What once was a hidden gem is now a local favourite. Shiki Menya is bumping - they serve up one of the best bowls of ramen in the city, so it’s no wonder there’s always a lineup out the door. They only make a certain amount of bowls a day, so make sure you go early to avoid the disappointment of “sold out for today.” Oh, and be sure to try their Chilli Goma - you will die and go to ramen heaven, scouts honour!

2. Jinya Ramen Bar

Jinya Ramen Bar is a classic - they have multiple locations around North American, and you can always expect to have a great bowl of ramen when you go in. Their ramen selection is quite extensive, with something for everyone’s tastes - their spicy Tonkotsu is fantastic! 

3. Pho Dau Bo

If you Google ‘best pho in Calgary,” Pho Dau Bo will definitely pop up multiple times. This local favourite serves up the creme de la creme of pho noodle soups with all the toppings. One thing that makes this place unique is the bone marrow that you can add to your soup - it’s delicious, so be sure to try it out!

4. Ramen Ichinen

If you’re on the hunt for a delicious ramen spot - look no further! Ramen Ichinen is hidden in North Calgary, so many Calgarians don’t know about it. But trust us, it’s worth the drive if you’re craving a hot bowl of noodles. They often sell out of soup before the end of the day, so make sure you go early!

5. Pho Hoai
