    Basic Chinese take out but solid. Cheap and filling. In the food court of a tiny mall, so it's very casual.

    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!

    Delicious Bao Buns. Did not have a chance to try all other delicious looking foods but must say…read morepresentation looked amazing. Went somewhere else for Bao Buns because they had more reviews and wished I had not. Next time we will eat out entire meal here! Atmosphere great with some outdoor seating.

    Came here for dinner due to unique menu selection (love at first 'sight' of the menu')…read more Nice ambience. Busy place. We got table right away. They came 3x and we were not ready to order. By the time we were ready, it took a while to find someone to take our order. The most wanted item is sold out, a fact that they told us upon ordering. Will be appreciated if we know ahead of time so we have more time to consider 'back up item'. There was a table beside us (came after us) who also discussed about ordering same sold-out items, and I was very tempted to tell them that it's sold out. But I figure it's not my place to say because the restaurant must have its own reason for NOT telling this upfront!!?????!! Ordered pork belly skewer , shiitake skewer, shrimp in spicy peanut sauce, and aburi salmon handroll, miso creme brulee. Best items are the shrimp with spicy peanut sauce, and miso creme brulee. Just wow!! For the rest: -If u have eaten shiitake before (at home for example) , u know nothing can go wrong with shiitake as it's already flavorful in its own (safe choice). -Pork belly has good flavor but kinda too fatty (it is a totally different style from the one I usually eat at other places). -Aburi salmon handroll doesnt taste like aburi at all. Just normal handroll basically. Nth special. It was my friend's birthday, we asked if they hv noodle (considering we were farrr from home) and they said it's only available during lunch (which is understandable), but then nth else was done to help celebrate this moment when they hear this fact (simple smile or simple 'happy birthday' could be a gift in its own). Overall, food-wise, we agree on best item and that this place is kinda meh (in terms of food selection and feels like very few 'flavor-worthed' ones).

    Awesome local spot! Definitely check it out if you want Chinese food in the area! We didn't expect…read moremuch coming to a local Chinese restaurant in the beautiful town of Canmore. We eat a lot of Chinese food coming from NYC and NJ area. And honestly thought most of the items we had were pretty good. We had the pre-set menu for 6 people. And holy, the portion they gave us can feed at least 10! The flavor was still more westernized to my liking but nonetheless good. I wasn't a fan of thier fried chicken ball which tasted a bit odd. It was a piece of chicken that tasted bland that was coated in a thick layer of starch then deep fried. Not good. What was really good was the chicken fried rice, the beef noodles and the beef with vegetables. Way better than some of the Chinese take out places I'm used to in USA. The spring rolls and the fried shrimps were decent too but could use better dipping sauce on the side. The service was very friendly! The two waitresses were just lovely! Overall this is a great spot! I definitely recommend this place and would love to visit again if in the area again!!

    The food is ok, would give it 3 stars. However, this one star review is not for food, but an…read moreinfection control issue. We came for dinner, and we were seated by the door. I was seated where I am facing towards the kitchen. From there, I could see what the waitress is doing. So, as soon as we enter the restaurant, I already noticed the waitress wearing gloves (blue latex kind). I could tell that she has been wearing it for a while. (I work in the healthcare field and see people don gloves on a daily basis). The waitress is busy, since she was by herself, going from table to table, from kitchen to tables, serving them food, giving them plates, silverware, napkins, getting their payments, touching everything from door handles to pitchers to fill glasses with water, to cleaning the tables with rags - all while wearing the same pair of gloves. That is a serious infection control issue, especially because she is touching the plates containing the food which the customers eat. I hope she will practice glove and hand hygiene, since a lot of people come here.
