"Katsu"

Rubbery, small cut and very sad food. Possibly the worst Japanese food in Calgary. I do not recommend

Curry Ramen
Victor P.

I tried the Curry Ramen, which piles squid, mussels, scallops, and prawns on top of ramen noodles in a creamy curry sauce. It was served piping hot and was just spicy enough for my taste. Think of it as Japanese comfort food, perfect for a rainy weeknight. Service was pleasant and attentive.

My first time at this location, me and fiancé had driven around looking for a ramen restaurant during a recent business trip to Calgary and this restaurant called out to us. Their entire process during covid-19 is pretty seamless and smooth. The meals we had were delicious and excellent. My ramen was absolutely monstrous; there were photos of the MegaRamen challenge (4x servings) winners just above our dining area, I can't honestly imagine eating all that after seeing my single serving portion of ramen. Visit this location for some interesting menu offerings and atmosphere.

Tonkotsu Ramen
Kathy L.

We came here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch because it was close by and we've heard it has great value. The service was decent and quick. The high ceilings, the decorations and spacious seating gives this restaurant a modern Asian feel. This is also great for group settings. Saturday's lunch special was the tonkotsu ramen with a side of veggie tempura for $15. The tonkotsu ramen was decent. The soup was flavourful and filled with generous cuts of pork belly and a bacon wrapped pork chashu. The noodles were thicker but the texture didn't seem to soak up the broth as much as I would have liked. The tempura came with broccoli, yam, red pepper and 2 eggplants. In my opinion the eggplants tasted the best but the tempura batter wasn't as airy and crispy as it can be. Overall, I agree the ramen special was a decent value and would come back if it's convenient.

Great spot by the university for Japanese food and sushi. Every time I've been here I've been satisfied with the food and service. The staff are always smiling and helpful, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is generally pleasant. The takoyaki is really delicious here, and there is a lot of choice on the menu. If you come during lunch time you can usually get a special on a bento box which has a little bit of everything. I personally really like the chicken teriyaki here, the grilled veggies add a nice smoky flavour to the dish, while the green onions add freshness and bite.

Takoyaki

Update: Much better experience on our 2nd visit. This time we bought more family members and ordered more food. We ordered black ramen, seafood black ramen, 2 orders of tonkatsu ramen, bento box, korean ramen, and 2 orders of takoyaki. On top of our huge order we got a bowl of curry don for free(that day they had an offer: If you spend $50 or more you get the curry don for free)!This time all of our dishes were excellent(lacking in presentation a lil bit), I especially loved their curry don and black ramen. They even gave use free mini mango pudding shots. Service was great as well except for at the start we waited around 15 minutes to get our drinks. Even though the restaurant was busy, since we came at lunch time, our orders came right away. For the quantity and quality of food we got, and for the price, definitely would recommend Wami Ootoya to friends and family.

Larger greenfish box

Ordered take out from here based on IG pics and reviews. Complete rip off for the box. See the pics for the sushi. it's sushi for children...or ants...portions are so small. We had to make other food. This will maybe feed 2 people who aren't very hungry. Looks are deceiving. Sushi is just mediocre cheap sushi with a cucumber role? Why even bother?

Poke nachos
Justine R.

I'm very happy to see a ramen place pop.uo in the northwest especially one with lots of parking! The menu is quite large. I tried the house tonkatsu ramen and the poke nachos. The ramen broth was rich and not too salty. The toppings were generous and I was happy that the bowls came with half of an egg. The pork belly was very interesting: half of the slices reminded me of a porchetta with pork sausage wrapped in pork loin. The other half were pork belly slices rolled into discs. The poke was my favourite part - tuna and salmon sashimi mixed with avocado served on fried wonton crisps. The serving portion was very large and it would be great for sharing! Service was fast and attentive.

Not bad. Not spectacular or outstanding but not bad. I had the garlic tonkotsu ramen and salmon + tuna sashimi plate for lunch and food came out really fast. The sashimi was fresh and cut nicely, but the ramen fell short of expectations. The noodle was a tad firm - I don't think it was undercooked, but rather, it was the texture. Chashu slices had a nice balance of fat and lean meat and the ajitama (half) was cooked nicely. What I didn't like was how they incorporated the garlic into the broth - the tonkotsu broth was not flavorful enough on its own and they just put a scoop of cooked garlic (garlic confit?) into it... I think a rich garlic oil or sauce would've made the flavors stood out more. Price point is not too bad and service was excellent. 3.5 stars overall.

