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 chefs Ryusuke Araki & Tomo Mitsuno. 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 Amanda Jansen.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Goro + Gun offers an "absolutely phenomenal experience" with fresh, delicious food and a vibrant Japanese atmosphere. The ramen, in particular, is a highlight, and "great servers" enhance the dining experience. While the sushi might be challenging, the extensive sake list and "insane happy hour prices" make it a downtown favorite.

Great value for the food and service. The Sushi and Ramen were really good! The teriyaki chicken was the only let down. The fried chicken was too heavy for the sauce. The service was so amazing, we enjoyed recommendations for food and her mixed drinks were as well. Thank you
