Tycoon Ramen and Sushi

I wish that I was a ramen aficionado. I mean, the real kind. Not the «college kid on a budget kind who eats it because it costs a dime.» Or the «I’m so hungover and I can’t eat anything except ramen, on the couch, in my jammies, while I wait for my headache and nausea to go away» kind. Or the «I’m so drunk, it’s 2 AM, and nothing sounds good except for ramen with a shit ton of hot sauce and cut up hot dogs» kind of ramen.
Don’t judge me.
Much like phở, good ramen starts out with a nice tasty broth. A rich broth that has just enough flavor to both coat the noodles and provide a tasty river of warmness for your throat down to your stomach for a filling morsel of goodness.
Tycoon does just this with their lobster ramen. Did I just say that? Yes I did. Ramen with LOBSTER in it. Nothing new I know, but hot damn! When I was younger, I never thought of putting lobster in my ramen. Big olé chunks of baby lobster thrown in with a wonderful brothy goodness of ramen. $ 18 sure, but oh so good. I’m no sucka. Trust me.
They have a lot of other good Asian fare, with big portions. Enough to take home, but I am always ridiculously hungry. Like all the time. Do I need a box? Probably not. Should I take one? Probably. Nom nom nom.
Nothing over the top, so I can’t give 5 stars, but service is wonderful and the location can’t be beat.
If any place could take over my dear Emilio’s, I don’t mind Tycoon.

Had the pot stickers… outstanding
Curry Ramen… outstanding
Crispy Chicken ramen… yeah, outstanding.
Nice place, great service

I’m super excited that Denver is finally getting on the ramen train, was really excited to try this place after looking through the reviews. Well, it’s clear that a lot of these reviewers haven’t had good ramen before.
The miso ramen was one dimensional, noodles were okay but it was strangely served without chashu but with these funky aged tofu chunks instead. It had this odd dried seaweed on top and the egg was hard boiled, not soft. It was very bizarre. The place obviously isn’t Japanese owned. They have lots of Chinese dishes which might be better? Service was overly efficient — we felt rushed. The bathroom was disgusting.

This place is delicious! It’s not in the best part of Denver and it’s kind of a shady building but go inside and relax! It’s a hidden gem! The service and the food are amazing! I get the pork belly broth with beef ramen and it is AMAZING!

First time my girlfriend and I came here to try their Tonkatsu Ramen.
The food was delicious!
So much flavor in the noodles and broft and for the price, the portion size was great! We also had some seaweed salad which was good as well!
Parking wasn’t bad, but once we entered the restaurant, we did notice a funky smell. Probably raw fish?

I ordered the chasu ramen and my fiancé got the fried chicken ramen. Overall, I thought this place wasn’t too bad. The menu is quite extensive. They have a large sushi selection and offer many other Asian dishes. But the broth was just meh, hence the rating. It wasn’t too salty, but it was pretty bland. It missed the rich flavor that authentic ramens have. There is an option for o make the broth spicy, which my fiancé ordered and enjoyed. Portion was good. Staff were friendly. Give yourself time for street parking.

It was a cold and windy day so we though like a warm lunch. Unilocaled a restaurants in our ararea and Tycoon had good reviews to thought we would try it. They were right.
We walked into Tycoon and were greeted and seated right a way by personable and friendly folks.
We ordered hot green tea and then I had the 2 roll combo plate. Asparagus and California roll. Both excellent. My wife had a roman noodle brown with tempura shrimp and veggies. Also very good. The sauce for the tempura was excellent and had a great flavor.
The prices and service was excellent. Will be back.

Sushi was great. The pieces are on the small side but they are made with great care and almost all of the pieces we had were accompanied by a light sauce on it or some sort of additional item such as a micro green or small piece of fried garlic. Which I thought really added to the flavor.
I can not review the ramen as we ordered a bowl but there was a hair in it and we sent it back before trying and decided to go with more sushi instead. It looked good minus the hair. It happens and I would still recommend this place to try. I do feel like they should have comped us a drink or something for this «situation» but oh well.

