5 Senses

Had been eying this place for a while before finally going in. The interior is super cool; they have a graffiti mural that wraps every wall, as well as screens on the ceiling that showcase the inside of an aquarium. It’s got that grungy hole in the wall place vibe that I love! Our server was super nice and chill too. However, mixed reviews on the food. My friend and I got different starters - the edamame and japa fries respectively - and we both enjoyed them. I especially liked the japa fries, the sauce and seasoning were perfect. Our mains were a different story. I feel like I’m pretty easy to please with poke bowls since I’m obsessed with salmon and tuna, but even those couldn’t save the dish. It was very bitter and tasteless at the same time somehow? I can’t quite explain it. I tried to finish but ended up giving up and just eating my pieces of tuna and salmon (which by the way were tiny portions). My friend didn’t enjoy her ramen either; she said the broth was tasteless and the elements in her noodles were barely memorable. We probably won’t be back but at least we satisfied our curiosity by finally coming in 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hello! Have some food adventure and try this… Hawaii-Five-O Poke Bowl -a just right spicy tuna, seaweed, fresh avocado and sweet pineapple chunks to give it a sweet balance taste poke bowl - deliciously prepared! - and the service is amazing - a small ramen place with a street style vibe tucked in the middle of the vibrant 17th Ave SW scene. a joint you’d expect to only find in NYC besides Tokyo. - they also follow strict Covid check protocol- clean and tables are spaced

Ramen is mediocre. Got both of their recommendations Japa/JFC and Tonkotsu: small potions. 1/2 egg not even a full one. Broth flavour decent. Tonkotsu pork was cut as thin as sandwich meat. There are way better ramen joints all over Calgary. Worst dynamite roll ever created. Should have put “destructed” in the name. It was basically 4 cucumber rolls with a crispy shrimp on top. I have had better at airports and grocery stores: what a joke. Quality doesn’t match prices. Will never go back for these items and huge disappointment from reviews. Hope this review helps them improve their quality of food.
