This is a cute little ramen shop in Kensington. Most of the tables are for 2 only so if you have a bigger party, make sure to call and make reservations. We went on a Tuesday night at 6:30 pm and there were still plenty of empty tables but after 7 the place quickly filled up and people were still waiting by the time we left.
We ordered shio ramen, curry ramen, and miso ramen. My favourite out of the three was probably the curry ramen as it's not a flavour you see often in Calgary. There was a nice hint of spice too. (I was pleasantly surprised because I find a lot of authentic Japanese food to be really lacking in in the spice department.) You get a generous helping of green onions, bamboo shoots, corn and bean sprouts with your noodles. The ramen is topped with seaweed, chashu pork, and a soft boiled egg. The egg was the best part! The chashu pork was lightly grilled but not as soft or fatty as I would have liked.
At $12-$14 per bowl, their ramen is quite pricey! I was expecting to be blown out of the water after hearing the good reviews about this place. Their ramen is good but I think Shikiji wins this round (love the fatty pork there), sorry Menyatai!
