Authentic Japanese ramen in Canmore

For Canmore this place was very reasonably priced. For 2 giant ramen and an appetizer it was 50$ after an 18% tip and we were stuffed and happy.

This place is always packed so get takeout or be ready to put your name on the waiting list and wait for a call. There's no point in getting upset you can't get into this place when it's obviously got a cult following and for good reason.

Here's all the things they do right other places just don't do: -Marinated eggs! So tasty! And 100% better than just a plain boiled egg. -Soft fall apart tender pork... so yummy! And smoky and its mouthwatering tender. It almost dissolves in your mouth. -Bamboo shoots. Perfectly marinated, salty and soft. -Perfectly chewy bouncy noodles. If you like them softer wait a few minutes. The broth is perfectly piping hot.

I've seen a couple reviews complain about the price and the spiciness.

1. This is Canmore and $14-17 is not expensive for a bowl of ramen, actually thats pretty standard ANYWHERE especially when you leave full and happy. If you're a really big eater get an extra portion of noodles for $3.95. But the average person should leave feeling absolutely stuffed.

2. And as for spiciness... this isn't panda express hot!! If you can't handle authentic spicy blame it on yourself for having weak spice tolerance and next time don't order spicy. Don't ruin it for the rest of us! Some of us like to sweat when we order a spicy dish. It's a God send when you find a place where spicy means spicy.

Having been to Japan this may be the only place in Alberta that comes close to Japan/Vancouver level good. This is going to be a go to place everytime I come to Canmore going forward, even if I have to wait for hours to get in.

Also kudos to the patient staff that had to deal with all the people upset they couldn't just walk in and get a seat even though it was 11:30 on a Monday. Like I said this place has a cult following and for good reason you will probably need to put your name on the wait list or get take out.
