Denver foodies, get ready to slurp! A new culinary force has arrived, bringing the authentic, comforting flavors of Japan right to your doorstep. Ninja Ramen, the city’s latest ghost kitchen sensation, is transforming the takeout experience with steaming bowls of perfectly crafted ramen. If you’re wondering what a ghost kitchen is, think of it as a restaurant without a traditional storefront—operating solely for delivery or pickup. This model allows Ninja Ramen to focus entirely on crafting exceptional ramen bowls, ensuring every order is filled with rich broths, springy noodles, and savory toppings, all delivered hot and fresh. “We went from a food truck to a brick-and-mortar—with a ghost kitchen as the fastest step in between,” explained co-owner Midori Fujishige Blanks.
