50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Calgary

“A great place when you are craving flavour from home. food is great and staff is nice. only complain is wait time. i called in advance, but had to wait for more than 10min when i arrived at the scheduled picked up time. just factor that into your schedule... other wise, again the taste is great“

“I came here because of my friend’s recommendation, and they didn’t disappoint me! I tried the halibut claypot, and my friend had the smoked duck claypot. Both were absolutely amazing! The texture and flavor really impressed us. The staff were also very nice; I asked for extra claypot sauce and kimchi, and they brought plenty. Plus, the projector setup was really cool. I’ll definitely come back!“

“Awesome deal for good vegan Chinese food. My daughter and I enjoyed the $13.50 lunch with curried noodles. It came with spring rolls and jasmine tea. There were multiple varieties of veggie meats yum“

“I as well as my family have been dining and having delivery from Bills new location in Calgary for many years. The food for dinner for 2–excellent— added an extra entree with the deep fried shrimp . It was so delicious and so good. We recommend them highly.“

“Service was amazing. We ordered take out and person on the phone was quick and helpful, knew their stuff. When I came to pick up the order guy in the front was very polite and also very quick and helpful. Their beef satay was great. Good amount of beef right amount of veg. Fried was good, pretty standard for most places. Seafood wasn't bad but also was not the greatest. A lot of veg not enough seafood. But the sauce it self was good. Overall a good experience.“

“My family and I were in Calgary for a day and decided to stop by Golden Jade for dinner. Not only was everything delicious, we were so touched by the thoughtfulness of the staff. They started our meal off with some winter melon soup and gave us free dessert. We throughly enjoyed our dinner!“

“I had frozen pork dumplings that I cooked at home. They were so delicious and I can’t wait to get more!!“

“Came to Calgary for some errands and stumbled upon this Northeastern Chinese restaurant before heading back to YEG. Ordered one veggie dish—Chilled Eggplant Salad—and one meat dish—Stir-Fried Pork Liver, plus two bowls of rice.

Here’s the breakdown:

🔸 Chilled Eggplant Salad: Refreshing and light. The sweet, sour, and savory flavors were well-balanced—something both northern and southern Chinese palates would appreciate. If you’re a white vinegar fan, this one’s a 5/5.

🔸 Stir-Fried Pork Liver: Personally felt like they might’ve skimped a bit on the cooking wine—the liver had a slight gamey taste. Still acceptable, but the flavor was a bit on the mild side. Maybe a splash more soy sauce would’ve done the trick? Taste is subjective, so I’m giving it a solid 4/5.

The lady boss was super friendly. They offer lunch specials with rice bowls, and the portion sizes are a bit above the Calgary average, though still not quite up to Northeastern China standards (we do eat big portions back home 😄).“

“Good people, good food lots of fun when we all get together for dinner“

“delicious fresh noodles!“

“Big blast of new flavours! Shrimp stir fried noodles were divine! The beef noodle soup was exceptional. Broth was deeply satisfying. The hand pulled noodles were worth the trip! Lamb skewers were cumin encrusted and perfectly grilled. Squid tentacles were equally as tasty. Overall a great addition to Calgary's and 17th Avenue's food eclectic scene. Highly recommend it.“

“As a Calgarian, I was on the lookout for a great spot to bring my family from California and the Philippines after 8 PM, and I’m so glad I found Eastern Fortune. I arrived early to order for the whole family, not knowing they'd be an hour late. Despite the delay, the staff treated my wife and me with such kindness and patience. They made sure we were comfortable while we waited for our guests to arrive. When the food came, it was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The service was top-notch, and they really helped make our family’s vacation start on the perfect note. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and wonderful hospitality!“

“Delicious Chinese food, big portions and reasonable prices . Friendly service brings us back frequently. Salt and pepper squid is my favourite.“

“Amazing food, great portions. The service is always top notch. We go there ever chance we get.“

“Great food, friendly staff, Sam and his family have done a great job for 30 years, always our go to for Chinese cuisine“

“Been coming to this location for many, many years, and they’ve never let me down.

Portions are incredibly generous for what you pay especially in this current situation.

Food is fresh, hot, and taste great. They have such amazing consistency between your orders. The amazingness you order today, is exactly how it’ll be the next time you order.

