  • We came to Calgary for my birthday and I wanted to try this place so badly after hearing about them on Twitter. I think the ideas are good, but the execution just didn't do it for me. The space itself is pretty and the staff were friendly. We were seated in the dining room (the lounge side seems a bit more casual, but they both share the same menu) and we had a direct view of the kitchen from our table. Starting off, I had the bourbon Vietnamese coffee, and let me tell you - it was delicious. Pricy, but this is a fancier Asian restaurant, after all. I was curious to see how they took simple, homestyle dishes that I grew up on and elevated them to "fine dining" - let's be clear here. This is not a typical inexpensive Asian restaurant so it is definitely pricier than say, going to Chinatown. Which we expected. But with the caveat that if you're going to be charging that much, I want it to be elevated - I want to taste why you're charging me 2-3x more for something that I can get at an "authentic" place for bigger portions and less money. We tried the beef tataki (tasty - you could taste that it was a good quality beef they used, but the sauce it was in could have used more flavour) followed by the bulgogi imperial rolls (crispy fried spring rolls that was in dire need of salt or other flavour with lettuce and daikon kimchi to make your own wraps. Texturally, I liked these, but it was so very very bland.) For our mains we did the fisherman's stew (again, lots of fresh tasting ingredients, but no flavour anywhere. There was also two pieces of Chinese doughnut that was blackened with squid ink - which, surprise surprise, also had no flavour) and the ling cod claypot (this was pretty good, but I'm also in love with ling cod - it was cooked very well and there was a decent sized piece of fish in the pot alongside peppers and rice cakes. The rice cakes were a really weird edition to it - this is definitely not something I'm used to in Vietnamese food - maybe Korean - but it didn't compliment the dish in any way) I think it's ok - it's not amazing, and it's not terrible, but I wanted it to be so much more.
