  • I first ate at Anju when it occupied a house on 10 St. SW. I thought the food was good and probably would have given it a 4-star based on what I had tasted but this time the food was spectacular. The new Anju is located in the place that once was one of my favourite Italian restaurants (Il Giardiano) until owner Mike Ciccaglione decided it was time to move on. It's right on the corner of 4th and 17th Ave SW. The place is noisy and just hums with energy. Anju classifies itself as Korean Tapas but there are what they term Large Format items such as Whole Market Fish, Braised Short Ribs and Bo Ssam. These range from market price for the fish to $45-$250. $250 you say???? Well that's for the Bo Ssam which is slow roasted pork shoulder but it feeds up to 8 people and requires 48 hours' notice. The Bo Ssam is what I'm here for. We each order a tapas dish to tide us over till the main course. I ordered a side of Grilled Asian Eggplant. I loved the eggplant, subtly seasoned with soy, gochugaru and rice vinegar. The Honey Garlic Anchovies had what I call the "peanut chips allure" to them, you couldn't stop at one taste, you had to keep eating till the bowl was empty. The pork is pull-apart tender and served with rice, lettuce and condiments. It's finger food as you make up a wrap with the lettuce and stuff it with rice, pork and condiments. There is no elegant way to eat this; dig in and enjoy! The pork is flavourful and the different condiments makes it seem like you are having 3-4 dishes as you experiment with the different sauces and combinations. The special dessert of the day was a pound cake served with persimmon slices and crème fraiche, the cake was lightly toasted but still moist on the inside, absolutely delicious! Korean food can have very strong flavours but what I like about Anju is that the flavours are subtle and well matched. It's not a cheap place to eat but worth the price. You can look at spending anywhere from $35-60 per person without drinks easily. Service was efficient and friendly. In case you're wondering how the bill works out for the Bo Ssam, the restaurant charges you for 1/8 and then tags on anything you ordered for yourself. Works out great for groups as no one has to figure who owes what.
