Wow Store serves our signature Juicy and Crispy Wow Chicken, Gelato, Freshly baked goodies from our Wow bakery in house, Branded Korean merchandise, Cafe and Restaurant.
My husband and I mango latte And a St Petersburg Earl Grey tea, along with a chocolate croissant, two cakes and ice cream raspberry and chocolate the cakes were delicious The flavours were amazing. The tea was very good. I wish I would’ve asked where they got it at and the mango latte was really good. The chocolate croissant was also so delicious and the ice cream was also delicious. The raspberry and chocolate went so perfect together, and I love that the raspberry ice cream had actual raspberries in it.. Needless to say we skipped on dinner that night because we were so full from the delicious desserts we had. Would definitely recommend wow store and we’re definitely coming back.
Wow Store is an amazing find for lovers of authentic chicken katsu or other authentic Korean and Japanese favourites in the small city of Red Deer. The Korean fried chicken is fantastic. Attentive service, very friendly and efficient.
Had a lunch with families here on Sep 2nd. The food was good. Was thinking mark this place as a must go restaurant at Red Deer. Unfortunately, later on we found unknown fibers in 3 out of 4 glass water cups, which made us so sick, and could not continue with any more food or drink. The waitress/manager could not explain what the fibers are. We were left a word 'sorry' and that's it. They did not offer any solutions. We were igored for about half an hour until we paid in full and left. Very bad customer service. And so worry about their food safety control.
This place is wow. Katsu cooked perfectly. Nice curry. Generous portion. They also have pastries and gelato (not made in-house), including some souvenir items.
Would definitely go again, not a lot of restaurants dare to serve steak Katsu as it's hard to keep the breading after slicing it (especially when rare), but they wow us by slicing it like 4mm thick The little table top grill was hot enough to get a nice sear on them steak slices and provided a good smokey flavor to the dish. Their gelato is also a pretty good after meal dessert option
I’ve been to all Wow stores, cafes, and restos and this location is by far have the best view, service crew, and overall ambience. They got everything that you need from quality pastries, cakes, coffee and desert drinks, Wow donuts, and their famous Wow chicken and Wow Katsu. They also have cool merchandise from pens, socks, notepads, and stuffies!
Wow! Very good food, tastes amazing, great portions, love the variety of options and the variety within each meal. I split the lunch plate with a friend and it was plenty for both of us. The fish and chips are also amazing! They come with sweet potato fries. So many pastries! I want to try them all! The donut was very tasty though it was a bit odd that the icing was only on one side of the donut. I loved the crunch of the icing. Beautiful views out the windows!
I have been there twice and both times the service was excellent. Super friendly and accommodating. The stuffed doughnuts were fresh and filling. We came for dinner on another occasion and had a mixed platter that was plentiful and delicious. Most tables look out into a green space and make the visit relaxing. Lots of items to choose from whether you are looking for baking or a full meal.
Everything is perfect. The food is delicious, the staff are nice and full of smile and the atmosphere is so cozy and homey. And Oh, I got free dessert and it was yummy too! So looking forward to come back. However I wish there was size option for tteobboki, so people that havent tried could order smaller portion with cheaper price. Kid-friendliness: The menu is mostly child friendly, and they have child high chair
The service was top notch. The waiter was very attentive.
First surprise, there was no waiter. Because it is operated as a dessert service, when I first went there, there was no staff to tell me whether I could just sit at the table or if I had to pay to sit. After waiting awkwardly, I asked the staff if it was break time and what to eat while taking a break, sat down at the table, and brought me a menu. Second, the pork cutlet was tasteless. As mentioned above, since we shared a table with customers who only enjoyed desserts, there was no salt or pepper needed to eat the pork cutlet, which was almost without any seasoning. The pork cutlet seasoning on the market seemed to be 10 times more delicious. The amount of sauce was terrible compared to the amount of salad. It was no different from eating raw cabbage. The photos are just nice to look at.
I had an experience eating gyukatsu in Japan and Korea, and their portions of gyu (beef) were really large. I could truly feel like I was eating actual meat. However, here, the gyu was sliced very thin. I hope they serve bigger portions next time so I can enjoy the gyu more.
