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 on Stephen Avenue, 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.

    Goro & Gun used to be my lunch go to. I don’t eat fish so the Bento Box was an amazing choice. I was disappointed to see it is no longer available which limits the options for someone that can’t eat fish. There used to be a spicy peanut sauce which they also no longer make. The ramen is very good, but not my thing so I’m not sure if I’ll be back.

    Skip the beef tataki. Not very flavourful. The salmon and tuna sashimi is tasty but not filling. The various rolls had a strange aftertaste. We paid over $200 and still left somewhat hungry. Prices tend to be high and it takes quite a few dishes to get the equivalent amount of food for dinner.

    Horrible experience trying to book a reservation. Inconsistencies with Open Table and Google lead you to think Goro and Gun are capable of taking phone calls. Swing and a miss

    I normally love goro and gun but today sucked. The calamari which is normally my favourite was over cooked one piece was like rubber our server although lovely must have forgotten to ring in our sushi and it took about 40 mins to come after we ordered so we had to wolf it down and it wasn’t enjoyable …. They did comp our appies for the mistake and we will be back it was just unfortunate today

    I've been to Goro + Gun before and have enjoyed the food prior to the pandemic. This is the first time back in a long time. The overall experience is good, the service was excellent but the food wasn't as good as I remembered but then again that seems to be the common theme at many restaurants I post pandemic. Anyway, I tried the spicy lamb ramen and the broth was salty. The key to any ramen is the broth, if the broth is not good then the rest is not good. I should have stayed with either the Tonkotsu or spicy miso ramen.

    Goro and Gun used to be one of our favourite restaurants. Service was pretty slow even though the restaurant was half empty. Two orders of ramen were both overly salty, but sushi and appetizers were both good. I used to enjoy Goro and Gun a lot so I hope this is a temporary phase.
