This ramen was so yummy. The broth was not too salty and had a prominent yuzu flavor as promised! I usually 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.
Ramen Arashi is a good, probably your best option in Canmore to satisfy your Asian noodle fix. That said I found it extremely salty... like hours later I felt dehydrated and had a small headache.
No-frills casual restaurant, but their ramen is really good, the broth is just so satisfying. Their gyoza has a great filling also, too bad it's fried instead of steamed. Went once when not busy and once when it was full with people on waitlist, service was great both times.
Quick decision for ramen, good choice, would return! We were sat right away on a Thursday evening in a small, casual styled place which seemed to have a steady flow of customers. Our orders we're taken right away, and we both decided to get the popular Arashi ramen. A pork bone and Arashi sesame broth base topped with pork belly, egg, spinach, seaweed, bamboo shoots, chili, onion, and peanut. The noodles were cooked perfectly, not overdone, flavors not over powering, mild heat spice. We both agreed could of been a tad more spicy and probably could of asked but they were busy. The food arrived quickly and was very tasty! We would return to try other menu items and highly recommend for a reasonably priced meal!
Arashi's soup broth is unique in that they flavor their pork broth with sesame seed paste. We tried both the white and black sesame seed paste broths (Arashi and Black Arashi); both were very good. The ramen noodles were cooked perfectly al dente. The pork belly was marinated with a nice soy flavor. The toppings had various textures and flavor profiles. Overall, we had very satisfying and comforting bowls of ramen. They have several locations, including both Canmore and Banff. At this location, it was a 30 minute wait for 2 people on a Sunday night. It was worth the wait for 30 minutes, but not sure if it would be worth more than that, especially after a tiring day of hiking. Their waitlist could use some improvement. Right now, they would telephone every guest when his or her table is ready. Everyone is just waiting outside their entrance. They could just call out the name like any other restaurant...
Casual popular small restaurant chain in Canmore, Banff etc. no frill ramen. Good premium edamame and appetizers plate. We ordered black arashi, signature arashi, shoyu ramen, seafood ramen. Good ramen, tasty soup. Fillings. Quick serve.
Comfort food like ramen always warms the body and soul on a cool evening. I was craving something Asian and with noodles so we searched and found this small shop in a little strip mall just off Main (8th). Walk in and put your name on the list to get a seat. If you want to order takeout, just head directly to the cash register and order. It's a small place that seats maybe 20 people or so. So if you are more than 2 people, you may expect to wait a bit for a couple tables to clear so that they can clean and combine them. We waited about 15 minutes because we were only 2. While waiting, look at the menu so you can order immediately upon getting a table. We ordered the edamame, Miso tonkotsu and the arashi ramen. Good size portions. The edamame was served warm with sea salt... Just the way I like it! I enjoyed my miso tonkotsu... Savory with lots of noodles. The miso flavor was light. The noodles were tasty and plentiful. The corn added sweetness. The husband got the signature ramen which is very peanut-y. It was almost like a peanut broth with noodles. It was definitely different and interesting. Service was good and they were hopping in the kitchen constantly in motion. The cooks were really busy to keep up with dine in and takeout orders at the same time.
We were in the mood for some ramen for an early lunch and found Ramen Arashi tucked away on the 2nd floor of a small mall in Banff. The small ramen shop has an open kitchen and limited seating (about 5 tables). The all Japanese crew added an authentic touch. We ordered the miso ramen and Arashi ramen. The noodles were cooked just right. Both broth were flavorful and rich, but we preferred the miso ramen more. By the time we finished eating, the line was forming outside the door, and I over heard the wait would be 45 minutes. Since they don't take reservation, I would suggest show up outside of peak hours or get to-go (they have a booth on the first floor of the same mall) to avoid the wait.
Stopped in Canmore for Safeway and ended up at Ramen Arashi for dinner. It's a small restaurant and it was packed. Upon entry, there is a sign up sheet for a table. I was able to get a counter seat. I had the Arashi ramen, which has tonkotsu soup with Arashi sesame base, pork belly, half an egg, spinach, seaweed, bamboo, chili oil, and peanuts. The broth was so flavorful. The entire ramen bowl was so good and one of the best I've had. It had chili oil, but wasn't too spicy. I really enjoy this meal.
I was not impressed with this place - they were out of pork the night I came so I got the miso ramen with chicken and the flavors were not hitting. We were seated at stools along the wall and you're just staring at a blank wall which also wasn't great.
Ramen Arashi is a busy place! I discovered their other location years ago in Banff. When I saw there was another one in Canmore, I knew I had to visit. They were busy when my wife and I arrived the first time we went there. After an hour waiting, we were finally seated. We liked everything about their ramen. The broth was very good for the area. The noodles seemed to be the perfect thickness. The chasu they gave was thick. It even came with an egg. We liked what was included in a bowl of ramen. Service was good even though by the time we were seated, they were starting to close. At no time did they rush us. We tried to go there again a few days later. But, this time the wait was even longer. After waiting a few minutes, we decided to do their takeout instead. Even with a drive back to the hotel, the ramen was good. Ramen Arashi is a great place for ramen when visiting Banff. I definitely will visit them if I am in the area again.
I ordered their black Arashi ramen: tonkotsu/pork bone broth with a black sesame base. The ramen bowl had the right amount of ramen with al dente texture. It had spinach, bamboo shoots, half an egg, green onions, two pieces of chashu, and a piece of seaweed. The black sesame adds a nutty and creamy taste to the bone broth. I would come back again if I'm ever in the area.
Located inside one of the "malls" in downtown Banff. The all Japanese staff helped add to the feel good factor about the authenticity. It's decent ramen for a tourist town. We got the Akashi and the miso tonkotsu, with the miso being the favorite out of the two. Service was good and this spot gets packed very quickly. Interior is packed and quaint. There is another spot downstairs owned by the same company / owners and it seems they also have a location in Canmore. Overall not bad considering being in Banff.

