Their dim sum is quite good. The machang (sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf) is the best I’ve had in Calgary so far. I also really enjoyed their shrimp steamed rice roll. The steamed pork spare ribs have good flavor, though they could be more tender. The chicken feet are flavorful as well, but I personally wish they were spicier—though I understand that might not suit everyone’s taste. The BBQ pork bun is a must-try. The salted egg yolk lava bun isn’t the best I’ve had, but it’s still pretty good.

Super mediocre dim sum. They have pretty common dim sum dishes but are very mediocre.
The highlight was the shrimp dumplings. Beyond that their food was greasy, flavorless and generally not great. The restaurant is also quite dirty (multiple mouse traps and mouse droppings beside them).
They also ran out of a dish and decided not to tell us, they simply didn’t bring it.
They were understaffed but the three servers that were taking care of the whole place were handling it decently.

Real Authentic Chinese Restaurant Experience with bad service and all! If you’re looking for great service, turn around now. But if you’re after real authentic dim sum, complete with servers who forget to bring the tea you asked for three times - this is the place for you!
This place has it all: slow service, mild chaos, and steaming baskets of delicious dim sum that make you forgive (almost) everything. It’s my regular spot. I come for the food and stay because I’m still waiting for my hot sauce and water.

The food was terrible. The waiter’s service was good, but the manager’s attitude was absolutely disgusting. I have no idea why anyone still goes to this place. I will never come back again.

Close to home, convenient very friendly staff, food very flavorful, and excellent,and the dishes were generous portions. It was our second time there and we will be back again. Kudo's to the management and staff for our dinning experience.

A female staff with thick-framed glasses is very rude and impolite. She even did some aggressive behavior towards me and my family.

I wouldn’t rush back to have dim sum there again, as a lot of their dim sum are the packaged ones you can buy from T&T - you can see there are packaged steamed buns, for example, in their freezer behind the front counter. Another example is their pork and cabbage steamed buns (I think the entire $5 special menu is premade food), it is very obvious they are made in a factory by machines - texture of the bun and how all the fillings are perfectly round and the same size. We also had the “dry stir-fry beef ho fan” (乾炒牛河）, and that was very disappointing as well. It had zero “wok fay” and not a lot of flavour/taste.
There are some upsides, however. If you order some sort of fresh steamed fish, for example, they do get it from the T&T seafood department.
Overall, it is not a very authentic Cantonese cuisine experience, and I don’t see us going back there anytime soon.

Food is delicious, and you cant get food with such good price here in Calgary. Fresh ingredients since they are next to T&T, super convenient as well. The waitress are all smiling with great attitude. Very helpful, great experience indeed.

Our regular spot. Service is fabulous. Food quality is always on point. We're always here and will always be back!
Foods are good. But the service should be improvement, make our family felt not comfortable. Staffs were busying on the own, doesn’t care and not aware if customers need help at their surroundings.

The service was okay, however servers did not check on tables and it took needing to flag them down in order for them to come.
We ordered the Peking duck with wrappers, stir fried lamb with green onions, deep fried pork chop in salted egg sauce, and the spicy chicken pot.
The stir fried lamb with green onions had an abnormally strong smoky flavour, which indicated that the pot used wasn’t very clean and left charred after previous use.
The deep fried pork chop in salted egg sauce wasn’t very salty, and was just egg yolk. The pork used consisted largely of fat and bones, with very little meat.
The spicy chicken pot was only spicy. There was zero flavour from the meat as well as any spices. It was incredibly disappointing, so much so that we didn’t even pack it up to take home.
Overall, the quality did not match the price. Only thing we could eat and enjoy was the Peking duck with wrappers.

We ordered 4 dishes. Unfortunately only one dish tastes okay, and the other three were the worst compared to any other restaurant I have tried. Speaking of service, even with only 2 other tables of guests at the time, we still needed to get hot water by ourselves when we needed, with no server checking on us during our entire time here.

The food was just OK compared with other restaurants, but the service was absolutely awful. They ignored our appearance. We had to flag down the server 3 times to place an order. The lady at the cashier was so rude. Terrible experience.
