We recently had a family celebration and chose to go to Saiwoo Garden for some great Chinese food. As usual we started with calamari which Saiwoo does to perfection. We followed that up with some wonton soup and several other entrees to complete our dinner for six. Food came out hot and fast. The quality and quantity of the food was excellent and the service was great. We will continue to go back!

Saiwoo is an amazing restaurant in the sketchy downtown area -- and well worth a trip there. The calamari melts in your mouth -- I detest it anywhere else, & never miss it at Saiwoo -- delicious!! The staff is so kind & accommodating. They made my husband's birthday an event -- Crown Royal toasts, & outstanding mango sticky rice ice cream & a,ding along!! The ginger beef & green onion hot pot is superb -- don't miss a chance to experience this Edmonton fixture -- it has been around for so long because it is consistent, has lovely staff, great portions & value for your money. Keep up the great food & we'll be back soon 😉!

Ordered from skip. Really strange tasting food…something was off. Plus there were little tiny shrimps in nearly every dish, which I was not aware of. The spring rolls and chicken vegetables were gross…not sure where all the good reviews are coming from but the food did not taste good at all.

This restaurant has been a family-run favorite for years, and it never disappoints. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The owner is a genuinely kind and down-to-earth person who clearly cares about his customers. If you're looking for amazing Chinese food downtown, I’d definitely recommend checking this place out.

Been coming here for 20 years with my family. Best Chinese in the city. A hidden gem.
I live in the lower mainland but usually make it to Edmonton a couple times a year in the fall and when I do buddies always go Sai Woo Garden for the great food, service and atmosphere.

This restaurant has been in the heart of China town for many decades. For good reasons, they are still around. The famous fried calamari never disappoints. No where can you find a replica of their secret recipe. This dish is a must when you visit Sai Woo. There are many other traditional Chinese dishes that are fantastic. I've been coming here since this place opened back in the day, and will definitely continue to do so. Highly recommended.
