    a plate of chinese food
    Don K.

    If you love the mom and pop restaurants, then Lemon garden is for you! Seating is only for about 30 people. I ordered the salt and pepper squid and beef shanghai noodles for takeout during dinner hours. Order was done in 20 minutes and total was $33.50, really good value for west side calgary. Places downtown might charge 15% more for those dishes. The batter for salt and pepper squid could of used more flavour and more pepper flakes.

    You know how some restaurants are deemed 'Chinese & Western?' Well, I've never really understood what that meant until I went to Lemon Garden. They actually serve Chinese and Western food. I finally get it! Alright, so they've got your basic Chinese dishes to choose from; ginger beef, sweet and sour chicken, salt and pepper squid, chow mein. But you can also get a bunch of different sandwiches, burgers, salad, and even chicken fingers! It's the Western Selection side of things. Both the Chinese and Western food is delicious! It's always hot and usually pretty quick. You can choose to dine-in at Lemon Garden, but they also do delivery and have the usual stipulation; free delivery within a 5km radius and minimum purchase of $25. Who doesn't spend $25 when ordering Chinese, though? I always overindulge! This place is actually pretty perfect since they offer quite a selection. Now, when someone doesn't want Chinese (crazy, I know) they can get something else. No more fighting about what to have for dinner. Everybody wins!

    My in-laws love to order from Lemon Garden. I think their best dishes are the Almond Chicken, Special Chow Mein (assorted meats and seafood), and Salt and Pepper Squid. I'm not a huge fan of their Ginger Beef, which is a little scrawny and too sweet for my taste. Prices are about average to a little more than the norm in Chinatown, but Lemon Garden fills up the food to the top of the container. The food is tasty and we never wait long except on holidays. If you have a hankering for an inexpensive cheeseburger and fries, check out Lemon Garden's version. Big juicy patty in a soft bun, with all the goodies (iceberg lettuce, thick slice of tomato, onion and mayo). Fries are crispy.

    Yesterday I was quite happy so I decided to order dishes from this restaurant using uber eat. Then…read moreI was disappointed. The portions were small and did not taste very well. I have never been to this restaurant. So the good news is I don't need to go to this restaurant any more. Compared to other restaurants like Chili house, T pot, this restaurant is just "let's forget about it".

    A Hidden Treasure! Tucked away with low-key signage, and only a tiny bit in English. I would have…read moremissed it entirely, and than would have been a great shame indeed. A friend invited me to this restaurant. He explained that they have serious, authentic Szechwan fare, but would choose things that even a lao wai like myself could enjoy. Not gonna lie, there was some _heat_, but the flavours were more than worth it. I was probably the only pale guy in the place, which is often a good sign for a Chinese restaurant. The place was very busy, but the staff was incredibly thoughtful. The service was excellent and the food arrived rapidly. I shouldn't say "food". It was a Feast. Everything was cooked to perfection and simply delicious. My only warning (apart from listen to them when they say, "spicy") is that it is authentic. Some dishes will have the bones in. Some might have elements that you're not supposed to eat. Just like many European dishes don't intend for you to eat the whole cloves or peppercorns. If you don't have a native guide, just let the staff know. Judging from my own experiences, they'll treat you right.

    Unbeatable prices. Seriously, how is the food so cheap?! They offer 2 or 3 different discounts…read moreincluding 10% off pickup, discounted items over a certain amount, set menus... Ok so the food is super cheap.. BUT ALSO, THE FOOD WAS ACTUALLY IMPRESSIVE TOO???? NOT TOO OILY, NOT TOO SALTY, GOOD AMOUNT OF SPICY HEAT, fried food actually crunchy. I really appreciated all of the above. I know the food probably isn't healthy still, but I hate when restaurant food has a puddle of oil. The noodles were a bit stuck together because of the lack of oil. Maybe this is why the squid was so crunchy too? The guy serving us in the front said his mom was cooking in the back. She's like she really cares about her customers and making sure they eat a bit more healthy, and of course, tasty food. Each dish had a good mix of veg and meat. They are NOT stingy on meat or veg. We also got the mapo tofu and it was better than t&t. Again, another thing I liked was how the mapo tofu sauce wasn't loaded with starch. In fact, I don't think there was any (along with any sugar) because the sauce was all watery in texture. Flavour and spice was perfect. Something unique about it was that it had a bunch of green peas. I know some people don't like peas. Lol. Overall, this place is genuinely good which is surprising given the insanely low prices. The staff is really nice and chill. I highly reccomend this place for takeout if you're looking for something low-key at home. Ps. There's no seating inside. This is purely a Chinese takeout joint. They have chairs inside if you're waiting for your food.

    I just ordered meal for 3, I'm really disappointed. I will never buy food from here again. The…read moreginger beef was fatty cartilage, The vegetable with chicken was pretty gross.
