My girlfriend and I ate at Seoul Country after a long day of exploring Sulphur Mountain. The…read morerestaurant is kind of tucked away in a mall, but there are signs advertising it on the main street. It was a particularly cold and windy day so some Korean soup sounded amazing. We came around 3PM so it wasn't too busy. The place looks a little dated and seems like it used to be a different type of restaurant but that doesn't really matter to me. The food is good which is the most important part. Then banchan came first and there weren't as many dishes as I'm usually used to. My favorite banchan is definitely fishcakes and they were missed here. The kimchi was good though and so was everything else. I ordered the Sokkoritang or Oxtail Soup. The broth was super flavorful and milky while the oxtail was super tender. This was so comforting after being in the cold for a few hours. I could sip on the broth all day. It wasn't overly salty, in fact it was under salted but they provide salt for you to salt the dish to your liking. My girlfriend got the Galbitang or Short Rib Soup and she seemed to really enjoy it. The short ribs were cooked well and came off the bones easily. The broth was nice and beefy. Service was good. I can definitely recommend Seoul Country.

Gamja Tang - Really nice and comforting. Its exceptionally delish. Meat is super fall off the bone tender. 9/10   Japchae - Noodles are a bit overdone, but the flavors to forgive the soggy noodles. 7.8/10   Hameul Pajoon - Pancake is pretty, a bit skimpish on the ingredients. Other than that its a pretty good pancake. 7.3/10   Assorted Banchan - Kimchi was pretty good, the spinach was ok, the bean spouts are tasty and the reddish was superb. 8/10   Bibimbap - Pretty Good,, a bit more flavor is needed but the Gochujang does take it home. 7.5/1]   Bulgogi - its a bit on the mid side. Some flavor needed, but over all not bad. 7/10   Galbi -  Actually nicely seasoned and marinated. It stands by itself. I adore a good galbi. 8.8/10 The setting is pretty nice. Service was on point and I would highly recommend for a proper sit down meal after a long day of looking around.

I was excited to try Shoku Izakaya after a waitress recommended this spot to us from when we were…read moredining at Sky Bistro the day prior. The place was pretty busy when we arrived for dinner. Things we tried: - Agedashi Tofu: fried tofu with a warm dashi. It was light and the dashi had nice flavor. (3.5/5 stars) - Karaage Chicken: the chicken was tender and well-seasoned. (3.5/5 stars) - Edamame: the edamame arrived at the end of our meal which was odd. It was also not cooked well and tasted like it could have been frozen and then warmed up. Disappointing. (1/5 stars) - Shoku Roll: the roll was pretty good with the salmon on top and negitoro inside. I wish they used less of the sauce and mayo on top or put it on the side instead, because it was a lot and was overpowering the fish. (4/5 stars) - Salmon Oyako Bowl: I liked the raw salmon and salmon roe part, however the cooked salmon was overcooked. The bowl also lacked flavor and required soy sauce, though I wish there was a different sauce to add to it. (4/5 stars) Overall for the food, it's okay. I'm from California so we have better food so I'm trying not to be too critical knowing it's in Banff. It's nice to have an izakaya spot in downtown Banff though. Service: mixed. The waiter was nice, however they seemed under-staffed. He had too many tables so service was slow and we struggled with flagging him down when we needed a refill or the check.

This food was delicious! There were multiple vegan options that were bursting in flavor and…read morefilling! 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!

Came here for happy hour drinks and a distillery tour…read more Happy hour drinks are very affordable. I loved the Rootbeer + 2 shots of vanilla vodka. The Distillery tour was a bit underwhelming since it was only a viewing of Penny and a room behind that. However, you could have a tasting of 4 of their unique beverages. I was suprised by how much I enjoyed the Maple Rye (which was never something I considered myself to like). I bought one as a gift. Another fun add-on to the tour is to create your own bottle of gin. As we learned, Gin is quite literally vodka with a teabag, so you get to customize your own infusion blend for the gin. This is in a full size bottle of liquid, so ensure that you have additional space/weight in your luggage because not only is it a large amount of alcohol, but also a heavy glass bottle. Grace was a great guide for this tour/experience!

The toro nigiri barely tastes like anything and the unagi was normal tasting, nothing special. The shrimp tempura was fine as well but I wouldn't say it was anything great. The beef udon was not good and the beef was insanely tough, making the soup completely not worth eating. I don't recommend this place but it's not terrible. I dont think I'll return.

*Late review* Came here at the ending of last year…read more Walking around the Banff town and heard good things about this place on social media and we saw the line was long outside so maybe there was some hype? The inside is very small and everyone sits around the conveyor belt. It is first come first serve so plan ahead if you wanna beat the lunch/dinner rushes. We went around 1:30 and it took us maybe ~40 minutes to get seated for a party of six (we didn't want to be separated). There is a sushi chef in the middle who makes the sushi right in front of you which is pretty entertaining. As for ordering, you can either ask the chef or your server. They are always putting different things on the conveyor belt so there is always an assortment of sushi to try. We weren't a fan of the sashimi but we did order a lot of the rolls. Their spicy ahi is different from what we're used to - it's just plain ahi with a drop of sriracha on top. Our favorite roll was probably the deep fried shrimp roll and California roll. You can't go wrong with that. We ordered the seaweed salad and potato croquette a couple of times. Price wise it's pretty expensive for the amount and quality that you get. All the food on the menu ranges from about $4.95-$7.95. IMO you're paying for the experience - sushi chef in front of you, conveyor belt, plates on a sushi train. There is one server for the restaurant because the seating area is so small, but the staff in general is pleasant. It's OK but hits the spot if you want a little sushi fix.

Ok, so I was a bit apprehensive about this place because of it being "revolving sushi"; however, I…read morewas pleasantly surprised! You won't find an extensive menu with lots of fancy rolls, but you can get some delicious salmon, yellowtail, or tuna. They also make shrimp tempura rolls, California rolls, and desserts. My favorite was the atomic mayo tuna, so good! My husband enjoyed the scallop. The staff here is so friendly. It's a tiny spot, so depending on when you go you might have to wait. If you are craving sushi this a great place to grab a quick bite!

PSA: get the Blinkay app prior to going as you'll need it to pay the parking fee. The medium sized restaurant has a nice bar and large kitchen where you can peak in to see the chef crafting fusion delights. Fusion is a bit of a misleading term, as the root of each dish is pretty obvious. We opted for the fried chicken burger and the MiGoReng. Also up were the pulled pork Bao and wontons. Our kids had the kid meal corndogs which came out on a gourmet plate. Enjoy!
