Kujira Ramen - Fort Collins

This spot is one of the best in town. The service and atmosphere is always amazing. This is one of my finace and I's go-to for a treat yourself- and they aren't even that's expensive! I feel like we go at least once a month and we love it every single time. The shoyu ramen is to die for.

Great spot! Food was great, service was great, prices seemed fair. The sushi was really good and well priced. overall a great lunch or dinner option!

Love this popular place! Ramennis always delicious. I get the mild Tankotsu Ramen and add chicken. The deep fried Shrimp Shumai is soo good woth the dipping sauce. The Spicy Chicken Ramen is very spicy it seems so if you like spicy, you will like that. The place is always busy at the dinner hour when I go even on the most inclement days. You can also order to go.

A friend and I ventured up to Ft. Collins to have a fun day together. Since he knows I'm a ramen fiend, he suggested Kujira. After checking out the reviews and photos on my favorite review site (yep, you guessed it. Yelp! I was down to give it a try. I'm so glad we did!On our way to the restaurant, we called to make reservations, but they don't take reservations. We were expecting kind of a wait but ended up walking right in and grabbing a table. This was on a Sunday at 1:30pm.We both ordered hot tea, and they brought out a really fancy glass pitcher of hot water, some honey, and a little box with all sorts of Yamamotoyama teas. I love this brand of tea! I had the Genmatcha Green Tea, and my friend chose the Genmai-Cha Green Tea.For appetizers, we ordered the Shishito Peppers and the Takoyaki. Both were great. The Shishito Peppers were a bit crunchy for my liking, I like mine a little more blistered and cooked through. The Takoyaki was delicious.I ordered the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen and added bamboo shoots. I selected mild spice (because I read in reviews that the bowl was too-hot-to-handle for some , and it was not spicy at all. Total mistake on my part because I usually order medium spice. Next time (because there will be a next time , I will totally get medium spice. The broth tasted authentic, rich, and dreamy. The noodles had a pleasant texture and consistency. The egg was super soft, it seemed lightly poached. I prefer mine ramen-egg style where it's medium boiled in the shell and peeled.The food was filling and delicious. The restaurant was cute and felt authentic. The service was a bit lacking, as stated in other reviews. The plastic dishes were well-used and chipped. They could use an upgrade. I will definitely be back for another bowl of tonkotsu ramen, some more takoyaki, and to try a few of their other offerings.

Amazing atmosphere and the food was very good. It's not a huge space so there was a bit of a wait and it was fairly loud, but the food and decor more than made up for it. Would highly recommend if you want a slightly fancier ramen experience!
