Nice tasting ramen. Really enjoyed the chasu pork, very tender. Only reasons for the 3 star was that it was impossible to locate a phone number for the restaurant, so it was difficult to contact. Also, I'm not sure why the inside of the restaurant contained a tent with signs all over - and no staff. A little scary to be honest.

No dine-in option. We are way past the point that "pick-up only" should be a thing, especially in this location.

Amazing but too bad cannot dine in

The most authentic Japanese food near Purdue!

Denju is everything I missed for Japanese food. We apologise for not preordering/ordering ahead of time for seafood & sushi! Make sure to order ahead if you would like sushi from them to give enough time to prepare. Everything was delicious, hot, & delicious. Will eat again.

Open details incorrect, listed as dine-in available but incorrect, have to order ahead of time and last order is 1hr before they close?!?

I first tried Denju as the pandemic was beginning to wane -- yeah, the numbers are trending downwards, but most people in Indiana have decided everything is over and are out spewing their germs on each other in the most unsafe ways they can come up with. So I have to applaud a restaurant sticking to requiring masks, pick up only, and even setting up a makeshift plastic barrier to slide food to customers from. I feel safer eating here than anywhere else in this town, and that will continue even when the pandemic is truly over. Surely this serious attitude towards safety and cleanliness applies to their cooking in general.I'm a vegetarian, so it's unfortunate that they seem to only have a single option for vegetarians, the vegetable croquettes (with curry sauce, over rice)... but it's hard to complain when they're this good! The sauce, if you don't add spice, has a slightly sweet sort of complex taste, with some chunks of veggies mixed in. It's all clearly freshly made and, considering what's in it, a meal I can feel pretty good about. The amount of food was too much for me to even handle, and even though we picked it up a bit late, it was still nice and warm when we got around to eating it ~20 minutes later.Can't recommend enough, will definitely be back. I only hope they eventually come up with more meat-less options!おいしい!

Ramen, senzaki fried chicken, takoyaki (nice chew, not mushy), and nigiris (fresh stuff, good portion) were legitimately amazing. A little more expensive than the area but well worth the price.

Incredibly COVID safe. Got veggie croquettes, katsu curry, and salmon/tuna sushi and it was super tasty. The veggie croquettes were perfectly crisp and sweet! The katsu curry was a little too spicy for me at level 2. The sushi rice was well flavored!

I love their healthy homemade dishes by Japanese owner chef! My favorite best restaurant so far and they are very nice! I found this place on Instagram and their Ramen is special. I can tell the taste is gentle and mild, not the strong taste as other restaurants because they don’t use chemical seasoning and I love the dishes especially authentic Ramen from scratch and fresh Sushi!! This place is new and popular with Japanese people and I really recommend this restaurant for the people who cares for healthy homemade food!
Denju is the restaurant we always order without any concern during the pandemic. They keep their quality as good as before the pandemic and also maintain a big variety of the menu for their customers. This is why we always consider Denny whenever we want a hot soup or have no idea what to eat for the meal. Their Christmas special is amazing. Definitely it's worth to try!!

We always pick up during the pandemic. They really save our lives whenever we have no idea what to eat or we’re lazy at cooking by ourselves. Their food is so good. Yuzi ramen is my current favorite. They always update their menu which gives us surprise sometimes. I’m not sure if any new dishes coming in the future would become my newest favorite. By the way, the fried oysters always come with nice quality.

Carry out only with extremely safe protocol! And the Ramen is fresh Delicious!
