I went there on weekday lunch time, the restaurant is not that big, with full of people, we had to waiting for 10min to be seated.

The rice noodle roll with fried dough is really good is my favorite.

Waitress was really polite and serve on time!

Overall will come back. My friends usually buy the freezer dim sum take out!

In the past few years, dim sum and eating out has become less affordable. However, this place has excellent value, prices are reasonable, and portions are large.
When we went, I believe they were short staffed (like pretty much everywhere else). So I can't speak to how good service would be if fully staffed. However, it was what you'd expect with a couple of people working their butts off trying to take care of everyone.

Don't expect much out of the atmosphere. You're not paying a lot of money to dine here - picture a cafeteria with some nicer decor.
I don't think they're here to give you an amazing night out. They're here to run a business and feed you at affordable prices.

All in all, I would come back here again.

This is the prime Chinese restaurant to bring your entire Chinese extended family to. They have reasonable prices for great quality and authentic Chinese food. There's few restaurants that do the 3 part Peking duck combo. My family especially likes their salt and pepper squid (they're pretty large chunks!), their shrimp (sorry I only know it in Chinese but it has a nice kick with the chili peppers), beef and gai lan, etc. There hasn't really been a dish we've been disappointed with each time we tried something new.

My family likes doing late night dinners and there's always tables with no wait.
No need to argue this is the best Chinese cuisine in Calgary. With the fair price, excellent food and service, I highly recommend this place for anyone, big or small family, couple, students, or even elders. They special food everyday with the best price. For couple I suggest combo 163 and 89 which costs around 35$. Remember to tip the service because most of the servers in there are elders. I guarantee you will have a great time in this restaurant. Let me know what is your favorite combo of food. :)

It was my first time to have Chinese dim sum lunch here. The waiting time was horrible. They don’t have a system to serve their customers waiting in line at the door. The tables were tightly fitted. Their were no service at all during my entire dining time. The waitress was not too friendly either. The food quality was just ok but the worse dish was the pan-fried turnip cakes. It was the worst one I ever had. It was bland and lack of ingredients. It tasted like eating a turnip mix with no flavour. The most unacceptable part was to pay the bill at the end of the meal. I had to wait in front of the counter for a long time and then their debit & credit card machine did not work, so everyone in line had to find enough cash to pay for their bill. It’s not worth it, I will never visit again!

I would say this Chinese restaurant is that best value for your money. Very large portions. You would pay same price at other Chinese restaurants with 1/2 -2/3 of phoenix portions. Super busy here recommend book tables and Peking duck. It will sold out quickly. Deep fried shrimp ball is best in town. Parking is not so great that that would be troublesome for customers to find parking.

Absolutely the best authentic Chinese food I had in a long time!!

First, the food portion is HUGE, typically larger than most places. I was shocked how much food you get on a plate, while some places are cutting back on portion size. Second, every single dish comes out shinny, yes shinny, like it was in some oil bath.. presentation looks gorgeous! Third, the food is delicious, comes out hot and full of flavours.. Definitely will return for more epic chinese food!

The service was excellent and the staff was super friendly...