If you havent went here you should!! We always get the half chicken and cheese and bulgogie fries. At first I was like I am not sure about the fries but now they play my dreams! And dont even get my started on the macaroons.
We loved the croissants and coffee! One of the best places I ve been in Canada
Probably my wifes and I favorite spot in Red Deer. Prices are reasonable, service is great, the food is absolutely delicious and its absolutely adorable inside. Reminds me of cafés you would find back in Korea, Taiwan, Japan.
Tried the chicken sandwich, not great. Old dried out bun, got excited when I saw 2 cutlets in the burger. Immediately dissapointed that it was thinly sliced thigh meat and mostly breading. Green sauce on it was good, fries are good. Too expensive for a tough thigh meat chicken sandwich. Wont order again. Donuts are killer tho.
A must go to when in red deer Highly recommended 5/5
I love the food, they were yummy. One of my favorite place to go and eat to. Been there for more than once already. Good vibes. .Good service. Yummy desserts
Loved our experience here. Large group, everyone had a delicious meal. Love the atmosphere. Food was excellent and desserts are a must.
Omg! Youve got to see this! Amazing place. Great food! Wonderful baking.
I had terrible experience from here
Lots to choose from. Great place for dessert
Store is poorly run. I worked for 3 hours becausw they were short staffed and was thrown to the wolves pretty much. Its not exactly great when people tell you the whole staff quit in the summer. Servers who take orders should be the ones to deliver food, not the ones who have been sitting behind the counter because thats how orders get screwed up. Not sure the store manager should be a store manager because hes running around like a chicken with his head cut off.
Very delicious baking and lattes. Have had a couple coffee dates with friends here, loved both the iced and the hot matcha lattes. The servers are very enthusiastic and friendly. The baked goods are masterpieces - delightful to the eye and the tastebuds!
Great chicken and fantastic doughnuts
Dinner was okay, I find Korean lacking flavors. My first time trying miso soup, and its not for me. The in store bakery is the highlight of the visit. Fancy donuts, torts, and macaroons. Service was poor. We had to ask them to clear our table. Im not sure if this is a cultural thing, or they just dont like to do it.
Very good food, the dish sizes are generous. The staff are very friendly!
Food was excellent but the service was seriously lacking. Waitress mentioned she was new but we had to call for assistance three times (didn t seem to care). No plates were placed prior to food delivery. Had to ask for my drink after it appeared I wasn t going to get what I ordered and when finished had to call over a waitress for clean up and bill payment. Problems that can be managed with training and a more attentive manager.
One cup of rice is never enough for a meal like this!
Somewhat confusing the first time where you order /pay. The staff are friendly and will help you out! Food is tasty and the bakery items are 10/10.
Food and service are awesome. Tried their breakfast benny, fried chicken sandwich, donuts and some pastries. My 9 y/o son gave it 10/10. Must try restaurant if you are in Red deer!
The donuts are next level!! You eat them and all you can say is Wow!! The most delicious treat. So light and fluffy. They truly live up to the name of Wow donuts!!
After returning from our trip to Korea and missing the food in Seoul, we decided to try this place. The food looks very similar to what we had in Seoul, but the taste is a bit different. The dipping sauces and curry were a little too salty for our liking, and while the shrimp in the tempura was fresh, the crispy shell was thick and slightly over-fried. Despite these minor issues, I still recommend this place as it saves you a 10-hour flight from Calgary to Seoul.
Rude waitress. Especially young Korean one. But food was ok.
This was my first time experiencing Katsu. I ordered the assorted Katsu which included breaded pork, breaded shrimp and breaded cheese. I had to Google how to eat it as theres alot going on here! The meal was fantastic and for a fried food was not heavy or greasy in any way. I also had a cheesecake which was one of the best I have had. I highly recommend this place.
