• Japanese • Downtown

Booked 19 times today

The Japanese film Tampopo was marketed as the world’s first “ramen western”. It’s the story of two truck drivers, Goro & Gun, who use their culinary expertise to change the fate of a struggling noodle shop. Those two characters' passion for noodle-making lives on at Calgary’s 150-seat noodle bar — led by executive chef Ryusuke Araki. Located inside Stephen Avenue Place, upstairs on the Plus 15 level, the restaurant melds modern art graphics with distinctive hardwood and right angles of Japanese decor. Tuck into a steaming bowl of ramen with our house-made noodles, made even better with an aji-tama egg. Or depart from noodle fare with house specialities like tuna poke or pork steam buns. Our menu boasts a variety of vegetarian, gluten, and dairy-free options. Whenever possible, dishes are prepared using wild fish instead of farmed. Complete your meal with one of 25 sakes from Goro & Gun’s curated selection from our Sake Sommelier, Amanda Jansen.

we had a table outside, which was very nice, a little noisy with the cars, but the ambiance was great. Service was top-notch and food was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at the Oxbow.

An excellent experience from start to finish. The food was fantastic, the service attentive, and the price far more manageable than any other high tea experience in the city. 100% would recommend!
