Nice springy noodles! Good menu options & friendly service. Broth is ok, but needs more flavour depth & the veggies could use some work (3.5/5)…

I would recommend this place for they delicious curry udon, tempura udon, grilled eel don. Curry broth is rich if you prefer, tempura was crispy and not oily, big pieces of delicious grilled eel and comes with miso soup. Beef udon was a bit too sweet to me. But if you are a big eater, get ready that udon noodle portion is quite small. I liked seaweed salad, too. Spinach salad was a bit too salty as they put too much topping seasoning in my opinion. Home made sesame cheese cake is smooth and suits Asian peoples taste as its not as sweet as western desert. For ramen, I still prefer Muku, better broth, slightly better noodle texture.
Menyatai has been in Calgary for a while now. I’ve driven by this restaurant ages ago and they used to have long line ups in the morning. For me, I’ll usually wait until the line ups die down. I tried this place for the first time today and although there wasn’t a line up outside it still seemed busy inside. If you don’t know me I’m a fan of spice so I had to try the Egoma Ramen (level of hotness 2 chilli peppers). The ramen had a nice presentation with half an egg, noodles, piece of pork with a seaweed on top (good presentation). As I used my chopsticks to pick up the noodles they were covered in chilli flakes. The flavors however were lacking in taste (broth was not good and tasted clammy) and meat to noodle ratio is off (1 piece of pork). On the brightside the noodles were good and tasted like egg noodles. I mean if this was egg noodle soup it would be perfect. Ramen dishes here are $12 – $14 a bowl. I was a bit disappointed after eating here I guess I’ll stick to instant noodles.
one of my personal favorites in Calgary, the chashu here is more fatty ,much like pork belly. Although as default you only get one piece of chashu,its quite big in comparison to some other places. The tonkotsu is rich,milky and flavourful. I find the spicy tonkotsu the best. The egg isn’t marinated ,and not soft boiled most of the times ,but I prefer the broth at menyatai over other ramen places. Their chashu don is really good too !
The ramen here is delicious. I particularly love the curry ramen – it is fairly mild, but so flavourful. There is plenty of variety to the toppings (corn, bamboo, etc) and the pork slices tend to be smaller than at some other ramen places, but the ramen is very well balanced. If you’re a big eater, order extra pork.
This little spot in Kensington reminds me exactly of when I went to Tokyo, Japan. From the bowls you’re food is served in to the soft Japanese music playing in the background. Menyati serves a small but simple menu to please anyone who walks in. There main dishes consist of a variety of udon, ramen, and donburi. I ordered the beef udon and my bf ordered the chicken teriyaki don (comes with miso soup), and the serving we’re enough for you to finish and feel full. The large windows and natural light gives a more open concept and a calm and relaxing environment to the small restaurant. The staff were very kind and polite, always available to serve us or answer a question we had. The restaurant was also very clean and food was well priced for the portion and quality.I recommend this place for:Food, price, atmosphere, and service
Came with here on a cold wintry day for lunch. Been trying a new ramen place once a week. Location is right in Kensington with plenty of street parking. The interior is nice and bright. Not too busy at noon but started to get busy around 1230p, We were seated promptly.Pretty good menu for ramen. Kids shared their usual Tonkotsu Ramen. I had Spicy Tonkotsu ramen. Ramen broth was flavourful but the noodles were not quite al dente – it was good but we’ve had better. Good portions and boiled egg was perfect. Had bean sprouts, wood ear, and corn. Very filling and I did not finish mine and had to pack home. Also tried the fried oysters – not bad.Staff is very helpful and friendly. Food came out quite quickly which is great when you have young hungry kids.Will probably come back but not after trying some other places. You can’t give half stars but if you could I’d give it 3.5 (not quite 4 but not 3 either).
I had a chance to visit Menyatai multiple times and honestly I can say say it has one of the best Ramen and service in Calgary. The food was always excellent every time I have been and the service was very friendly yet very efficient. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone! Its a great place for a date night or even a casual night with your friends!
