CALGARY | DENNIS THE FOODIE Hot Chicken in Cold Calgary – December 2015. February 8, 2016 dennis 4 Comments. Last time we were in Calgary during the winter was back in 2010. This Vancouver boy isn’t used to the brutal, dry cold. Although the snow texture is fluffy and makes a cool crunching sound,it’s still a
PORK | DENNIS THE FOODIE Hog Shack just celebrated it’s 5th anniversary on Thursday, Oct. 15, 2015 with Swinefest, a “competition-style” barbecue buffet that included a glass of Driftwood’s fresh hop Sartori Harvest for only $35!It was a sweet deal that probably flew under a lot of people’s radar, but it sold out well ahead of time anyways. We were there to celebrate and indulge, so here’s the recap. HIP NEW VIETNAMESE WITH A PRICE TAG TO MATCH AT ANH + CHI The pricing of the “Hands” section of the menu is a smidge high, with the exception of the Grilled Skewers section which is rip-off city (more on that below). The rest of the menu items are about $1-$4 more expensive than what I’m used to seeing for Vietnamese food. Their physical menu is missing a few dishes that are listed online. DENNIS DREAMS OF MAUMI: THE OMAKASE EXPERIENCE AT SUSHI The omakase (“chef’s choice”) experience at Sushi Bar Maumi (Facebook, Instagram) is defined as much by what it isn’t as by what it is. There’s no rolls. No aburi (torched) sushi. Not a bottle of mayonnaise in sight. There isn’t even soy sauce at the table. EATING THE ENTIRE MENU AT THE MACKENZIE ROOM (AKA I WANT I’ve had the (inaccurate) impression that The Mackenzie Room in DTES/Japantown was like our version of The Black Hoof in Toronto.Aside from the chalkboard menu, there’s not that much that’s similar. Black Hoof does more offcuts while Mackenzie Room has more veggie-forward dishes. HOMEY, LIGHT & FRESH FLAVOURS AT CAFE DANG ANH The tube-like water celery sticks add a touch of soapy flavour and crunch. Overall a good, light bowl of noodles. Bun Rieu + Cha Ca aka Grilled Fish + Fresh-water Crab Rice Noodles ($9). This one looks and tastes exactly the same as the previous one, except with the addition of those crab/pork/egg chunks common to bun rieu:DENNIS THE FOODIE

Shama-Ya is still around, still run by the adorable Japanese couple. It’s a small 20-seater place that I’ve eaten at or gotten takeout from occasionally since they opened. Good, old-school, rustic sushi at a fair price. A definite cut above your non-Japanese-run sushi place. I figured I should write a bit about it before the owners inevitably retire. _(I keep on thinking it’s going to happen soon, but the owners persevere with the help of their daughter! Enjoy this place while it’s still around!)_ Continue reading Dinner Quickie: Omakase Nigiri Set at Shima-Ya onVictoria Drive →

PREMIUM CHOICE: A SUSHI LUNCH AT TETSU SUSHI BAR ON DENMANMarch 23, 2019

Incredible indulgent lunch for $54 and a very different experience from a full-on, served one piece at a time omakase meal. I lunched solo, and I loved having this personal, scaled-down yet still incredible experience. A must-do for local high-end sushi lovers.

OMAKASE THAT NEEDS YOUR APPRECIATION AT SUSHI BAR SHU IN MARPOLEMarch 20, 2019
dennis 2 Comments
Are you looking for that interactive omakase experience? One where you can actually chat with the chef? SUSHI BAR SHU (website,
Tetsu Sushi Bar
,
Sushi by Yuji
,
Matsuzushi (Port Moody), Octopus’ Garden,
etc appeal to you, then you’ll appreciate this omakase-only experience. If you need tempura, noodles, rolls, or are price-sensitive, DO NOT COME HERE. * Sushi Bar Shu is run by an all-Korean staff. I was sorta skeptical that a Korean chef would be experienced and dedicated enough to provide an omakase experience that was respectful to the Japanese omakase experience, but I came away completely convinced that the chef/owner Kevin Shin is serious. Keep in mind that this place is _not_ Korean sushi (which is its own legitimate thing). This is real-deal Japanese (Edomae) sushi. * Because the staff are Korean, you will need to be accomodating to the Korean accent. They are all fluent in English, but you do need some sensitivity in this matter. I could understand about 80% of what the staff said, and that’s coming from having a few Korean friends and family members. If you’re keen on the details of everything you’re eating, you will be rewarded by conversing with the chef, but I felt to be polite I had to let some details slide, lest I ask the same question again and again * The experience and style are different from any other omakase place in town. To me this is a huge plus. This restaurant is about exploring _their way_ of doing omakase. You can actually chat with the chefs here. Other places (while great in their own right) aren’t always conducive to chatting. * Reservations HIGHLY recommended. For all intents and purposes, they only have nine seats at the bar. * They opened in December 2018, and the chef seems intent on improving and tweaking the restaurant and the food. So what I experienced probably will change over time. * There is NO liquor license. Yet. Only beverage available is tea. * The nigiri here is on the smaller side. It’s about quality over quantity. If you want quantity, I suggest going to Samurai. _Huge thanks to @chengsophia and @thedallah for postingabout this place._