I've had many Ramen before, and this is surprisingly one of the best. I love the Arashi noodle, especially the soup of it, rich, well flavored. Rhe place is clean and very well maintained. The service is polite, and superly fast. read more
This place was so good we went twice during our 4 day visit. I am really glad my curious boyfriend decided to trail off the main street and discovered this hidden gem. The seaweed salad was fresh and tasty. I had the Arashi ramen on both occasions and it was delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful. It's not spicy at all but you can ask for hot chilli oil or spicy miso if you want to give it a kick. The portion size was good and they were generous on the noodles. My group also tried the devil's arashi, spicy to tonkutsu and Veg black tan tan. They were all great. They don't take reservations and the place is small so make sure to arrive early. We got lucky both days and didn't have to wait long but I would definitely say it's worth any wait. I definitely recommend visiting if you're in the Banff area. 10/10. read more

Cute little ramen shop in Canmore! Service was fast , efficient and polite. I had the Devils Arashi Ramen but added an egg and nori on the side. The noodles were ultra chewy and the broth spicy and flavourful. Got level 3 spicy and it was just perfect read more

The food is pretty decent for a non culturally diverse area with authentic feeling food comparable to larger cities. If you are sick of burgers and fries in the area or pub food this is a good food choice for you The chicken karage bowl had a good amount of sauce without being too saucy. The chicken was crispy and yummy The arashi ramen had a nice peanut flavored soup base. The noodles were springy and had a nice bite and chew. Pork belly was tender. Came together as a well balanced treat It is so hot in here it is a free sauna while you eat, if you are cold in the mountains. read more

Truth be told, I didn't expect much from a random ramen place I found that was conveniently on my drive to Banff but this place is AMAZING. Okay, okay, hear me out first - I've been disappointed by too many "quick detour" ramen places during my travels and I admit San Francisco and LA ramen has probably skewed my standards to bordering unreasonable but I swear I'm not trying to be too critical . As mentioned, I had pretty low expectations and didn't even spend too much time looking at the menu. I almost randomly chose the Black Arashi ramen since it had their namesake. When it came, I was taken aback by the fragrance of the broth. This is top tier ramen broth. The flavor profile was full and well rounded. Umami for days. Full disclosure too - I didn't fully read the broth description which clearly stated it was sesame based and I actually dislike sesame. However, the broth was so good that I was actually okay with it and still think it tasted great. Next time I would definitely try the Devil's Arashi or just the plain Tonkotsu broth. Service was excellent and they sat us even though we came quite close to their closing time. Overall would highly recommend stopping by this place if you're driving from Calgary to Banff as it transcends the typical "quick detour" ramen place and I honestly which there were more like this one. read more
Flying from the US to Canmore just to go to Ramen Arashi is worth the time and flight fare. By far the best Ramen I've ever eaten. I had the Devils Arashi (level 2 heat was quite hot), which was so flavorful. The miso pork bone broth was loaded with Ramen, spinach, and tofu. The restaurant staff was very friendly and helpful. Don't miss this gem. read more

Craving for ramen? I recommend getting either the black arashi ramen or the original/spicy tonkotsu ramen! I love the mix of sesame and the broth. It's sooo good! Perfect to get for the cold weather or any season in Canmore. Staff are very attentive and friendly. The place is quite small so it might be difficult for big parties to eat. However, they have a decent amount of tables and chairs. If ever I come back to visit Canmore, I'll definitely eat here again. read more

Fast, efficient, pleasant, friendly service. Ramen was flavourful and portion size was generous. Limited seating, so the place fills up easily since it's popular--we dined mid-afternoon and there were no empty seats, including the bar along the wall, and a steady stream of patrons. read more

Pretty good ramen. Hot, fresh and good. Edamame was good, I would ask for some salt on it though! Take out only during Covid. Grabbed a quick Christmas bite. Glad they were open as we were driving from Jasper. Love their takeaway containers. Very secure! read more

Best Ramen I've had outside of Japan! Tiny little place that seats about 20-25. They did a great job getting the steady stream of customers taken care of. Friendly staff. Highly recommend. read more
What a solid ramen spot! We ordered the arashi ramen, spicy tonkotsu ramen, chicken karaage and takoyaki. My fave were the ramen. The arashi ramen was on the creamier side while spicy tonkotsu was less heavy but more flavorful (and spicy). I would definitely come back, so perfect for a cold winter day. read more
