| - This review is a long time coming. Anju, you're the nice guy, the Kevin Arnold of great restaurant dining experiences. Compared to other places that stomp with gusto and strain themselves with overwhelming decor and overdone menus to justify the high dollars, your charm is easily overlooked. I'm glad that within the last two months, we reunited.
I remembered the first time I visited you years ago, I ordered your stone bowl and resolved that this was the next big thing in Calgary, but since I haven't found any restaurants the served it the way you did.
The second time was for an elite event, where I met you humble and shy chef and had a chance to converse with your pretty waitresses and learned that this was a great place to work at
The third time. Wow, was I won over. I feel like that lofty headed Winnie who finally decided to give Kevin what the poor guy was chasing after all those years.
Anyways, my last visit was for a farewell party. I didn't deal with them directly, but Sabz found that they were very engaging and accommodating to our groups large demand. We came to an agreement that a $35 per person tasting meal would suffice. I was a bit skeptical (I wasn't, I'm saying this to add dramatic effect to this review) but come dinner time, we had the most amazing experiences ever! Our server was very friendly and ensured our shot glasses were full of Soju and was the most natural conversationalist, it was as if we were over his house for a dinner party. The kitchen didn't disappoint with our meal and brought out the most delicious dishes, tasty and adventurous enough to liven up the conversation of the table. They were also great enough to arrange a special experience for our vegan diners.
Overall Anju is one of those places I couldn't' stop raving about not just because of their food, but for the overall experience they provide.
