Tokio

2907 Huron St #103, Denver, CO 80202

Walking into Tokio, I knew immediately from the ambiance and the smells cascading the air, I would have an unforgettable meal. The lighting was warm and the decor was welcoming and classy. The walls were decorated with Japenese art pieces and lanterns hovered over a few select tables. The service was exceptional, the waiter we had felt like a friend and had great recommendations for us. When I say their ramen is authentic and delicious, I mean it. They offer tonkatsu, miso, shoyu, and many other wide varieties of ramen. All bowls are under $20, which is a steal considering how much food is piled into each one! Every bowl comes with a heaping amount of noodles, broth, and special toppings depending on your order; from those delicate ramen eggs, pickled bamboo stalks, various veggies, pork, chicken, and fish cakes, and much much more, everyone is sure to find the ramen that satisfies their craving. I know I did! Not only do they have delectable ramen, but Tokio also has a fresh sushi bar (well priced and wide variety, rolls range from $2-$24), and classic Japanese appetizers such as edamame, gyoza, shu mei, and more. To top it all off, they have several flavors of mochi and a Japanese layered cake they get from a local bakery for dessert!

My boyfriend and I ordered the spicy edamame and gyoza, two bowls of ramen, and green tea and mango mochi the night we went. And we had everything down to the last bite! We had a great time sitting at the sushi bar, we got to watch them make our food which was a fun and unique experience. I enjoyed everything we ordered and I felt comfortable and welcomed in the restaurant itself. I will be suggesting Tokio to friends and family from here on out, I think Tokio is a place everyone should experience!
