It's about time a modern and happening Asian inspired restaurant opens up in Calgary....however, Two Penny has a ways to go when it comes to the food it is serving. We had the pork buns (average -- nothing special compared to good dim sum restaurants), the lobster/shrimp dumplings (pretty darned good), the seven spice seafood (again, average and nothing different than what you could get at a good Chinese joint, as well as a really awful sczechwan noodles (tastes like udon noodles were slathered in peanut butter, lime juice and soya sauce. Gross!).
Someone I spoke to referred to the place as "fake Chinese". I would concur! There hasn't been much effort to modernize or give traditional Chinese food dishes a lift, to match the very cool space. So if you're looking for a pretty place with average food, at a high price tag, this might be a good stop. If you're looking for great and innovative Asian food, I'd seriously take a pass!
