  • I used to be a big fan of Don Day. I always told anyone who wanted to have good authentic Corean in Calgary, to go to Don Day over any of the usual Corean BBQ suspects (Koreana, Seoul BBQ, Bow Bulgogi, Korean Village). Instead of trying to be everything for everyone, Don Day is more of a tavern for folks who want to drink soju, get loud while eating pork intestine and have some stew. You will likely smell of the food when you leave and I dig it like that. Perfect conditions for a cold night in Calgary. They were best known for Gamja Tang - (), which for the uninitiated, is a hearty potato pork bone soup. I say that in the past tense, because in my most recent trip to Don Day it was pretty lacking and downright atrocious. The Gamja Tang lacked the most basic ingredient: potato! For non Coreans, Gamja () means potato. I asked the waitress, where's the potato? She replied, "sorry, we don't serve with potato anymore." What? You can't be serious. How can you serve Gamjatang, without the Gamja? She just shrugged and walked to another table acting like I never asked the question. So we proceeded to eat the only thing that was served with the broth: the pork bones. Now if you've had gamjatang, you'll know that the meat should tender to the point that it falls off the bone - otherwise tough meat on bones is extremely difficult to eat. Well guess what? It was tough. So tough that we literally had to leave the meat to simmer in the broth for an extra 15 minutes before we had to pick up each bone and eat with our hands. Even then after sacrificing most of the broth to simmering, the meat was so tough that it wouldn't come off using chopsticks or the spoon. Despite using the messy hands and cheeks technique, so much meat was wasted left on the bone because it was simply unreachable and uneatable. We also noticed while gnawing away that the staff was wheeling in boxes of potatoes. HELLO. NOTHING ELSE ON THE MENU USES POTATO EXCEPT GAMJATANG. WTF. If you've run out of an ingredient, you should at least let your customer know so they can choose to either order something else or at least know what will be missing in the dish they ordered. Don't pretend like you just don't serve Gamja in Gamjatang "anymore" and then wheel in a shipment of potato... You're liable to lose a customer and have them write a bad review. Oops, too late. Oh and the bathrooms can be simply described as sticky and wet floors with dust caked ceiling vents. I honestly didn't care about that before but might as well go full disclosure with this review. There's lots of Coreans in Calgary now. Why is it so hard to find decent Corean joints in Calgary?
