Ikemen Ramen - Calgary

We ordered the shoyu special, shio, and miso ramens, all of which were excellent. The noodles were cooked perfectly and had a nice curl to them. I particularly enjoyed the shoyu broth, although I found the shio broth to be enjoyable as well. Despite my initial reservations about the chicken broth, I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors. Each bowl came with pork belly and pork medallions, which were delicious, and the shio and miso ramens included soft-boiled eggs. While there weren't as many veggies as some other places, the flavors were abundant and satisfying. We finished our meal with pineapple coconut ice cream, which was a tasty dessert. The atmosphere was relaxed and the service was great. I also noticed they have happy hour specials, so I plan on returning to try them out.

I enjoyed the addition of kale in the dish. While it may not be traditional, I found that the hearty greens complemented the salty broth and ample meat quite nicely. The noodles were plentiful and had a nice chew to them. The portion size was so large that I couldn't finish all of my ramen, which was a surprising first for me.

This restaurant in Kensington is a great choice if you're in the mood for Japanese cuisine. We ordered the fried baby crabs and absolutely loved them, and their ramen was also very tasty. It's a lovely spot for a pleasant evening meal.

We came here for lunch last week and sat on their adorable patio! It’s a wonderful little urban oasis and I love the giant cat painting <br/ <br/ We did not order the ramen, however we did order sashimi, dynamite roll, gyoza, beef tataki, and the edamame. All were outstanding! Special mention for the tataki though. The chef adds fresh mint to this dish which really makes it pop! My only complaint is that I wish the tataki dish was bigger. The sashimi is a bit different as well as it is marinated in a wasabi-soya sauce mixture but is not spicy, just full of flavour!<br/ All dishes has gorgeous presentation <br/ I can’t wait to return!!

Nice atmosphere and friendly service but I was disappointed with the ramen. I really wanted to like it. I suspect that a great deal of love and quality went into the ramen broth but you would never know it as any nuances were lost by the overwhelming use of garlic.
