| - Wow! I invited 18 guests for dinner for a party. Everyone was blown away by the generous portions of food, service and timing of food. We had a big mix of people - some had never tried Korean food and most have not tried Korean fusion. It's not easy to get 18 people to rave about the food but Roy did it!
Roy made a special menu for us: We ate Korean fried chicken wings w/ gochujang - the wings were massive and the coating was so crunchy , saucy and spicy. The tofu w/ sautéed kimchi and citrus aioli was another winner. Crispy morsels packed full of flavour. We turned one tofu hater guest into a lover - not an easy feat. The
Norway mackerel w/ wasabi soy and grilled lemon was grilled to perfection. I devoured everything but the eyeballs. I loved oysters on the half shell w/ kimchi mignonette - fresh and cold and just lovely. It's really such a treat to have excellent seafood in Calgary. The boys loved the whole roasted pork shoulder w/ lettuce, rice, condiments and sides. There was so much of it, the pork was tender and just beautifully done. After last night - this is my go to place for entertaining. Thanks again Roy for all your hard work, talent, and for reserving a whole room for us and letting us bring in our photographer to make the celebration even more memorable.
On another visit, six of us enjoyed $35 fixe price menu - which entailed plate after plate of mouth-watering food. Our favourites included: salmon tacos, oxtail pasta, shrimp with lettuce, agadashi tofu and kimchi and rice bowl with egg, and beef shortribs. I heard that the price has gone up to $40, but in my opinion, that's still the best deal in Calgary.
