About this restaurant

Hot spot
Good for business meals
Good for groups

The Japanese film Tampopo was marketed as the world’s first “ramen western”. It’s the story of two truck drivers, Goro & Gun, who use their culinary expertise to change the fate of a struggling noodle shop. Those two characters' passion for noodle-making lives on at Calgary’s 150-seat noodle bar — led by executive chef Ryusuke Araki. Located inside Stephen Avenue Place, upstairs on the Plus 15 level, the restaurant melds modern art graphics with distinctive hardwood and right angles of Japanese decor. Tuck into a steaming bowl of ramen with our house-made noodles, made even better with an aji-tama egg. Or depart from noodle fare with house specialities like tuna poke or pork steam buns. Our menu boasts a variety of vegetarian, gluten, and dairy-free options. Whenever possible, dishes are prepared using wild fish instead of farmed. Complete your meal with one of 25 sakes from Goro & Gun’s curated selection from our Sake Sommelier, Amanda Jansen.

I really disliked their ramen. If you like ramen though is probably good? Not sure I didn’t like it at all. The service was awesome and the location is great but the ramen 0/10

This group has it working really well for lunchtime. The food is fresh and quality, and fast paced service. The sushi and sashimi is very fresh. The rolls are excellent. There are very tasty appetizers if you’re not a sushi fan (tempura chicken is amazing). There is also ramen that’s tasty. Overall a great place for lunch meet-ups.

I dined in for the YYC EXP meal and had a fantastic time! Very thoughtfully created dishes and super delicious flavours, especially in the Chocolate Mousse dessert. Braxton and the rest of the team took excellent care of me. I can't wait to come back!

The food and services is always good here. The menu has a bit of a limited/specialized selection but that's why you would go here for that type of food. You won't be disappointed.

Moderately busy at happy hour. Not many servers working so service was slow. Good drinks. Ramen not bad (it’s no Shiki Menya) but lotus tempura pretty bland.
