| - Banzai became a popular location for myself and my work colleagues when I worked downtown. Conveniently situated only blocks from our office, we all pilled into this place on a few occasions. My fiance & I also enjoyed a few lunch dates here.
Asian restaurants like this are a dime a dozen in Calgary. Almost every mall, shopping centre, strip mall, or block has one. But comparing Banzai to any other places in Calgary isn't fair or accurate. Banzai is different for a few reasons.
First of all, the quality of food here is really good. We never had any issues with our order, nobody got sick, and the food always tasted great. Very important in my books, because I've had some pretty bad experiences with Asian restaurants. It's a bit more expensive than you'll find elsewhere, but is to be expected when you factor in their location and the size of the establishment.
The service is good as well, but not fantastic. Fairly typical of restaurants that serve this type of cuisine. The decor here is really nice though. It's very stylish and sexy (yeah, I have a rule about using sexy to describe anything that isn't a lady, but oh well). It's a pleasure to sit here and enjoy a meal and it's always kept clean. Two very important items for any location. So the next time you're looking for lunch, stop in to Banzai, you won't regret it!