We stumbled here while walking down area the Capitol area and what a gem this turned out to be! I got the Chicken Katsu ramen here and it was godly amazing. I don’t know what they put in their broth but it was
.
The Chicken Katsu ramen was amazing. At first, I was skeptical because I didn’t think the fried chicken could stay crispy in the broth, but it actually did stay crispy the entire time. Score! The bowl was $ 12 which was a great value — it’s just too bad they didn’t have a Happy Hour deal on their ramen because we came during Happy Hour ;) Still, I am so happy I ran into this nice corner spot near downtown Denver because the ramen was second to none!

I stumbled upon this place looking for another restaurant. Out of frustration of not finding the restaurant I was originally looking for and hunger, I decided to stop in a restaurant near me and chose Tycoon. What a great find!
I got the chicken katsu ramen and it was delicious! Great quality broth, and crispy chicken that stayed crispy throughout my meal. The only thing I would like to see different is switching a hard boiled egg for a poached egg. However, the hard boiled egg didn’t take away from my experience or meal. Ramen was delicious with or without the egg and I will still keep coming back.

Dictated by Siri so take run on sentences and spelling with a grain of salt.
Was so excited to find this Ramen place within walking distance of my apartment. I really love Ramen but I am not real connoisseur. That being said this is a great place for just a quick stop in to feed a craving for the dish.
friendly and courteous service, relatively quick and the prices average. I’m personally a huge fan of both in enoki mushrooms and corn in Ramen and every Ramin option has both of those ingredients so I’m a happy camper. Pork broth is my favorite but they only have one offering for that, but they have lots of four dollar beer options so it’s a really nice all-​around laid-​back place.

We came hungry and left completely satisfied– service was awesome! Our server was kind and patient (no language barrier either, FYI), and our sushi was to die for! Simply delicious! The fish was very fresh, and we tried the tempura ramen. Everything was truly fantastic.
Keep in mind parking can get crazy at busy dining hours, and I wouldn’t venture out to Colfax too late at night. This restaurant was clean though, and we were very happy with our service.

Ramen & Sushi on Colfax?!
I went here on a date and was a bit hesitant about this place since it was located on Colfax. It was a Saturday night and this place was packed! Luckily there was seating at the sushi bar and we gladly accepted.
The Ramen Selection was small but reading all the descriptions, they all sounded really good. I ordered the Sukiyaki Ramen. It was pretty decent. The only thing that I thought was odd was that there was corn in it. Definitely different but actually tasted really good with the Ramen. We also ordered some nigiri sushi which was good and fresh as well.
The only downside about this place was the service and parking. For how busy it was, there were only two servers working the floor. It made me feel really bad. We still tipped our server over 20%. There was another server there that was actually really flamboyant and funny… I would want him as a server if I ever go back. If you don’t mind slow service than I would give this place a try!

I’m a big ramen fan. I like the taste, the aroma, the overall experience of eating it as a whole. I’m relatively new to the dish, having only eaten it at about a dozen spots. Some good some bad some awesome some not-​so-​awesome.
Brought the lady here on a chilly evening before attending an Avs game. We were both hungry and a bit stuffed up with whatever lovely viral or bacterial thing was going around that week. She loves ramen as well, and we both ordered accordingly.
My ramen was tasty, a bit spicy, filling, and full of a perfect broth that helped a sore throat and stuffy nose. Hers was spicier (that’s her jam), which she added more spice into. Her tempura side was crispy and worked well with the ramen she paired it with.
We both had a beer and water, beer was usual Asahi.
Staff was great! Our waiter was obviously enjoying himself, practically dancing around as he took orders, brought checks, checked up on tables, and balanced large orders, all with a wink and a smile.
Only real complaint was it was HOT inside. Everyone was wearing their final layer of clothing, having stripped their jackets, hoodies, or sweaters off. It was quite warm, not unbearably so, but still uncomfortably so.
Price was decent, food was pretty solid, staff was great. Dining room is a bit small, so good be difficult for groups larger than 4 to get situated.
Location is a bit iffy, but that’s the neighborhood. Keep your eyes about you, so «no, sorry» to the drunks across the street at the liquor store hassling people, and move on your way.
Will probably be back at some point.

