    All day dim sum
    Lily V.

    When the dim sum cravings hit and we want to stay northside, Bai Wei is our go-to. An underrated gem, they have dim sum every day and the prices are cheaper than most other spots in the city! We've also never had to wait for a table and the food's always been fresh. They make some of the best curry squid I've had in Edmonton, and I aaaaalways want their salt & pepper tofu. Not in the mood for dim sum? Their lunch specials are inexpensive and great too!

    The food is absolutely amazing. You got to try the Taro Duck. It's absolutely amazing!!! Hot tasty quality food with a lot of flavour and the team has such appreciation of bringing good food to each table. The service is efficient, well kind workers and a team of smiling host that make sure you have a wonderful experience you won't forget. This place is a hidden underrated treasure that you must try, the environment is homey - clean and a place filled with happy customers. Highly recommended (:

    This was my first visit at this restaurant. My extended family decided to dine here for dinner. We ordered a dinner set menu to share. Soup, rice and dessert was included in the price. Food tasted surprisingly authentic as I do not normally dine Chinese here in Edmonton. Service was fast and efficient. Overall, this is a decent Chinese option in Edmonton.

    Hubs and I were sooooooo excited when we found out fluke that the chef from Spicy Garden (closed Chinatown restaurant) came here! On the menu is our much missed and beloved favourite dish of all time - Spicy Pork Wontons on the appetizer menu. I'm seriously happy just to go to town on a bowl of these won tons in the insane chili garlic sauce! We've tried about a dozen dishes on the menu here but the Spicy Pork Wontons are the reason we come back here. Prices are on the higher end of traditional Chinese but the food is of excellent quality and they are happy to accommodate your special requests. The decor is mostly the same as when this restaurant was Far East. Another bonus here is they are usually open late and will still seat you at 10pm. See you soon for Spicy Pork Wontons, see you soon!

    We eat here about once a month and we always order the exact same thing. The dry garlic spare ribs, the house special chow mein, and the house special fried rice. This costs about $60 with tax and it will feed four adults with maybe enough for one meal of leftovers. This location has gone through a few names since I've lived in Edmonton and I feel this iteration may be the best. The dry garlic spare ribs are crispy, fatty, and garlicy although the portion size leaves a little to be desired. The deep fried pieces of garlic go really well with the fried rice so don't throw those out! The fried rice is a good portion and there's always left overs. I personally prefer my fried rice vegetarian because I find they put in a lot more veggies vs the ones with meat in them. The chow mein is pretty standard. There's usually sliced pork char siu, chunks of chicken breast, and a few prawns to go along with the bok choi, celery, carrots, onions, and canned baby corn. There are cheaper restaurants but this one is close and consistent so we will be going back monthly.

    This was my first time here. I thought that the service was excellent and very attentive. The food was served quickly and was very tasty! Our family loves the Dry Garlic Pork Ribs ($16.95). I've eaten a lot of ribs but these are kinda different! The ribs were hot (in temperature), crunchy and seasoned perfectly! They were super easy to bite into and very delicious! We tried the Prawns with Mayonnaise Sauce and Peaches ($20.95). Some people who haven't tried this dish before, might think it sounds strange but if you like prawns, you should give it a try! I've tried different variations of this dish and this one was pretty good! My parents thought the prawns were a bit overcooked and chewy but I didn't feel the flavor was affected in any way. I enjoyed this dish! The fried rice and the chow mein were pretty standard. The veggies seemed fresh to me. I had no complaints here. I recommend coming with a group of people so you can share a number of dishes. They have set menus for 2-8 people but I prefer to try other items available on the menu. Overall, my first impression is that I like this place! Some of the dishes seem a bit pricey but from what I've experienced, the food is cooked well and tastes good! I'll be back to try the other dishes on the menu!

When the crab was brought out looked and said ain't NOWAY this crab is 2lbs. Maybe a little over 1lb. I asked to speak to the server or the manager in duty. I took the pic of coarse. Server said that the kitchen may have took the wrong crab . She would adjust the price afterward. When the bill arrived NO adjustment was made. When the bill arrived they never mention the adjustment, charged $97 for crab. We asked to speak to the manager, after more than 5mins and us paying the bill. The manager arrive, he was sorry that the bill wasn't adjusted. We accepted his apologies. I expressed my opinion of his establishment. I told him that it bad practice to do bait and switch of the crab. Overall its bad business to do this to customers first timer or regulars I'm for sure NEVER ever gonna dine at the establishment.

