Wayo recently took over the location of our previous favourite Korean restaurant – Sura. Wayo has an updated interior with burners built in to each table and HVAC (which is helpful when dining infront of your bbq!). Bibimbap -a hot stone bowl full of neatly arranged veggies & bbq beef over a bed of rice and a cracked…

Cleaver – Cutting through Classics
If you follow my posts you’ve likely realized I have a penchant for fried chicken. So of course I ordered the Buttermilk Chicken Slider. For a slider, this was a HUGE portion size. I also picked off a friend’s chicken salad with parmesan dressing – and it was absolutely delicious. Use the term “salad” loosely as…
Wok Box – Creekside
Who doesn’t enjoy eating noodles out of a cute take out box? It’s like opening a gift! I ordered a small Dan Dan (spicy) with chicken for about $8 and green onion cake as a side ($4.50). In my opinion, there could be a bit more protein, but really it’s about the Asian (Chinese, Thai,…
Wow Chicken – KFC Trek #1
After a long day of moving, we visited the takeout window at Wow Chicken located on 10th St in Kensington. Perfect for picnics/last minute group takeout, you can order by the half or whole chicken, with a range of sauces to choose from. This is not your traditional KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) but Korean Fried…
National on 8th – Scotch Egg
This is not a full review of the restaurant – just of one appy to go with my beer: The Scotch Egg. What is a scotch egg? It is a medium poached egg wrapped in sausage and deep fried in batter. The trick is not overcooking the yolk – which is really hard to do….
Pho Hoai – Best Pho in Calgary
Yep – I said it….best Pho in Calgary. Nestled in a strip mall in Chinatown, this unassuming restaurant has patio furniture seating for overflow and some of the most turt service I’ve encountered (because their only window of customers is the lunch rush). Satay is sooooooo good here, consistent and definitely made from scratch. Portion…
Jerky King
This place has a decent selection of jerky flavours, and are prepared in house. Super sketch from the outside (and inside), but the price is very low and you have the option to mix & match. I thought this would be a fun option for stocking stuffers as my husband’s side of the family really loves…
Ricky’s All Day Grill – Edgemont Location
Note: There does exist multiple locations along country hills – our favourite is by the Superstore in Edgemont/Hamptons. Looking for a lazy afternoon lunch – we visited the neighbourhood Ricky’s. This location is quite popular, with a mixed demographic of families, seniors and young adults. The service (when we’ve gone) has been stellar, though I…
A Journey through Juree’s Thai…
Located on the west end of 16th avenue (you can’t miss it as it is a converted McDonald’s) – Juree’s transports you to the exotic once you walk in the door, from the wooden window shades to the faux bamboo placemats, veggie art and thai servingware you have to credit the owners for really committing to…
Han Restaurant – Szechuan in City Plaza on Centre St
Another restaurant tucked away in City Plaza. Don’t be intimidated because you will miss out on some authentic Szechuan! With a friend’s recommendation I opted for #12 Beef in Hot Chili Sauce/Oil ($15) with a side of steamed rice on the side. For a chili oil fanatic this was heavenly (and heavy as is apparent…
