place to go!

Ototo has adapted to the pandemic by offering thier cold plates cafe-style, pre packaged. Hot dishes like ramen are prepared to order either for carry-out or dine in. There are several new tables outside and the opened windows on nice days make the space open and airy.

We visited Ototo for the first time last week. The selection of sake is great. We started with Suigei (Drunken Whale) which was light and refreshing with the whole squid as an appetizer. We very much enjoyed the Tonkotsu Ramen with bok choy, mushrooms, egg, scallions, and pork. The crunchy spicy tuna roll was full of flavor; it was our favorite. Wagyu beef was good, but a bit chewy. We capped the night with a more spicy sake which included anise. A wonderful experience, and we'll be back!

Great atmosphere, excellent service, food came out fresh, surprisingly fast and tasted delicious. I took my son here for for mama son date during happy hour so we tried a few new items. Moderately priced but can get pricey if you order a lot of different things like we did but for a nice date or celebration, this place is where its at! We tried the honey glazed eggplant. Not sexy looking like some of their other dishes but wow is it delicious! The miso soup has a little extra than other restaurants, those mushrooms really add something. Watch the hours, during the week they open at 430 so try their sister restaurants on the same block for business meetings.

Had a great birthday meal out with my wife, my sister and my mom....Ototo was a great find; awesome service and for me, a bowl of miso ramen with pork that was out of this world, at a $14.00 entree price. My sis was over the moon about her smoked salmon choice, and all of us raved about the brussels sprouts! Mousse cake was a great shared treat for dessert. Even the venue has great design--- just an amazing Denver restaurant.

Innovative menu with options for all occasions. The tonkotsu ramen was outstanding and is definitely worth getting. From the same folks behind Sushi Den, no wonder they had all around great service and food.

This restaurant is a beautiful place in the trendy Pearl Street area of Denver. They offer fabulous fresh sushi, tasty Ramen bowls, lots of grilled small plates and good appetizers. Everything was excellent. The small plates were small portions. However, the Ramen bowls are huge. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars was because we had one of those waiters who was in such a hurry he just could not wait to listen to all of our orders. Do to this haste, he missed orders twice. I watched him and there was no need. He just was not that busy. Just really not a friendly guy. He just did not want to interact with the customers

Some truly amazing food and a great place for dining. It can be fancy or fairly casual. The chefs are great if you sit up by them! Friendly staff and service. I had the vegetarian ramen bowl and was excited for every bite and slurp! Anything on the menu was absolutely delicious. Also tried some duck and it was cooked to perfection. They have some great drink options as well!

Fantastic, inventive menu! We went for a date night out and shared a variety of small plates. The crispy spicy tuna was so good that we ended up getting two orders. The Brussels sprouts were to die for, as were the gyoza. As the tables next to us were served I kept wanting to get what they had because the food was so beautiful! I would love to come back and try all of the other dishes.
