Cheongdam Korean Kitchen Mahogany — Restaurant in Calgary

If you are looking for Korean cuisine, this is the spot in SE Calgary! The place is spacious and easy to get to!

I've tried most things on the menu through take out orders, but dining in is where it's at.

For lunch, we had ordered several things on the menu!

Corn Cheese 8.5/10 La Kalbi 10/10 Spicy Pork Bone Soup 10/10

Drinks 2x Pink Hanrabong Ade 9.5/10

Corn Cheese was a great appetizer to start. Corn was sweet mixed with diced potatoes and lots of melted cheese! 8.5/10

La Kalbi was tender and perfectly seasoned and grilled. The ribs were quite big and meaty. Along with the grilled vegetables and black sesame salad that came with it, everything was seasoned well and tastes great together. 10/10

Spicy Pork Bone Soup had a very generous amount of pork bones. The meat was cooked well and fell off the bone. The broth was perfectly seasoned and pairs extremely well with the rice that comes with it! Highly recommend it during a cold day! 10/10

They offered 4 complimentary banchan(side dishes) along with our meals, all of them tasted great, my favorite was their fishcakes while my friend really liked their kimchi! 9/10

We also tried their Pink Hanrabong Ade, I thought it was a great alternative to the generic soda/pop. Very refreshing non-alcoholic drink! 9.5/10

The staff were also very welcoming and attentive throughout our meal, between ordering on the tablet and doing rounds to check on tables. Staff were friendly and efficient when interacting with us and other customers! 10/10

The dining area was very clean and tidy.

Overall, I really like this place! I would highly recommend it for others to check out and stop by for lunch or...

Went to try this newly opened restaurant out. Was super excited as there's not much in the way of Korean foods in the deep SE. Unlike the other location there's no ayce kbbq. Ambience is casual with Kpop playing in the background, they have tile floors so it can be a tad loud. Was seated almost right away and placed order on their tablet just before 4.30pm. I ordered the bossam sliced pork belly with lettuce and a side of rice ($22 and $3 respectively). Unfortunately it took a while to get my food, waited 25 minutes before my dish and banchan were brought out all at once. Especially disappointing as I saw other customers receive their banchan and mains within 10-15 mins tops after ordering.

However the food when it did arrive was absolutely delicious - the pork belly so soft and tender and moist served with their special garlic dip, and the banchan themselves were good too, likely made inhouse, featuring pickled onions, kimchi, edamame and fish cakes. Portion size was also good- the pork is listed as an appetizer but with rice it was more than enough for one person.

I'm hoping the delay in food is just new opening issues and hope the kinks will be smoothed out soon, as I'd love to come back again with a...

First time dining here and we had a great time! We came around 11:30 on a Sunday and didn't have to wait, but it started to get really busy by the next hour.

We ordered tonkatsu, bossam & seafood soft tofu soup. The tonkatsu here is an extremely generous portion (2 cutlets) and it can definitely be shared between two people. Bossam was good too, really enjoyed the housemade garlic sauce that came with it. We liked that we could choose the spice level of the soup. This made it easier to share with the person I was dining with as they can't tolerate spicy foods. This is the first Korean restaurant I've been to that has that option and it is greatly appreciated! Also wanted to note that we liked the banchan here. They're quite generous with the top ups too. I've been to other restaurants that would flat out say no if you asked, however at Cheongdam, the servers offer to top them up when they see the dishes getting sparse.

Would I dine here again? Yes! Not only is the food good, the staff is great too. Our server was attentive and always made sure we were having...