    Edmonton isn't necessarily known as a hot spot for the best Chinese food in the country (it's no…read moreRichmond, BC or Scarborough, ON) but this cuisine is certainly on its way up. With renewed appreciation for the city's Chinatown and innovators like Fu's on the scene, people are taking notice in a delicious way. My stomach is very pleased to be a part of this renaissance and reframing of Asian fare in Edmonton. I bet you didn't know that we have soup dumplings in town - and I mean really good ones. Named Favourite Dish on the Edmonton Food Faves We Crave 2022 and 2024 lists, this was a dish that I absolutely needed to try. Visiting on a dark and cold Saturday evening, we made the trek out to Dominion Industrial, unsurprisingly not a part of the city that I often frequent. By now you know that I am always happy to venture around for food! The outside of the restaurant is very unassuming and you might even miss it if you don't know what you're looking for. Keep an eye out for the red awning and you'll know that you've found the right place. There's parking around the side and back of the building. Entering through the door and walking into the space, I was immediately struck by a wave of tantalizing hot and sour aromas. A friendly staff member guided us to a table in the decently-sized dining room and I began to take everything in. The room is somewhat modest but maybe a little futuristic with chrome-topped tables and matching chairs. Huge round tables are outfitted with big rotating trays in the center, waiting to accommodate large groups. I liked that each place setting was ready with a bowl, soup spoon, teacup, and chop sticks. A picture of the Shanghai city skyline decorates the wall. Circling back to the staff, we were served by two different women during our visit and both were absolutely lovely. Incredibly warm, friendly, attentive, and helpful. The menu is quite extensive and they were happy to answer all of our questions and made useful recommendations. They really elevated our visit! Upon sitting down we were delivered the customary pot of jasmine green tea - very welcome due to the frigid temperature outside. The warm sips were an ideal way to defrost while creating a plan for our feast. Shanghai 456 is known for their soup dumplings but they serve a whole lot more. The menu is really big and it took a little while for us to decide all of the different dishes that we wanted to try. We got there eventually but not without some effort! Once the order was placed the various plates began to arrive in no particular order. The feast had begun! We thought that a noodle dish would be a good "base" for the meal. I liked the sound of the Shanghai style smoked fish noodle but was informed that it was served as a soup. Soup is harder to share among a group so instead we went with the Shanghai Noodle Sautéed with Pork and Vegetables ($16.95). The ample portion of wok-fried noodles was served hot and delicious. Each tender and thick noodle was bathed in a tasty and savoury sauce. The cabbage within the dish added a nice fresh crunch and the thin strips of pork helped to round out the plate. These noodles were easy to eat and very satisfying. After that, we leaned into the Shanghai Dim Sum part of the menu hard - all remaining dishes came from this part of the menu, arguably what the restaurant is most known for. So much to choose from and so many plates that caught my eye! Next to arrive was the Sticky Rice Roll with Chinese Long Donut and Dried Pork Floss ($7.95). I was too intrigued by the idea of this dish to not try it. It arrived looking kind of like a sushi roll but that was the beginning and the end of the similarity. I'm a huge fan of Chinese long donuts (you can get the best ones in Edmonton at Shan Shan Bakery in Chinatown) so I was really curious to find out how this would work within a rice roll. Turns out, it works really well! A wonderful combination of sweet and savoury combined with some really interesting textural elements from the sticky rice to the crispy donut to the dry shards of pork. I've never tried anything like this before and it was fun to eat! Then it was time for the traditional Chinese broth-filled dumplings! Otherwise known as xiao long bao (or XLB if you're extra cool). "Xiao long" refers to the bamboo steaming basket which they are prepared in, while "bao" means bun and refers to the dumpling itself. They can be made with all sorts of different fillings on the inside. There is also a specific way for them to be eaten - you don't just start tossing them into your mouth (although I'm sure that no one would be mad if you did). The little ritual involved in eating the bao adds to the special experience. You are meant to lift the dumpling from its top with chopsticks and place it into your spoon. Then you poke a hole into the bottom of the bao to release the hot broth. There is soup inside of each dumpling! First you drink the hot broth out of the spoon and then you enjoy the rest o

Food came out fast and hot. All of it was delicious. I really can't pick a favourite. The dumplings were well made and stuffed full of tasty meat, the chow mein was perfectly cooked - simple but good, and the fried rice was a huge helping. We were both full but kept eating because it was so delicious. Try it!

If you're looking at cooking your own dim sum at home that tastes just as good as the restaurant or making some fresh noodle dishes - this is the place to go!

I had curiously wanted to try their fresh shanghai noodles and was told I should try some when I was eyeing it. Without missing a beat they offered a pack for free for me to try. Definitely have gone back and bought more! Tips: Don't steam any of the dim sum in a regular stainless steel steamer. Get a proper bamboo steamer (I found some from TNT for a decent price) - and do not get the small sized ones you see at the dim sum places, pick up the large 20cm or wider ones and get a pot that can hold them (I use a wide 29 cm pot from Canadian tire and rest the bamboo steamers on top the matching bamboo steamer sits perfectly and can hold about 50 pieces of siu-my). They close early so the chances of you getting what you want (if it's a popular item) are slim - it's definitely best to call in your order the day before to ensure they can make enough, sooner if it's around Christmas time. See picture for available dim sum you can order (note it's all frozen and is intended to be steamed from frozen)

