Although I don't live near Banzai anymore, so I only tend to visit a few times a year, I love the food & if I'm in the area around meal time I'll make sure to carve out some time to visit.

I usually do take-out (it's been years since I dined in). They…More »

I adore Misato - having lived in Vancouver for 4 years, I appreciate good sushi and it's hard to find in Calgary.

Granted, my sushi picks usually tend towards the "safer" stuff ;)

The service is always great, and the restaurant has just the right…More »

I always love going to the Oriental Phoenix. I don't work far away, so it's a go-to place for business lunches & going away parties.

The food is great - although I usually order the same thing because I know I love it (stirfried lemongrass chicken).

I…More »

(I'm hoping this is the location in The Core shopping centre!)

Just started going here again in Calgary. I loved Thai Express when I was living in Montreal. Even at lunch, this location is fast, they keep the line moving, and I love all the options.…More »

Category: Vietnamese

4.0 star rating
  11/9/2011

Had a good visit here - I had the lemongrass chicken on rice (#40) and it was delicious. I haven't tried out a whole host of Vietnamese restaurants so I'm no expert, but definitely worthy of having again.

Despite arriving less than an hour before…More »

3.0 star rating
  10/1/2011

As far as suchi in Calgary goes, Amici isn't half bad. I very much enjoy the sushi here - it isn't perfect, but for the price it's definitely worth a visit. I've never eaten in, always take-out, but they're very nice and offer me tea/water while I'm…More »

I was expecting AMAZING after reading the reviews, but ended up getting AVERAGE.

We wanted pho so did a search on Yelp for great places and came up with this one. After finally finding a parking spot, we walked down 6th Ave and were a little worried…More »

Category: Japanese

3.0 star rating
  10/3/2011

I bought a $40 for $20 Dealfind coupon for Fuji Yama towards the beginning of the year and finally decided to cash it in. The benefit of the coupon was that I felt like I could try things I hadn't before without feeling like I'd wasted too much money…More »

I was heading home, debating what to do for dinner when I walked by Wok Box and decided to give it a try. The interior is cute and I really liked the big menus up on the wall - made it easy to make my choice. The staff was very friendly & didn't…More »

Midori is a great place for sushi in Calgary. It's hard to find somewhere with decent sushi without paying an arm and a leg but Midori is one of the best I've found so far. I really like the "crunch" rolls (although the tempura bits cannot be good…More »

Kinjo was definitely a fun experience - different than any other I've had at a sushi restaurant in Calgary thus far.

We headed out on a Thursday night, yet it was still pretty busy. However, if you don't request to sit at a table, they can usually…More »

I love rose flavoured bubble tea and it's very difficult to find. I got hooked in Vancouver and struggled to find it in Calgary. Glad to have happened upon Pearl House!

The prices are great for the size you get. They have quite the menu (although…More »

Having finished a morning seminar, we were looking for a quick place to grab lunch. Apparently Saturday around noon is very busy in the area, so finding parking was a bit problematic, tow truck trolling the streets and all.

We were seated quickly; the…More »
