Casual but efficient staff in a casual and quite loud environment. A bit overpriced, but overall good food and tasty spirits. The flavors in the duck ramen varied and complimented each other well. And the pork belly bao was the best I've had in Denver and the others have been quite good as well. The sauce here on the bun site my palette better with less ginger. The mezcal in the old fashioned was nice and smoky.

We’ve been a few times and the service is always excellent. I was excited to try their sushi and nigiri for the first time and it did not disappoint! My wife and I think they have the best soft shell crab buns we’ve ever had and the ramen was perfect as always. Our server Tony was great along with the whole staff. Uncle is one of our favorite date night spots and we will keep coming back!

We went to Uncle for dinner last night and had an amazing meal. We always bring friends and family that are visiting to Uncle, because we know everyone will be happy with what they get! We ordered bao buns (eggplant and pork belly), pork and cabbage dumplings, cold sesame noodles and the Tokyo Shoyu ramen. Everything was incredible - highly recommend the dumplings!

Two friends invited my wife and I to have dinner at UNCLE on Pennsylvania St at 7:30pm on a Monday night. The dinning room which features an "open kitchen" was clean, very busy, and a bit loud. My wife and I shared Chinese Eggplant Buns, Salmon nigiri, Spicy Tuna Roll, and a bowl of Tokyo Ramen. All the food was perfect. The service was great and very friendly. This was one of the best meals we had on our 10 day vacation. Thank you, chef.
