| - This restaurant is well known in Vancouver, but new to Calgary. When I arrived on a Wednesday night the place was rocking with club beats and quite a crowd. Probably the best way to describe it is a bar with a Japanese-Korean fusion food. As such, they are open from 5pm until 2am, but the full menu is not available until this late. The bulk of their business right now is the after-work 5pm crowd, or the late night folks looking for somewhere to hang out on late at night.
As already mentioned the food menu is small, but all of the items I tried were delicious. The food portions vary greatly by size and at the time of night we arrived (one hour before kitchen closed) a number of items on the menu were sold out or not available. Personally, I would rather a small menu well done than a giant menu of okay food.
I would have given it a higher rating but the service was spotty - and our server was really inexperienced. Unfortunately for her, she was serving a table of servers, so the gaps became quickly apparent. The spottiness was not just in not knowing the menu (e.g. she didn't know which three beers they have on tap), it also included forgotten orders, ordered food that was no longer available, missing cutlery and long gaps at the table waiting for her. We didn't mind too much because we weren't in a hurry, but I have to question the management's choice to put such an inexperienced server on the floor.
