"Chef Lam Pham keeps Calgarians coming back with his contemporary take on Vietnamese flavors. The top hits from the menu include sate surf and turf (fresh rolls stuffed with beef and shrimp), banh xeo tacos, and his famous char siu sesame doughnut: a tender sesame seed-studded pastry filled with pork, cucumber, pickled carrots, cilantro, and Sriracha aioli. Don’t miss his spin on shaken beef, finished with a red wine and soy butter reduction and served with coconut rice, and the pineapple nuoc cham braised pork cheek. [$-$$]" - Dan Clapson
