Vic's Hong Kong Style Cafe - Calgary

The food at this restaurant was delicious and served hot. We all agreed that we would definitely return here!

My friend Office Dad informed me that the owner of Vic's HK has brought on board David Lo, a chef from Vancouver. According to Office Dad, it is quite a feat to persuade a chef to relocate from Vancouver to Calgary. Calgary lacks the large Asian community that Vancouver has, and the cold weather can be a deterrent for many Asian expats. In honor of Chef Lo and my own move to Calgary around the same time, I'll be listening to "Paper Planes" by M.I.A. for this post.

I believe that this Chinese restaurant provides the best service that I have experienced. The servers are friendly and quick. I have not come across any rude waiters like I have at other Chinese restaurants. The menu is extensive and the portions are large for a reasonable price. Their specialty is barbecue, and I particularly enjoy their BBQ pork and BBQ duck, although they sometimes sell out in the evening.

The BBQ pork here is probably the best in town. Succulent, flavorful and tender. If you have $10 to spend on a lunch this is the place to be. Their takeout combo has extremely generous portions.

Every time I go there, I order the BBQ Duck Noodle Soup and HK Milk Tea/Coffee. Their food never fails to disappoint, reminds me of the Chinatown in Victoria that I grew up in. Service is quick and prompt, none of that 'coming-by-your-table-while-mouth-is-full ' and I like it that way. Lunch time is super busy but you 'll find a table quickly. If you like food at a reasonable price, great portions, and bbq meat then this is the place to go!
