Red Rocks attempt at modern Japanese is not a total failure, but their reverse happy hour falls short of impressive due to a lack of consistency in their offerings as well as a lack of drink choices.
Of what we had, one was borderline terrible while the other was quite tasty. Their mini ramen for 8 dollars is truly mini. One could easily devour all of the ingredients in two bites or so, if one felt the need to do so. The truffle flavor is non existent and the bowl I had was so incredibly bland I didnt want to eat anymore. After adding two shots worth of soy sauce, there was barely enough of a salt flavor to make it edible. On both value and scale, it was a miserable disappointment.
On the other hand, the 808 Fried Chicken was well textured and had a nice balanced sweet and salty flavor. If anything was wrong, it was just a tad salty but perhaps only because of the stark contrast to the ramen.
Having only sake bombs and bunny bombs for reverse happy hour seemed like a poor variety. I had just had higher hopes for this place's reverse happy hour.
