I would have rated 4.5 if I could based on the shrimp Okonomiyaki I ordered, a kind of Japanese pizza. It was enough for me as I am not a big eater. It was recommended in other people’s comments :) and it was nicely done and very tasty! I was also happy to get to know a new Japanese dish. Sea food udon soup has many different sea foods inside and vegetables, for people who like noodle soup, it is a good choice, too. The owners are a senior Japanese couple, who also cook and serve the food. I assume you can have authentic home made food here :)
This is a really charming mom and pop place that I regularly come to because I love the atmosphere. The restaurant is owned by an elderly Japanese couple and you get the feeling that you are eating a home cooked meal in their kitchen when you come here. The sushi and sashimi are just average but I would really reccomend their hot dishes. I always get their shrimp okonomiyaki which is excellent. The katsu curry dishes and nabeyaki udon are also really great.
I only just recently noticed this place. Walking in, it felt like a fairly typical mom and pop shop. Nothing fancy, pretty basic. The folks whom I presume to be the proprietors were very nice. It was cold out so I opted for udon. I picked the nabeyaki udon mostly cos I was wanting some vegetable content. I also ordered a negi toro roll. The udon was ginormous. It came out in a clay pit and as I dug into it I discovered all sorts of treasures beneath the surface. Clams, mussels, squid, octopus, shiitake mushrooms, kombu, egg, enoki mushrooms, shrimp, spinach, it was chock full of good stuff. Well worth the price tag. The food reminded me a lot of home cooking. Comfort food if you will. I definitely enjoyed my visit and would happily go back.
Super cute family business! The food was delicious, and it came within a reasonable time. The service was great; the chef came out to ask us what we thought of the food. Will definitely come back!
What an awesome little mom and pop shop. It's so nice to support local business. Their menu was extensive and the prices were reasonable. The lady who took our order was super friendly I think she was the owner since it looked like it was a family restaurant where the wife manages the front and the husband is the cook. Food came out fast and we enjoyed everything. We got an order of beef taki udon and it came out on a sizzling plate. It was delicious and flavorful. The BC roll was super crunchy with salmon skin and unagi sauce. When we went up to pay we looked into the kitchen and was surprised to see a regular stove that you see at home. I was really impressed with this place and think this will become our regular spot from now on.
Japanese Noodle House is probably the most generic name you can think of but don’t let that fool you. It’s a mom and pop shop run by a humble, kind family. The inside is cute and quaint. It can probably fit about 25 people or so inside. Their specials for the day. That cold ramen was tempting. We also didn’t realize that the “R” stood for rolls. Oops.
EXCELLENT VALUE! Their beef tataki is BY FAR the best in Calagary. They do a pretty good marinade of sour, spicy and zing. The spinach is a nice twist and only $9.99! Other food is average but their prices are really LOW!
One of my favourite places to go in Calgary. The chirashidon, chicken udon, Zaria soba, and beef tataki is imo the best in Calgary. I know the other ratings are lower for this place but try these items and you will not be disappointed.
This little mom and pop restaurant is truly a hidden gem. The ambiance is like your childhood Asian friend's kitchen in 1985. But the food makes up for it. The staff is smiley and friendly and the food very prompt.
We ordered the spicy ramen, one with soy broth and the other with miso broth. They were both delightful, which one you choose will really depend on your mom and hankering for umami. The bowl was the perfect size and abundant in noodles (my favourite part). The broth was just the perfect amount of spicy, the kind that tingles but doesn't make you cough or sweat and subsides soon after you eat and doesn't burn when you drink hot tea. The level of spice was fully approved by Gour.mand.
We will go back and try the sushi next time!
One of my favorite mom and pop shops in Calgary. I have been going here for years and I have nothing bad to say. The sushi is always fresh and the soups are very delish. Chicken Katsu is super yummy.
