| - I'm partial to the cooked food at Anzu. The tonkatsu was thinly breaded and crispy, hot off the fryer. The chicken teriyaki was different - I like the sauce, which was light and subtle. Not that tacky generic stuff you can get out of a bottle (or on wings at your local pub). The chicken had this puffy, soft batter. While it doesn't sound appetizing, there was something pleasant about the texture (at least for me). I can see other people thinking it's too soggy but I think it might suppose to be soft.
The sushi and sashimi I sampled was fresh. I tried red tuna, salmon, white tuna, snapper and surf clam. The little side dishes were yummy.
Portions at lunch were generous. Price is actually on the low side for Calgary. Service was good. For those who want to be in the know... for every $10 you spend, you get a stamp. After 10 stamps, you get $5 off your meal.
I spied with my beady little eyes lots of unique deep-fried dishes. Take a look at the specials on the board. Also, the tempura here looks really good. Long pieces of shrimp, snow white batter, and again, the price of their tempura is below average in this city.
