    Steamed fresh tilapia and pea tips sautéed in garlic. Excellent!

    One of the best surprises in Edmonton, AB! Authentic Chinese food with live fish options which came highly recommended by the waiter staff. I'm glad I opted for the spicy steamed fresh tilapia and pea tips. Excellent!

    Beef Rice Noodle and Beef Tripe
    Rose W.

    I was craving beef flat rice noodles recently and I decided to order it from this restaurant for takeout. I was quite satisfied with the pricing and portion I received. For $16, I got a giant portion of the noodles that filled the whole box. The noodles were delicious and comparable to other Chinese restaurants. I also ordered beef tripe. It was was yummy and flavoured well. The only thing that may deter me from ordering from this place again would be the wait time. It was estimated I would get my food within 20-30 minutes but I waited for about 45 minutes.

    Mixing the peaches & cream sauce with Shrimp.

    Got the Amazing Wok special for 2 plus and an order of shrimp with peaches. The special was a great price for what you get. The only thing was the the ginger beef was a-little hard. Everything tasty and fresh. I did find the shrimp with peaches was very steep for price 20.99. Friendly delivery service if you spend over 55 before tax delivery is free and if you spend over 69 no GST. Lots of food had leftovers. This was my second time ordering this but the first time I got the Gourmet Special for 2 which includes the shrimp with peaches at 50 dollars. I did notice the first time the sauce with peaches came with coconut crisps but this time it didn't. Overall I do prefer the Amazing Wok Special.

    Chow Mein

    We did the Dinner for 2 for $48 We thought we would get one choice of the 3 appetizers but we got all 3! As well as Peaches and Shrimp, Szechuan Beef, Mixed Veggies, Chow Mein and Sweet and Sour Soup. We did not like soup but that's due to use not liking Sweet and Sour soup in general. Very filling, nice flavors and over all good service. Would have liked all dishes at once or at least a few at once. Instead it was a dish at a time over an hour. So the last two dishes we sampled dur to use already full.

    Chicken Fried Rice

    Ordered Chicken Fired Rice, Beef and Broccoli, Wonton Hot and Sour soup and Generals Chicken. It was all so delicious. I had it delivered and it was all super hot and fresh. Everything had the right amount of flavor and I have no complaints. The serving sizes are large. Thanks for the wonderful meal.

    This restaurant offers pretty authentic Chinese food and is one of the better Chinese restaurants in the southside in regards to taste. Actually, I enjoyed all the things I've tried here. We've done a group set dinner and dinner where we ordered off the menu. It's brightly lit, has an easy to understand menu, kid friendly, and clean. There are Chinese specials posted, but also no translation for those. Location is pretty convenient; Parking is alright, can get full in such a small lot that's shared with Tim Hortons and the exit to the area is a bit out of the way. Otherwise the atmosphere is good, staff mostly speak Chinese, but still able to provide to your needs whether it be cutlery, more napkins, boosters/high chairs. They also do a quality check while you eat as well. A lot of my Chinese friends' parents come here which should say something about the quality of food here; although my father in law was not a fan of the pricing. He did say that in his opinion, the lunch specials posted in Chinese sounds like a better value, so there's a high probability that I'll be trying lunch there in the future.