WOW has always been my go-to place in Red Deer; I ve recommended it to everyone I know and some of the servers at WOW would recognize me for this. Initially, I have left a perfect review for the place. However, our experience tonight changes this. While eating, I felt a hair-like texture and when I pulled it, a strand was entangled with the rice bits. I would ve thought that it was mine if not for it being a different length and color from my hair. I informed another server about this since our original server was doing something. She took the hair that I had already took out from my mouth which I placed in the napkin She asked where it came from, but didn t apologize for it. We heard them informing the staff behind the counter that there was hair and they concluded to give me a new one. Not even in a concerned manner, but just to get it done with. They then brought out a bowl of rice that I did not want to eat anymore. The manager didn t come to apologize except for our male server who brought us a slice of cake for service recovery, my mom told him that we didn t ask for it but he just provided it to us. We accepted it since he was so kind and he was the ONLY ONE who acknowledged what happened :) Upon paying, the rice was still on our bill, and the 100% discounted cake may appear appealing as a compensation, but honestly, it s not something we asked for and we would ve just asked for the rice to be completely off the bill. In the end, it wasn t the $2 bowl of rice that brought us the downfall of this WOW experience, but the acknowledgement of the management with the incident, the lack of concern to customers, and the incompetent problem-solving that took place.
The Katsu here is incredibly juicy and tender -it truly lives rent-free in my head! Its so good that Ive brought friends along to share in the indescribable deliciousness. Youve got to try it!
Place is amazing! Great price, great food.
Cakes, donuts, cookies - all bakery in general are 10 out of 10. I found pizzas and chicken too oily for my taste. Drinks a little too sweet.
If this is going to be a cafe and restaurant- the restaurant staff need to work on their service. We got dinner. One item was completely forgotten and they never checked on us ONCE.. didn t clear our dirty plates even as we left. The food is 10/10 though.
Wow Store Red Deer started a great selection on brunch menu items!
Great service and the food is amazing
Best Katsu Ive ever had and the atmosphere was amazing. I got the Regular Rosu Katsu and it was very filling. They also have an amazing selection of beautiful donuts, cake and macarons but I was too full to try any. Would definitely come back! Kid-friendliness: Brought my 10 month baby and they had the perfect sized highchair :)
Chicken was super greasy, I did not enjoy my meal at all. Made me feel sick. I would give zero stars if I could.
Mocha chiffon cake is elegant and delicious. This light, airy cake is delicate and packed with flavour. My whole family was very impressed with the looks, taste and quality of this cake. They included candles and cake topper as well which was an amazing added bonus! We will try other items from here!
Excellent food but they dont have the lunch combos anymore. They were so good. Please bring it back. They have similar combos at the dinner time. A bit pricey overall.
Dinner presentation was very well done. Love the food as always. Tasty and filling. Worth it if youre looking at treating yourself or love ones for a dinner out in Red Deer.
Food was oily and cold. It is my second time here. ....
I would give everything ten stars here!!! The staff were so kind, the baked looked so delicious I want to go back and try them all and the setting, view, and vibes were amazing, definitely coming back! Dietary restrictions: All of their baked good have all of the ingredients listed
Excellent service and food and prices were quite reasonable. It was our first visit and we totally enjoyed it. Food came within 15 minutes. Very tasteful and fresh plus a fairly large helping. After we bought a few pastries and some coffees. The pastries were fresh and had excellent taste. The Americano I had was just right. Will be definitely back!
Best pastry Ive had in Red Deer in a long time.
I did not expect this store because I had already visited Calgary Wow. However, this restaurant is different. The food tasted good, and there was excellent customer service. I wanna visit again
Lovely place with amazing food and great service!
Fabulous place to visit. Amazing selection. Super good food.
I wish there were more sandwich options but the food was bomb! Especially the Chicken Katsu!
Food was delicious and the service was great. I can t wait to go back to try some of their desserts. I love the lunch boxes. The amount of food is huge and the prices are great.
Very pleasant, quiet place for lunch. Affordable, quality food.
Its a wonderful little find of a restaurant/bakery. The Korean fried foods (Chicken, pork, beef ect) is amazing and you gets lots of it. Then once your done eating that wonderful meal you can also enjoy either cakes and pastries or Gelato as they have well over 15+ different flavors.
Delicious food. Cant wait to go back
I have ordered from here 3 separate times, and all I can say is people need to try this place out! The food is unbelievably delicious. The pastry are better than any other place in Red Deer. The prices are actually reasonable, and given this current inflated economy its very welcomed. Overall, i will continue to be back, at this point almost weekly. I know Im gushing but you just dont see quality to price ratio like this, and in Red Deer of all places. Support this business please!
