If you're stopping by for drinks here, you might be disappointed (probably a 2 out of 5 stars) but…read morethe bowls were actually quite tasty! The boba / tapioca pearls were extra mushy without any chew, and the mango green tea was not good (and I'm easy to please!). It tasted like sugar or syrup and not much mango flavor. Between the two of us, we didn't finish the drink. The Teriyaki Beef Bowl did not taste anything like teriyaki; it was more of a gyudon bowl (fortunately, l love that flavor!). The beef was thinly sliced and tender, blending well with the warm rice and corn, and the soft onions were nicely sweet. Our parents ordered their own bowls too and everyone enjoyed them. The sizable portion was filling and big enough to split into 2 light meals. The inside was simple and casual. There was a choice to order at the kiosk or at the counter and several tables inside to eat, and the AC wasn't very strong the day we went. Not sure if I'd be back, but it definitely wouldn't be for the drinks!

It had extended past the entry to the stairs and after discussing with our group and given an estimated waiting time of half an hour. We decided to eat elsewhere cause we were too hungry to wait. The next day, we got here at 4pm and there was only a couple in front of our group. After waiting 15/20 minutes, they were able to seat our whole group of 7 together and we were all able to chow down. My partner got the chicken karaage and spicy tonkatsu ramen while I got the miso tonkatsu. The chicken karaage was not fried in a manner we usually except for chicken karaage. It was fried more similar to US fried chicken!? It was still delicious, just not what we expected and would have liked a little more. The ramens were amazing and delicious~~ It was quite satisfying with the pork belly and noodles. I liked the chewiness in the noodles too. Service was quite speedy and overall a great experience for our group~

The tonkotsu was pretty classic and the broth was fantastic. The arashi is supposedly their signature. The broth tasted like tonkotsu with sesame blended in. Personally, I prefer the tonkotsu for the cleaner taste. Their pork is tender and the noodles had the right amount of chew.

The hype is real for this ramen place in Canmore! This place was recommended by our lake tour guide…read morewho told us that the wait was worth it, and that he'd often go there three times a week. My husband and I decided to go here for our final meal before leaving the Banff/Canmore. When we arrived we put our name on the waitlist and because we weren't local, we informed staff and were given a pager to alert us when our table was ready. It is a very small place with a few tables and counter seating. When we entered the restaurant we were seated at the counter and I observed the place being run by only a few people but they have a very smooth system going! Food came out promptly and was well worth the wait! I ordered the original arashi tonkotsu ramen and my husband ordered the black sesame version and we shared a seaweed salad. This broth is delicious and very savory but also it wasn't heavy like some other ramens do. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting, just make sure you have time to wait!

Ramen Arashi is probably one of the best ramen shops in town. We actually wanted to try this…read moreyesterday in Banff, but the time and wait just didn't work out for us, so we aimed to try this today in Canmore. We finished up our day exploring Kootenay and ended up at Ramen Arashi around 7:30ish PM and we entered ourselves on the waitlist. It's a small shop, so we didn't get a chance to ask how long wait would be, but judging by the 10 min wait we did, the turnover seemed fairly quick. We just did a quick walk around the nearby grocery store and back and our table was ready. Between the four of us, we shared Chicken Karaage (2 orders) and a Pork Gyoza. My partner got the Arashi Ramen while I got the Yuzu-Shio Ramen. Order came out quickly. The Chicken Karaage was fried pretty nicely. Juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. It came with a sweet red chili sauce I believe. I think that pairing was okay. Sauce wise, I would have preferred an aioli or none at all. The gyoza were also made the same - juicy on the inside and had a crispy outer wonton shell. This sauce was spicy though! So if your spicy tolerance is low, taste at your own risk. My partner loved it! I just can't handle that spice level. Onto my main dish, the Yuzu-Shio was great for the chilly night! Ramen was perfectly cooked and had a bouncy chew to it. The pork was not too fatty and also tender. The spinach and bamboo shoots were great additional toppings. I wish they swap out the salad leaves with some more hearty veggies since the salad leaves break down with the hot soup pretty easily. Otherwise it was a great and satisfying dinner. I'm glad we got to try this while we were in Canmore!

Maui Wowie Roll, 4/5 -- So delicious, but could've used more ahi tuna King Salmon Sashimi, 5/5 -- No notes, this was amazing Spicy King Salmon Press, 4/5 -- Loved the red miso flavor.

The menu is quite extensive and there's options for everyone. Food portions are great and we loved most of what we ordered but my personal faves were the miso glazed beef ribs, yuzu slaw, and bao buns combo. You can cut the ribs up and stuff them into the buns and top it off with the slaw *chefs kiss*. The drinks were yum, I got the NA matcha colada which I think was the best option out of the spirit free offerings. For dessert we tried the mile high miso pie which was very indulgent and a bit too sweet for us but very interesting combo of flavors esp if you love savory over sweet. The interior is gorgeous and there's a karaoke room in the back for parties. Plenty of bathrooms which are private rooms, love. They even have their own merch out front lol. I'm a fan and def would return when I'm back in Banff.

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).

I'm not usually a fan of matcha flavored candies or desserts, but their matcha tiramisu is made in house AND IT WAS DELIGHTFUL! Don't skip on this;)
