Classic for a reason. My family has been going here for years and know the staff very well. Everything was flavorful and served quickly. The red bean soup at the end was so perfect and not too sweet. There's plenty of seating and parking. There's really no complaints. This is a great place to get Chinese food and catch up with loved ones. read more

Been looking for a spot that was comparable to the G.I. ever since it closed. I really liked the food it was delicious. I highly recommend it. read more

Drove here for Chinese food while vacationing. We arrived just before lunch hour when it was empty and we picked based on Yelp rating. By lunch hour, the place was full and wait line at the door Fried chicken wings average, maybe too much flour breading and oily. Sweet and sour pork was very good, tart, sweet and tender pork. Green "gai lon" veggie, very good, not stringy. Fried rice good, well mixed with pork, peas, carrots. Tender beef with broccoli, carrots, and onion was very good. Not starchy. Service was very good before the lunch crowd. Ambiance was similar to most family restaurants. Overall, 4 stars out of 5. read more

Food is excellent my fav ginger beef in the city. Amazing family run business. Been eating here for 12 years, and I don't eat Chinese food anywhere else. read more

Always good and service is great. Try their War Won Ton very filling and delicious lots of free parking

One of the best Chinese restaurants in town! Their ginger chicken is alright but my new favourite is chicken with cashew in yellow bean sauce. Mushroom fried rice is fantastic too. Excellent service, fair prices! read more

We live close to his restaurant and have frequented it over the years. My only complaint is that the ginger beef is now too sweet. I think it detracts from the spicy crispness. The little pancakes with filling are very delicious and we really like the shrimp and tomatoes over crispy rice. read more

Great food as per usual! Their dish size ruins my portion control, every dish is big and tasty. read more

Shanghai Classic Restaurant - Lunch special menu - Chinese Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

The boys and I were here with some friends at lunchtime. The staff were friendly and efficient. Our son ordered steamed layered white rolls (un see geun) with a side of condensed milk and it was wonderfully soft and delicious. We also ordered three types of noodles for lunch: egg noodles with beef slices and baby bok choy; flat rice noodles (hor fun) with shrimp, Chinese mushrooms, squid, char siu, sliced chicken, baby bok choy; rice vermicelli with char siu, onions, a few bean sprouts, and shrimp. Overall, we had a pretty good lunch; the flavours were fairly average, though (bland to mildly salty). The kitchen should've thought to change up the veggies a bit. Two dishes had no other vegetable in it except for baby bok choy. Well, at least the hor fun had a few Chinese mushrooms in it... read more

There are not many good chinese restaurants in calgary. Shanghai classic is one of the few acceptable ones. The prices are fair and the food is decent. They have a wide selection of fried noodles and rice for lunch, a large selection of dishes for dinner and even a small selection of late night eats. I recommend their Peking duck for dinner which is what we usually go for. The service is not great which is not out of the ordinary for a chinese restaurant. I have noticed they have quite a few regulars that dine there and they seem to get better service. read more

Shoutout to Frank and his team at Shanghai Classic Restaurant in Calgary; last Saturday night, we celebrated with 27 friends and family for my Mother's 92nd birthday. Great food, great service and attention to detail even though the whole restaurant was filled with customers. When we travel to Calgary, we will certainly want to come back again and again! Thanks Frank and team. read more

We've been going to this place for about 15 years, when it was located on 4th St and Northmount Dr. At lunch I always ordere Combo F (curry chicken, Shangai noodles, rice, vegetables) even though the menu now stops at E! They still remember it after several years... We think the Ginger Beef is exceptional here - they use a higher quality meat than most places. The veggies are great too, and the portions are (too?) generous. Prices are good (especially lunch). read more

I ordered a deep fried squid. The menu is for $8.95, and that is the only menu I got. When I got the bill, they were charging me $12.95. They told me that is a larger size, which I saw it nowhere on the menu and they didn't tell us when they took my order. Very dishonest restaurant! read more

Another place that will serve you up a "Gweilo-Special" - Ginger Beef, Chicken Fried Rice, Spring Rolls, and Chow Mein

This restaurant is actually not bad... It actually has quite a bit of Chinese patrons. The food is good as well as long as you do not order the 'gwei-lo specials'. The prices are reasonable too. read more

Ok so I never pay the delivery driver tips and the Chinese man rudely said 'next time DO NOT ASK ME TO DELIVER ANYTHING, U GO PICK UP YOURSELF' (and yes this is for real, he clearly said that). The price is already increased when you order a delivery anyways and he got pay hourly by the restaurant. You get 10% off if you pick up the order. Will never return and I highly recommend no one in the neighborhood buy their food either. Their food is actually not really that good, price is expensive to fair comparing to other restaurant, but I'm mostly just lazy and order take out. Hope everyone read this review and will re-consider it before stopping by at this restaurant. Thanks read more

