hey friends from Calgary, I'm here to viisit again, and this time, I want some good chinese/ japanese food, where do you guys recommend? my location is near marketmall, so some good restaurants within 20-30 mins drive will do! thanks for the help

 

Sorry, I'd love to help but I don't get into that part of town very often.

 

Me too neither. I do like the Japanese Noodle House at about 12th ave and 13 st, but it's just a little hole in the wall and pretty much the outside of your 20-30 minute drive envelope. Their spicy chicken kicks!!

 

Calgary doesn't have much in terms of Japanese food, and all the good Chinese restaurants are downtown (in Chinatown, duh).

It's been a while for me, but I'd recommend the Silver Dragon in Chinatown.

Calgary has a very large Vietnamese community, and therefore Vietnamese restaurants (many good ones) are much more common, especially in the northeast up near Market Mall.

 

Depending on the time of day, it will only take you about 10 minutes to get downtown. The north west part of Calgary really sucks for restaurants. All the good chinese is downtown. By Japanese do you mean sushi?

 

thanks for the info guys, and yes I've tried viet food, it's great! I think i'll go try Silver Dragon. Christian, I know what you mean, I swear out loud in every red light and in traffic! ya any kind of japanese food is good! thanks for the help again!

 

Sushi Hiro has amazing sushi, but it's a tad pricy. There's a sushi restaurant by northland mall that's pretty good, but for the life of me I can't remember the name.

 

Sushi Boat in Crowfoot isn't awful.
New Dynasty in Crowfoot isn't awful either.
YMMV

 

yup, been to sushi Boat, it was acceptable except for the sake of me working in a Japanese restaurant....their calamari recieved a big FAIL from me...

 

sushi boat gets a big fail all around, it's probably the worst sushi I've had in Calgary.
