| - We enjoyed this sushi/ramen place from beginning to end. Convenient to our hotel, the Banff Trail TraveLodge, with a sleek, airy modern interior, super friendly and helpful server and excellent food. The ramen servings were large and visually enticing. My partner has the Spicy Korean ramen and I had the Curry with mussels, shrimp & scallop. The spicy suited my hot-loving friend's taste and my curry was a lightly sweet sauce that was delicious. The ramen itself was nicely al dente, which I found perfect. And there was a lot of it. Morning leftovers! We had a complimentary Flaming Circle roll for ordering two ramens and an ahi roll, both also good. Our server, a young lady whose name I neglected to get was so friendly and solicitous, our otherwise fine dinner experience was put over the top to thoroughly enjoyable. Even the green tea was delectable (even after a very hot day!). Also I was just happy to have an unsweetened tea (is sweet tea a Calgary or Canadian thing??). Even the complimentary desert, a litchi fruit custard in a shot glass was a very lightly sweet topper to the meal. Wami Ootoya was a particularly welcome relief after a series of dubious, Stampede fare, and for the amount of food, a real deal. If you are near the University of Calgary, this will also be very close and convenient walk.