My family likes to enjoy lunch or early supper at this restaurant in Beddington. We have gone to this place often and lots of Chinese people eat here. That's a good sign since they are picky about Chinese food. My little niece loves the ying yang rice.it comes half with a white creamy rice chicken side and the other half a shrimp tomato rice side. We enjoy this a lot. We always get the beef rice noodle dish . It has stir fried tender beef slices with flat rice noodles & sprouts . It was my moms favourite too! Their large congee we get is a huge bowl and we often take leftovers home. We like the congee with tender bass fish fillets and the Chinese egg mixed in. The Chicken chow mein is delicious with the crispy noodles and especially when tossed with the gravy ! My favourite which I get every time is those large chicken wings! Large and lightly battered and served with lemon wedges. You squeeze a drizzle of lemon all over them and they are the best ever! Sometimes my husband order the Sizzling tomato shrimp rice dish. His favourite and it sizzles and crackles when they pour the sauce over the crispy hot rice! This is a popular place in the strip mall beside the Beddington coop. Go try it - good food and often very busy! read more

I have eaten here again, this time take out, and the dumplings and rice have the same rating, but the ginger beef was amazing, and the mix veggies were hot and fresh. Its been a couple of hours since I have eaten, and I am still not hungry. read more

Probably my favourite Chinese restaurant in town - lunch or dinner. It's a small restaurant so reservations are recommended, but they also do takeout if you are unable to grab a table. This restaurant has some of the most friendly wait staff ever. They are often super busy but still attentive and personable. The food is delicious, the portions are big and really reasonably priced. Some of our usual dishes that just don't taste as great anywhere else: Duck 4 courses - variations of this exist, and all of them are delicious. The Peking duck is by far the best in the city! The duck fried rice is also delicious. Salt and pepper squid / seafood. Sizzling rice. Dumplings Beef flat rice noodles (we only order this in Chinese so I can't recall the exact English translation). Try it! You won't regret it! read more

Pretty tasty Chinese food. The ginger beef definitely has a richer flavour than any other Chinese place in town. It's worth going for that alone. Aside from that everything else seems like an average Chinese restaurant. read more

My whole family loves this place ... Have always done takeout so can't speak to their service but the food is excellent. The ginger beef is some of the best I had, not rubbery like some places. A little tip for good Asian food is eat where lots of other Asians go to eat their own cultures food. read more

This is definitely a family favorite for the last 15 years or so. They have consistently good food. Everyone seems to have their own favorite. We each order a dish and share. My mom likes the Prawns with garlic sauce (comes surrounded with broccoli with just the right amount of crunch) My Daughter loves the ginger beef. My wife likes the sweet and sour pork and the salt and pepper squid. Grandpa likes the hot and sour soup which we usually order over sizzling rice. My son likes the Szechuan noodles. We almost always order the grilled pork dumplings as well. It is nice to get 6-8 people together and sample some good Chinese food. read more

At 630pm I ordered sliced chicken & veggies, pork & sweet/sour & steamed rice. They said delivery in 40min but it arrived in 20! Food was HOT and Very Good! Was it fluke everything was so awesome at peek business time?? read more

It's been a long time since I dined at Shanghai Classic, it was one of my favourites when they were located in the strip mall at Northmount and 4th. I was glad to discover that they had not disappeared from the Calgary food scene. It is one of the better restaurants to be found in a residential area. Last night we had the Ginger Beef but unfortunately the Ginger Beef good have been better. The beef was cooked to perfection. The beef was tender on the inside with just the right amount of crunch to the batter. The sauce was too heavy on the soya and we could hardly taste the nuances of ginger in the sauce. The other dish we had was Snow Pea leaves in Garlic Sauce (off menu item) or in Cantonese Tau Miew. This is one of my favourite vegetable dishes and I must say it was cooked to perfection, the sauce was just garlicky enough to complement the snow pea leaves. The snow pea leaves were tender, the stems were cooked just enough to maintain the slight crispness expected in a stir fry. Service was good. Two dishes and steamed rice cost $30 before tip. read more

Always a family favorite. We go here every couple months. Best sizzling rice with shrimp and tomato ever!

Good but not great could be better in renovations and presentation but best jelly fish in calgary and awesome staff. Pretty good

Bruttal!! Took 3 hours get my food via delivery! The food tastes awful and is way over priced for what you get!!!
