Japchae and dumplings
Jenn N.

With the whole "New Year, New Me" movement that occurs at the beginning of each year, an article along the lines of "Must Try Plant Based Restaurants of Calgary" recently came out. SaVeg was featured and their Korean inspired cuisine is what piqued my interest. I find Asian vegetarian or vegan dishes to be more adventurous, flavourful but most importantly filling. For lunch I went with the japchae glass noodles with pan fried dumplings. Mixed in the noodles were colorful veggies of spinach, carrots, peppers and onions, ribbons of tofu and sesame seeds sprinkled on top. The star of this dish were the dumplings. I ate one and immediately pried open a second one to see what was inside because I swear it tasted like pork! With the delish food and reasonable pricing, I can't wait to head back to SaVeg again!

Awesome. A must, even if you are not Vegan! The Tuna Poke bowl and bibimbap was very good!! The no eggs Benedict... the sauce makes it. Presentation and flavors were all above expectations.

Good theme, courteous staff; menu was unique and loved the variety. My glass noodles were flavorful and well done. The reason it was a 4 star and not 5 for me is because I think they were microwaving food, which affected the freshness of the food, as there was just one person doing all the tasks- taking orders, billing and cooking!

Came in here late after work on a cold weeknight. They are open late and I was excited for a cozy…read moremeal. The exterior of the building appears that it is situated in an old house, which definitely adds to the charm. The staff greeted me an led me to a table on the upper floor. Immediately, I noticed that most parties in here were large and the portions were family style. Definitely something that I wish I had brought friends to and not just come in as a solo diner. However, the staff did not make me feel weird about this at all. I ordered a Lychee Time cocktail and a Rose Rice Cake curry. They brought out an included kimchee plate, which was certainly enough for 4 people. The Rose Rice Cake dish was the same, enough for 2-4 people to share. Both the kimchi and the curry were amazing, I enjoyed both immesely. My only complaint was that my drink was far too sweet, I had to water it down to finish it. When it came time for my inevitable leftovers, the staff had great suggestions for reheating and I was even able to purchase udon to go for the leftovers. Amazing homey experience that I would recommend to anyone in town (preferably with friends!).

While visiting Calgary for work, I had a mad hankering for some Korean food. My meetings got out a…read morebit late so I looked up late night Korean food spots and found Namsan... which was a 26 minute walk from my hotel one way. My craving must have been intense because I didn't even think about it and started my long walk there. The layout of the restaurant is interesting. The bathroom is in the basement, the first floor is a bit small but has some tables, and the second floor has most of the dining area space. Interior decoration was pretty minimal but there was kpop playing and it was a bit dark in there so if you're looking to get a few drinks and Korean food with some friends, this would be a great spot. When I was sat at my table and I looked through the menu, the first thing that popped in my head was that they had quite an extensive menu. From army stew, bibimbap, bulgogi, and what I decided to get Dakgalbi (marinated chicken bbq). The Dakgalbi was really good and marinated well. I wasn't expecting the fried rice at the end to come with it like in Korea which was also really good. The only critique I have regarding the food is that there weren't that many side dishes (banchan) and the lettuce on the side was an extra $5. Service was on point. Thu and the woman server, I forgot her name, worked well as a team to make sure everyone was taken care of even though they had to walk up and down those stairs probably 10+ times just when I was there.

The inside is also rather small, they seat maybe 7 tables each with 2-4 people per table. There's tons of traditional Korean decorations everywhere. The staff is also all Korean and greet you in Korean. There's unlimited high quality purple bean rice. The sides are nothing to write home about other than the macaroni salad. They had an interesting take on it by adding imitation crab - I'm not sure I liked that part. Otherwise it's similar to the chain BCD tofu. The ever popular seafood pajeon (a pancake-like dish) is made extremely thick and therefore isn't crispy at all like pajeon normally is. I don't really recommend this item. Interestingly there's a bulgogi dish with vegetables and noodles (thin, clear). Makes the dish much more hearty. The flavor and quality was pretty good. Seafood tofu soup. They do a great job of making it spicy if you ask. The flavoring has that umami feel. Overall, not overwhelmingly amazing. A bit on the pricey side. They do have a very wide range of menu items and some pretty authentic items that aren't normally regularly provided in Korean restaurants. Service is fine - didn't meet anyone rude or anyone particularly amazing either.
