Ramen Arashi

This place is a hidden gem because who woulda thought you’d find some of the best ramen in CANMORE, ALBERTA!

Located just 20 mins outside of Banff, this small restaurant doesn’t do much aesthetically but gives its all culinary department! (As I am writing this, I have just realized there is also an location in Banff, yay) At a restaurant like Ramen Arashi, you are truly just going for the food because the service is nothing out of this world, seating is extremely limited and there is no waiting area. But as I said, the food does not disappoint.

We started with the Pork Gyoza, which was pretty standard. Then we ordered Signature Tantan and Black Arashi ramen bowls. These bowls were actually amazing!! The bowls included the best pork belly and best noodles I’ve ever had in ramen till date. The pork belly was delicious and so tender. The noodles were a perfect texture, thick with a nice chew to them. The only thing I didn’t really love was the amount of spinach in the Tantan, it was cold/almost frozen and kind of took away from the dish.
Just as a FYI, Arashi also has some supposedly super good vegan and gluten free options in their menu - so some of the babes won’t be left out, haha!

Hands down the best ramen I've ever had. I love the blend of flavours and we tried spice level 3!! Also love their crispy chicken, it's fried to perfection, crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Great service too!

Please open an outlet in Calgary too!

Must try
Chicken karaage
Devil's Arashi

Good ramen, but personally I like super hot soup, but soup was just warm.
And peanut flavor is too strong for me.
It’s just my personal opinion.

We stumbled upon Ramen Arashi around 10am while parking in the town after doing an early morning hike in Canmore. So glad we got to try their take on ramen. The black garlic ramen was amazing! The flavours of the black sesame broth were prevalent, along with the creamy peanut flavours. Would 100% recommend if you happen to be in the area!

This small, unassuming restaurant is located in a strip mall that we almost drove by. We arrived around 8 pm after a long day of sightseeing. Despite the fact that it was only 30 minutes from closing, we were greeted with a smile. Fortunately there were a few open tables.

The waitress explained that they can adjust the spice level of the first 4 ramen dishes in the menu and you can omit any ingredients you don't like. I ordered a mild Arashi ramen, my husband ordered the Black Tan Tan, and my daughter ordered the Miso ramen without green onions. Very delicious!

Delicious!!! Best ramen I’ve ever had. Still thinking about it months later. Make sure you get there early as there will be a (very worthwhile) wait.

Incredible ramen in an unassuming little strip mall in Canmore. This place was not in our radar for dinner but we were looking for soup. Alas, Maps brought us here. And we were not disappointed. It was a freezing night but the establishment was still packed full. The ramen selections are modest. But the quality was amazing. And the service was very friendly in this humble space. We will definitely be back and we're thrilled we now have this to add to our dining options.

I recently visited Ramen Arashi and was blown away by the delicious vegan options they had available! The staff were all so friendly and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone in search of a tasty and satisfying meal. Plus, the fact that they have vegan options is a major plus in my book. Overall, an excellent experience at Ramen Arashi!
