Ate here on our way back to the hotel from a full hiking day in BANFF. Long story short, I was glad…read morewe decided to eat here! * Complimentary parking in the lot for 90minutes with license plate registration * Service (5/5 stars): servers were all attentive, friendly, & helpful * Ambiance: plenty of tables & booths to host larger groups + tables w/ 4 people seating Food was large portions which we appreciated and their sushi wasn't bad either! Honestly no notes, 5/5 would recommend coming here with an empty stomach!

We went here on a whim on our way out of Canmore, and I can't say we enjoyed it much. We ordered…read morebeef udon, shrimp tempura, and some nigiri. The toro nigiri barely tastes like anything and the unagi was normal tasting, nothing special. The shrimp tempura was fine as well but I wouldn't say it was anything great. The beef udon was not good and the beef was insanely tough, making the soup completely not worth eating. I don't recommend this place but it's not terrible. I dont think I'll return.

This ramen was so yummy. The broth was not too salty and had a prominent yuzu flavor as promised! I…read moreusually only take a few sips of ramen broth because it's often too heavy, but I almost finished this one! Most restaurants also don't feature a yuzu shio. Toppings were room temp, not warm, but the flavor made up for it. Also, there are signs stating they cannot guarantee zero cross contamination and a majority of the ramen dishes contain peanuts. I gave it a chance and was fine.

*Late review* Came here at the ending of last year…read more Walking around the Banff town and heard good things about this place on social media and we saw the line was long outside so maybe there was some hype? The inside is very small and everyone sits around the conveyor belt. It is first come first serve so plan ahead if you wanna beat the lunch/dinner rushes. We went around 1:30 and it took us maybe ~40 minutes to get seated for a party of six (we didn't want to be separated). There is a sushi chef in the middle who makes the sushi right in front of you which is pretty entertaining. As for ordering, you can either ask the chef or your server. They are always putting different things on the conveyor belt so there is always an assortment of sushi to try. We weren't a fan of the sashimi but we did order a lot of the rolls. Their spicy ahi is different from what we're used to - it's just plain ahi with a drop of sriracha on top. Our favorite roll was probably the deep fried shrimp roll and California roll. You can't go wrong with that. We ordered the seaweed salad and potato croquette a couple of times. Price wise it's pretty expensive for the amount and quality that you get. All the food on the menu ranges from about $4.95-$7.95. IMO you're paying for the experience - sushi chef in front of you, conveyor belt, plates on a sushi train. There is one server for the restaurant because the seating area is so small, but the staff in general is pleasant. It's OK but hits the spot if you want a little sushi fix.

Ok, so I was a bit apprehensive about this place because of it being "revolving sushi"; however, I…read morewas pleasantly surprised! You won't find an extensive menu with lots of fancy rolls, but you can get some delicious salmon, yellowtail, or tuna. They also make shrimp tempura rolls, California rolls, and desserts. My favorite was the atomic mayo tuna, so good! My husband enjoyed the scallop. The staff here is so friendly. It's a tiny spot, so depending on when you go you might have to wait. If you are craving sushi this a great place to grab a quick bite!

I got the curry udon and it came out piping hot, udon noodles were cooked well, and filling for a dinner. The restaurant itself is fairly small - with 15 seats or so. We were there for an early weekday dinner and there was no wait. The food came out pretty quickly. The place is also popular for takeout. Definitely a good / affordable place for being right in the middle of Banff. It really hit the spot on a cold rainy day.

We ordered the miso ramen, the katsudon, and the katsu curry. The portions were large and everything tasted great. The katsu curry was probably the best dish since it actually had a spicy kick and not sweet like other Japanese curries I've had in the past. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was pretty authentic and I wanted to come back but it was closed for the next 2 days (Monday and Tuesday) so you should check their hours on the door just in case.

Unfortunately, my order was forgotten, and one of the employees had to come over and double-check our receipt before making it. It also wasn't busy when we visited, so that was a bit disappointing.

For starters, a fan fell off the wall and hit a customers head. The staff did nothing about it. Okay, wasn't my experience but I'd feel unsafe sitting near those things. The ramen itself was underwhelming as far as flavor goes. Maybe I'm spoiled getting ramen around Convoy in San Diego. The broth was just okay, the pork was just okay, the noodle were just okay. Nothing really stood out. The pork gyoza did have a nice crisp to it, and was probably my favor part of the meal. Personally, I would not go back, and I would not recommend it. A few other spots in the area offer ramen, so I'd try my luck there.
