My sister said she wanted ramen. So I gave her the ok to pick a restaurant and she told me about…read moreWakado Ramen. Wakado happened to be near where I lived so it was definitely a go. We ordered the chicken karaange to share $6.50. I got the Miso Ramen $15.95 My sister got the Tonkotsu Shio Ramen $14.95 Sister said the prices are comparable to Vancouver. The prices are definitely at the higher end. She also claims that the bowls are bigger than ramen in Vancouver. I was like ok. So I really liked the miso soup. It was very flavorful.

During our stay in Calgary, we've been trying to find a different type of food each day, and of…read morecourse I couldn't skip ramen. Wakado Ramen was within walking distance from us, so we decided to give it a try. The restaurant is located on the first floor of a commercial complex with very little foot traffic, and to be honest, I was a little skeptical at first. Surprisingly, the ramen here was actually pretty good! We ordered the recommended two-person set and chose the Chili Goma Ramen, Tonkotsu Shio Ramen, and a plate of gyoza. I had the Chili Goma Ramen, and I was very satisfied with it. The strong, rich aroma of Sichuan peppercorn immediately reminded me of Sichuan Tan Tan Men, but it was blended with goma-style sesame sauce, which softened and balanced the flavor nicely. I thought that was a clever and enjoyable way to present the ramen. The broth was thick and rich, with a slightly bubbly texture on top and plenty of chopped scallions -- visually, always a good sign for the style of ramen I personally enjoy. The flavor was very good as well. The bamboo shoots were nicely marinated: soft, but still with a bit of crunch, turning into little bites of flavorful vegetables after a few chews. The soft-boiled egg was also well executed; I devoured it in one bite and was rewarded with a rich, flavorful mouthful. My only food-related complaint would probably be the noodle texture. The noodles were on the softer, looser side, closer to the texture of instant noodles that require boiling, rather than the firmer, chewier texture I usually prefer at ramen shops. I know some people may actually enjoy that softer noodle style, so I wouldn't say it was objectively bad, but for me, it was the one imperfection in an otherwise enjoyable bowl. The gyoza looked similar to frozen Ajinomoto-style gyoza, so I honestly didn't feel too excited to try it. Since gyoza isn't too difficult to make fresh, that left a bit of a question mark for me. My main complaint was the service. The restaurant only had two occupied tables at the time, but after we were given the menu, we still waited around 18 minutes without anyone checking back or explaining the meal sets. I eventually walked toward the server and finally caught their attention while the server was chatting with coworkers. The service also felt minimal throughout the meal, with items placed on the table without much communication. I understand most items were obvious, but even a simple "Here is your ****" would have felt much more welcoming than placing items on the table without saying anything. A little more attentiveness would have made the overall experience much better. Overall, the ramen itself was better than I expected, especially the Chili Goma Ramen, which I genuinely enjoyed. But the service experience and the gyoza made the visit feel less polished than it could have been.

The food is genuinely good, easily a 4/5. Unfortunately, the service was the complete opposite…read more It felt like every server would rather be anywhere else. We had to flag someone down multiple times just to get basic service, and this was on a Thursday afternoon when the restaurant wasn't even busy. The kitchen is doing its job. The front-of-house... not so much. Hopefully management invests in better training or hires people who actually enjoy hospitality. So here's the deal: come for the food, but bring a little extra patience. You'll probably leave happy with your meal... and mildly annoyed by the service. Choose your battles.

Came around 11:30 on friday, some tables taken but plenty of empty seats. They do the traditional…read morepushing carts which is rare to find. They have some basic dimsum, suimai, hargow, lomaigai, lobatgoh, some fried stuff, in addition to a small menu to order other dishes. I didnt rly see much baked baos, like baked chasui bao or bolobao, also didnt see much steamed baos. We asked for the runny egg yolk bao bc thats my fav, took a while to come out and wasnt that runny. We ordered some soup noodle dish but they messed up and gave it to us dry so they gave us a bowl or broth. Overall everything was mid, nothing was super yummy, idr anything was bad tho. Pricing is a bit pricier. Service is decent, they speak chinese and english and theyre pretty friendly. Forgot to take pics of food lol

Between working in the Nexen building, and now the Husky tower, I've grabbed lunch from Apple…read morelikely a hundred times or more. It's easy to not even know it's there, if you are traversing the Plus 15's between the two buildings -- you need to sidestep through the doors of "First Alberta Place," and it will be sitting in the back corner: one wall a soup and sandwich counter, and one wall a Chinese buffet. There's nothing here to "wow" you: hand written information on the wall. A pretty limited selection of sandwich toppings. Not a lot of variety of soups day to day. Scowls. And most importantly, they take cash only (I've been burned by this at the register once or twice when I forgot). But you can get a pretty damn cheap lunch here. Seriously -- for the longest time, the large soup was two bucks (or maybe it was even less)? On days where I forgot my wallet and thought I'd starve to death, Apple bailed me out with their two dollar soup (that much change inevitably kicking around my desk and amongst my pocket lint). And you serve the soup yourself, so you can make it as "hearty" as you wish (to hell with the stragglers showing up late -- they can have broth). I was there a moment ago, and soup has gone up to $2.65. It was around $2.00 in 2006 when I started going. Not a bad increase, and still plenty cheap. BLT's were $3.95 today You get the idea: cheaper lunch than what you can brown bag.
