Uncle

Uncle is a ramen restaurant at 2215 W 32nd Ave in Denver, CO, serving evening diners from Monday through Saturday. Its approach puts a creative, Thai-influenced spin on ramen rather than aiming to reproduce a strictly traditional bowl. That distinction is useful to know when choosing a place: guests looking for familiar ramen with a different flavor profile may enjoy exploring Uncle’s menu, while those seeking a classic style may want to keep the fusion approach in mind. The restaurant is closed on Sundays. Its listed hours are 5–9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 5–10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Ramen is a central draw, with customer favorites including duck ramen and spicy chicken ramen. Reviews also call out the broth, noodles, and carefully composed bowls, as well as a yellow curry vegetable ramen that one guest especially enjoyed. Vegetarian diners have a ramen option that customers describe positively. The menu’s Thai-inspired character brings a distinct direction to these bowls, so flavors may differ from what guests expect at a more traditional ramen shop. If you are deciding what to order, the duck ramen, spicy chicken, and yellow curry vegetable bowl are useful starting points mentioned by diners.

Small plates add another reason to visit, and reviews repeatedly praise the appetizers. Soft-shell crab buns are a standout in customer feedback, while the menu also includes other dishes beyond ramen. One review describes a tender, well-portioned sweet-and-spicy pork bowl, though the reviewer did not enjoy its sauce as much as the pork itself. Drinks can complement a meal, too: a guest specifically enjoyed the Island in the Sun cocktail. These details suggest a visit can be built around a bowl and shared starters, or shaped by trying a different dish and a drink. Individual tastes vary, so checking the current menu is a sensible way to choose.

The atmosphere can be part of the experience. One guest enjoyed sitting at the counter, watching the team prepare food and chatting with staff; that review also noted attentive service. With a reported 4.5-star rating from 1,675 reviews, Uncle has drawn a substantial range of customer feedback, including praise for consistent meals and welcoming service. It may suit a casual dinner with friends, a date, or a meal for someone who wants to sample ramen alongside appetizers. For anyone searching for ramen in Denver’s 80211 area, Uncle offers a neighborhood address, evening hours, creative bowls, and small plates in one visit. Check the current hours and menu before heading over, especially if planning a Sunday visit, when the restaurant is closed.
