Serving bubble tea, pho, vermicelli, BBQ duck, gelato, and more all in one place, Lucky Supermarket Calgary's "StreetFood Kitchen" is a rare fast food experience that can appeal to a different audience than usual :).
As a place to go grocery shopping, it's not too crowded and has some special items (we got some "snow mango pie" and soursop jam). On average, it might be a little pricier than a store like T&T but they have enough sale items and differentiation to make up for that.
On our visit, we ordered three dishes: the satay beef vermicelli, a rice + three item combo (we chose two types of beef and one pork), and beef rendang.

As you can see, the portions are good at a price of about ~$14 each. Every dish had its own special flavours and was extremely delicious.
The satay beef vermicelli definitely has the most vegetables of any dishes we ordered which gave it a nice freshness. I've never had a vermicelli I didn't like, and this was no exception. The beef was cooked nicely and the sauce was flavourful.
All meats in the three item combo were perfectly cooked. One of the beef styles was very pleasantly juicy and the pork had a crispy skin (my favourite!).
Finally, the beef rendang was so special and miam miam! It was very pleasantly fragrant and had a nice spiciness to it. The flavour was great (I can't speak to it's authenticity) and even as I am writing this, I find myself craving it.
If you're looking for a special shopping and dining experience, check out the area as there is also Seafood City across the street which is a huge Filipino supermarket (a whole 'nother story :).
'Til next miam mam,
Ana
