The ramen were frozen ramen packets you can buy at the grocery stores and the soup was definitely not pork bone soup simmered for hours. They did try to make some fusion taste and it was ok but because of the lack of work needed to make this, it should not be priced similar to real ramen. Also comes with a button mushroom disguised as a shitake mushroom. The udon soup was on par with other japanese restaurants since the dashi stock is fairly easy to make. The portion is very huge and the taste is not bad. The tempura was fried nicely. This one is priced fairly. Since Port Alberni lacks authentic Japanese cuisines, this is all they have. Taste-wise is ok for a fusion palate.

What a great little spot. They have pho and ramen everything was good. Our family enjoyed it.read more

My kids loved the shoyu classic ramen & my husband loved the spicy miso! The spicy sauce was served on the side so he could adjust to his spice level.

We quickly sat down and placed our order. Both my friend and I ordered the Bog Mountain ramen. It was well worth the price because it has most of the add ons. My friend ordered the miso broth and I got the shoyou broth. Both broth was a bit bland, but understandable because there are additional add ons that could potentially enhance the flavor. Overall, we thought it was decent. The interior decors felt appropriate for the space. There was booth seating that showcase Japanese murals. It looked really cool.

Was very fast getting seated and the vibe here was awesome people were happy, music was good and the waitresses were very friendly and kind. Regarding the food some say it's overpriced but in my opinion I thought it was justified and inline with the quality. We ordered a variety of different sushi and skipped out on the ramen but from what we heard was what this place is known for. Overall the things we ordered were served fresh, fantastic and delicious I highly recommend the unagi that possessed a smooth smoked flavour overall 9/10 only note is that are one dish took awhile to come which was expected due to the traffic

Apparently, Ramen Arashi is part of a Canadian chain that originated in Banff. It's a clean restaurant and the service was good. The bathroom is very clean and nice. I got the miso ramen and it was yummy but about what you would expect from a ramen place. It's served with a dollop of butter on top which melts nicely into the broth.

It was on the late side for lunch (past 1PM) so we were fortunate enough to be able to walk right in and get served quickly. The takoyaki wasn't the most octopus-stuffed I've ever had, but it was solid! My husband and I split the black sesame tonkotsu ramen and the yuzu shio ramen. Both were unique in their own ways; the black sesame flavor in that tonkotsu was super pronounced and it was a very hearty ramen. The yuzu shio was super light and very flavorful; the yuzu flavor was also super pronounced. Also love the amount of tender chashu slices they give you with each bowl. The lettuce in the yuzu shio bowl was not my favorite; I appreciate the thought of more fiber/something healthier but the soup is so hot that it cooks the leafy greens immediately and I don't love wilted lettuce in my ramen. But all the other toppings were great; bamboo shoots were super flavorful, nori was crunchy, and eggs were perfectly jammy. Great place to grab a bowl of ramen if that's what you're craving!

I love a good tsukemen, but while this place has it, it's fairly mid. It reminded why I usually only get it at tsukemen specific spots. The shoryu ramen was more impressive though still just good. All in all, above average lunch ramen, you could easily do worse, but you could also do better.

Good Non-Alcoholic options. We had truly lovely service too. Made us feel welcome even with coffees and bike helmets in hand.
