| - Is there anything more annoying than discovering that you lived right beside an amazing restaurant for the last year and didn't even know it?
I actually have to thank Yelp for this one because we were looking for a vegetarian option in Kensington and didn't want to eat at Calgary's usual veggie-dish suspects (Gratitude Cafe, The Coup).
But because I love, love, love my meat, it was becoming difficult to decide. We agreed that Vietnamese would be a great compromise and so we looked it up on Yelp and found Ginger Delight, which is approximately a four minute walk from my house.
I went with a native Calgarian and she said she had lost track of how many times her and her family had gone to Ginger Delight. She'd always loved it and today was no different.
We were initially shocked because the restaurant was empty when we came in. Luckily a guy on a date with his blackberry soon walked in, so it didn't feel as awkward.
The food was absolutely great and because it was vietnamese, it was also a great value! I got a huge bowl of rice vermicelli for $8.95 and my friend got the vegetarian special with tofo in the shape of shrimp (!) for $8.50.
Service was quick, efficient and almost non-existent, just the way I like it!
Before we knew it, our dinner was done and we were completely satisfied, what more could you want. Ginger Delight has easily become one of my favorites in Kensington!
