Such a delightful dining experience in a hectic airport. I was seated quickly and my order was taken shortly after. I ordered the Spicy Garlic ramen. The pork belly was delicious and the broth was tasty. It was spicy, but not too spicy! Overall, tasty food and fair price for an airport dinner.

Must eat! Authentic flavors. Generous portions, and FAST to arrive with the food. The spicy chicken was my favorite, but the pork belly also tasted great. No stringy meat! Just tender.

The Tokyo shoyu is so good! Pork belly is tender and flavorful. The egg is also really good (I don't like eggs). Definitely a place to visit if you're traveling through the Denver airport

We had the Dan Dan noodles and the pork belly noodles. Both were amazing with fresh ingredients!! Pork belly was melt in your mouth, soft boiled eggs were perfection. John was an awesome server/ bartender!!! Super friendly and will definitely come again. Also the playlist was bumpin.