Nice place
The garlic bread here in the bakery section hits so good. Creamy condensed milk sauce with a hefty amount of garlic. I have yet to try the doughnuts but the macarons are phenomenal and I loved the condensed milk baguette I tried, absolutely delightful place. Can t wait to try more. My only complaint as a bigger girl is the tables and chairs aren t the most accessible so the patio chairs have been a nice touch
Amazing place , highly recommend
We had a great time here, the food are delicious, cozy and very welcoming place to eat. The staff are very approachable and helpful especially are server named Sev, good job guys.
The chicken was delicious! So many pastries and cakes to choose from as well.
This place is great honestly.. food is always great and so is the atmosphere. The only this that bothers me the most is that their tables are so small... that even when me and my boyfriend orders whatever we order the table isnt big. They never check up on you while eating nor when you need to asked for the bill the staff are never available even when they are not busy. Great food but terrible service. That Filipino lady is always loud and noisy overpowering the music that plays in the restaurant.
Our server Daniel was very helpful and friendly. He was doing a great job with such a full house on Father s Day. Great service. The food was wonderful, fresh and arrived quickly.
Had the dine in experience. I enjoyed the Katsu sampler. Enjoyed everything!
True to its name. WOW upon my first bite of the vanilla strawberry cake. Prices are really good, I have no problem paying alittle more for top notch quality. Thanks will see you again. Food
Very busy but worth the wait!!
The beat wow store in Alberta. We do go to Calgary too. And this place is the best one. Service and the breads are the best! Food : 5/5
Food portions are huge and delicious! Definitely will come back!
Very friendly staff, nice clean place and delicious plates! Blueberry doughnuts are the must have!
Excellent food and service. Had the Katsu Curry Don, and Tako Yaki. Food was very flavorful and came out quickly. Servers were great and attentive. Will be back again to try more :) Food : 5/5
The food is absolutely amazing. We got two different kind of chicken, and the portions were very generous. Everything is so fresh! The green grape refresher is the best drink Ive ever had in my life. They were extremely busy and still were giving great service. Highly recommended visiting! We will be back many more times to come.
Husband and I came here for lunch hearing so many good things. The seating is lovely looking on to the green space. The menu has some great items to choose from. Hubs chose the Ebi Udon and said the broth was really good. Its a filling soup...comforting. I had one of the lunch specials, Gangchun chicken box. I went with the sweet glaze but it is still a little spicy. Im wimpy when it comes to spice and I could handle it in small doses. The rice and cabbage helped cool things down. It was soooo gooood. Go here, try it, and enjoy!
Fun unique restaurant with contemporary food and desserts. Great view with great service
Awesome products ! Very tasty
My first experience with WOW was amazing and delicous. tried ordering Chicken today for lunch for my workplace, YOU DONT HAVE ANY CHICKEN!! How do you have a restaurant with CHICKEN in the name and you are out of it??!!?? This doesnt make any sense! also, we tried to order for delivery apparently, Chicken can not be delivered, it isnt even on the menu. I tried to call to have a menu emailed to me and that wasnt possible. i was referred to a menu that a customer took a picture of on google. I was really excited for this restaurant when it opened, i left my original review up underneath this. Super disappointing to have this happen. dont know if ill be back, it is hard to promote your restaurant to others when you are out of food. The chicken is amazing!! very juicy and crispy at the same time. the little gift shop was interesting to browse thru while waiting for the food to cook. we also had donuts for dessert. they were so good! it is about time Red Deer got a restaurant like this. The only negative i would have about this place is the seating. it is not comfortable at all. food is great though!!
Had the pastries and they tasted stale! Wasted money
Bought some pastries too, and the Dalgona Latte is pretty good.
