Calgary's New Gem｜A Vibrant Vietnamese Escape

Tired of my usual spot Mr.Q, I ventured into An An Kitchen & Bar – and what a delightful change! This place oozes Southeast Asian charm with its cozy indoor seating and breezy patio, perfect for date nights, group hangs, or that ~aesthetic~ foodie gram. 📸 🍽️ Must-Try Hits 🍜 An An Signature Pho (House Special Beef Noodle Soup) The 12-hour bone broth is liquid gold – rich, aromatic, and packed with tender short ribs, brisket, beef balls, and premium wagyu slices. Meat lovers, this is your holy grail! 🥥 Coconut Curry Seafood Stir-Fry UNEXPECTED STAR OF THE MEAL! Plump scallops, shrimp, squid, and crab sticks swimming in a creamy, fragrant coconut curry sauce that’s just rich enough. Pour it over rice and thank me later. 🍤 Tempura Light, crispy, and perfect for sharing. No heavy grease – just a satisfying crunch. 🥑 Smoothie Creamy avocado goodness, though a tad thick for my taste. (Still team Mr.Q’s smoothies, ngl.) ✨ Why You’ll Love It Ambience: Moody lighting, lush plants, and Insta-worthy corners. First-date approved! Menu Depth: Beyond pho – next time I’m eyeing their lemongrass mussels and banh xeo (Vietnamese crêpes). Value: Generous portions for downtown prices. 📍 An An Kitchen & Bar 1111 7 St SW, Calgary, AB T2R 1A1 💰 $20-30 per person (Worth every penny!) #CalgaryEats #VietnameseFood #HiddenGem #DTDining #SoutheastAsianFlavors #FoodieFind
