From the owner


I never really gave much thought to being GF. As a Chef, it does have some creative challenges. But my son Joel was dead set on being GF from day one. So we sourced, tested, and tested again until we were happy with the results that bring authentic flavors of Asia to Calgary and most importantly to a group of folks that get a bum wrap sometimes as chefs can't be bothered to go that extra mile. We will ensure that we remain diligent in keeping our restaurant safe for you to enjoy great food. Our catering options are also GF so that graduation, a wedding or just Saturday night, we have you covered. Joel and Jeff

So excited to find this amazing 100% gluten free, dairy free restaurant. Love the location. Not being local to Calgary, it’s a VERY easy stop on the way out of the city. After a recent trip to SE Asia, this food hit the spot perfectly. Both my husband and I had incredible meals. We ordered the Pork Belly Meal and the Singapore Fried Noodles with chicken and a fried egg. Both dishes were packed full of flavor. The pork belly was cooked perfectly with a crispy exterior and the gravy was literally the best I’ve ever had (not even kidding - I usually skip gravy because I’m very picky with sauces). The Singapore noodles were unmatched. Needless to say, this place blew our minds. I’m already daydreaming about my next visit. Thank you Expat Asia for making incredible food.

Went to Expatasia for Xmas meal with my staff - two of us have celiac disease. The food was amazing, service was excellent and everything was gluten-free. One of my favourite Calgary food stalls. They also offer a lot of frozen options that you can take home. Prices reasonable too.

My first time at Expat Asia! I ordered the Singapore Rice with pork and added a fried egg, and got the Tiger Cauliflower to share. The Singapore Rice was a little too spicy for my liking, but who cares because I can’t remember the last time I had something cooked to such crisp perfection than the pork and those cauliflower bites… oh my… SO GOOD!!! Also, the sauce on the cauliflower was mouth-watering!!! I’ll definitely be going back to try more dishes! Fringe benefit: this restaurant is located in a super lively and fun local market!

FYI: They said that they were certified gluten-free since the Canadian Celiac Association came and checked them out and said they were happy with what they were doing. Super!!!

Totally GF and delicious. I had the burnt ends and the spicy soy chicken wings. Both were amazing, and the wings might have been the best I’ve had. So crispy and juicy!

Oh my word. So. Delicious! This restaurant is 100% gluten free. I had the Korean Baby Back Ribs and they are to die for! Coated in rice flour so they are slightly crispy on the outside. Generous helping of Kimchi. Flavours are true to the real thing. This place is located within the super fun market in Avenida Village. Definitely will be back!
