I'll be honest, and admit that when I first heard about turducken, I was a little scared. It…read moreseemed ... well ... wrong to have so many animals stuffed into one big turkey. Thankfully, though, I got over that inital reaction and discovered just how wonderful, juicy, and tender this fantastic creation really is. Turduckens have always had to be pre-ordered at delis, or made painstakingly by hand. Well -- not anymore! The Original Turducken takes what was once a deli-exclusive gourmet meal and turns it into something accessible, and just as delicious, right from your local grocer's freezer. Available with two kinds of stuffing (Spicy Italian Sausage, which I love, and chicken apple sausage which is good too), I get my birds from the frozen food isle at CO-OP. After thawing them a few days, all I need to do is pop this turkey-looking beast into the oven, and cook it slow until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F. That's it -- no prep, no basting, no worry -- just cook it like it says to on the packaging. Then, once it's done, all I need to do is slice it like a loaf of bread and serve. Yes -- slice it like a loaf of bread. See, these birds come completely boneless (except for wings and drumsticks). So you're getting solid meat in the guise of a golden turkey. It's awesome and wonderful stuffed into tasty. And the duck and sausage stuffing keeps the entire thing so moist you don't need gravy (... but with drippings, you can make some anyway). With the last bird(s) I made for Christmas dinner, I served 12 adults to satisfaction AND I had enough leftovers for lunches days after. Plus, the dinner conversation never faltered -- everyone was talking about how neat it was to be sampling such a unique dish. It may seem pricey, but you have to remember that you don't waste any money buying bones and sinew that you'll throw away when supper's done (as with regular turkeys). If you want to try something different, I doubt you'll be sorry with this.

The Turducken blew away my expectations. It was moist, tender and delicious but it also commanded a…read morelevel of fascination that is unheard of in the poultry world. Everyone was talking about it days in advance and still are days after. All of my guests crowded around to watch me carve this glorious flock of birds melded together. It was easier to prep than a regular(don't tell all of my dinner guests that, though) and did not require the attention of a normal bird. Just peel off the plastic and heat until the thermometer says its good! Carving is also easier and cleaner than wrestling with a half trimmed carcass. I was prepared since I had read the reviews, but be prepared to create your gravy without much for drippings. The Chicken-apple sausage version barely had a drop of grease off of it and would have made for some thin gravy if I didn't have some cheater mix handy. Good job Echelon Foods! @evanedbom

The exterior of the building appears that it is situated in an old house, which definitely adds to the charm. The staff greeted me an led me to a table on the upper floor. Immediately, I noticed that most parties in here were large and the portions were family style. Definitely something that I wish I had brought friends to and not just come in as a solo diner. However, the staff did not make me feel weird about this at all. I ordered a Lychee Time cocktail and a Rose Rice Cake curry. They brought out an included kimchee plate, which was certainly enough for 4 people. The Rose Rice Cake dish was the same, enough for 2-4 people to share. Both the kimchi and the curry were amazing, I enjoyed both immesely. My only complaint was that my drink was far too sweet, I had to water it down to finish it. When it came time for my inevitable leftovers, the staff had great suggestions for reheating and I was even able to purchase udon to go for the leftovers. Amazing homey experience that I would recommend to anyone in town (preferably with friends!).

While visiting Calgary for work, I had a mad hankering for some Korean food. My meetings got out a…read morebit late so I looked up late night Korean food spots and found Namsan... which was a 26 minute walk from my hotel one way. My craving must have been intense because I didn't even think about it and started my long walk there. The layout of the restaurant is interesting. The bathroom is in the basement, the first floor is a bit small but has some tables, and the second floor has most of the dining area space. Interior decoration was pretty minimal but there was kpop playing and it was a bit dark in there so if you're looking to get a few drinks and Korean food with some friends, this would be a great spot. When I was sat at my table and I looked through the menu, the first thing that popped in my head was that they had quite an extensive menu. From army stew, bibimbap, bulgogi, and what I decided to get Dakgalbi (marinated chicken bbq). The Dakgalbi was really good and marinated well. I wasn't expecting the fried rice at the end to come with it like in Korea which was also really good. The only critique I have regarding the food is that there weren't that many side dishes (banchan) and the lettuce on the side was an extra $5. Service was on point. Thu and the woman server, I forgot her name, worked well as a team to make sure everyone was taken care of even though they had to walk up and down those stairs probably 10+ times just when I was there.

