Calgary's No-Filter Restaurant Roundup Vol.2! ๐ธ๐ฝ๏ธ
๐ Google Map screenshots of each restaurant follow the food pics - match them yourself! Prices are per person average (including tip, based on my experience). 1๏ธโฃ Cheongdam Kitchen & Bar - Mahogany ๐ฅ Signature dish: Grilled Wagyu! Premium quality beef with perfect texture (see pic), though portion might be small for big eaters. We added Korean pork bone soup which was hearty and satisfying. ๐ Pros: Excellent beef quality ๐ Cons: Far from NW/SW, may not be worth special trip ๐ต Price: Forgot (but the beef was worth it!) 2๏ธโฃ Tobe Teppanyaki Lounge ๐ณ Entertaining Japanese teppanyaki show! Our chef sang, joked, and flamed everything spectacularly. The weekend lunch set ($100pp) included: Lobster tail Scallops Wagyu Mushrooms/veggies Beef fried rice Ice cream (sadly no matcha flavor) Skip the extra appetizer platter - portions are huge! ๐ค Verdict: Fun experience with full belly! 3๏ธโฃ Master Beef Hot Pot near Chinook ๐ฒ Legendary Taiwanese hot pot! Their satay broth blew my mind - possibly the best I've ever had (including in Asia)! Super attentive service (owner?) taught us proper beef swishing techniques. ๐ฐ $50pp = insane value โค๏ธ Must-try: SATAY BROTH! 4๏ธโฃ Pho Mr.Q Vietnamese Restaurant (NW) ๐ My go-to for pho! Their "Beef Rib Noodle" remains perfect, and the chicken wings outshine many wing specialists - huge, juicy, crispy perfection! ๐ต $25pp = steal! 5๏ธโฃ The Food Chemist (New Indian Wing Spot) ๐ Tiny shop (4 tables) with MASSIVE flavors! Let the friendly Indian staff recommend from their dizzying wing menu. Our 2lb wing combo (2 flavors) + fries + mac'n'cheese (uneaten, too full!) was only $24pp. ๐ฅ Pro tip: Come hungry! 6๏ธโฃ Chuan Yue Shi Guang ๐ข Skewers were decent but a tad salty. Price varies. โ Bonus: HIGHLY recommend Korean snacks at T&T! Just try them! #YYCFood #CalgaryEats #NoFilterFoodie
