Jacob Ying Wai, known as Chef Jacob, began cooking at age 10 by preparing family dinners and shopping at a local Hong Kong market. He trained at the Hong Kong (China) Culinary Institute, worked through Japanese, Italian, French, and American cuisines, and holds qualifications from Hong Kong, Germany, and Canada, including a Red Seal. After moving to Calgary in his mid-20s, he opened Second Son in 2024 to showcase approachable modern Chinese food.

The restaurant is beautiful inside and out. Having been to HK several times, I honestly felt the urge to jump on a plane again.The menu is small and simple delivering incredible quality. We had two dishes - Lo Mein and something else (refer to photo). Both were delicious.The food wasn't too salty and the meat melts in your mouth. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant for date night or a night out with friends. The prices are reasonable as the food servings are large.NOTE: we tried booking a table online and it showed most timeslots were full. Since we live close, we decided to walk over and see if anything was available and the restaurant was nearly empty. Don't trust the online booking. We mentioned this to our server.
We were greeted by Jordan when we arrived. She was absolutely lovely. The restaurant is very well decorated, and you feel like you have stepped back in time. We loved the televisions at the bar as well as the milk crate seats and the concrete wall effect. We both ordered the beer on tap, which was from Trolly Five. Highly recommend the Jasmine beer lager. Both beers were phenomenal. We ordered two meals. The sweet and sour chicken and the chow mein. Everything was excellent. Our server Brennen made the experience unforgettable. He was fun, personable, knowledgeable, and the service was impeccable. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back for sure. Make sure to try the soy sauce 😂
Stepping into this restaurant feels like being transported back to 1990s Hong Kong. The char siu (HK-style Chinese BBQ pork) and siu yuk (whole roasted suckling pig) were both outstanding — perfectly seasoned and executed. The service was attentive and friendly; our server even asked if we were from Hong Kong, which was a lovely touch — it’s refreshing to meet someone who is culturally aware. We will definitely be returning.
The portion of the meals were great for sharing.We got the tuna tartare and stewed beef rice.I liked the tuna tartare, it was flavourful and smoky.The beef was soft, and delicious but I feel like there was too little meat and bok choy for that amount of rice.Overall, we had a great time! I’d like to try the cocktails next time 😉
Great little place with thoughtful Hong Kong decorations. Reminds me of home. The food is a nice new fusion style. Taste good and BIG portion. We came to check this place out before an evening event at the Saddledome and it was perfect. Just walked over to the event after. Will come visit again and try other food and drinks. Gotta say the fried beef brisket was really good, strongly recommend.
