  • 3.5/5 We decided to try a new ramen place today and Shikiji seemed to have some decent reviews! A bit difficult to spot, this place in on Centre St, just south of 16 Ave NW on the east side of the street... I missed the parking lot that was available but found side street parking pretty easily anyhow. It was fairly empty and there was no music so the ambience wasn't fantastic, but that's not what I came for today... today I just came ravenous for ramen! The service was fast and decent and the place seemed clean. Prices seemed pretty average for ramen except for the one I ordered. I didn't really look at the sushi much so can't really comment there... although I did see $4 nigiri which is ridiculous in my opinion unless you're going to a high end establishment. On to the good stuff I ordered the chili goma ramen and my husband had the miso ramen and tuna poke. The latter wasn't too expensive by Calgary standards but I was rather disappointed nonetheless... 2.5/5 The fish had good melt in your mouth texture, but I wouldn't really be able to explain the taste of it since the entire thing was smothered in sesame oil. ..... I love sesame oil.... I am Chinese and was probably Japanese in another life and sesame oil is like liquid gold as far as I'm concerned .... however, rather than bringing this dish to life, they put so much on that it was smothered to death. Rant over. The chili gomae ramen was pretty good! I would give this dish a 3.5/5 since the broth was rich and had a nice depth of flavour, with sesame and pork at the forefront. The ground pork was also well seasoned and cooked. While the broth and pork were nice, it was too oily and there was nothing to cut through that. And worst of all.... the noodles were overcooked... overcooked ramen noodles kills me and brings down the score significantly. As for the miso ramen, I only tried a bit of the broth. It was nice and rich, but was a bit too salty for what I'm used to. It looked to have tonnes of veggies which is what I saw when my food envy kicked in! My husband did really like his dish though and said he'd be back. Overall I prefer Menyatai. I would be interested to go back to ikemen and try some of their more modern and interesting bowls as their classics didn't overly impress me but I'd like to compare and see. I'd eat here again but it wouldn't be my first choice. Happy slurping!
