This is probably some of the best, if not the nest then top 3, restaurant for Chinese cuisine in Calgary. You order and they give you massive portions. The food is delicious and authentic. The store itself is air conditioned but a little cramped if anything. Love this place.
Fresh seafood and generous portions. The steamed fish and lobster were well cooked, and the Hong Kong-style noodles were flavorful. Service was friendly, and the restaurant handled our large group well. Overall, a pleasant dining experience.
We have been there around 30 times. Always great/hot/fresh food,and friendly service. It's usually really busy,and gets incredibly loud,if that is an issue for you. Staff are really busy,but try hard to help with orders,etc.
We have had dim sum across canada,and this is about the best we have had.