Staff is always friendly, greets you on entry. Such a great location that I hope stays here for many more years to come!“

“Food was outstanding. Fresh, tasty, great variety. Will definitely return soon.“

“great food, and the owner is super nice. The menu doesn't have a lot of options, but everything I’ve tried has been consistently delicious. definitely the go to place if you are craving home flavours. sometimes parking is limited, and since it's just the owner, it's better to call and make the order first.“

“Smaller restaurant, but very nice lady at the counter and serving. Protein food servings are very large in size, and almost a guarantee you wont finish it all.

I was pleasently surprised at the food, and atmosphere inside, from what it looks outside.“

“The food here is delicious. We went there for the dimsum but it seems that dimsum is not served at dinner time.

We ordered around 8-9 plated food (we were a big group), and everything tasted good. The kids love them as well. Moreover, our server was very nice. Finally, the bill was under 200 and we still had lots of food taken home.

Will definitely be back to try the dimsum

P.s. the salt and pepper shrimp or squid are a must try“

“Great authentic spicy hand made noodles“

“This is one of those special places that is easy to overlook. Clean barebones establishment with amazing food at fabulous prices. The crispy noodles in the cantonese chow main were delicious and the crispy salt and pepper tofu to die for. Don't pass up stopping in for a feast. Order enough to take some home!“

“Shared the roast pork rice noodles, and mama dumplings with my partner, pretty good value, no gst or tips. Filled with respect for this one-woman army!

Owner mentioned she may be moving soon so we’ll keep a look-out for her new location.

“Free soup and dessert :D also I took the soup home and the guy asked if I wanted a full bowl!!! Respectfully declined but loved that thank u

Huge portions and great flavours. Wish the rice noodles were more mixed and separated tonight but otherwise good“

“Outstanding food. This is our restaurant of choice hands down. If you expect speedy service this is not the place for you but you it will be worth the wait!!!!“

“Amazing food for the price. szechuan noodle was fill up very generously meat was tender though the pork can be a little overwhelming. Chicken was tasty well balanced with veggies and meat. And there was a block of cabbage which was funny but all good tasty.
The happy family meal was very tasty and flavourful and full. Took me lunch and dinner to finish.
10/10 love the place and food would buy again“

“Amazing food! South Silk has the most authentic and delicious chinese food in Calgary.“

“Looking for one of the best authentic Chinese places to eat in Calgary?
I highly recommend this place.
Always loved Chinese food
A friend of mine introduced me and my family to this place and never looked back!
My kids loves the chefs special fried rice.
Basically everything thing on their menu is amazing.
Here is what gets us to come back it tastes amazing and the portions you pay for is definitely more than what you get at other restaurants we have been too.
Ive taken family from out of provinces that love thier Chinese food and they say the same thing, its alot of portions and its amazingly good.
Go there and try a couple of your favorite dishes and see for yourself you wont be disappointed.
Also their Cantonese chow mien is amazing.
Thank you to the cooks and servers there!“

“This is an old-school Cantonese Noodle House restaurant. There isn't anything flashy about this restaurant. The wok-hey was awesome, especially for their noodle and fried rice dishes. The staff were very hardworking and courteous. Prices and portions were excellent. The restaurant was drab and could be cleaner.“

“Great food! Tried the chicken fried rice, soy sauce chow mein, chicken balls with pineapple sauce and the Su Mai dumpling and veggie spring rolls! All very good! And friendly service! Not from around town. Came here based on reviews and really enjoyed all the dishes!“

“I come here for dim sum pretty regularly for the last 35 years or so, their quality has been very consistently excellent. Also comes here for dinners and a wedding. They do the typical Cantonese style food very well. Even my nephew coming in from Guangzhou thought the food was good.“

“It was my mother’s birthday and she turned 91, I called a restaurant and they would not deliver. So I found John Wong’s and they were so pleasant on the phone, they said they delivered and the food came right on time. The food was great. It tasted good, it was hot. And my mom and I enjoyed it immensely! Thank you! We will be sure to ordered again! Highly recommended!“

“Tried Hot N' Fast for the first time yesterday and loved it so much I had to have it the next day as well! It's hard to find vegetarian options when eating out, especially options close to home, and their chow fun noodles with black bean sauce (with either tofu or chinese mushrooms) really hits the spot. Lives up to it's name too - super hot and super fast! They are also super friendly. What a great find - highly recommended!“

