About the restaurant

Odd Couple is family owned Asian Restaurant. It was born out of the desire to recreate Canadian-Asian favourites in a fun, thoughtful expression of the union between East and West using high quality ingredients. It's good for casual lunch visits, family and friends gather dinner or a simple night bites with delicious drinks.

We enjoyed our anniversary dinner at primal. Food was excellent, as was the service! Our favourites were the bison carpaccio, as well as the braised bison tubetti. A great showcase of Saskatchewan ingredients.

This is the second time we have had our server. I wish I could remember her name, but she remembered us from almost a year ago. She was fantastic, funny and a real pleasure. The food was fast and as expected.
