Omi Japanese Food -  Calgary,

There is nothing particularly remarkable about this restaurant except for the chicken tempura. The chicken tempura is mild, crunchy, and salty, making it the perfect choice for a meal after a stressful meeting. They also serve an affordable and unoffensive pho, which is one of the cheapest options in the downtown food court.

This restaurant in the Suncor food court always has the longest line at lunchtime for a reason. It is fast, efficient, tasty, friendly, and affordable. They offer a variety of options such as teriyaki and fried meats with rice and veggies, as well as made-to-order pho or vermicelli bowls. I asked for extra veggies and no rice with my teriyaki chicken and they filled my box generously, with at least a pound of food in it. The taste was good, not too salty with just the right amount of seasoning, although there was a lingering aftertaste of MSG. The price for a combo was only $7.55 before tax, which is very inexpensive. The staff is friendly, making it a great choice for Asian food.

The lines at this restaurant are always long, but trust me, it's worth the wait. I would choose to never talk to my third best friend again if it meant being able to eat at Omi.