The first time we were here was when it opened the staff was all over the place (but we were patient with them as they were new) when we finally got our order the waitress dipped her finger on my curry when we asked for a new and they said that they will make a new but never did we waited 30mins then we asked about it and thats the only time they did something. The second time we came we ordered 6 breads and apparently you get a free drink but we didnt get any. The third time we came we got bread again and we finally got a free drink and when the lady was explaining to us what drinks we could get she kept pointing out the last 3 drinks which had strawberry latte in it but apparently that is not a part of the free drink and she still continued to point out the drinks on where we could pick and she was still pointing out the 3 drinks and then she started yelling at us while still pointing out the strawberry latte that you cant have. We never got an apology from her for yelling at us. For being a customer base store you should know how to handle stuff and be patient with the customers.
eileen served me and she was very professional and friendly. i also noticed that she demonstrated leadership and showed initiative by resolving a customer conflict through patience and communication. very impressed!
I like the environment there, good view, nice staffs, tasty food. Will go back for sure!
Great venue to enjoy Korean style food, desserts, drinks and general trinkets.
A great addition to the Red Deer food scene! We tried the donuts (vanilla cream, lotus and salted caramel), croissants (chocolate, almond, matcha), the macaron set and other sweets, and everything was fantastic and exceptionally well priced! In addition to the bakery, there is an asian stationary and small goods market, and a korean café. We didnt try any of the savory food, but I can only imagine it is good. Cant wait to come back!
I hate doing reviews on places I ve never actually used, but in a way, this is the reason I m posting the review. I did VISIT this location. That s as far as they let me proceed. This might be a long-ish review, so the tl;dr version is that if the hours of operation are posted, please don t lure people in and somehow be partially closed. I know a lounge will do it, but they re a lounge. They re still serving alcohol in a lounge setting. Better yet, have a free standing Kitchen is closed sign at the entrance so people like me don t blow 10+ minutes on time wasted. I have enough problems with anxiety in poorly laid out chaotic public spaces, so not knowing what the hidden hours are of a place will not go over well with people like me. Now, what earned this two-star review? It s simple. I ve heard so much hype about this place, and I made sure I was hungry when I showed up at 8pm (they close at 9pm). My first impression was that of mild confusion. So it s a hybrid market/bakery/restaurant? Ok, so I guess kind of like Sunterra? This took place on Thursday, February 22. I was quickly confused by where I was supposed to order. The first till you see doesn t really allow for much of a line to start, without cutting off access to the rest of the store. There were around 10-12 people sitting at tables but there were at least half a dozen people scattered around the display case looking in every direction possible. The layout is not conducive to a good work flow. I mean, yes, there are two different till stations, one at each end of a massive display case, which implies two points to order. And being the last hour of the day for them, I understood why one till would be closed. No problem there. My anxiety did start ramping up when people were randomly milling past me both ways while I was trying to read the menu boards. But I briefly stood at the proper till while a girl toiled away at something without making eye contact. I decided to let that go, as maybe she was stuck taking AND making orders. So I took the time to familiarize myself with the menu. I had heard good things about their chicken sandwich, so that s what I was going to order. But it s one of those menus that is on a TV screen and keeps changing, so that created some more anxiety for me. Furthermore, I m not a sequoia as far as physical height is concerned, so given the height of their display case and the fact that they stacked takeout boxes on top of the display case, coupled with how low their menu screens are positioned, it was actually really hard to get a clear view OF the menus. I finally spotted the chicken sandwich on the menu and then started looking around for where I could order. I saw people loitering around near the open till but not standing in line (frankly it felt a bit like chaos to me), but after a moment or two I found myself standing in line to order. 30 seconds or so passed before another employee on my side of the counter approached asking if they could help me or if I had a pickup I was waiting for. I simply said I hadn t ordered anything yet. So she got the girl behind the till to help. I asked about their chicken sandwich, and she said the kitchen was closed. Being someone who does my best to be non-confrontational, I just turned and left. But it was at that point that I fully failed to understand the point of this place. I left with a very heightened sense of anxiety, not helped by the fact that I had just finished work and was hungry. Maybe in a year or two if it s still open, I ll take another run at it.