Our server repeatedly insisted we provide some form of identification or certificate for our kids, which is unreasonable. Most families don't carry documents like that when going out for dinner. It felt accusatory and unnecessary, and the way it was handled came across as rude and unwelcoming. We're a family of 11 and enjoy dining out together regularly, so some of us were excited to try this place so we can bring the rest of the family. Unfortunately, the situation escalated to the point where we decided to leave before even ordering. If you're going to be this strict, it would make more sense to just charge one flat price instead of putting customers in an uncomfortable position. We've never experienced anything like this at a family restaurant. There are plenty of other all-you-can-eat Korean restaurants in the city that are far more welcoming and customer-friendly. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're dining with kids.

We had some time to spare before catching our flight back to Toronto and craving some Korean food,…read morewe fortunately stumbled upon this place while looking for some options. There restaurant is split into two section - the ground floor which has the kbbq and the rooftop (oktop) which has some additional menu items. Both sections were nicely decorated and prepared with side dishes ready at the table upon entering. We ordered the kongbul which was served with broth, and it was the perfect amount for the 2 of us. Although the kongbul was delicious on its own, the highlight of the meal were actually the side dishes - they were some of the tastiest side dishes I've ever had at a Korean restaurant. Each was full of flavour and fresh, and tasted home-cooked. Our server was friendly and attentive and was quick to refill our side-dishes and waters. One of the servers also gave us some japchae (as service) which was such a pleasant surprise and was soo tasty! Fingers crossed Korilla will expand to Toronto!

Racial Profiling - plain clothed security…read more Went in to the 10th avenue store to look for supplements to help with my joint pain. Went to the supplement area looking for help, no one was there for ~5 minutes so I walked around till a staff member appeared and I asked for help. During that time, a plain clothed security follow me and watched me as I looked for products. Even when I was talking to a staff member, he followed us around and stared at me. After I decided on the product, I mentioned to the staff that it was very rude what the plain clothed security did to me. She said she noticed it as well and apologized. I went to the till to pay and to no surpise, the security guard was still staring at me. I them waved to him and paid. I called to complain to the main help line, told them my issue and said they would get back to me. It has been over two weeks. Probably didnt get back to me as they never asked for my contact information This is a classic case of racial profiling. No response from Community Natural Foods. Want to help a local business but not after this incident .

Absolutely shocking disgusting place that harrassed customers and lies to get them banned. We were…read moreloyal shoppers for 15+ years without incident but staff at Crowfoot location were inexplicably hostile to my mom for no reason, accusing her of stealing without proof, addressing her in a too personal way, getting too close and in her face during Covid and most recently, when she was in a hurry and late for an appointment, they refuse to help her find a supplement and just ignored or avoided her. Understandably she was upset at the horrible lack of customer service she received. Rather than apologize, they shot her down then banned her the next day. We continued shopping at the downtown branch and occasionally I would pick up emergency items from the closer Crowfoot location. One day I rushed in in a hurry to pick something up, well aware they were closing soon. The supervisor called after me, telling me they're closing soon. I continued walking, well aware they were closing soon. She said 'Did you hear me?' I paused and said quite civilly, 'Yes.' the next thing I knew, I was banned. Presumably for that! Then to add insult to injury, when we went to the downtown branch we were told we are both banned there now too! This after 15 years of no incidences and being loyal customers, this is how they treat us. I called customer 'care' thinking it was a sick mistake and they said they would forward my concern to the appropriate person but no one ever got back to me. I then emailed them, no response. I have since told all my friends and colleagues of this hateful disgusting mistreatment. They were all shocked and won't shop there either. I work in customer service and we would never ever treat anyone so horribly without provocation. Im so disgusted and offended by their appalling hateful discriminatory behaviour.
