Pure Modern Asian Kitchen - Calgary

Ordered a bánh xèo tacos here and as a Vietnamese, I 'd say the chef did a great job reinventing this traditional dish into something very unique. The curry flavor and cripsy taco were transformational, and I love it.In terms of pricing, it is reasonable for a downtown location, but the portion is quite small.

Really good food nice polite staff! Very loud hip hop music in the background. Very strange choice of music I must say!

Amazing take on Vietnamese and other Asian dishes using an inspired pallet of flavours and textures. I have loved everything I've tried here but if I had to choose one thing? Definitely the Vietnamese submarine style sandwich in a Chinese Sesame donut, pictured below, as the destination dish.

I have been to Pure Modern Asian Kitchen and Bar several times and always am keen to go back for more. If only I lived in Calgary. The food is excellent with creative combinations and complex flavours. Simple setting. Super clean.

We have tried this place in several occasions and were pleased by the quality and originality of the food. The classical Vietnamese dishes are well reinvented. It is also a nice spot for chicken wings. We reconnected with their cuisine at the Taste of Calgary Festival. The sesame donuts with spicy chicken or pork are the perfect examples to showcase their new take on a classic street food bite.
