Bow Bulgogi House - Calgary

My friend had the Bow Bulgogi House on his restaurant wishlist for a while, so he made us a reservation for 7pm on a Friday evening and we checked it out. The strip mall is quite busy, with a lot of other businesses also open during the dinner hours so I had to park down one of the streets in the residential area – not a big deal – only a couple blocks walk. The small restaurant was packed, and all through the evening there were people waiting outside to come in. Based on the food I’m not surprised there was always a line of folks waiting for a table. At least they take reservations!

Korean and Vietnamese fusion place that switched owners a few times. I usually come here just for the spicy squid on rice and the vermicelli tomato noodle. That soup is perfect for a hang over. I order number 53. People should try it out! It's different than most of the other noodle soups. They mix it with fish balls, shrimps, fresh onions but fake crab meat.

The food was delicious! The beef bulgogi was especially tasty. The restaurant is small, so seating is limited and parking can be hard to find, but that's to be expected in the inner city.

Came here to try their iced noodle dish. I've seen pictures and noticed most restaurants offer it during the warmer seasons, and this seemed to be only place that offered it in November and year round.<br/ <br/ All my years of eating Korean food, this was the dish that I have not ever tried, and I felt like being adventurous. Ordered the mool naeng myon. The iced juiced reminded me of alcohol. Its definitely an acquired taste. I wasn't a fan, and when the owner/chef lady walked by and saw that I didn't finish my dish, she asked if everything was ok, and seemed very disappointed that I didn't finish. I felt so bad! but still love the restaurant. I've tried their BBQ meats and truly authentic. Staff and service is fantastic. <br/ <br/ Parking is limited though. Very small humble restaurant.

This is an easy and budget-friendly way to start eating healthy again after the binging of the holidays(no judgment! . I definitely imbibed, overate, over-drank(sorry liver! and used my holidays to the max. I am pretty sure I have the 30-something equivalent to bed sores, but I am proud of reading 5 novels in 6 days and spending time with good friends going sledding, hiking, and cooking in the kitchen.