    Nice and clean at a new strip mall

    I was there for lunch, it was moderately busy, about 1/2 full. I stood by the door for minutes without anyone coming over. I waited and waited, all of the waitresses appear to be avoiding eye contact at all cost. Eventually, an owner/hostess type came out of the kitchen and directed me to an empty table. There I sat, waiting; again waitresses flying by avoiding eye contacts, the hostess was busy collecting money and handing out takeouts. Eventually, the hostess delivered me an menu and some tea. There I sat, menu closed, waiting and waiting, eventually the hostess came back to take my order. By this time, I have decided that the service is bad here. The waitresses were busy avoiding eye contacts and the owner/hostess was not really interested in serving anyone other than what appears to be a table of regulars. I quickly ordered the Beef Brisket Lo Mein and prayed for the best. The food came relatively quickly. It looked good, nice big chunks of beef and some nice greens to go with it. The portions looked good for $10. First bite was not great, the beef was salty, the chef was quite aggressive with the seasoning. Then the noodles, they use chow mein type of egg noodles, completely wrong for lo mein, wrong textures, wrong taste; there was no familiar lo mein crunch to the noodles, very disappointing. Then the accompanying soup, that was the worst part of the meal, completely flavourless; it was basically warm water with a few pieces of scallions floating in it. Lousy service combined with mediocre food = 2 stars, probably could have given them one star but the place was very clean and nicely decorated. The two big screen TVs with sports on kept me entertained. Would I return, not likely, the food just wasn't good and the service was horrible. If that was the level of service when they were 1/2 full, I would hate to be there when they are full.

I can see this being Very busy if Rogers event center had an event. Place was 20% full Monday at 6PM. The decor is very unique and lovely. We tried the buffet which is on daily. The server brings over wonton soup to start before you head to the buffet. It was great. Overall the buffet was fine. Very fresh and hot but also pretty normal. Nothing stood out as spectacular. The shrimp was very well cooked. The green onion cakes as well were great. The spring rolls were very empty of filling. The chicken dumplings were great. Fried rice and noodles were fine. Lots of breaded meats or well sauced meats. You get a very fresh donut at the end - which was very tasty. Overall a good Chinese food buffet.

    There are legendary restaurants in Edmonton and then there's The Lingnan. Open since 1947 (that's…read more78 years!!!) you would be hard pressed to find an Edmontonian that doesn't have some sort of relationship with this famed Chinese restaurant, its food, or the family who runs it. Speaking of the Quons, they have become celebrities in their own right especially after their family was featured in a season of the TV series The Family Restaurant in 2009 followed by The Quon Dynasty in 2011. The matriarch of the family, Amy Quon, is well known for her warm and friendly demeanor and the way that she takes time to visit with guests. The Lingnan was the first Chinese restaurant in Edmonton and most people would likely tell you that it remains the best. VUE Weekly named The Lingnan the #1 Best Chinese 2018. The Edmonton Journal has voted them Best/Favourite Chinese Restaurant 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. And EDify Magazine awarded them the Best Chinese Restaurant 2023 title. The list of accolades is long and with good reason. I have personally eaten at The Lingnan many times over the years and I have always appreciated their quality and consistency. I decided to pay them a visit on a recent Sunday evening to revisit this Chinese institution. Located in Central McDougall right behind Rogers Place, the restaurant's tall vertical signage and red and yellow paint cannot be mistaken. They've also got a really cool mural painted on the side of the building. The interior is impressive, expansive, and ornate. Entering the restaurant you'll first be greeted by a life-size bronze statue of a Chinese warrior. Next you'll marvel at their large (and very clean!) aquarium stocked with giant goldfish. The space will take your breath away and there is certainly no where else like it in the city. Every inch is beautifully decorated and the colours of red and gold create the palette. Intricate Chinese lanterns hang from the ceiling. The tiling, the art, and the gilded accents stretch as far as the eye can see. There are at least three different dining rooms and many of these areas can be sectioned off to create even more spaces. Each table is covered with a white table cloth and servers in traditional Chinese clothing hurry about the room. A reservation is highly recommended because even on a Sunday night every single table was occupied and there was a lineup of people waiting to be seated. The Lingnan's patrons are loyal, many of them having spent their entire lives eating meals at the restaurant. A feast for the eyes, simply dining at The Lingnan is an experience in itself. Once seated and settled it was difficult to ignore the flurry of activity all around. Happy customers enjoying their meals, the aroma of delicious plates of food passing by, and the gorgeous jade-coloured ceiling with a dragon in the center of it. Looking for a beverage to match the atmosphere, a warm cup of Chinese Jasmine Tea would've been a wonderful choice. However, I ventured to the cocktail menu for something a bit more special. The China Moon (Soho Lychee, Hipnotiq, Blue Curacao, pineapple - $10.00) caught my attention. A beautiful green-hued beverage to match the ceiling overhead! I appreciated the list of custom cocktails, created to suit the restaurant. Seemingly a modern addition, these drinks elevate the dining experience by complimenting the food and overall ambiance. I loved this sweet, easy-drinking beverage and the flavours of lychee and pineapple were a delight. It's very chic to be sitting with a China Moon in hand. Like any good Chinese restaurant, take-out is a major component of the business. However, another more recent update has been the addition of a buffet. For the exceedingly reasonable price of $31 (every day of the week) you can feast upon some of The Lingnan's most popular dishes. I have enjoyed the buffet on several occasions in the past but on this particular visit I was interested in sampling some of the restaurants more upscale and unique dishes. But first let's take a moment for the Dry Spicy Chicken. An entire blog could be written about this dish alone. In fact, this chicken used to have its own restaurant. A true staple Edmontonian dish and affectionately nicknamed "crack chicken," we all mourn the loss of Chicken for Lunch. Operating out of the Rice Howard Place food court (lunchtime on weekdays only) and run by Amy Quon herself, this place used to attract immense lineups. Why? I mean, they did sell a variety of items but everyone was there for the addictive Hot and Dry chicken. Amy always treated everyone like they were someone special and she still does. With Chicken for Lunch gone, all is not lost because this famous chicken is still on the menu at The Lingnan! Available in both appetizer and entree sizes, I could not imagine visiting the restaurant without ordering it. On this visit I went for the Appetizer Dry Spicy Chicken ("Amy's Chicken." Breast meat strips lightly battered and stir fried with our home made chili oil

