Located in a converted house on International Avenue, Calgary’s only Taiwanese restaurant brings the unique taste of Taipei street food to Calgary along with familiar western Chinese dishes. 303 Fusion Kitchen’s comfortable café-style dining room features delectable dishes you'll find nowhere else in the city.
Proprietor Chris Liao graduated from the SAIT Polytechnic cooking program with the intent of opening a restaurant with his wife Jenni Giang. He missed the food of his native Taiwan and saw a potential niche here. Until 303 Fusion Kitchen opened its doors in June of 2014, the city did not have a restaurant serving Taiwanese food.
It was the tastes of Taipei’s food stalls that Chris envisioned for the restaurant’s menu. Jenni describes the adventure of eating in what is essentially a big, open-air buffet, “You walk down the street and there are all these little vendors where they sell one or two specialty items. You would go and eat everywhere on the street because everything comes in smaller portions.”
