Ramen Ichinen - Calgary, Alberta

We were in the area and dropped in for a quick lunch on a Saturday. Parking was a bit of a nightmare. We definitely had a hard time trying to find parking. The restaurant itself was quite busy the entire time we were there. The service was prompt and friendly. The ... broth was very delicious! They provided an option of fatty or lean pork, green onion or fresh greens, and thin or thick noodles. They also had a special lunch promo where you could select additional noodles free of charge or other menu options in smaller portions at a discounted rate. The small bowl of chicken karrage with rice was SO delicious! The pork in the ramen was incredibly tender and well-seasoned. The noodles were quite chewy. Overall, we would definitely come back!

Ever since the closing of Muku, I have been trying to find a ramen restaurant replacement. What I liked about this restaurant was that it allowed the customers to change how much noodle they wanted without extra charge, this would reduce waste. One could also customize how spicy the food was, I ... tried to order a level 10 spice many years ago but the staff warned me not to. I was glad they did. It could not replace Muku. Read more

Busy little ramen restaurant. Came here for lunch Saturday, and it was fantastic. Staff were friendly and attentive. The #3 Red Ramen was fantastic. Creamy, flavorful broth. The pork was full of flavor and super tender. The house made gyoza was some of the best I've ever had. I enjoyed ... my ramen with thin noodles and green onion. So good. Read more

A fantastic ramen place here in Calgary. We typically come here and get the Mazemen (tossed noodles) along with their fried Chicken knees. The noodles are seasoned nicely with a little hint of spice. Noodles have a good bounce to them and clings to the sauce. Soup ramen is quite nice ... as well. The black garlic tonkatsu is very hearty. I would consider giving this five stars but the broth could use a deeper depth of pork and fish flavor. Note they also offer you extra noodles free of charge! Read more

This is hands down probably my favourite ramen spot in Calgary; I lived in Vancouver for four years so believe me, I know how to judge a ramen. This place beats out most of my go-to spots in Vancouver. The noodles are perfectly chewy, and the broth was made with ... passion and care. The black tonkotsu is probably my favourite, with the most perfect proportion of black garlic oil. They also make the most amazing chicken ramen; a quality type that we haven't had since our favourite spot back in B.C. Small dining area, so be prepared to wait during busy times; however it is well worth it. Between the wife and I, we've been back four times over the past week alone. Read more
