    Salmon sushi

    Excellent food. Kind service. We had the BBQ pork, gyoza, miso, and some nigiri. It was all very enjoyed.

    Vegan tofu rice bowl

    Jugemu. I like saying that word. Probably not a great reason to eat at a restaurant but there is lots to love here. A smallish, happy, comfortable spot staffed by personable, friendly people serving delicious Japanese offerings. The tofu rice bowl was especially tasty, featuring flavorful tofu patties instead of the usual cubed tofu. Jugemu. Go ahead, say it out loud. And then go eat there. It'll bring you joy.

    We stumbled upon this hidden gem when we went in one afternoon inside the Clock Tower Village Mall and thought to go back and eat dinner here at Jugemu. It is a small restaurant but the price point of the food is kind of affordable considering everything in Banff is expensive. We were seated right away as it was not that busy around 8:30 pm on a Sunday night, and the vibe was perfect for a chill and relaxing Japanese dinner. We ordered three hot starters: edamame with truffle oil, wagyu beef gyoza, and miso soup. I truly enjoyed all these starters as they were delicious. The miso soup was not salty and the wagyu beef gyoza was simply delectable. My husband ordered the creamy garlic ramen and added chashu pork and flavored egg. It was comforting and a good ramen. He ordered two beers and he enjoyed Naito the most. Service was quick and the only server was friendly and attentive. We are so glad we found this place and will eat here again if ever we go back to Banff.

    Good food, reasonable price in a tucked away corner on Banff Street. Lunch special rice bowls $16 with pickles and kimchi as sides. We took the pork belly on rice w salad. Service is friendly and prompt. Full at dinner time!

    Went back a 2nd time and just as good as the first! Same amazing service with deliciously crispy dishes.

    Battered cod rice bowl and creamy garlic miso ramen

    We stumbled on to this place by accident as it was tucked away inside a mall. However, we were so glad that we did bc food was so tasty! Salad (with carrot ginger dressing) was refreshing and their battered cod rice bowl was delicious!!! My husband ordered creamy garlic miso ramen and that was good too...the broth was rich but not greasy. Their rice bowls are their specialities and you can't go wrong g with them. If you are craving some good Asian food while at Banff, definitely give Jugemu a try! Service was very friendly and attentive too!! 5 star all around!!

    We ate here every night we were in Banff! Sure, there's lots…read moreof options, but this was where I felt the most comfortable eating, vegan options and knowing that my food would not be crossed contaminated. Service was excellent! Staff were so friendly impatient with us even when they were so busy most nights. We were creative and got something different to try each night and we liked everything. Something else we like more than others and would get over and over again and that includes the mushroom ravioli, cheesy gnocchi, the purple haze smoothie and kimchi burger. And I believe my husband really enjoyed his legume burger and I enjoyed my falafel salad however I substituted my falafel's for tofu. Ambience is great not too loud indoor and outdoor seating. Good for individuals or large groups.

    Pure veggie place - they always ask you if you want things vegan as well. Very unique menu - they…read morehave taken an asian twist and have unique dishes like cucumber with peanuts and kimchi burger and the world famous nacho with 27 items (including orange, strawberry and mango plus lentils etc). The outdoor seating during summer while looking at the Rocky Mountains was spectacular- bring some mosquitoes spray / they will enjoy biting you, while you enjoy the food :) The service was great - we asked for extra ice and they got it - we hung out late and the staff was so accommodating. 5/5 for service! The food for me was 3/5 and the ambiance was 5/5.

    Delicious Bao Buns. Did not have a chance to try all other delicious looking foods but must say…read morepresentation looked amazing. Went somewhere else for Bao Buns because they had more reviews and wished I had not. Next time we will eat out entire meal here! Atmosphere great with some outdoor seating.

    Came here for dinner due to unique menu selection (love at first 'sight' of the menu')…read more Nice ambience. Busy place. We got table right away. They came 3x and we were not ready to order. By the time we were ready, it took a while to find someone to take our order. The most wanted item is sold out, a fact that they told us upon ordering. Will be appreciated if we know ahead of time so we have more time to consider 'back up item'. There was a table beside us (came after us) who also discussed about ordering same sold-out items, and I was very tempted to tell them that it's sold out. But I figure it's not my place to say because the restaurant must have its own reason for NOT telling this upfront!!?????!! Ordered pork belly skewer , shiitake skewer, shrimp in spicy peanut sauce, and aburi salmon handroll, miso creme brulee. Best items are the shrimp with spicy peanut sauce, and miso creme brulee. Just wow!! For the rest: -If u have eaten shiitake before (at home for example) , u know nothing can go wrong with shiitake as it's already flavorful in its own (safe choice). -Pork belly has good flavor but kinda too fatty (it is a totally different style from the one I usually eat at other places). -Aburi salmon handroll doesnt taste like aburi at all. Just normal handroll basically. Nth special. It was my friend's birthday, we asked if they hv noodle (considering we were farrr from home) and they said it's only available during lunch (which is understandable), but then nth else was done to help celebrate this moment when they hear this fact (simple smile or simple 'happy birthday' could be a gift in its own). Overall, food-wise, we agree on best item and that this place is kinda meh (in terms of food selection and feels like very few 'flavor-worthed' ones).