Food is very good, left very happy
Best Bulgogi in Town!! We were searching in Google for some korean and japanese restaurants near us and we stumbled upon Wow Store, which we first thought only sells baked goods and donuts. And to our surprise, their food is veryyyyy good! The bulgogi, though an unexpected find in a bakery, impressed us with its tender beef and rich marinade. Paired with rice, it provided a satisfyingly meal. Equally delightful was the katsu curry, featuring crispy breaded cutlets atop a bed of rice, smothered in a flavorful curry sauce. Definitely worth a try, we will surely come back
Awesome coffee and pastries. Croissants were fresh and delicious. Friendly staff. The only thing I wasn t enjoying it s the smell of the kitchen. We walked out smelling like we were frying meat for hours. But that s me. Overall great addition to Red Deer! Food
A fantastic lunch. Katsu was tasty and well sized for.a great tasty lunch. The food looks and tastes great. I will be baxk Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for wheelchairs
Pretty good asian food for a reasonable price. Go there for lunch and try their steaks. Overall great experience so far!
Love the place! So aesthetically pleasing! From ambiance to food, it is a must try! Challi and Andrea best servers ever!
My first visit was for a lunch with my coworkers. When I walked in, I immediately noticed the calm, clean, relaxing atmosphere with piano music playing in the background. They had a fantastic view from the many windows that overlooked some trees outside. (Perfect for a date night) There were lots of choices on the menu. The portions were large. You definitely wouldnt go hungry! Honestly two people who eat on the lighter side could share a menu item just fine. I took home enough to eat for lunch the next day. They also had some specialty/interesting drinks to choose from. The servers were kind and knowledgeable. You can also buy baking that is individually packaged to enjoy at home that is quite delicious! It is all displayed very nicely with everything clearly labeled. Additionally, they have a few Asian items (toys bags socks pens stickers etc.) that were displayed on shelves and available for purchase. The bathrooms were clean. I went at lunch time on a Saturday and I had to park quite far from the door. Id recommend dropping your passengers off first and looking for a parking spot after. That way not everyone has to walk. I am looking forward to returning with my fiancé! Parking: I had to park quite a far way away from the door. If youre driving with a few people I would drop them off at the door so only the driver has to walk. Wheelchair accessibility: All of the chairs are easily moved. You will have no issues, even if you have a larger wheelchair.
Good food, good service
I was recently in for lunch - the food was really not good and the service was horrible. There needs to be twice as many staff working
Great new addition to the red deer food scene, nice place from Calgary finally opened up here, chicken is incredible but a tad pricey, just be aware of the prices 9/10
Delicious coffee and desserts great place in Red Deer definitely worth to go.
Absolutely fantastic food. Doesnt seem too exciting when you walk in, but they make some of the best katsu Ive ever had.
Nothing in town quite like it. Excellent chicken, really great bakery choices and a lovely view while you eat. Very fast service.
Great place to go
Soany delicious choices! His did I not come here sooner?
Personally, I was surprised at how poor the service was before even evaluating the taste of the food. Regardless of whether they are Korean or a foreigner, there is not even the usual greeting when a customer comes in. I thought it must have been too busy that day, but I was impressed by the lack of greetings at all during my subsequent visit. There was very little explanation or guidance about the food, and none of the staff tried to help with payment while waiting to pay. The food isnt as good as other places, and there doesnt seem to be any reason to spend money and time on a place where the service is low...
I regret going there expecting a high rating. Considering the unfriendliness of the staff, I felt that proper staff training was not being provided. (I am writing this after my second visit) My kids liked fried rice, so we ordered it, but there was a lot of seasoning that you can buy at the supermarket. It tasted like a cheap store-bought cake. Unlike the Wow Bakery cake I bought in Calgary, it had a very unique (strange) scent and the fruit was all dead. (Its not that its not worth eating. However, the taste and quality are poor compared to the price haha.) Please consider stopping by Red Dare~
when my friends and i went there the service was great and the food was okay. the server was extremely nice and helpful because it was our first time there. she made sure that we got water and my utensils right away. although, it sucked to see the server do everything by herself with no help. it looked like she was attending to all the tables all at once. she wasn t able to refill our water for a while but i completely understood the situation. all the food also came one by one and not all at once, which shouldn t be a big problem if it came relatively close with each other. we got the tteokbeoki first and then our next dish which was the chicken about 10-15 minutes after the tteokbeoki. mind you we had a party of 4. i wish wow all the best because it has so much potential to be a great resutarant/café, its just that the management is a bit substandard.
