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.

Toppings were room temp, not warm, but the flavor made up for it. Also, there are signs stating they cannot guarantee zero cross contamination and a majority of the ramen dishes contain peanuts. I gave it a chance and was fine.

The tonkotsu was pretty classic and the broth was fantastic. The arashi is supposedly their signature. The broth tasted like tonkotsu with sesame blended in. Personally, I prefer the tonkotsu for the cleaner taste. Their pork is tender and the noodles had the right amount of chew.

The Tonkotsu Ramen is a no-frills kind of dish, with a creamy broth, succulent grilled pork, soy-marinated eggs, and bamboo, garnished with green onion and a seaweed sheet. The Sukiyaki Pot, on the other hand, comes to your table over an active flame, where a mix of beef, egg, tofu, and veggies bathe in a nice savory and sweet broth. My partner and I enjoyed what we had. Service: No complaints! We were seated immediately, and our orders were taken promptly. Ambiance: Casual, cozy. Parking: Street parking is available. Seems like adjacent parking lot is reserved for hotel guests.

While visiting Canmore a group of us stopped into BLAKE Brewhouse and Distillery for dinner. BLAKE…read moreis in a newer building and has a large elbow-shaped patio for outdoor dining. Our group was located in an annex room right of the main entrance and was the perfect size to fit all of us. We had 2 primary servers who did an excellent job of making sure we had full glasses and full plates. We did family-style sharing of some of their starters and main dishes. The Bread and Butter was really delicious and it looks like their butter flavor is on rotation daily. The duck wings had a peach glaze and nuoc cham and cilantro- great combination. The chicken vegetable dumplings had great skin and texture. The peppercorn salad was adorned with pickled cabbage, capers, maple coconut, crunchy chickpeas and more - it was amazing. We also tried the Thai basil risotto and it was good but I'd go with the peppercorn salad over this if you're sticking vegetarian. The final dish was Alberta AAA Beef Brisket accompanied by gochujang mashed potatoes and broccolini. The brisket was incredible and just melted on the tongue. And the beer/spirits here were impressive as well. BLAKE is a must-try destination while in Canmore!

Honestly no notes, 5/5 would recommend coming here with an empty stomach!

The toro nigiri barely tastes like anything and the unagi was normal tasting, nothing special. The shrimp tempura was fine as well but I wouldn't say it was anything great. The beef udon was not good and the beef was insanely tough, making the soup completely not worth eating. I don't recommend this place but it's not terrible. I dont think I'll return.

We got the mushroom risotto (so unique), the vegetarian bao bun, and the vegetarian lettuce wraps (make sure to ask for vegan so they can sub the non-vegan sauce). The only con was that the restaurant itself was small and can only take a few parties at a time. 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!

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.

The katsu curry was probably the best dish since it actually had a spicy kick and not sweet like other Japanese curries I've had in the past. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was pretty authentic and I wanted to come back but it was closed for the next 2 days (Monday and Tuesday) so you should check their hours on the door just in case.

Very intentional service and fresh produce offerings. We unfortunately never made it to breakfast and didn't have reservations, so we never dined in.

The matcha was good; we ended up picking up some again before ending our trip. I recommend adding the kinako topping.