I’ve been here a few times now and each time my experience has been mostly good.
The first time though… there was lipstick on the rim of my water glass and I ended up getting an overwhelming lipstick taste in my mouth — which is when I realized my glass wasn’t properly cleaned.
Besides that, all subsequent visits have been amazing. I tried a few of the ramens. The tonkatsu is good — a classic. The crispy chicken katsu is much better especially in a spicy broth.
My most recent visit, I tried the tempura ramen with spicy broth. It was amazing except the shrimp tempura had an odd fishy smell that I didn’t like but the vegetable tempura was bomb.
Their sushi is amazing as well and definitely try the takoyaki!
The customer service is great and I like the cozy environment of the small restaurant.

You can tell when a business is trying their best and firing on all cylinders. These guys just opened and they are already hitting their groove. I wouldn’t say their ramen is the best in Denver, but the spicy miso is on point. The small restaurant was packed, but we were lucky to get a table right away on a weekday night. The service was fast and friendly. I spent a lot of the evening looking at the presentation of others’ dishes as it was quite eye catching. Would definitely come here again.

My new favorite place for ramen. Must try the tonkatsu ramen and/​or the sukiyaki ramen The broth is flavorful and savory. Oh don’t forget to order the mussels and gyozas, does not disappoint!

Glad I stumbled upon this ramen joint. I think what sets this ramen place apart from others in the area is their spicy sauce. It’s a garlicy red sauce that can be added to any stock and it’s absolutely delicious. The option here is very generous as well. I ordered the miso ramen and just asked them to make it spicy. Damn, this is actually the spiciest ramen I have ever had but it was so good!!! If you like spicy food and can handle fire, try it out:)! I also ordered the takoyaki and seaweed salad for starters. The takoyaki was alright I have definitely had better. The seaweed salad was good but there wasn’t too much and they put it on a bed of thinly sliced cucumbers which didn’t have much flavoring. Overall, I really enjoyed my dinner and will re-​visit to try the other soup bases!

I can not begin to explain how happy I am.
The owners/​chef used to have a place several years ago which I was obsessed with and all my favorites are back!
I know you are going for sushi or ramen but let me encourage you to spend sometime on the starters. The spring rolls come with the best peanut sauce I’ve ever had. I would dip anything in it. Must have. Also, I’m not being into tofu usually but the salt and pepper golden tofu is amazing. Its definitely something to share and must be eaten hot so don’t get it for take out but its so surprisingly delicious when it melts in your mouth.
The pad thai was a huge serving which I will be enjoying for the next several days. My dining companion had the crispy chicken ramen and devoured every last drop.
I’ll be going back to try the sushi!

Walking in we had low expectations. The menu has been posted on the door for weeks and it’s… expansive. When it comes to Ramen you want 5 menu items and nothing more. This is Chinese, Thai, and Sushi on one giant menu.
My wife and I both went for the Ramen. To my shock, it was really (really) good. I ordered the breaded chicken Tonkatsu and asked them to add some spice. I received the perfect level of heat. The chicken was plentiful and really tasty. The noodles maintained their texture instead of turning into the mush so many Ramen places put out. My wife’s experience with the Tonkatsu was similar.
My only gripe: the Ramen is expensive (~$ 12). Like Tokio or Uncle expensive, but the ambiance and menu design doesn’t fit the bill.
Still the quality is high enough that we’ll be back. Our neighborhood needed good Ramen and Tycoon delivers.