I live in a part of the city where there is a huge gap in the market, not considered part of the south because of proximity to the river, but too far south to be considered central, so the number of places that will deliver to my home is extremely limited. However, Dynasty delivers anywhere in the city and that is a big plus in our books given the current circumstances. Ordering is easy, even if you don't speak cantonese. If you prefer to order in English, you can text your order or call the cell phone. While phoning the restaurant's mainline, depends on who is available to answer the phone for the day. They have a bunch of great promos going on that change from time to time, but currently, it's 20% off their entire menu and if you spend over $45, you also get to select a rice or noodle dish (from 4 options) for free. And delivery is free. While the take out menu is redacted and not the full menu, I think most of the popular items are available, so you should be able to find what you are looking for! The food always comes fresh and packed nicely, each in it's own respective container, and plenty of sauce as well. If you want extra you can probably ask for more, but usually what they provide is enough for us. Their pricing is really great value and you get a generous portion of food for the price. The only downside is there is no option to pay in advance, so you pay upon delivery and they have mobile merchant terminal, so paying with credit card/debit is possible, and I would imagine preferred as that would be the more contact less way to pay.

    I've driven by Golden Rice Bowl thousands of times and somehow it has always been a restaurant that…read morehas eluded me. Well no more! I finally made my way to this iconic Calgary Trail North spot that is beloved for dim sum on a Saturday evening and was excited to sample all of their small plates! In fact, the Edmonton Journal named Golden Rice Bowl as the Best/Favourite Dim Sum Restaurant 2020, 2022, and 2023. It was high time that I experienced it for myself! You'll find Golden Rice Bowl in a strip mall-style plaza that is full of various businesses and yes, if you've been an Edmontonian for any amount of time, you've driven by regularly. The restaurant looks large from the outside with huge red lettering alerting passersby to the dim sum within. The inside is just as expansive, boasting a huge open dining area. I noticed that they have various partitions and the ability to section off parts of the room if needed - likely for private events. As with many Chinese restaurants, you are immediately greeted by a sizable (and very clean!) aquarium filled with beautiful tropical fish. However, I was even more impressed by the aquariums at the very back of the restaurant - these ones filled with live fish and seafood for the kitchen. It doesn't get much fresher than that! The room is ornate but not overdone. Bright red paint on the walls is accented by golden decor items such as gilded dragons with glowing eyes. The ceiling drips with crystal chandeliers and the space is filled with a sea of tables in various sizes. This is the type of place where large generational families come to gather, sitting around huge round tables with a signature lazy susan in the center of each one. Once seated we were served a pot of Chinese Tea ($1.50 each) and began to peruse the menu. (No, the tea was not included.) I liked that all of the dishware was matching, from the teapot to the bowls. Golden Rice Bowl is known for their dim sum but they also boast a complete and extensive menu of general Chinese food. There's a lot to choose from! However, on my visit the plan was to stick to the dim sum menu only, which is available all day long (even though it is traditionally eaten as brunch). Originating in the south of China, dim sum features a wide variety of small, bite-sized dishes typically served in steamer baskets or on small plates. It's pretty similar to the Spanish concept of tapas. Many dim sum restaurants use trolley carts to parade their offerings around, however a more modern practice is to provide guests with a checklist menu that you fill out and hand back to your server. Golden Rice Bowl does neither of these things and the server simply writes down your order in typical fashion. The dim sum menu is two pages long and offers over fifty items! Some of the dishes were larger, family-style plates which makes sense to round out the meal especially at dinnertime. The only issue is that there are no prices listed on the dim sum menu so you sort of just have to hope for the best? Our feast began with an order of Wor Wonton Soup ($29.95). At first we assumed the this would be served as single servings but the server pointed out that it would come as one big soup to share. Very glad that he clarified this! I was very impressed by our gracious and attentive server who portioned the bowls of soup for each of us at our table. Giant in size, this was much more than a basic wonton soup with a couple of dumplings floating around! This flavourful version was packed full with big pieces of chicken, pork, and shrimp. Plus tons of vegetables, and yes, of course wonton dumplings containing a meaty filling. Every ingredient was bright and fresh and I was glad to get some veggies into the meal because dim sum can be quite a "brown dinner." The other larger dish that we ordered was the Ginger Beef ($29.95), a dish invented in Calgary with an interesting history. Certainly not traditional, ginger beef is a quintessential Canadian Chinese dish that was invented in the 1970s. Deep fried strips of beef are coated in a dark, sweet sauce and it's quite delicious. The tanginess of the sauce is so addictive and the texture of the beef is satisfying. The version at GRB is quite good, however the best ginger beef that I've ever tasted was at Emerald Garden Restaurant in Calgary. Then it was time for the actual dim sum! Little plates incoming!! We really wanted to try the Pan Fried Taro Root with Pork Sausage but were unfortunately informed that they did not have any available. Our server suggested the Pan Fried Chinese Turnip with Pork Sausage ($7.95) instead, which did look somewhat similar. (The fact that the dim sum menu shows images of every item is very helpful!) Unfortunately, this turned out to be the least favourite dish of the night just because the texture was really challenging. These cakes were extremely soft and mushy. I actually did enjoy the flavour of the turnip and sausage but the mushiness was a bit too difficult to get around.

    This is one of our favourite places to come for dim sum. The staff are always friendly and kind…read more They are very family friendly here and always treat the kids so well.
