"This lively basement speakeasy in Calgary’s Chinatown whisks guests away to Hoi An, Vietnam, with worn window shutters and fabric lanterns. That’s where owners Nhi Tran and Tanner Ennis gathered inspiration before opening for business. The food, prepared by Tran’s mother, includes less common Vietnamese dishes such as banh xeo and bo luc lac (shaken beef). A nice touch to the menu here is an option for diners to have “what the kitchen is having” on any given night, which can lead to plenty of delicious surprises. [$$-$$$]" - Dan Clapson
