Fu’s Repair Shop
After starting out as a cramped-but-intimate cocktail bar
that felt like the set of a Tarantino-directed Wu Tang Clan
video, Fu’s Repair Shop has quickly become a mainstay
of Edmonton’s food scene. The rapid ascent of Fu’s — as
it’s now mononymously known — has seen it grow into a
veritable force on the city’s culinary landscape, move into
an expanded location on Jasper Avenue and become a
frequent site for some of Edmonton’s vibiest parties and
events, all in the space of just three years.
But despite its growing list of side hustles, Fu’s still
throws down in the kitchen. With an undeniable cocktail
selection that runs the gambit from sweet (Pacific Pearls)
to sexy (Fist of Fu’s) to downright savoury (the Umami
Martini), there’s something for everyone in the group chat,
soup lovers included. The dim sum-inspired menu also
lets you decide whether you wanna eat a little or a lot,
making it the perfect spot to save a faltering date night
or the ideal launchpad for some late-night motives. Some
personal favourites include the Green Onion Cakes, Duck
Tacos and Steamed Soup Dumplings, but frankly, it’s hard
to make a misstep on Fu’s menu.
From its speakeasy vibes to relaxed but tasteful culinary
offerings, Fu’s is the kind of restaurant that makes you feel
cooler by association. It’s hard to see how Top 40 alum
Winnie Chen and the rest of the team at Fu’s plan to top
the restaurant’s already meteoric rise, but if the first few
years are any indication, they’ve definitely got something
cooking. Who knows, maybe it’s time they actually open
a repair shop. – T.N.
