Shikiji has best ramen in Calgary and the sushi menu is awesome too! The alcoholic options are authentic and I love the traditional Japanese feel to everything.
The best matcha tiramisu!!! I am definitely coming back for it, ramen was okay iv had better but the dessert was great 😋
Ramen was rich and tasty, more sophisticated than the traditional ramen, reminded me of Shiki Menya but actually tasted better as the soup was piping hot. it would be perfect if the noodle could be a little bit softer, but not a big problem. Shrimp Tempura was not bad, either.
Ok wow! I've just died and gone to ramen 🍜 heaven!! I ordered one of the popular dishes; the Chili Ramen and it was fabulous! It didn't have the egg in it but who cares when it's as magnificent as this?! The broth: homemade and so flavourful. ✅ Ingredients are primo. Just wow!
The service is 100% on point and the establishment is very clean and modern 👍🏼 OH Yes I will be back!!
I've been here twice now for lunch and both times I've had the Chili Goma Ramen and it was excellent both times. This was a dish that I would recommend to anyone if you like mildly spicy food. The place is always busy at lunch but the service has always been friendly and efficient. I will definitely go back to try other offerings.
We enjoy their ramen. Once we also ordered their gyoza dumplings. I enjoy their BBQ pork ramen with pork belly and my husband likes that and the chilli goma. The servings are generous and tasty. I like the toasted sesames that they serve on the side with a mortar and pestle so you can grind it before adding to your soup. They also serve garlic chips and a chilli spice.
I think this was the first ramen shop in Calgary. Not the best ramen but not the worst. Just right in the middle the location is perfect and parking on Center street. Their noodle is slightly on he chewy side but over all not bad.
Came highly recommend. Gyoza was unique, had a really strong flavor that I couldn't put my finger on, had the chili goma Ramen and it was pretty delicious. Would recommend.
Love this place. Ive been a return customer for over 15 years and the food and service is consistently excellent. If I'm craving soul food their soups always deliver, and if I'm craving sushi it is always fresh. This is something that many Japanese restaurants fail at, but where shikiji shines. Great appetizers. Crispy tempura and karage. Friendly staff and a warm vibe.
Friendly staff and good ambiance. It was quite busy but we were able to get a table near the back and I was craving ramen. I got the a shio ramen and my hubby got the special spicy soy ramen. The staff brought out fried garlic chips, chili pepper and chili oil to accompany the ramen which was nice. I thought my shio ramen had a little bit too much green onion and seaweed it in. The broth was a bit too salty for my liking.
Best ramen in town. We have been coming here for 8 yrs and despite all the new ramen shops that have opened around town, this remains the most consistent and best bowl in town: broth is delicious, fatty pork melts in your mouth, cabbage has the perfect consistency
Wonderful atmosphere with friendly staff. A good amount of food variety (even for those who don't eat raw fish). The food portions are large for rolls and if they are not, they are surely unique in flavour/taste. The rice and noodle dishes are large portioned and delicious. Highly recommend this place for everything.
It seems like a typical izakaya, but the menu is more diverse than you'd typically find. They serve ramen to sushi and lots of things in between, and they do it all very well. The sushi is fresh and the service was great. The ramen broth was excellent, though the noodles were not the classic style I was expecting from an authentic restaurant like this (ramen noodles really have to be made fresh in-house to be right, and these don't seem to be). The portion size was a happy medium, so don't be afraid to order a selection of things! If you want just one thing (ramen, etc.) in my opinion it's better to go to a specialty restaurant, but if you want a good selection of Japanese dishes this is a great choice that won't disappoint no matter what you order.
Best Chili Goma Ramen I've had in Calgary, but not the best Ramen. Noodles were good but a bit soft, and there were too many chives for my liking (I was picking them out of my spoon near the end of the bowl). Service was great, prices seem fair for great quality ingredients, and the pork was amazing!
Update 2018: visited a few times and I'm still a fan of their ramen. Tried their Miso ramen for the first time today and it was excellent, noodles we're perfect. Still a few too many veggies for my liking so might ask for fewer chives/scallions next time. Also tried some sushi (hamachi, blue fin, toro) and they were all great but I felt the hamachi and toro were very very small. Service was ok but they were pretty busy.
This place is for the great ramen. Soy ramen is really good and I personally love the Chili Goma ramen. It's a small, busy, noisy and not so fancy place. But they provide good and quick services. One of best ramen place in this city.
They have some real tasty ramen here! I went with their basic soy ramen with fatty bbq pork. The broth is rich and coats the firm noodles perfectly. It doesn't overpower with the salt so it highlights the pork and bok choy. All the toppings are simply there for texture (seaweed, scallions). Lastly, the pork melts in your mouth. It's soft, fatty, and flavourful. It actually isn't heavy to eat so you don't feel weighed down afterwards. Their takoyaki is also very good (tangy, sweet but still savoury).
Service is average but it's not the reason you go here. Besides, maybe it's better they don't bother you. That way, you can focus on chowing down.
Tried this place out the other day. The menus is sushi, ramen, udon, and a few other Japanese dishes. Tried the BBQ ramen and the seafood ramen, both are excellent. The restaurant has a collection chilled out vide going due to the music. There is parking on the south side of the building in the parking lot next to the Madison apartment. Akashi beer is 6 dollars for a small, and 11 for a large. I thought this to be reasonable priced. Green tea is 1.50 a person. They make awesome takoyaki!