The server that helped me was named Rina. Her smile was very beautiful and she was very friendly towards me and my group. She was very helpful as problems were quickly and efficiently handled.
Nice place, but they were out of donuts when we went there which was very disappointing because my son and his family told me that they were sooooo good.
I really want to love this place but after a couple of meals and desserts, I dont know we will come back for a third time. It is a lot of fatty food and taste in their cuisines, but surprisingly, the beautiful adorned desserts really lack in flavor. The staff are excellent, and as commented before the environment is warm and inviting and clean. Im just not sold on the menu
Clean and relaxing atmosphere. Nice views from their seating areas of the wooded areas nearby. The food is excellent, and portions are great for price. Will for sure be returning!!
Great service and nice selection of baked goods and cakes.
It was an amazing experience! The food is fresh and delicious
Food is good and big servings.
Food...delicious. Service...wonderful. Will be back to try more dishes and pastries.
So good! Service was amazing!
Enjoyed service and variety
The service was prompt during a bustling lunch hour. We were served miso soup promptly, and the main dishes followed within just a few minutes. The staff was exceptional, consistently checking in to ensure we had everything we needed.
The service was very pleasant and positive. It is nice to have it here in Red Deer now, no need to go to Calgary.
Delicious!
Very good food
Good place for food and gatherings!
Customer service was poor. Servers on dinner time of February 1, 2024 were not even smiling. You wouldnt feel you are welcome to this place. The way orders were presented by the lady servers you could feel they were irritated and dont feel like serving guests. Trying to observe when we were there, you can never hear even a single greeting from any of the staff to all who comes in and leave the place.This is a service oriented business, customer service is one of the main priorities should be. Glasswares were dirty, still with water marks, not even polish to dry. This was my second time here , I thought would have a better experience but again disappointed. First time, service was so slow, it took us 40 minutes for a take out order and wasnt even informed it would take a little longer than usual. While waiting the guy by the till who arranged the coffee cups were holding the cups by the rim, so unsanitary. Team needs more training on most aspects of the operations. During busy periods you could see that they are rattled. Foods are good though.
Good customer service, would recommend to everyone!
The food, the staff, and the ambience is amazing! I keep coming back for more.
Cool place, good food, cute atmosphere, and awesome Stanton art items!
Nice atmosphere and the food came out quickly and it was good
I absolutely love this bakery, Tiramisu and coffee absolutely great!
What a cute place! They have lots of cute things for sale, a cafe, baked goods, and food. It has plenty of seating. The prices are very reasonable as well!
Great amount of serving! Very welcoming and friendly associates. Will come back again!
Beautiful in every aspect
Eating here is a higher pleasure.
Speechless. Vibes are A-1. Food is so rich that I feel like royalty. I feel like I ve been transported to a tropical paradise and no longer in Alberta. Instant favourite.
Felt like I was transported to a different city. All the vibes!
Me and my family went there for the third time but the food tasted different every visit. We had to wait every time for 40 minutes just to get our food. The King Katsus sauce was too sweet so we decided to just bring the rest home. However nobody ate it. The dishes were also pretty dirty and they didnt clean the tables neatly enough. We would of went there a couple of more times if the food got any better but since it didnt we never went there again. Its also not worth it waiting 40 minutes.
Excellent food and atmosphere
Every foods are delicious.esp the gelato
Parking: Great experience Food
Horrible place with ridiculous prices. Wont be back.
I would recommend this establishment! The atmosphere, music, staff, store, bakery and food is top notch! Definitely coming back!
The food here is always so so good and really fresh! My personal favourite is the Bulgogi and i would recommend it to anyone! I ve also tried the Hire Katsu and it IS DELICIOUS!!! It literally melts in your mouth! The environment is always so calming and clean and the staff is always super nice and accommodating! If you re thinking of coming here, definitely do it!!
This place is so nice and homey, there food is delicious and so warm, I definitely recommend.
Fantastic food, friendly service with a clean quiet atmosphere.
We love WOW! It s about time Red Deer got a place like this!
Super busy during a Friday lunch, the food variety was good although I was unfamiliar with some of it. The bakery part had some delicious desserts, but I was far too full from my meal. There is also a small gift shop with some fun items.
