Do not come to Downtownfood at lunch without a reservation. It will be impossible to find a seat. Partly because this area of Downtown Calgary lacks good lunch spots at reasonable prices, partly because of the stir Downtownfood has caused since they opened.
My problem with Downtownfood is that the food is not particularly Chinese, Japanese or even Western for that matter. It's a jumbled mess of fusion that is refreshing to some but sad to others. I'm of the latter camp.
The menu lacks cohesion. Or perhaps it is cohesively fusion.
Do come for dinner, reservation strongly recommended.
