  This is one of my favourite ramen places in Calgary.
  
  I especially love the chilli goma and the pork buns and their cold rice matcha tea. Service is always quick and ramen portions are generous.
  
  It seems like some of the prior negative reviews were early on when this place was still working out some kinks, but they seem great to me!

  I came to Ookini Ramen with a friend upon recommendation from my co-worker. I'm always looking for new restaurants to check out, especially when it comes to ramen. I'm glad I can add Ookini Ramen to the list!
  Located in Mardi Loop, this restaurant was easy to find with a parking lot in the back. The restaurant is quaint and clean. Our server was very friendly and attentive.
  We started with an order of the char-siu buns. The bun itself was pillowy and soft which contrasted nicely against the flavours of the bbq pork, green onion, seaweed flakes and mayo. It was a very tasty appetizer.
  We both ordered the chilli goma. The broth was very flavourful with a nice touch of heat. The texture of the noodles were great. They were just the right level of firmness that held up with each mouthful. All of the ingredients in the bowl worked together beautifully - I especially enjoyed the bamboo shoots. It was very satisfying and a good-sized serving.
  I would definitely recommend Ookini Ramen. I know I will be back for sure!

  Today felt like a Ramen kinda day & since I saw some appetizing pics on Instagram about this place, I had to try it for myself!
  
  The place is easy to find and is located in a nice neighbourhood with plenty of parking.
  
  We got our table quickly & ordered our food
  The service was fast & we had a very polite friendly server :)
  
  We were starving so while we studied the menu, we ordered our appetizer and it arrived very promptly.
  
  I'm a sucker for simple menus & this definitely is one of those, plus it has pictures!!!
  
  The food was very generous & it really hit the spot!
  
  Will keep this place in mind next time I'm in mood for Ramen.

  The reason comfort is 3.5 is because if you are not on the sofa side of the table, you are basically sitting on a stool, so nothing to lean on :(

  I went here because I am a ramen obsessed person! My mom saw this place yesterday so we decided to check it out after work today. If I am not mistaken, this business is only a year old. Place is small but neatly designed.
  
  Service was prompt-- there's only one server but she approached us as soon as we walked in the door.
  
  As per the food, we ordered pork buns, Tonkotsu, and Miso. Pork buns here are actually cheaper than Jinya pork buns (maybe because Jinya is already an established ramen bar. Don't get me wrong, I really love Jinya Ramen Bar) . For Tonkotsu, its broth had a rich flavour and texture of noodles were great. For Miso, well I really don't like miso in the first place but theirs was good. Servings of ramen-- I can say that it could possibly be shared by 2 people.
  
  Since the place is along 33 Ave SW, you might think that it's hard to find a parking space. There's actually a parking lot behind it, so it's a plus!