LUNCH QUICKIE: COM VIETNAMESE IN RICHMONDMarch 20, 2019
dennis Leave a comment It’s hard not to talk about CơM Vietnamese Restaurant without comparing it to the other Vietnamese elephant in the room, Anh + Chi.
But after three years after the opening of Anh + Chi, the restaurant landscape has changed. Food costs and rent have only gone up. Paying more for a meal out has become the new normal. But “ethnic” food is still battling the perception that it should always be cheap (_see Eddie Huang’s “full fucking price”_).
Vancouver has gotten used to its cheap but often mediocre hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese restaurants but places like House Special,
Anh + Chi , Chau Veggie,
CơM, DD Mau Chinatown , Dundas Eat + Drink , and others are slowly trying to carve out a space for “fancier” Vietnamese with cocktails and designer interiors. Whether they are actually offering something new that’s worth the higher price tag or simply presenting the same food in a cleaner, more Instagrammable environment is up for debate. IN A NUTSHELL: good (but not perfect) Vietnamese food in a comfortable space but awkward location. More positives and negatives. Large menu deserves another visit.

LUNCH QUICKIE: HORIN RAMEN + SAKE ON ROBSONMarch 17, 2019
dennis 1 Comment
Horin Ramen + Sake opened up in late 2018, occupying the space that used to be the short-lived Sanuki Udon (review here).
They’ve got an impressively TIGHT menu with only ONE kind of ramen (with five variations that only differ in toppings), two kinds of gyoza, and that’s basically it! With such a narrow focus, they should nail this style of tonkotsu ramen, right? Mostly yes…but the detailed answer is a bit more complicated.

FIRST LOOK: GOOD PIZZA & BEER, AW-PHO PHO AT SING SING BEER BAR ONMAIN ST.
February 27, 2019
dennis 1 Comment
As Wicca says, the beef pho we had here was _“aw-pho”_ (as in “awful”, for the dense people). I try to stay away from superlatives, but that bowl of beef pho we had at Sing Sing Beer Bar was the single worst dish I’ve had in the last year. The chef here is vegan. DISCLAIMERS ABOUT THIS REVIEW: * Sing Sing were open less than a week a week and a half when we visited, so the food and menu will probably change. Hopefully the phowill improve.
* I post this because people like you and me deserve to know how the food is tasting _now_, if we’re considering risking our hard-earned money on a place with a gloriously wacky concept. * Consider this a rough guide to what works and what doesn’t rightnow.
* NOTE: the room got dark really fast, so my photos of the food are horrible. The food actually looks way better in-person. * There’s some connection to Donnelly Group that I haven’t been able to suss out yet. Sing Sing is a venture by the people behind Back and Forth Bar (the ping pong bar) in Gastown. Could it be Donnelly Group lending support to places that are actually cool? Instead of overwrought and soulless? * NOTE 2: I wrote this while high, so I’ve gone back afterwards and added a few notes, as noted. IF YOU DON’T WANT TO READ OR SCROLL, HERE IT IS IN A NUTSHELL: Good beer list, very fair beer prices, great pizza, the pho is a crime against Vietnamese culture, and the room is VERY LOUD.

PALLING AROUND WITH CONTEMPORARY CANADIAN CUISINE AT DACHI ON EASTHASTINGS
January 27, 2019
dennis Leave a comment With a name like Dachi (“pal” in Japanese), you’d think this was yet another modern Asiany restaurant but it’s actually a snapshot of contemporary Canadian/PNW multiculturalism on a plate that just works in a quiet, accessible, yet sophisticated way. Dachi was just four weeks old when we dined there and we saw influences drawn from Ukranian, German, Asian, and American cultures on the menu. Tight menu and booze list, very well curated. You can feel the experience oozing out of all the industry vets working there. If you’re into seasonal farm-to-table, small plates-style eating, you’ll love this place.

IMPRESSIVE KUSHIYAKI & SUSHI AT SHOKUNIN IZAKAYA IN CALGARYNovember 12, 2018
dennis 1 Comment
Shokunin follows a theme that I’ve noticed in Calgary — modern Asian food, _not necessarily cooked by Asians_, being done respectfully at a high level, and embraced by the dining public. Specifically: Anju (every iteration), Foreign Concept , Two Penny , and — now that I’ve finally tried it — SHOKUNIN. I was really impressed by the quality and attention to detail with their kushiyaki/yakitori and nigiri sushi. The best nigiri I’ve had in an izakaya. Lots of attention paid to flavour, technique, and sourcing of ingredients. Pricing is fair considering the labour involved. I met up with local blogger Miss Foodie and homeboy Hungryslif for a quick shared meal before flying back to Vancouver. Read on for the blow-by-blow.
