Ramen Arashi is thrilled to announce our expansion to Langford!  We're bringing authentic Japanese ramen—the kind enjoyed by families and workers across Japan—to a new community. Forget trendy twists; we're focused on the simple, satisfying, and affordable bowl of ramen that's been a comfort food staple for generations.  Our Langford location will offer the same high-quality, quick-service experience that has made us a favorite elsewhere.

As the first and only dedicated ramen shop in the area, Ramen Arashi Langford will provide a much-anticipated local destination for ramen lovers, athletes, families, and food enthusiasts alike.

In the New York Times article "36 Hours in Banff," Ramen Arashi is highlighted as a must-visit dining spot. The article praises the restaurant for its authentic Japanese ramen, particularly recommending the spicy miso ramen for its rich broth and tender noodles. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service are also noted, making it a perfect spot to warm up after a day of exploring Banff's natural beauty.

Ramen Arashi was recently featured on a very popular youtube channel, Abroad in Japan

Introduced as "Victoria’s best-rated ramen shop on Google". The hosts are excited to try our ramen, comparing it to their experiences in Japan. 

A new fifth location for Ramen Arashi is coming to Calgary, Alberta. The location will be near the downtown core, making for another busy restaurant delivering delicious ramen to our friends in Calgary. 

At Ramen Arashi, Tan Tan Ramen is a delightful blend of rich, creamy broth and a spicy kick that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy. This popular dish takes its inspiration from the traditional Sichuan Dan Dan Noodles but is uniquely adapted to suit the essence of Japanese ramen.

A good bowl of ramen typically has a few key features: broth, noodles, toppings, seasoning and presentation. In addition, it's important to note that different regions of Japan have their own variations of ramen. For instance, Sapporo (on the northern island of Hokkaido) is famous for its miso-based ramen, while on the southernmost island of Kyushu, tonkotsu (pork bone) ramen is popular.

The origins of Japanese ramen can be traced back to China. The dish itself is believed to have originated from Chinese wheat noodles, which were brought to Japan during the late 19th and early 20th centuries
