Chaya - Banff, Alberta

Ordered the BBQ ramen and the curry udon (added a side of potato croquettes on top). The ramen had a simple broth that was very nice and rich. The curry udon was spot on and had a few pieces of beef. Great meal, especially when it was cold outside as ... we sat on the patio. Read more

Food was delicious, and impressively came out in minutes (no exaggeration). Perfectly delicious and incredibly satisfying after a long hike at Lake Louise. Beef bowl cooked perfectly + inari was good. Friend got wonton ramen and enjoyed it. Staff super friendly :)

Highly not recommend. As a big fan of ramen, I have to say it's really not tasty, I feel disappointed. The soup is extremely salty and has a strong MSG flavor that reminds me of Japanese instant noodles. It’s quite overpriced , I ordered an $18 ramen, and it only ... came with one slice of meat, a small amount of green onion, and a bit of seaweed. The pork slice had no taste at all, as if it was bought from a factory. I highly do not recommend it. Read more

Based of my our families experience. We came here during the business of New years eve were all the restaurants had either reservations or just not seating. All other restaurants at this time were a wait time of 1 to 2 hours and coming from a full activity with family in banff ... this family of 5 plus friends of 4 we needed something warm and that could accommodate us. We walked in and looking at their sign they were about to close with 10 mins left. They did not shy away from helping and serving us normally restaurants would have to turn you down because of the kitchen closing. This place didnt mind having us. They actually closed the restaurant just for us which was pretty funny. You go to Banff and we all know its a tourist spot and yes prices of everything here are a bit more than in the city however we were looking for portion sizes and it was definitely worth the price. Service was amazing and they always made sure the kids were always happy. Food it the spot after being outdoors. We all wanted something that had noodles and rice with they covered. Definitely something you should try if your looking for an Asian style restaurant. Definitely recommend Read more

This restaurant is one of my go to restaurants in Banff cause it’s a budget friendly places in Banff. Even the quantities are good enough. Food if you compare to good Japanese it’s okay okay but good for time being. Service staff is very polite and always welcoming. Place is small with limited ... seats but good enough to give a try. Thank you. 🙏🏽 Read more