Huge change from the dark paint and warehouse styling from the previous AYCE sushi place. They have divided the space nicely including a large private room. It also helps that YEG's notorious Boyle St Co-op, formerly next door, has been raised to the ground, thus moving the hardcore zombies a few blocks north. You can actually park your vehicle safely in their free lot now, for up to 2 hours. Security is watching and even checks in with you when you park. As for the food, in my experience it's all been great! The menu is a funny combo of different cuisines, definitely befitting the name "bistro". There are a variety of asian dishes (Chinese, Japanese, Thai), HK-style foods and very traditional western cuisine like beef bourguignon. That one intrigues me, super old school and looks really good. There are also some set menus that come with drinks. It's one of the few places I feel spoiled for interesting selection, hard to make a choice. Chinatown Dining Week has brought me back here three times in as many weeks, got hooked by the beef and sour veg steamed in a lotus wrap. This visit my husband got the gyukatsu set, which was really good if you can live with slightly sweet Glico-style curry. The omurice was perfect. Their katsu particularly is really, really good, better than your average schnitzel, and much cheaper! Have been back a few times and even brought the extended family. There's something for everyone! Everything we've tried has been tasty, fresh and a generous portion. Previously we tried the bistro premium fried rice which had scallops and tobiko, delicious. My food-restricted niece tried the crispy shrimp appy, which were really tasty and more like prawn-size. Not sure she got many back after offering to share with the table. Ah Chinatown. Been coming here my whole life but always get the side-eye, usually from the owner, until ordering. The experience wouldn't be the same without it.

The sweet and sour pork chops had a thick tangy sauce but good that it had a light batter around the meat, which kept the meat moist. The chicken is the typical dish you can get at most Chinese restaurants. It was interesting that it actually sat in a soy sauce base. The ginger sauce is missing the typical green onions. However, it was seasoned quite well. I didn't take a picture of dessert though. It was red bean with glutinous rice sweet soup. I actually quite enjoyed it. Overall: 3.5/5. It's an ok place to try if you are in the area. It's has free parking. Just be vigilent with the bowls and utensils.
