I wanted to really enjoy Foreign Concept and waited for weeks before going, but found it not that unique and expensive for what you get. Being Vietnamese myself, didn't find the descriptions for the Vietnamese inspired dishes accurate... We ordered a couple of small plates and a couple of big plates to share. Was expecting more flavour from the yuzu cured salmon fresh rolls but was not bad. Miso sweet potato poutine was a bit better but was missing something to round out the dish. The char shiu pork and foie gras steamed buns were pretty good and the best part of the meal. Recommend these for sure if going to the restaurant. We also ordered the trout - the fish itself was done well (not cha ca per the menu?) but the rice noodles they came with were lacking in seasoning and were oily. We were thrown off by the persimmon chutney on the trout as it didn't jive with the other components in the dish...
Presentation was beautiful for all dishes. The restaurant was nicely decorated and had a good atmosphere. Service was great throughout and short wait times for food and drinks. I had the sweet temper cocktail (was average) and royal Jamaican ginger beer (delicious!).
Overall wasn't blown away but it was good.
