We had been craving ramen for a week so it was great to grab a hot meal after a long really cold day. We were seated and ordered immediately. Our food came out quickly and piping hot.

Usually, I am a fan of tonkotsu broths strictly, but their Asahikawa Shoyu ramen (which is their signature) was delicious as well! The shoyu broth was more complex than other shoyu broths I've tried. I had the Paitan Shio ramen described as "rich white Paitan pork bone (tonkotsu), pork broth flavoured with perfectly blended Japanese sea salt" and quite enjoyed it. I like how the egg and other toppings were included in the price already. The chasu was tender for the most part but had a few tough spots. Overall, I would return for sure!

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.

I ordered the hand pulled noodles in beef soup and appreciated that you can choose the type of noodle. On the cashier's recommendation, I went with the thin noodles, which were excellent. The soup arrived hot with a well-balanced ratio of noodles to toppings, making it both satisfying and comforting. You can also adjust the spice level and add chili oil to taste. Service was efficient, prices were reasonable, and there was ample seating available. If I find myself back in the area, I would gladly return!

It was a pleasant surprise to partake of Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles which were like silk! Tons of lamb choices. I'm always down for lamb and I was in my element.

Spouse had a lovely braised beef soup with thin noodles, scented with five-spice My only minor criticism is that my lamb noodles were a tad oily. Portions are large, prices are what they are these days. Highly recommend!

We eat a lot of ramen so our standards are quite high. The seating was at a shared high top table in the middle of the restaurant with loud bassy hip-hop. I love the vibe. Personally, I think this place is overrated, but I would still recommend trying it if you have never been. We would also return and try other items on the menu

This spot has been a staple for me! Anytime we get to Calgary, this is the 1st or last stop for us. For years, this spot has stayed consistent with their quality and service.

Chili Goma and Tonkatsu Black are my usual go-tos!

The fish cheek was lightly fried with plenty of meat. You can also order a flying fish sashimi that it was presented beautifully. After finishing the sashimi, they will ask if you would like the remainder of the fish fried. We opted to do this and everything down to the bone was edible and crunchy, like fish chips. I love how none of the fish was wasted and the entire fish was edible. Overall, highly recommend this place if you are looking for fresh fish and quite authentic flavors. Be prepared to leave smelling a bit smokey though due to the open kitchen. But it's great that you can watch them prepare some of the food.

Downstairs is where you can see the chefs prep the sushi and sashimi. Order at the till and then you will receive a buzzer (to pick up your food when it is ready). You can grab the sushi from the lower level (basement). My better half has some very specific dietary restrictions and they were able to answer my questions, staff was polite and did notify us if any foods might be cross contaminated. The atmosphere is casual but could also be a nice place for a date. They had the patio open today which is where we sat. We ordered the sushi lovers tray $20 for 20 pieces (4 sashimi and 16 pieces of sushi). My kids don't eat spicy food so the chef was able to make our sushi tray to order (with the spicy sauces on the side), which was lovely. The chef asked about our dietary restrictions when I asked for the spice to be served on the side. Also, we ordered the spicy chicken ramen (TIP: if you are sharing with a non-spicy eater, you can order it with the spice paste on the side, which is what we ended up doing). Kids love the broth here, and it is chicken based. Some ramen places will have chicken ramen but then it will be prepared in a pork based broth, which doesn't work for us. We ordered two of the salmon sushi lovers trays, one chicken ramen, one chicken yakatori and one bbq chicken rice bowl. There is a good amount of variety on the menu, whether you are looking for a meal or more of a snack item. They do have chicken, lamb, beef, tofu, and pork on the menu along with vegetarian options.
