Pretty Authentic Taiwanese restaurant in Calgary!…read more I was so excited to see a Taiwanese restaurant while on vacation. More so the food that we got. Came here on a Sunday afternoon around 3pm and had plenty of seating indoors. Ordered some Passion Fruit Tea with Boba (so refreshing after a long walk and the boba was nice and chewy), edamame, Chicken Fried Chicken (included rice and some veggies, the chicken was seasoned and deep fried nicely) and also the Beef Noodle Soup (great noodle qq texture and broth was hearty). The chicken had such addicting seasoning that we ordered the popcorn chicken for Togo and it was in fact delicious. Staff was friendly! Parking - directly in front of the plaza or street parking

My lunch companion had a similar dish with a broth name I don't recall, equally delightful. It's a clean and inviting space and service was polite and attentive. I'd definitely return here, in particular to try their xiaolongbao which (my opinion) is a very difficult dish to do well. In an area of town that's rich in noodle bowl restaurants you have to be on your A game and I think Lambo is right in there. Highly recommended.

Traditional Lan Zhou Hand Pulled Noodle since 1915. Place your order via kiosk. Easy to navigate. The female employee helped us answer questions. Coincidentally, our order number was 888. I selected Hand Pulled Noodle in Beef Soup with flat and wide noodles. Female employee asked me if I would like chili oil on the side. Hard to resist. I'm happy I accepted the offer because the chili oil tasted very fresh and added some spice and depth to the soup. Absolutely comforting and satisfying with and without chili oil. Same employee was very kind, thoughtful and forward thinking to ask if I would like the Deep Fried Steamed Bun with condensed milk now or toward the end of my meal. I responded, "At the end of my meal, please." Pillowy soft on inside, heat hot in its entirety, with slight crunch on outside. Dessert complemented condensed milk. Highly recommend. Free parking. Worth visiting and returning.

It was a pleasant surprise to partake of Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles which were like silk! Tons of lamb choices. I'm always down for lamb and I was in my element. My lamb noodle dish had those "curtain noodles" with tons of vegetables and highly seasoned lamb - cumin and chili - 100% Northern Chinese. So delicious. Spouse had a lovely braised beef soup with thin noodles, scented with five-spice My only minor criticism is that my lamb noodles were a tad oily. Portions are large, prices are what they are these days. Highly recommend!

All the food came out in abt 10 mins. First glance, everything was greasyy, peanut sauce for satay had layer or red oil, same with the chicken in nasilemak. Flavor was very mild, lacking flavor. The chicken was honestly dry even tho its soaked in sauce, their sambal also wasnt that spicy. Laksa broth was good tho. Overall disappointed a bit, flavor was lacking. Price wise its not bad.

Overall, great dish and friendly service. At around $12 a meal, the prices are a bit high for the environment, but not too bad.

This restaurant in Calgary's Chinatown was highly recommended by a family member, and they were…read moreabsolutely right. We had been eating overly heavy dinners over the past few days, so we decided to be relatively gentle with our order this time. Here is a breakdown of what we tried: Xiao Long Bao (小籠包 - Soup Dumplings): This is my daughter's favorite, so we ordered two baskets for her. They were executed beautifully. They were well-steamed on a clean sheet, and thankfully, there was no grayish blood seeping out of the meat. The wrapper (麵 皮) was right on the spot--not too hard or soft, not too thick or thin, and it didn't have that rubbery "chewing gum" or mushy "play dough" texture you get at lesser places. The pork filling tasted clean with no funky pork smell. Very nice. Beef and Tendon Noodle Soup: This was just okay, but to be fair, I don't expect a flawless bowl of beef noodle soup from a restaurant that doesn't strictly specialize in it (especially at a Dim Sum-focused spot). The broth was a bit plain and served lukewarm. The tendon, however, was well-cooked and well-marinated with a pleasant taste; it was a bit on the firmer side, which didn't bother me. The noodles were on the softer, sparser side rather than dense and chewy. I personally prefer a firmer noodle, but again, I can't complain too much given the venue. Spicy Tofu and Preserved Egg (麻辣皮蛋豆腐): I really liked this dish. The tofu had a fantastic, fresh soy taste, the preserved egg was delicious, and the chili oil and soy sauce dressing was perfectly balanced. If you are wondering what these "black eggs" are and feel a bit hesitant or concerned about trying them, I highly recommend giving them a shot here. This dish will easily fix those concerns! Overall, it was a great meal. I will definitely return, and next time we have the appetite, I'll dive deeper into the dishes they truly specialize in.

Out here in Calgary, there seems to be plenty to go around! Happy Tea is by far my favorite! I've tried the majority of their fruit teas. Pineapple, peach, green apple, lemon, passion fruit, grapefruit, lychee. My favourite so far is the passion fruit but I'm also a big fan of the lemon as well as the pineapple and peach. I'm not big into the milk teas but I plan to work my way into trying the slush drinks as well. I like adding the lychee popping pearls in the fruit teas. My partner enjoys getting the brown sugar milk tea. Although she wishes they had an oat milk option, she still enjoys the drink and orders it every time. The staff are always super friendly and the place is always very clean. Glad there is a place walking distance that we enjoy so much.
