May is Asian Heritage Month

Asian-owned businesses are an essential part of 4th Street’s vibrant, diverse community — and we’re proud to highlight some of the incredible spots you can explore right here in the heart of 4th Street.

Make your mark (or remove one) at Ego Tattoo and Tattoo Removal, Calgary’s first studio with gold-standard laser technology for precision and care.

A local legend for 25 years, Rajdoot has been serving up aromatic Indian dishes with a warm welcome. Dine à la carte or dive into their popular lunch and dinner buffets.

Exciting news! Kokocups has just opened its doors on 4th Street, bringing authentic Korean street food to the neighbourhood. From savoury tteokbokki and spicy jajangmyeon to crispy fish-shaped bungeo-bbang, it’s your new go-to for bold Korean flavours.

Vin Room, Canada’s largest wine bar, offers 109 wines by the glass and seasonal shareable dishes — ideal for date night or catching up with friends.

New to the block, Narikatsu is Calgary’s first dedicated katsu house, specializing in crispy Japanese cutlets. Choose from tender pork or chicken katsu served over rice, in curry, or as a sandwich. With hearty broth-based udon and their signature Katsu Sando, it’s comfort food with a crispy twist.

Cool down or perk up at Royaltea, home to an extensive menu of Asian-style teas. Try their signature milk tea with boba, fruity slushes, or creamy cheese foam-topped creations.

For dessert, head to Abbey’s Creations for handcrafted ice cream in both classic and Filipino-inspired flavours like Halo Halo, Calamansi, and Ube Cheesecake. It’s a sweet stop worth making
