Located in Panorama Hills in North Calgary, this dim sum restaurant with a ballroom setting served…read moreabove average dim sum plates. It is located in the suburbs and a bit far from the actual Calgary Chinatown, but it came with ample parking and prices with the high quality food were simply unbeatable (Small: 5.95, Medium: 6.75, Large: 7.35 CAD). No carts, but dim sum is served all the way up to 3pm. We came just before 2pm and were seated immediately. The restaurant was huge and very easy-going at this particular time. We ordered the classics off a paper slip -- shrimp rice roll, siumai, har gow, turnip cake, ham sui gok, etc. -- and were blown away at the portion size which were on the larger end of the spectrum. They certainly do not skimp on the filling. For instance, the siumai and har gow contained very plumply-sized shrimp. Flavor was spot on as well. The hot tea was complimentary which is unusual from my parts. When we finished ordering, they even brought out a complimentary dessert which was a slightly sweet agar type thing. What a great end to a short and sweet visit to Calgary! We even had so much food to take back through airport security. The parents were much pleased with the leftovers.

Some friends and I decided to try out Big Fish & Open Range during their customer appreciation week…read moreat the beginning of March. Given the high ratings on Yelp and Google, I was quite excited to see what they had to offer. We were greeted warmly when we walked in, and we were given two menus: one called Big Fish which contained seafood dishes and one called Open Range which contained meat dishes. A bit of a strange concept, I thought, almost like two restaurants in one. We started with the seafood appy platter, which was alright. The smoked salmon was a bit leathery, but the scallops were cooked beautifully. I liked the chutney and tartar sauce as well. For my main, I ordered the pork chop with a sweet potato hash and mushroom risotto ($49). Unfortunately I was very disappointed. The pork chop was quite overcooked and almost tough to eat, and the risotto had the texture of fried rice. The flavors were fine, but the execution of the dish impacted my eating experience so much that it was hard to look past that. We chose not to stay for dessert, as we were a bit wary at that point, but I really hope this was just an off day, as the ideas behind the dishes have great potential--they just need a bit more precision on execution.

This place is definitely one of our family's favourite restaurant to go for fish and chips -- the calamari is consistently crispy and fried to perfection, as well as the lightly battered pollock/haddock and chips/fries. Their house made tartar sauce is the best in town! Also, be sure to check out their seasonal lunch specials which are not included in the online menu.

The fish had the usual good quality, but the fries were called on everybody's plate and even the pretty standard Keylime pie was a bright orange and almost looked a little curdled. None of us got through over half of the pie. To top it off, the cook had come out near the end of the meal and was talking to the waitress loud enough for a lot of the patrons to hear how he was exhausted and he'll never work at 12 hour shift again. Very disappointing from a usually consistent spot. If the next visit is like this one, there won't be another.

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.

It was clean, service was friendly and the space with the windows was lovely. Our waitress brought fresh bread and butter and we ordered our meals.

Seafood is expensive and I felt that the pricing was reasonable for what you receive. Take a look at my bento box photo. Shrimps were large, the calamari was good, tempura was a bit oily but light and the fish was excellent. This is a pretty good seafood lunch deal so give them a try! I was not able to have the spicy creamy sauce due to my dairy issue so I tried the wine sauce. I'd choose a different sauce next time, such as the oyster sauce or just go deep fried all the way

It was a lot of food! The presentation of all of the entrees was amazing with the cute set of banchan for each on the tray. Highlights: - The seafood pancake was so crispy and delicious! Filled with great seafood, not just filler things. - Beef short ribs were delicious - Kimchi pork rib soup was also good! - Our guy friend got a spicy pork hock (I think?) bibimbap and devoured the whole thing, so it must've been good - The katsu was giant, but not our favorite thing. It was more of a standard katsu. We were coming from the US, so the portions and quality was excellent for the price! We were all pleasantly surprised. It was probably the best meal I had on the whole trip too. If I came back to Calgary again, I would want to come back to eat here.