Love this place, great for lunch or dinner. Their Dalgona Latte, donuts and macarons are also amazing!
Good food and kind staff
friendly staff. great food of choices
Food is really good, the atmosphere is really comfortable and the service is amazing!
Very cozy place, welcoming staff and great desert options. Theres even a little gift store inside.
The store is very aesthetic and has such a vibe!
Really nice food, gelato is so yummy, great service
The taste is just as delicious as other Wow Chicken. However, even though it is still in the early stages of opening, the server service is disappointing. There were a lot of employees and they seemed to be busy, but it was difficult to meet them when I needed them. Also, the bakery, restaurant, and retail products were not well divided into sections, so it looked a bit cluttered compared to the nice interior.
Wilma is great , staff over all 5/5 and the food is amazing!
Highly recommended. Good food , quality , friendly stuff specially ate wilma shes so amazing.. im surely come back again..
Food was superb
Really good
I was eating the cookie I bought yesterday and found out theres a MOLD inside
We only had coffee, and pastries, but they were some of the best we ever had. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.
We walked in, it s not exactly clear what you re supposed to do. Nobody greeted us, or said anything. We looked around for how to order and left. Food : 3/5
good, and polite customer service, yummy food!!!
Food was quick served and had lots of serving! Great atmosphere.

Food was amazing! Prices are decent and the portions are huge. Will definitely be back!
What appeals to many people about this store is their baked goods, tasty dishes and aesthetic of the cafe. Yes, this *is* a cafe. My sister and I came over to check it out as a first timer and boy does it sell well. The interior is exactly how many of the people posted their photos: modern, clean and simple. There isnt any fancy gimmick behind it, no weird arcade machine, just a good chatting space with savoury food to choose. The food is something that isnt easily achieved and these are done with grace. We grabbed three baked good products and left since we arent focusing on their chicken or cutlets. The donuts (blueberry and lemon) and the macaroons are soft and smooth. More specifically, the donuts have a great flavour and isnt overpowering. The macaroons have a nice crunch to it without making your teeth retaliate or get that one feeling when youre biting aluminum foil. The flavours, of course, are also excellent. Mind the prices however, as they range from $4 to $20 via macaroon set or $40+ for the cake(s). No really, they are that expensive. I wouldnt say this is comparable to Tim Hortons because who would pay $30 for a dozen? WOW store is that type of experience location and, again, it shows. The service, well my sister backed me up here. She got to meet one of her friends working here and let me tell you, Im sure their service is going in the right direction. You can make a macaroon set (of six) your own way and you can experiment with your dishes. Theyll be happy to serve as along as youre the happy and friendly one. [Please dont be rude, you ruin your life that way.] I would give it a 4.7 for the overall rating. P.S. Theres a bunch of Pokemon / Hello Kitty stuff in the store too. Parking: The parking lots are shared with Shiso, so plan ahead. Theyre single slot and dont have a real way of facing a direction. Kid-friendliness: Again, theres some Pokemon stuff that kids could grab. Its a cute hustle that WOW store tells because its saying they are bright and pretty.
Awesome!
Perfect food and atmosphere! If you come to Red Deer again, definitely go to the Wow Store!
I had king katsu here and the tasty was very soft, sweeten and creamy, which I have never experienced. I loved it. This place has the best katsu in Canada, I guarantee.

I am surprised how cozy and amazing this restaurant is. The place is so so clean and relaxing. WOW is a great find! Everyone should try their food and cakes! It really taste amazing. I have been to 4 different provinces in Canada and tried a lot of food all over the place, and honestly I really fell inlove with the food in here. Koodo s to their crew named Wilma, she is nice and friendly, she made us feel home. Thank you for your service!
Nice clean atmosphere, great food and service. I like the concept with a little store to buy cute things and their bakery selections, and you can also sit and dine in to eat their delicious food. Their food portion is huge and good price too. Will be going there often.
Good fried chicken, katsu, udon, pastries and desserts. Authentic Japanese Restaurant in Red Deer with a cute little store.
Amazing Restaurant and Bakery! Definitely worth the money if you like Korean Food and tasty baked goods!
