10 Reviews on “Muku Japanese Ramen”
this is place is so addictive , delicious comfort food , hot spicy soups, i recommend to try pickled eggs on your soup , my fav place in town , good service , clean place
Fan-friggin-tastic! A cold and snowy Friday morning brightened up by a bowl of rich broth and killer noodles. The Kanban (tonkotsu broth) was bold, deep and beautifully fatty with slightly spicy ground pork on top and a pop of cabbage. The Kuro-Ton was dark, nutty and full of robust charred garlic. My only criticism is that the slices of pork are super thin…like a slice of deli meat. I will definitely skip them next time. The service was friendly and good enough for my expectations but its the quality of the ramen that will keep me coming back.
This is the best ramen place in town. Great service. Lots of parking. Great price and selection. I can usually find a seat during non-rush hours.
Along 14st sits Muku, a small staircase will lead you up to a tiny narrow restaurant with limited seatings and limited bowls. Squished to the brim with as much tables as they could have possibly fit, with some bar stools along the counter to look into the kitchen where the magic happens. Shiki is hands down my favorite spot in Calgary for Ramen, but for authenticity- Muku seems to be riding on that line. Tonkotsu – ($9.60) – Tonkotsu Chasu Wonton – ($13.60) – As the bowls arrived you can see that it had a top layer of fat that was already starting to become a film, good sign that its full of pork fat which means A TON of flavor. Which you can honestly taste, its full bodied and not overly salty. The noodles had a bouncy snap to each bite which is ideally what youd want in your ramen bowl. Chasu pieces were generous and they were ridiculously tender as well. Bae had the bowl with wontons in it, he quite enjoyed how big and filling the pieces of wontons were! Only complaint would be that the bowls dont come with soft boiled eggs. Aside from that, the prices are so worth the amount of food that comes with it, bowls were delicious and service was fast and friendly. Id recommend coming here, but get here either before prime rush or take your luck for after, the front entrance is quite tiny and awkward to be waiting around for a seat!
Came here for lunch on a Sunday. Parking is bad here with limited and tight spaces – especially bad in winter. There was about a 13 minute wait for a table – quite a popular spot for lunch and the place is not very big.Menu has got lots of good options for Ramen with the usual add-ons like egg and fish paste. I got the spicy tonkotsu – it’s just your regular ramen with a generous dollop of spice; broth had good flavour and the noodles were al dente. Kids had the regular tonkotsu and they slurped it up. Wife had the Tonkotsu with Wonton – wontons were small and not worth the extra cost which was an extra $4 for 4 wontons.All in all not a bad place on a cold wintry day. Will definitely come back but not before trying some other ramen places.
Price wise this place is great. With add ons it would equate to similar type restaurants. I have started to frequent here because the service is good and the ramen is decent.
Disappointing. After reading other reviews, I was expecting to have my socks knocked off, but I found the noodles were soggy and the broth was bland and greasy. The portion was also smaller than the other ramen places in Kensington. The pork was lackluster and chewy, although the char was nice! It’s a good place to go if you want a budget bowl of ramen. If you have extra money to spend, I would recommend Menyatai or Ikemen over Muku.
