    This is an interesting review to write. We drove all the way into downtown to try this place. It's in Sakura Square. A small Japanese area with shops, restaurants and a Buddhist temple. The building itself was a huge let down. I actually thought we were on the wrong place at first. Upon entering, in thought I was inside a 1970s Denny's. Odd colors, run down and desperately in need of upkeep, maintenance and updating. I half debated leaving. We opted to stay and we were glad we did. Our server was a Japanese woman that simply should not have been more pleasant and accommodating. Here is where it gets good... I ordered the seafood Raman and it may have been the best bowl of ramen I've had in my adult life. The noodles, broth and veggies were absolutely perfect. Nobody there knows how yo paint a wall but they can cook the hell out of a bowl of ramen. My wife's oodon noodles were also, flatly perfect. As was our starter that I can't spell not pronounce (see photos). We ended with red bean and strawberry mochi. The mochi was likewise, perfect. Our check was fifty bucks for two people and worth every cent. Ignore the decor and plain surroundings. Ignore the fan falling out of the ceiling in the bathroom. The food is first rate and exceptional.

    While working downtown can often feel a bit underwhelming these days, Sakura House brings me a lot of joy when I venture out to lunch. It's a quaint establishment, tucked in the Sakura square area. Quiet and clean, and the service is always personal and attentive. I've had the Tenshin Don (shrimp omelette), the Mabo Tofu, and the Katsu Curry. I always like to mix up my order to try something new, but truly everything has been delicious. The plates come with miso soup and salad as well. I got the Takoyaki last time I went too, and it was very tasty with a great springy texture. I like to wash it all down with the verdant green tea. Given what fast casual food costs these days, Sakura House feels like a genuine deal. Check it out, and I'm sure you'll be charmed and leave full and pleasantly satisfied.

    A cozy and friendly service place for lunch. The Nabeyaki udon was flavorful. The Yakiniku bento box was also delicious!

    If you're looking for an unpretentious, no-frills-needed, simply authentic hidden gem, look no further. You've found it. Sakura House is the real deal. Just delicious (humbly so) Japanese dishes. Emphasis on the noodles, but they do have a variety of other things. I've gotten ramen here a handful of times and I've always been happily impressed. Recently I got the tempura udon, and it quickly became my new go-to. The little fried shrimp and veggies were crispy to perfection and the salty broth and slippery udon noodles complemented them like a match made in heaven. I don't mean to overstate this fact, but it bears repeating because I fear places like this are becoming an increasingly rare breed: they're not doing anything fancy here, and it's INCREDIBLY refreshing. I don't have anything against all the fusion-y, inventive, niche, Instagram-worthy places invading the Highlands and RiNo, but sometimes it's a breath of fresh air to return to the tried, true, and trusted classics. Sakura House is one of those. They're not doing anything extra because they don't need to - their food is good enough to speak for itself, and it does. The aesthetic is unembellished, but the people working here are incredibly friendly and kind, and the atmosphere is comfortable and homey. If you're a true food-lover, I can't recommend this place more. Paramount in its simplicity and reliability, Sakura House is a little hidden treasure right in the heart of Denver.
