Could this be my final Calgary review???? Not if I can help it! Though I am relocating to Vancouver Island I think I have a couple more reviews in me before I go.
One of my going away lunches was today at The King and I with a co-worker and the food was amazing! They have a lunch special with a little bit of a few different things and that's what we both went for. There was satay chicken, a spring roll, coconut rice, some noodles with shrimp and pork and ginger beef with lots of veggies. That is A LOT of food for the price (around $14 I think) and it was fantastic. The spicy peanut sauce for the satay was delicious, the stuffing in the spring roll perfect and the veggies in the ginger beef cooked the perfect amount.
So with all this food praise why the 3 star rating you ask? One word.... Service! We arrived just before noon and were seated quickly. And we waited, and waited and waited until the server stopped by to see if she forgot our tea. When we said that we hadn't ordered any we didn't see her again for another 10 minutes. From the time we sat down it took 25 minutes to order and then another 20 to get our meal. As mentioned the food was fantastic, probably 4.5 or even 5 star. Slow and in-attentive service brought it down to an average rated restaurant. Too bad......
