Delicious hand-made ramen and soup. The chef tastes every bowl of ramen to ensure quality before serving.

This place made me fall in love with ramen once and forever

Second visit in the past few months. Overpriced and overrated. Had the “traditional” ramen this time. Was pricey and mostly just noodles and broth - half an egg, piece of seaweed, 2 small uninspiring pieces of pork. Had to pay extra for chili oil, and I really only wanted a small amount. Have had better, more reasonably priced, ramen elsewhere. Place is small and music was super loud. Service feels rushed.

It seems absurd that I’ve never reviewed Shiki Menya because we have been frequenting for years; but I can’t say enough good things. From the service, to the food - we love it here.

Usually a good sign when people line up outside down the street. I appreciate the details to ensure quick service and fast turn arounds. Server informed us they don’t split bills, menu mentioned no takeout or boxes for left overs.. assuming it’s to move people thru efficiently! Service was quick, food was great. If needed; Next door is their takeout spot, even have take home ramen kits.

Waited in line for 40 minutes just to find out they no longer carry gf noodles and didn't have any alternative options on their menu. Wouldn't recommend to anyone with a gluten sensitivity or celiac.

BEST RAMEN IN CALGARY. I have been dining at this restaurant for over 10 years now, and every time I go back I understand why (again) I love this place so much. Their Kara Miso Garlic HITS like nothing else. Perfectly balanced with umami, spice, fat, sweetness, etc. Koki knows what he's doing! Delicious and thank you!
The classic beef shoyu ramen tasted mainly like smoke brisket dripping. Very heavy, greasy and salty. Can barely taste the chicken broth. Not a pleasant taste in my opinion. Was hoping for a cleaner taste broth with depth of flavor but this is not it. We were forced to finish and pay in 1 bill within 40min of us getting there (there's no line up outside yet) Very rushed. The place is loud. seats are not comfy. price is steep but not worth it. It used to offer better tasting ramen but not anymore. This is not a place for you if you are looking for authentic Japanese ramen flavor. But if you love fusion westernized noodle soup then sure give it a shot.

Worth the hype, order the pork broth ramen, but the sea weed flavor cover the pork broth too much, bowl is big but portion is small, also order chicken karaage and takoyaki, chicken is so so, takoyaki is ok, 2 ramen and 2 side plus tips and tax is quite expensive, $38 per person, this price can go to eat all you can eat, or any other Asian cuisine, I don’t think worth it for line up, and the server doesn’t have any service or ask you how was the food. but the decorations at store is good. In general I won’t come back, there is other ramen tastes more original than here.

Dined in with my family’s friend for the first time as she saw people on threads suggesting this ramen place. We went there at around noon and it was busy! They only open from Monday to Saturday 11:00-3:00pm, first come first serve , we lined up for about 10 minutes and got in ,we sat to the table underneath the speaker. To me it was a little bit noisy but on the other hand I like their music! Pretty cool place, we ordered two Yuzu Shio classic,one black tonkotsu black and one miso ramen for the kid. Also 8 pieces of house made gyoza, food was great, the yuzu one is slightly different than what I had in Japan, to me i like it with more yuzu flavor in it to bring out the freshness of yuzu, the broth is a little bit salty but so far it was pretty good ?? the char-siu is so juicy and tender, the soft boiled egg was just right! Recommend to anyone interested in ramen! It’s the first time I can taste the yuzu flavour ramen in YYC! It’s unique!
