| - Given the mainly positive reviews of Anju here on Yelp, I came in with high expectations and was excited to try it.
Hits: chicken and pa-ffles, salmon tacos, kimchi fried rice, pork belly lettuce wraps, chicken wings. These were outstanding, offering great textures and flavour combinations. These guys know how to cook an egg--which is sourced locally as well. The chicken is apparently from Okotoks and comes out in the meatiness and quality. The chicken and pa-ffles comes with their signature hot sauce--so keep this in mind if you plan on also ordering their perfectly cooked chicken wings. We ended up getting the same sauce by accident (which was fine--it was delicious).
Misses: mussels, prawns, anchovies, beet salad, beef rice bowl -- they weren't necessarily bad, just overpriced in my opinion for protein content and such, especially compared to the items I listed above.
For six people with a few drinks, it came to $300 before tip, but we were full. Next time, I'll be trying the Wagyu beef and probably having more kimchi rice and salmon tacos. Service was very friendly. It started a bit slow but the pace quickly ramped up to a frenzy once plates arrived. Like any tapas place, you have to manually pace yourself. NOT easy with so many great dishes on the table.
