For starters, a fan fell off the wall and hit a customers head. The staff did nothing about it. Okay, wasn't my experience but I'd feel unsafe sitting near those things. The ramen itself was underwhelming as far as flavor goes. Maybe I'm spoiled getting ramen around Convoy in San Diego. The broth was just okay, the pork was just okay, the noodle were just okay. Nothing really stood out. The pork gyoza did have a nice crisp to it, and was probably my favor part of the meal. Personally, I would not go back, and I would not recommend it. A few other spots in the area offer ramen, so I'd try my luck there.

Service: took about 30 minutes to wait for a table, but its in downtown Canmore so I went to look at other nearby shops in the meantime. Once we had a table, service and food came out fast.

Our server, Rob, was incredibly attentive and friendly--plus he gave some great menu recommendations. The decor was beautiful, and we were seated in a circle around a fireplace. Alberta Beef Tataki, 5/5 -- Not a huge portion but we savored every bite. This was incredible. Maui Wowie Roll, 4/5 -- So delicious, but could've used more ahi tuna King Salmon Sashimi, 5/5 -- No notes, this was amazing Spicy King Salmon Press, 4/5 -- Loved the red miso flavor. Would've liked more salmon on top of the rice. Smoky Ginger Margarita, 4/5 -- Great tartness and not overly smoky. Great drink! If I'm ever back in Banff, there's no question we would return to Hello Sunshine!

I feel like a snob saying that, but my goodness they charge astronomical prices for their dishes and while they were good, they certainly didn't bring the quality in flavor for what they were charging. I ordered the pork ramen and it had good broth flavor with a solid chunk of pork provided. It's unfortunate the pork was so dry and the noodles tasted store bought. For $25, it just didn't hit the mark for me.

Came here for dinner due to unique menu selection (love at first 'sight' of the menu')…read more Nice ambience. Busy place. We got table right away. They came 3x and we were not ready to order. By the time we were ready, it took a while to find someone to take our order. The most wanted item is sold out, a fact that they told us upon ordering. Will be appreciated if we know ahead of time so we have more time to consider 'back up item'. There was a table beside us (came after us) who also discussed about ordering same sold-out items, and I was very tempted to tell them that it's sold out. But I figure it's not my place to say because the restaurant must have its own reason for NOT telling this upfront!!?????!! Ordered pork belly skewer , shiitake skewer, shrimp in spicy peanut sauce, and aburi salmon handroll, miso creme brulee. Best items are the shrimp with spicy peanut sauce, and miso creme brulee. Just wow!! For the rest: -If u have eaten shiitake before (at home for example) , u know nothing can go wrong with shiitake as it's already flavorful in its own (safe choice). -Pork belly has good flavor but kinda too fatty (it is a totally different style from the one I usually eat at other places). -Aburi salmon handroll doesnt taste like aburi at all. Just normal handroll basically. Nth special. It was my friend's birthday, we asked if they hv noodle (considering we were farrr from home) and they said it's only available during lunch (which is understandable), but then nth else was done to help celebrate this moment when they hear this fact (simple smile or simple 'happy birthday' could be a gift in its own). Overall, food-wise, we agree on best item and that this place is kinda meh (in terms of food selection and feels like very few 'flavor-worthed' ones).

We got lucky and took the 6 remaining seats at the bar, but be prepared to wait if you're a bigger party. That said, the staff and bartender were very nice and service time was fairly normal. Would recommend!

Smoked trout doughnut: 8/10, interesting combination of sweet (donut, lemon glaze) and savory (smoked trout, herbed Crème Fraîche, everything bagel seasoning, pickled shallot) Individually: Strip sirloin: I didn't have this one but 10/10 for work of art presentation. Huge piece of steak though. Roasted chicken: 9/10 myself and one other got the chicken. Tender and well seasoned with sweet and spicy harissa honey glaze and chili crisps. It looked like they gave half a whole chicken to her and the other half to me, huge portions. Probably could've been 3 meals. Peyto's ribs: 9/10 had to get it for the touch of maple paprika. Seared ling cod: 9/10 it's the only portion that remotely made sense for a single person and didn't end with leftovers. The dimly lit atmosphere at Brazen is perfect to unwind in after a long day of hiking and exploring. The portions are generous and flavor profile recommendations between appetizers, mains, and drinks well explored. Highly recommend making an advance reservation to try!
