We got the mushroom risotto (so unique), the vegetarian bao bun, and the vegetarian lettuce wraps (make sure to ask for vegan so they can sub the non-vegan sauce). The only con was that the restaurant itself was small and can only take a few parties at a time. We got lucky and took the 6 remaining seats at the bar, but be prepared to wait if you're a bigger party. That said, the staff and bartender were very nice and service time was fairly normal. Would recommend!

There were four of us, and we waited about 10 minutes for a table, but you can also make a reservation ahead of time if you don't want to wait. Once seated, service was efficient and friendly. We all ordered burgers, and they were hearty and filling. I chose The Malibu, and the fried chicken cutlet was hot and crispy, with everything tasting fresh and made to order. Overall, this was a solid spot to refuel after hiking, and I'd happily return to this place when I visit Banff again!

I think I just don't like Poutine (too many competing flavors and textures)…read more But overall, I can't knock Banff Poutine as a business. Friendly guys, fresh food. Small venue, so be prepared to take your food and head out, or come during off-peak hours if you plan to sit and stay.

I originally wanted to order the poke bowl, but they told me they no longer sell it, even though it's still listed on the menu. I then tried ordering the 8-piece Cali Crunch Roll, but they only had a limited selection of rolls left, so I ended up getting the 4-piece California Roll instead. Unfortunately, the California Roll had barely any filling, which was disappointing. It was still edible, but nothing memorable, and not the best sushi I've had.

Thing is we arrived pretty late. Close to midnight. Me and my daughter walked to town, about 5-10 minutes away from our hotel. A few places were still open, which was nice. After checking out a few places, we decided to check out Aardvark. Location - It's in the town of Banff. It's right off of the main street. Walkable from a lot of the hotels in the area. Food - The food is good. It was freshly made. We got one pepperoni, one cheese, and poutine. The pizza had enough grease, but it's not greasy. The dough was cooked properly. It was crispy outside and chewey inside. The flavor on the pizza and poutine was good. I did not get food poisoning. Service/Staff - Good service. Orders were taken promptly and food came out on a timely manner. Staff were friendly. Vibe - The place had a fun and bright vibe. Pizza by the slice was on display. There's not really a place to sit. It's pretty much a "come in and grab" type of place. It was cool. People were still coming in to buy slices. Would I go back? Yes, I would. It's specially nice that they are open super late. I hope they stay the same.

On top of that, my sandwich was underfilled on veggies whereas other people in my group had sandwiches overstuffed with vegetables. This is very inconsistent.

First off, the spot has plenty of parking for restaurant goers only (90 min) and the staff was all really nice and efficient. For the food, as someone who has eaten a lot of Chinese food, I thought everything was delicious and authentic! I read on a previous saying the food wasn't oily at all and I'd have to agree with that. I'd definitely recommend coming here if you're craving Chinese food! Perfect for a family style meal to share and the amount we got was perfect to keep a party of 6 adults content for lunch. - Okanagan pear cider: 10/10 I loved this! So light and refreshing - Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce: 7/10 solid dish - Salt and pepper squid: 10/10, great flavor! Would recommend for sure - Special fried rice: 6/10, on the bland side BUT pairs really well if you're getting protein only dishes I.e the salt and pepper squid we got! I'd prefer this over white rice - Fried thick noodles: 9/10 good flavor and good oil level! - Chicken with vegetables (and black bean sauce requested): 6.5/10 it was good but mixed reviews at our table - Hot and sour soup: 6/10, could have a little more flavor but was good enough for our craving! Overall, id definitely come back here for Chinese food if I'm ever in Banff again
