We had a really lovely meal here! The udon was delicious and they make their noodles fresh every day. The yam tempura had a nice light batter and was yummy dipped in the udon broth. They were extremely receptive to my shrimp allergy and the staff was overall super nice. Would recommend! The vibe is awesome!

Food is very good here.
A personal favourite is the scallop hand roll. Also had the curry udon and that was wonderful as well. The tuna tartare is a hit or miss sometimes - I've gotten it over salted and just perfect, so I guess depends on the chef.
Happy hour always has good prices.
Service could use a little work when it gets busy. Your table goes unnoticed for a good 20+ minutes even with 5 different workers walking by you every two minutes. Takes them a long time to get to you when you ask for assistance.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - May 15, 2024
we made reservations through open table and headed over to lonely mouth just in time for their happy hour. lonely mouth is on the list of canada's 100 best restaurants in 2023. it's located at 528 17th ave sw, smack dab in the heart of calgary's bustling 17th ave restaurant scene. it's this cool mix of a trendy cocktail bar and japanese small bites.
we got a cozy table on their covered patio and were welcomed with a hot steamed hand towel. we couldn't resist the half price drinks and went for the sexy robot, a fun mix of gin, creme de cacao, raspberry, cardamom, lemon, and egg white. it was sweet, tart, and easy to drink.
for food, we dove into some hand rolls--negi toro with tokyo negi, tuna belly, and alberta beef with black garlic, crispy garlic, and scallion. then came the salmon, hamachi, and scallop sashimi, each served as two small pieces and a couple of house-made soy sauces: one dark, one light and citrusy.
we enjoyed the agedashi tofu with shimeji mushrooms, tentsuyu, ginger, and scallions, and the bluefin tuna tartare with tuna, avocado, miso emulsion, and udon crackers. they nailed the texture on both. the kake udon, on the other hand, made with fresh udon, dashi, scallion, togarashi, and yuzu, didn't quite hit the spot--the thick udon noodles felt heavy in the stomach.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Oct 11, 2023
I can't resist freshly made noodles. We traveled to Calgary last month and found that Lonely Mouth Bar has freshly made udon during happy hours, where the udon is half-price and a hand roll is $4. Of course, we must give it a try. The ambiance was amazing and made me feel like I was in Japan.
We ordered two udon and hand rolls. The hand roll didn't quite meet our expectations and was a bit small, but their house soy sauce was delicious and not too salty. We ordered the shaved beef and shredded chicken udon. They were top-notch. The udon was fantastic, chewy, fresh and served with flavorful broth. We finished everything, including the broth. The portions were generous. However, the happy hour promotion was only for plain udon $8 and the meat was the regular price. It was actually a bit pricey without the happy hour promotion.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 3, 2024
This place has a very good Happy Hour menu. Their udon noodles during their happy hour is a great price and the noodles are delicious. I've been here twice but only during their Happy Hour so I cannot comment on the rest of the menu. Service is great. Will come back to try their regular menu someday.

Delicious Asian inspired/ fusion dishes. Beautiful boho interior design with nice wood elements. Cocktails, as expected, are pricier ~$15.

Pricey..... but worth it! Treated myself to dinner this Friday and saw that Lonely Mouth had a last minute reso spot on OpenTable.
Ambience is great. Feels like a proper Japanese inspired restaurant. Staff and servers were all attentive and friendly.
Food was solid!! Udon noodles are a must! My favorite dish I had tonight. Server told me that the noodles are made fresh each morning. Broth was also delicious. I also got a spicy salmon and crab hand rolls which are the only dishes designed to feed 1. Otherwise most of the dishes are traditionally shared. The shrimp tempura was fresh and crisp. And finally the roasted cauliflower was just okay to me - but everything else was delicious!!!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jillian A.Calgary, Canada01May 9, 2024
Absolutely awful service. We had a reservation and were asked to leave when guests at our table were still eating their dinner. It was unbelievable.

I did not have high expectations! It was a really beautiful restaurant with amazing customer service. The hand sushi roll was so good. The seaweed had perfect flavour. The curry beef udon is amazing. I was nervous trying a curry in a Japanese soup. But it was so good with a very soft beef brisket that did not get stuck in my teeth. A soft runny egg was a perfect top off. The Udon was perfect softness. The cod was soft and perfectly flavored. Buttery. I strongly recommend these dishes and you must come and try this amazing experience.

The food was delicious but the service was incredibly disappointing. despite making multiple rounds of orders my table of 5 was effectively kicked out of the restaurant. I understand need to manage reservations to the best of their ability to maximize seatings but the way we were dealt with was so off putting. I won't go back. There were multiple solutions the restaurant could have offered to accommodate us but they did not. An overall bad experience and I can't recommend.
