    Fresh, delicious ramen and sushi on a ski mountain! Very friendly staff, delicious food made to order, and wide variety of drinks - and of course, amazing views. Really nicely decorated space, incredibly clean and well-maintained considering it's at the base of a ski resort. Highly recommend for a lunch pit stop or après meal!

    I was on a ramen kick while on this trip. I had the tonkatsu ramen. It had two pieces of pork belly, bok choy, and bamboo shoots. Egg was extra so I didn't get it. The ramen bowl was really good for a ski resort. Very flavorful and perfect while taking a break from snowboarding. They don't take the ikon pass for discounts.

    Came here after a long day of snowboarding. It was definitely warming to have some ramen after a snowy day. The restaurant was right by the skit lifts so it was convenient to get to. It could've been a bit more spacious knowing there are a lot of people still wearing gear whole eating. I got the spicy tonkatsu ramen. It was decent enough to satisfy me but it definitely wasn't authentic ramen. Price point Is what you'd expect from a ski resort so no surprise there. Also got the mango ice cream. It was alright. It was enough to satisfy me so that's fine. I forgot our server's name but he was really nice and funny. Made the experience of eating there a bit better.

One roll had perfectly grilled pieces on top with avocado that added a nice smoky flavor, while the other had a great crunchy texture that balanced everything out really well. I also ordered what I believe was a matcha drink, and it paired perfectly with the meal. It was smooth, refreshing, and a nice contrast to the richness of the sushi. Everything tasted high quality and thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the whole place had a great vibe. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in Banff and craving good sushi and a solid matcha drink. Service was great. But a little slow

Karaoke rooms available for large groups with high minimum spends. However, when it comes to the food, I've got issues. The happy hour menu boasts several discounted (half price) sushi rolls, which sound great. However, in execution, they are flooded with mayonnaise (not included in the menu's ingredients). This adds so much extra salt and oil to the sushi that it drowns out the true flavor of the fish. For the first time in my life, I couldn't finish my sushi, and I had no desire to eat any leftovers. Also, reservations are not required, but they definitely help (and require a credit card reservation). If you show up for happy hour, get there early, becasue the space fills up fast!

Lets get to the food shall we * Karaage - Texture is on point. Crisp is nice and light. Lemon compliments the chicken pieces. 8.7/10   * Takoyaki - The temperature is super correct. It has to be below molten lava levels. The flavors are good to go. 9/10   * Shoyu Ramen (Ramen of the Day) - let's get the egg out of the way. Its a little overdone.

I ordered the salmon oyako don, it was generously portioned and absolutely delicious. We also shared a few small plates: agedashi tofu, scallops, chicken yakitori, and ended on a sweet note with a maple miso crème brûlée. My husband especially loved the bamboo and mushroom served with the scallops and was able to order it separately as an appetizer. Even during the busy Canada Day weekend, we were seated right away around 8 PM. Our server was friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a great dining experience in Banff, I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

You'll need to walk downstairs to get in. It's an order-at-the-counter spot, and they bring the food to your table. They offer a variety of noodle dishes ranging from Thai and Japanese to Malaysian. I ordered the Thai tom yum noodle soup, and my husband got the beef soup. If you're looking for authentic Thai tom yum, this isn't it--it's more like tom yum broth with noodles added, which is different from traditional tom yum noodle soup. That said, it was still good enough for me. My husband thought the beef soup was just okay. The staff was nice and friendly. Overall, it's a solid and convenient stop, but not a must-visit for me.

Very friendly, very cozy, and food came out almost immediately since it was a late lunch time. Service was spot on. They have a good choice of food. Not the usual big serving, it was enough for one person and I like that it was not very salty and just enough seasoning/spice. The Ube croquetas was a good surprise, the Ube itself was almost tasteless but combined with the breaded coating made it hard to put down. The takoyaki was pleasantly good, came out immediately after it was cooked. I recommend that as well. A very good place to enjoy warm soup and what looked like a family owned business. Check them out!
