We were in this part of town and had intended to try another restaurant, but it was closed for holidays... so quickly decided upon some ramen prior to games night! It has been a while since I've had ramen esp in Calgary so I was excited to try!
Atmosphere: 3.5/5 Overall simple, clean and bright environment. It was not very busy when we first arrived but eventually filled up. Generally comfortable; located in a mall with adequate parking
Food: 4/5 I had the original tonkotsu and shared edamame beans. It definitely reminded me of traditional Japanese ramen restaurants where it was possible to choose green onions vs mixed veggies, fatty vs lean pork, thick vs thin noodles... and came with my favorite part - the EGG! There was also a notice saying that the chashu, lard etc are all made in house. Interestingly, there was a free 'upgrade' to 1.5x the amount of noodles. As a result, my bowl was quite tasty and filling. The tonkotsu soup is usually a little rich for me so I would have preferred other options such as shio or miso. The edamame beans came as a huge portion!
Service: 3.5/5 Friendly and efficient
Price: 4/5 Large portions for price
Overall: 4/5 Overall I enjoyed my simple delicious and filling bowl of ramen here! I tend to choose the simplest menu option but there are other tonkotsu and spicy ramens as well. The menu is a little smaller than expected but I think it is better to have a few excellent rather than many mediocre dishes. Good hidden gem =)
