**Decent overall, but missed the mark on execution and service consistency.**…read more We were searching for Japanese food near our Airbnb, and Donkari popped up. The menu reminded me of some of my favorite Bay Area spots, like Gochi, so we decided to give it a try. We arrived around 6 PM to a fully packed house, which is usually a great sign of a successful restaurant. **What we ordered:** Tempura udon, salmon sashimi, buta yaji don (pork bowl), and ice cream. My daughter absolutely loved her meal and is already demanding we come back. Seeing her so happy with the food was a huge win, and I'd be more than willing to return just for her. For me, however, the experience was a mixed bag. I purposely ordered the buta yaki don because it's always a great test of how a kitchen handles pork. Unfortunately, the execution wasn't 100% right. The meat seemed to just be pan-fried, leaving a blatant, unfiltered pork smell. I hope it could have been marinated more to get rid of the smell. Overall, it's a decent spot, and we will be returning for sure!

Honestly, this could be my new favorite Japanese restaurant in Calgary. Tucked in a plaza just off…read more14th St SW, Donkari is a small, maybe 15-seater restaurant serving up Japanese comfort food. The inside is cozy with lots of wood accents. My friends and I got and shared the Katsu udon, classic gyu don, and karaage curry. Every single dish was a banger; I especially loved the gyu don with perfectly seasoned beef and the rice soaking up the sauce. I liked that each dish came with a couple side dishes like tofu, tempura egg, or miso soup. Everything was priced around $18-23. The service was also very friendly; we raved about how delicious the food was, and our server seemed delighted to hear that. So here's your chance to go try the food out and tell her the same thing!

The pad thai had the right tang to it - not at all sweet or ketchupy like some restaurants. Soup was light and fragrant. The green curry was incredible. I've never been to Thailand before but my husband has and he said the flavours were legit. The kits come with fresh herbs and hard to find ingredients, such as galangal, lemongrass, chilies, shrimp paste, tamarind juice, palm sugar, peanuts, and fish sauce. Prices are reasonable - it works out to be less than Thai restaurants in Calgary but it tastes to me, much healthier and less sweet/oily. There are discounts if you order $100 or more, plus free delivery. Pro tip - cut up the chilies in tiny slivers. I thought it was a red pepper and chomped on it. My mouth was burning for a good hour.

I LOVE Thai Manna! We recently discovered these amazing kits at Bearspaw Lion Farmers Market in NW…read moreThey also are at the Millarville Farmers Market. A small is $15, feeds 2 and $24 for 3-4. They provided samples here for various types, green, red, yellow and Penang curry. They are all DELICIOUS! The price is average and I think about how much it is to go out for Thai, portion sizes are a lot smaller, I feel flavours are restaurant quality and I like how I know what is exactly going in the dish. You can substitute for what you like, coconut milk is provided and you can make it a "lighter" version by adding water. Rice is also provided and is really tasty. They are easy to make and fool proof! Easy directions with all ingredients provided to make, though you add your own vegetables and protein. I've bought all of them and love, it's a really good and fast supper. We add tons of vegetables and we have enough for me, my husband and leftovers for lunch. Downside is I wish they were more easily found! You can go to their website to find locations that carry these kits year round, though pricing is slightly better at the seasonal farmers market. They will give you $1 off if you bring back the box and if you buy 3 kits you'll get a free Tom Yum soup. BTW, I tried and it was also soooo good! Give Thai Manna a try you'll love!!

I ordered the Spot On Burger which is an AAA Certified Alberta Angus Beef and includes lettuce, tomato, onion and spicy mayo for a cost of $17.99. The burger was a hand-crafted beef patty that was juicy and delicious. The bun was fresh as well as the toppings. I would give this burger a 9/10 and look forward to the next time I have it, as I want to dine it for the next burger experience. I highly recommend this burger at Spot On. Second visit in September I had previous placed only orders for pickup from Spot On, however this time I dined in for lunch in early September. I ordered the California Dream Salad with chicken. The cost was $18.98, and was okay, nothing to write home about. This is the second time I have had a salad at Spot On, however I cannot recommend any of the salads, the other items I had here were good, don't come here for salads. Third visit in September I placed an order for pickup from Spot On in early September. I ordered the Chuck Wagon Chicken Sandwich which is a BBQ marinated chicken, cheddar cheese, maple peppered bacon, fried crispy onion strings, spicy mayo, lettuce and tomato on a brioche bun for a cost of $18.99. The chicken sandwich was hefty in size and equally delicious. I highly recommend Chuck Wagon Chicken Sandwich at Spot On.

The interior was your typical Montana's BBQ house decor which was warm and inviting. It was a bit busy on this evening but we were seen and seated right away. They have quite a few options on the menu - even non-BBQ options. But of course if you come to Montana's you want to get BBQ. My son who has a bigger appetite now got the regular Mac n Cheese entrée. It looked like he enjoyed it as he consumed it pretty fast. My wife and daughter got the BBQ Brisket. There was lots of meat. It was delicious and tender with great flavour. I had the regular back ribs with almond butter sauce and beans, onion rings and coleslaw. The food was great and the atmosphere made family enjoy their time here.
