THE STORY OF GORO + GUN

When it reached theatres, the Japanese film Tampopo (1985) 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. The passion those two characters showed for the art of noodle-making and lives on at Calgary’s spacious 150-seat noodle bar, Goro + Gun.

In the kitchen, six stock pots simmer with delicious broths. Tuck into a steaming bowl of Hakata-style ramen, made even better with an ajitama egg. Or depart from noodle fare with house specialties like the tuna poke or pork steam buns. Vegetarian and gluten free options abound, and the gyoza, sauces, and pastes are made in-house with fresh ingredients.
