Review Carino - Calgary

Victor Truong

The ramen is really good. The different kinds of soup actually taste different and they use different noodles for each kind of soup too! The give a large chunk of char sui as well. I'd say it's the second best ramen in town after Shiki Menya.

4.5 stars, the ramen is great. They have varying thicknesses depending on the soup base and ingredient combination. The portions are definitely small and you're not getting a lot of food for your money, but what you do get are bold flavours and quality. The alternative dishes seem to be pretty good too, but have not had a chance to try those.

I was here with a group of 6 people. We all ordered Ramen and a few appetizers. I haven't had Italian and Japanese fusion before which actually works really well. All the food was good. When we were there, there was only one other table of two which left while we were still on our appetizers. Although we were the only ones in the restaurant, the food came out very slowly. I wouldn't recommend this place if you have somewhere to be after your meal.

A hearty ramen "house" with a surprisingly varied menu. Warm server experience, the chef even came out to discuss food options and variations. The deserts are excellent and sized small so you can enjoy without the guilt :)

The food here was absolutely fantastic. We had the Kabocha Gnocchi to start, and it was really well done. Great gnocchi in a really good, slightly spicy, sauce. I had the Yuku Soy Chicken Cutlets and my girlfriend had the Lamb Rib Cacciatore. Both were incredible. Highly recommended.

Service was terrible. We sat for over an HOUR before we got our food. Felt like 10 minutes before the server even came to take our order after we had put the menu's down. It wasn't busy at all. There were two other tables of two who both arrived and ordered later than my friend and I. Both were served food before us. One of the tables was finished eating by the time we got our food. Should have walked out as the food was pretty good, but not worth the wait. Received an apology with no explanation. Gave two stars because the ramen was fairly tasty. Otherwise it would be one. Will not be back.

We visited Carino during the soft launch of their new venture, JJ's Ramen. The server was awesome and snuck us in right at the lunch closing time of 2:30pm. The ramen was the best I've had in Calgary - and we have sampled a number. The flavours between the two soups we tried were distinctive, unique and just really, really tasty. I can't wait to go back and love having it in the hood.

The service was exceptional and friendly. This Italian and Japanese fusion restaurant has a menu full of enticing options. Out of the three starters and mains we shared, I did enjoy the pure Japanese offerings a little more, but saying this, the "duck, duck, duck" was fantastic. It's a small place with a modern designed interior.
