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.

Fantastic food, great service and energetic vibe. We wanted to check out their happy hour and it didn’t disappoint! Absolutely amazing selection. Just sad we didn’t have enough room to try the ramen. Definitely going back. Great cocktail, beer and sake selection too!

My friends and I wanted an afternoon tea together and we ended up at Goro+Gun during Happy Hour. The restaurant has the longest Happy Hour available that I know of. From 2pm to 7pm. It also has a huge variety of snack foods and drinks. All items are full menu quality and quantity. We were pleasantly surprised by the reasonable menu price, high quality food and the excellent service.

Extremely salty (and I like salty foods). Service was not great as we had to try to flag the waitress a few times (and several did not acknowledge us). Expected better especially for downtown (and servicing business lunches).

Great lunch spot with high quality sushi and ramen. Service is attentive and the flavours are excellent. Had lamb ramen which was very well done, and tuna sushi. Tuna is super fresh and nicely put together. Food comes out quickly once you order which makes for a good lunch location.
