Anju Restaurant & Lounge

Prior to opening Anju 2.0 I took my GM and 2 sous chefs to LA to explore more traditional Korean cuisine & culture. K-town LA is basically the 2nd Seoul. We ate some amazing Korean food, drank as much soju that we could & by fluke met @ridingshotgunla & José Andrés. Can’t think of 3 better people to have opened Anju 2.0. Thank you @turnerincalgary #ScottBeatton & @sterlingcummings. #10YearsofAnju #bestie #leafy #chip #stirrups

It’s amazing that your visit was the catalyst to you starting blogging! Thank you for the support all of these years! #Repost @hittingthesauceyyc. ・・・ My favourite memory of @anjurestaurant was my graduation day back in 2011. I treated my family and friends to a feast as a thank you for their love and support. The service, food and overall experience was so amazing, it inspired me to start blogging via #hittingthesauceyyc. Thank you Anju! 🥰. . .... #10yearsofanju #anju #anjuyyc #calgaryeats #yyceats #yyc #yycnow #memories #calgaryrestaurants #calgaryfoodbloggers

Anju wouldn’t be what it is today without all your talent, hard work & dedication! Love you Bestie!!! #Repost @turnerincalgary. ・・・ @anjurestaurant ...We’re do you even start? Okay here’s goes. #anjutop10 favourite memories. 10. “Welcome to Andy’s smoke shack. We’ll smoke you the fuck out”... 9. “Theres the problem right there. There’s cardboard in the phalange” 8. “Stop. Drop. Gotta get my bimbimbap. Stone. Bowl. Celebrity chef Roy Oh”. 7. Every offsite we ever did and the 10 trips we’d have to make because we forgot everything. 6. “I can’t open the dining room today. Roy and Shane are still sleeping at 303” 5. The 1 year party. I think there’s still a video of me rapping out there somewhere 🤔 4. Laughing so hard at Big Jay getting hit by a car the our stage never came back. 3. My going away gift of 2 years worth of staff gossip 😬 2. Getting to run one of the best restaurants in the city with some of the best staff 1.

Thanks for sharing some great memories! Miss you so much Katie! #Repost @k8tiej_a. ・・・ My favourite parts of Anju. I never knew Anju 1.0 but 2.0 were sure some good days. . .... . My most memorable favs for #10yearsofanju as follows: 1. The Canada goose (its an inside joke.. 👩‍🌾) 2. Billy T. (It's a close tie with position no.1) hope you are successful and happy wherever you are my friend. 🦄 3. Anju about town. Gold medal plates, Bentley etc 💎 4. The dining room lights that took forever to arrive. (Worth the wait) 💡 5. The staff. The Originals. You guys breathed life into it. 👯 6. Chicken two-chains #sorrynotsorry 🍗 7. Working the pass on Friday nights 🔥🔥 #addtaco 8. Management. If you want to see why a business is so successful, look from the top down. ❤️thanks for the lessons in leadership and life. Congrats on 10 years Anju. Thanks for being such a cool milestone in my life. The reason I want to return to the city ❤️🌸 @anjurestaurant @roy_ohhhhhh @turnerincalgary

On December 31, 2008, Anju opened its doors with a vision to create a dining experience honouring our homeland and to bring Korean cuisine into the mainstream.
We set up shop in an obscure, easy to miss, tiny, little house with 50 seats on the west side of downtown. Before too long, we outgrew it and found ourselves on the corner of bustling 17th Ave. and 4th St. SW.
It wasn’t always easy, we’ve had a lot of ups and downs – but through it all, we could always count on you, o...ur loyal guests and friends.
As we look back on an extraordinary decade of Anju, help us ring in the new year and celebrate the memories we’ve created along the way.
4 course dinner with welcome bubbles - $75 per person Limited menu featuring OG Anju favourites starting 11pm. 1/2 price soju all night. Book your table today at anju.ca.