Korean Ramen

Our experience at Wami Ootoya was a fantastic one! What a find in Brentwood! This is a great place for an early dinner as it's opened practically the whole day. We ordered the following items: - Endamame - lightly salted and warm - Spider Roll - There were 8 pieces of still warm rice with lightly battered spider crab and cucumber. Very fresh tasting. - Tonkatsu Ramen - the best bone broth I've tasted in a long time with the softest and tasties pork belly slices - Black Tonkatsu Ramen - similar to above except with black squid ink - Korean Ramen - Spicy soup and a hit with my dad! - Black Seafood Ramen - a clear squid ink broth with mussels, prawns, baby scallops and green onions. Quite tasty and not too salty. The ramen is springy and freshly made. Upon finishing our meal, the very nice waitress brought 4 tiny chocolate cupcakes with green tea cream on the top! A very nice finish for a lovely meal. Oh, definitely we will be back! There are loads more that I want to try.

Absolutely delicious! I have been here seven times for family dinners. The food and service is amazing. Five thumbs up for sure. I highly recommend this Asian Restaurant, BTW they make awesome Bubble Tea in there Loft Bubble Tea Bar upstairs.

Wednesday special: Loco Moco
Sandra I.

Was eager to try this place because a) ramen b) walking distance from U of C. They have sushi, ramen, udon and many other dishes, so it really covers a variety of tastes depending on what you craving that day. A friend and I came in on a weekday afternoon and we left little disappointed. Service was poor and food wasn't anything mindblowing. I was craving spicy miso ramen, but unfortunately they didn't have that on the menu. Normally I would get a miso broth and just add chili oil or some sort of spice to it, but they didn't have that option either. I decided to get the Korean ramen which instead had a tomato based broth that I was slightly apprehensive of, but I wanted to give it a go. I liked the spice level but the broth and noodles were a little bland. I do appreciate that it had 3 pieces of char su pork and that it was delicious. My friend got the lunch special of the day, which was the loco moco. It came with soup and salad and he said he liked it. It was a pretty good price too. We ordered chicken kaarage and gyoza which were pretty good. Despite being the absolute ONLY people in the entire place (which is pretty big), we had barely any interaction with the staff. They only came by to take our order and give us the bill. They didn't check in on us once and didn't refill our waters. I couldn't even flag anyone down because no one walked by. Once they cleared our plates, they immediately came back with the bill, the machine and started punching our bill in without saying a word. Needless to say, it was poor service all around and we felt pretty rushed despite being the only people there. I hope this was a one-off time with the service because I wasn't impressed at all, which is why I'm giving it a 2 star from an otherwise 3 star place. Food was okay, but the service was seriously lacking. I might have to wait a while before I give this place another go.

Spicy korean ramen

Looking for a non-pub place to eat near the university, a friend (and fellow Yelper!) suggested Wami. Walking in the first thing that caught my eye was the Mega Ramen challenge advert. Finish the bowl (which was equivalent to 4 serving sizes of ramen) within 20 mins and it's free and you also had a chance to win prizes! Was I game? Hellllllll no. Was I hoping someone would do it while I was there? Absolutely! Lol My friend and I got the aburi salmon oshizushi as an appie and we each got regular sized ramens as our mains. Then a gong rang out, lo and behold, a table close to us was doing the challenge - YES! I really enjoyed the aburi salmon, there was a perfect caramelization from the sear and the unagi sauce was a nice touch. My spicy Korean ramen was pretty tasty. Although, we spent our dinner sneaking glances at the guy doing the challenge that I think by mere proximity, we got full without touching our meals lol I packed up my leftovers (which made for a great lunch the next day) and they brought us complimentary mango puddings for dessert! For those wondering, the guy did end up completing the challenge in the allotted time. I don't know whether he won a prize or where he placed. Oh! If you shop at the Brentwood Coop, the back of your receipt has a coupon for BOGO free for ramen or sushi roll with the purchase of two drinks. Totally worth it!

Great atmosphere for conversation

See all