“Absolutely delicious hot and fresh.“

“A solid takeaway spot for Western-style Chinese food. The portions are generous and prices are on par for Chinese takeout.There could be more meat or bigger meat portions in the dishes. For instance, the salt & pepper squid and ginger beef: the batter to meat ratio was off. Both had too much batter and were borderline soggy. Also got the salt and pepper tofu and the while the flavour was good, I just wish it was crisper. The dumplings were plump and juicy.“

“I'd eat here every day if I could. The handmade biang biang noodles are superb. Check out Auntie's... You won't regret it!!!!“

“We dined at the West Edmonton Mall location. We all loved it! Our meals were amazing, so full of flavour and the noodles were outstanding! The green tea Passion fruit drink complimented the meal perfectly. Please, please, please open a location in Vancouver, BC.“

“Had dinner here for my wife's birthday. We have been before but it has been years. We were not disappointed. The service, food and especially the prices are beyond compare. The portions are so generous we took home what we could not eat and have enough for at least one more meal for the two of us. So good!!!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
Really enjoyed the meal from Fortune One! The fried rice was flavorful with a nice mix of veggies, and the stir-fried veggies were fresh and crisp. The sweet and sour chicken had a great sauce and tender pieces, paired well with the egg roll. The portion size was generous, and the included water bottle was a nice touch. Service was quick for takeout. Only minor gripe was that the egg roll could’ve been a bit crispier. Definitely worth a try for a tasty Chinese meal!“

“This deep-fried chicken cartilage is amazing. I think it’s a Sichuan dish.

I went to the restaurant on Mid-autumn eve for dinner. The place was very crowded and busy but they managed to find me a seat at the bar within minutes.“

“The value of the food here is unbeatable! I am so used to being disappointed by the serving sizes when I order out, that when I opened my order from Chili Island I had to write a review. All of the containers were bursting with food! I doubt they could have fit one more grain in the fried rice. Also, the flavours were top notch, with the ginger beef and the BBQ pork fried rice being real home runs (although my kids were huge fans of the noodles). Overall, a great choice when you’re craving Chinese food, and I will be back.“

“My nephew recommended Bamboo house and I ordered 4 medium platters for my wife’s birthday party. The order was cashew gai ding, ginger beef, Shanghai noodles with 3 meat and General Tao chicken, with a delivery time of 5 pm. The food was delivered exactly at 5 pm and this had to be the best Chinese food myself and our guests have ever had in Calgary. Very tasty, lots of food and a decent price. I would strongly recommend this restaurant!“

“The salt and pepper squid was a perfect amount of spice and onions! It was probably better than Hot n fast kitchens squid
The sweet and sour pork order could feed 2 or more adults.
Ordered pick up and my order was right on time.
I will go back and try other dishes!“

“Definitely worth for Szechuan dishes. Ordered Szechuan Friend Chicken, Boiled fish with Cabbage Chilli Sauce and Kang Pao Chicken. We didn't mention any spice level I think we got medium spice level which is perfect for us. Looking forward to dine in soon.“

“Had our Lunch Today, limited food choices in for buffet but taste good. If you want more food options you can order.“

“Busy place, service is good even though resturant was practically full with customers. Kudos to staff effort!
Food served is fresh and well prepared. Good value. Definitely, a place to visit. Only very minor issue is availability of vehicle parking.“

“Dated interior and dining sets but superb, authentic Cantonese food. We had sweet & sour pork with pineapples, beef brisket noodles, 3 treasures (tofu, eggplant and pepper) stuffed with shrimp paste and scallion chicken and they were all delicious and fresh. Service staff is loud and rushed just like how it is in HK, but efficient and kind in actuality. If you are looking for authentic Cantonese dishes, this is the place.“

“Food is above average with very reasonable prices for fairly big portions. Service was quite efficient even though they were quite busy. Lady boss was very friendly and opened for suggestions in perfecting their dishes.
Recommended dining for Chinese food.“

“Wow! I wish I lived in Calgary! This place is amazing for Celiacs! It was such a treat to have a lot of choices and knowledgeable staff/owners!
