ummmmm probably would have never thought to come try this place but we really wanted chinese food!…read morewhat a pleasant surprise! service was excellent and all the food we ordered were also excellent! it is important to note that none of the dishes were oily. tomato and eggs were really good very tasty and such a classic dish! perfect sweet and salty balance! pot stickers were obviously home made - so plump and the wrappers are very thin. hot and sour soup was excellent and perfection with added white pepper! string beans were made very well - super tender and not fibrous! fried rice tho lack wok hay but it was perfect to compliment all of our dishes! we ordered this fillet fish with ginger in a stone pot too but i forgot to take a pic! anyway, id say this place is way better than many chinese restaurants here in bay area!

We were hiking and site seeing late in the day and didn't get back to Banff until 8:30pm. This…read moreplace closes at 9pm so we called to see if we could still get in. They indicated as long as we were seated and ordered before 8:45pm, we would be ok so we headed up to the Silver Dragon. We ordered dumplings, fried rice, and an egg roll. The food came out quickly. There were two other tables finishing up so we didn't feel too rushed, although staff was clearly cleaning up to get ready to go home. We loved the rice and the dumplings were excellent. I wasn't as big a fan of the egg roll (loved the inside but didn't like the batter outside as much) but I liked the sauce that came with it. Portions were generous. The place was cutely decorated. Parking was easy but I could see parking being a bit of an issue on a really busy day. We were so grateful they could accommodate us so late. Hiking made us hungry!

Amazing dim sum. Yummy lunch specials. Affordable Chinese food that is very good quality for the…read moreprice. I like the food here because their specials make it totally worth it. They have a special dim sum menu for just $4.95 an item. And lunch specials including a drink for just $13. It's usually half the price to eat here than anywhere else and I highly recommend their Chinese soups here. I love the congee or the bean curd with pork soup. I've had the Peking duck 3 course and it's actually decent. They serve pinapple duck fried rice as a course which is unusual but still very good. Ask for Chinese menu for the best deals. I found this place via Instagram and now I come here whenever I'm in calgary because I love the sweet deals and good food. Try it and it won't disappoint you.

We had just come into town from Banff/Canmore for our last day/night before flying back home. We…read morecame for a late lunch and were all pleasantly surprised by the freshness of the ingredients and you could tell that they actually make their dim sum instead of buying pre made dim sum which most restaurants do nowadays. Some of the items we were impressed by were: 1. Har gow: these were generously filled with shrimp. 2. Ham sui gok: was not over fried/greasy. 3. Char siu sou: the puff pastry was not overly buttery therefore they likely made the puff pastry from scratch and was not premade The entire restaurant and bathrooms were also very clean and well maintained.

Great dim sum in Calgary! We ordered the following dishes: -…read moreoven baked BBQ pork pastry - delicious, lightly sweet, soft with a perfectly crispy exterior. Pork meat was rather too fatty, but it was still so tasty! - shrimp dumpling - good, always a solid dish for me - steamed BBQ pork bun - too much bread compared to meat (which was fatty) - shrimp rice roll - a great classic favorite dish of mine - seafood congee - simple (but rather too bland for me) congee with generous amounts of seafood - stir fried egg noodles with seafood and vegetables - good crispy egg noodles with generous amounts of seafood meat - deep fried salt & pepper capelin fish - not a fan of this dish, but my mom always loves these fried fish. She enjoyed them.

Located in Panorama Hills in North Calgary, this dim sum restaurant with a ballroom setting served…read moreabove average dim sum plates. It is located in the suburbs and a bit far from the actual Calgary Chinatown, but it came with ample parking and prices with the high quality food were simply unbeatable (Small: 5.95, Medium: 6.75, Large: 7.35 CAD). No carts, but dim sum is served all the way up to 3pm. We came just before 2pm and were seated immediately. The restaurant was huge and very easy-going at this particular time. We ordered the classics off a paper slip -- shrimp rice roll, siumai, har gow, turnip cake, ham sui gok, etc. -- and were blown away at the portion size which were on the larger end of the spectrum. They certainly do not skimp on the filling. For instance, the siumai and har gow contained very plumply-sized shrimp. Flavor was spot on as well. The hot tea was complimentary which is unusual from my parts. When we finished ordering, they even brought out a complimentary dessert which was a slightly sweet agar type thing. What a great end to a short and sweet visit to Calgary! We even had so much food to take back through airport security. The parents were much pleased with the leftovers.

It's…read morereally nice to sit in a group at a round table with each person with their own hotpot burner station . It has the settings of low , medium or high into the table top . You order the type of broth to use and then pick your types of meat to cook . It's really good tasty tender beef , lamb , pork etc rolled up like you get in Vietnamese soups . The 2 hour limit for dining starts when they bring out your broth in cooking pots per person . The assorted wall in the restaurant has all kinds of things to try ... while fresh prawns , mini chunks fish fillet , winter melon , lotus slices , lots of green veggies , broccoli , bamboo shoots , glass noodles , udon noodles , fish balls , and many choices . The beef and pork meats are brought out by the waiter to your table . Probably so people can't mix up the meats if at the buffet area . And a separate area that also serves cooked starter food while you wait for your pots of broth to arrive . It has crispy spring rolls , tasty mini ribs, shrimp chips , S&S pork belly chunks , sesame balls , mini buns with condense milk , canned peaches & fresh sliced sweet oranges etc . Another station has various items to make your own dip sauces ... cilantro , green onions , garlic , chili oils , hoisin sauce , tahini sauce , ginger , etc We really enjoyed the experience and I would do this again . They let you order separate dishes off a menu if one of you don't want to do hot pot. You just cannot eat or share food from those eating from the hot pot buffet... So nice we have a tasty Chinese food restaurant in our area and a hot pot option . We will be back & bring our friends to try this ..

I noticed a lot of people picking up orders to-go, so at least give that a try if you're not particularly impressed by the dining environment. This was one of the best meals I had during my time in Calgary. - Soy sauce chicken: A lot of whole chickens I've eaten have been super dry, but this was not the case at all. It was really flavorful, especially when dipping it in the ginger/oil. - Shrimp triple delight: Fried shrimp with eggplant, green peppers, and tofu. There was so much shrimp, and the shrimp paired with tofu was my personal favorite because the tofu was extremely crispy. The green peppers had a nice crunch, and the eggplant was tasty too. - Crab, egg white, and shrimp on broccoli: This was one of my favorite dishes because I love every part of this dish! The egg white does a great job bringing in the crab meat and shrimp together, and there was a lot of seafood. The broccoli soaked up all the extra sauce, and was cooked well- still had a nice crunch but wasn't half raw. - Live crab and lobster on ginger fried rice: Such an impressive display! This dish was loaded with crab and lobster, SO good! The ginger fried rice paired nicely with the seafood. - Peking duck: You can never ever go wrong with peking duck. The duck was thinly sliced and so crispy. Wrap it up with a little bit of hoisin and it tasted heavenly. This restaurant is located in a strip mall and to be honest, does not have the most impressive exterior or interior... but the food certainly makes up for it. The staff members were all very polite, and you can tell they work hard to keep this restaurant going. Support a local business and try this place out!
