My friend and I were so excited to eat this type of food. I also have been gluten free for 10 years and couldnât believe there was a gf restaurant in Canmore. It was so disappointing. The ginger beef was dry. The sushi tempura was tasteless- it just had tapioca starch in the shrimp. The salmon was dry and fair- it was over powered by a tamari sauce. The spring roll just had tamari dipping sauce, no peanut or interesting sauce to taste. What a fair meal and as one of our dinners out.

...But my son loved his dish.Perhaps the only ugly location we ate at in Canmore, but we were craving Asian food and it was close, so we pulled into the sketchy parking lot and decided to take a chance.The hostess/waitress was certainly a fan of the food, telling us that the food here was better than at any Philippine restaurant she visited in Toronto or New York (cities with sizeable Philippine populations), and the Thai dishes were excellent. She told us that the restaurant was helping to introduce Canmore to real Asian cuisine.Positives? My son loved his pork dish (forget the name). My daughter was happy enough with her seafood noodle dish, even though she left about half of the noodles. Both tasted okay to me (and at $19 an entree, way overpriced for the size of the portions). My wife said her food was shrug-worthy. Gummy chicken in some bland brown sauce.My pad-thai was simply the worst that I have ever tasted, and I have actually eaten pad thai in pubs in Toronto where they specialize in burgers. Served in a sickly sweet brown sauce - a LOT of brown sauce - it was (despite the waitress' hype) pretty much inedible. The tofu chunks were fine, but the chicken was very chewy. No peanuts, no discernible spicing, thick noodles, all overpowered by sweetness. I ate about a third of it, and our waitress who had pretty much disappeared to serve a large group that came in - can't blame her as the place was understaffed - didn't ask why more than half of our food was uneaten at the end of the meal. If their intention is to introduce "real Asian food" to the residents and visitors to Canmore, I am afraid that people will decide that frozen egg rolls are a better option.Quatro looks like it used to be another type of restaurant. A few Asian posters on brightly painted walls, uncomfortable seating and a complete lack of atmosphere. Which of course wouldn't be an issue if the food wasn't bad. Even the parking lot could use a clean up. Overall, the feeling was that there's either a lack of pride in the place, or a lack of staff.And worst of all - the washroom was filthy. Urine all over the floor, a liquid soap bottle where the soap had clearly been watered down in order to save some cash. The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. But like I said, one of our party liked his meal and another was okay with it, so it wouldn't be fair to give it a 1.But if you want to try "real Asian food" and this is the only option available while you are visiting Canmore, you might want to wait until you are visiting some other place.

We came with a group of 8 people. We enjoyed the food. The ravens were good. Service was moderate because the waiter forgot our orders.

Everything is always fresh, lots of options to pick from immediately or order and wait a few minutes, They are friendly, efficient and options continue to be consistent.Good value though prices are creeping up over several years ago. Still good value for a healthy quick option, or a more lingering meet up with friends or colleagues. Only open from 12 Noon on, through the dinner hour.
