I really like this place. There’s something comforting about Café 100% and reminds me of some of the HK cafes that we have back in Vancouver. Great décor, open space and fast service and not surprisingly, it is also owned by the same people who operate Calgary Court, Sun’s BBQ, Forbidden City etc. My friend ordered the Smoked Salmon and Oyster Rice Pizza. We first had this during YYC Pizza Week(thank you Dale E. for the gift card) and it was unique, but pretty tasty. Great addition to the food scene here in Calgary.

Food is overhyped and service is lacking. Good contemporary place to go for a change of environment. We went on a weeknight after 7:30pm there were only a few tables. Despite not being busy our server messed up a drink order and brought out our last dish after we reminded him that we had ordered it. Needs some strong improvement in service!

The drinks are probably better than the food, but the food is actually not too bad at all. My favourite is the super chilled milk tea. It is super strong and not diluted at all. The lemon iced tea is also a very good choice. I tried the chicken curry with nhan bread and enjoyed it. The Singapore noodles are a little bland, but if you add their XO sauce it tastes great! The desserts are also quite yummy. It’s more of a Hong Kong fusion place so don’t expect it to be 100% authentic. The service is actually good for a Hong Kong Café so I tip the normal amount(not 10% like at other Hong Kong cafes with horrible service where the servers purposely ignore your waves.)

I frequent this place for its convenient late hours(until 1am on Friday and Saturday, and until midnight every other day of the week). It’s a great place to stop by and have a small portion of something warm to end a long day at work or in town. The place oozes modern décor and is generally cozy and calm – not quite as hectic as its almost-neighbouring T-Pot, but it can get busy for the lunch service. At this point, I’m mostly familiar with the late-night service. Past 9pm, their regular menu changes over to the evening tapas menu(there’s also the drink menu), which has choices that are perfect for a bit of comfort food – this includes anything from noodles(wonton, spam and egg, etc.), to wings, to even poutine. I’d like to add that the staff are very friendly and accomodating – in truth I’ve had a few issues with wrong orders and wait times, but each time the staff were quick to remedy the issue. In fact a few dishes I’ve ordered at lunch/dinner have changed over my many visits in terms of taste or sauces, so I think they’re still experimenting a bit with the menu. Lastly, the prices are a bit much in my personal opinion – tapas could be a bit cheaper and some item portions could be bigger, but again, if you’re in for some late night eats, this place will not disappoint a weary soul at 11 in the evening.

Went to get a little snack with my two cousins. When you first walk in you are welcomed with some nice décor that gives a cozy feeling to the restaurant. For my self I got the ramen and the matcha red bean smoothie w/pearls. As for my cousins they both got the honey syrup toast, the strawberry slush and the taro slush w/pearls. For the ramen, the noodles the broth was pretty flavourful but it wasn’t nothing out of the ordinary, and the noodles were cooked to the point where they were soft but chewy(just the way I like it ^.^). For the Honey Toast it came with the side of ice cream and whipped cream. Personally when I saw it it looked way to sweet… And it was *.*, the toast was just drenched in this honey syrup that made it kind of hard to eat because it was so sweet. For the drinks the strawberry slush was so-so, it wasn’t to sweet and it wasn’t to bland(I would get thus again next time ^_^). For the matcha red bean smoothie it was again so-so, I expected the colour to be like a green with little pieces if red beans in it. It wasnt, the colour was this kind if purple. And for the taro slush… ABSOLUTELYGARAGE, from looking at it, it seems it would taste okay… But no, there was no taste to the drink what’s so ever, basically it just tasted like water, I wouldn’t recommended this if you come here. Overall, the service was great and the food was okay, I might come back one day but for sure I will not get the taro slush.

I originally wanted to go to HK café, however, it was incredibly busy, so we decided to go across the street to Cafe100%. The food was decent and I thought the portions were good, however, it is more expensive than HK café. The presentation and atmosphere is lovely and very modern. Service started out very nice but, after we paid cash and left it on the table, one of the servers ran to us in the parking lot and insisted that we paid with«fake cash.» The $ 10 we paid was made in the 1980’s and is old. We tried to tell him that the bill has little marks like any other paper bill and we told him that there is a certain texture to the bill that makes it real, however, he still insisted for us to give him another $ 10 bill. I’m not the one to argue, so I gave him another bill. After, we went to the bank to check if it was real, and it was. After that experience, I will not come back again. Even if the HK café is busy again, I will just wait for a table rather than coming here.

The food is good and so is the décor of the restaurant. With everything being new, the staff seems to be a bit disorganized. The service is good when the place is quiet but as soon as the place fills up to half full, service goes down the drain. They do have enough waiting staff in my view but somehow things are not getting done including servicing the patrons. It’s like they totally forgotten about us. It is unfortunately since I would have given this place a solid 4-star if not for the service.

Interesting New Asian Fusion Restaurant. Very nice décor, comfy ambient. Good services but foods preparation were quite slow. Foods are good to great. Good portion. Very tasty. 2nd time back. Would recommend people to try.

I’ve been anticipating the day Café 100% opened for months now, slow drive bys at night to see how it’s progressed. I’ve been to this place twice since it’s opened and it has yet to disappoint me. The portion sizes are huge, the servers are young and eager to please(full of yummy recommendations), the décor reminds me of a chic steak house and the flavours just burst in your mouth. At first I was a bit weary seeing their large menu with a variety of Asian specialty dishes — but we have tried a lot of menu items and each one has impressed us. Even the drink menu offers some amazing and unique items. I’m so glad this place opened as his area is lacking in the quality foodie places.

The food, well some of it is pretty good. Nothing out of this world. We’ve been here a few times and it’s just been okay because the thing that hurts this place is the service and like most places. My wife and I were sat down and as soon as that happened the servers sat down and decided to neglect the other tables and us, and eat. I understand you need breaks and all, but you’re running a business. Don’t work in the service industry if you refuse to cater to your customers. I won’t go out of my way to come here anymore unless I have too. T-pot across the street has better service than here and that’s not saying a whole lot. Gotta say though they’re good at picking up and clearing the tables, at least. If you want okay food and really ineffective service, then have at it!

very creative food menu and drink menu. I tried the chilled milk tea which is nice to have a drink which is not with ice but is cold. The spicy XO sauce fried orzo taste great. My friend had the daily special and she likes the minced meat with chicken. She tried the drink with tofu and coconut milk, she loves it so much that she almost want to order another one. We then share the Skewer Trio without lamb, we like them and the dish reminds us on the skewer we tried when we are in Malaysia. I sure hope they will serve pineapple with the skewer tho. Anyways, we love the restaurant atmosphere and staff wasn’t that bad as some other reviews. We will sure go back to the place and try many other dishes that we can’t find elsewhere.

Great atmosphere and very modern design in this restaurant! If you go make sure to try the Japanese pizza as well.
