    a plate of meat and sauce
    Tam M.

    Wow this place I have driven by so many times and it doesn't look like much on the outside but I ordered Peking duck from here and it was one of the best in Calgary. I've been to almost every Chinese restaurant to eat Peking duck and this place has the crispiest duck skin. The owner Jenny is so sweet she came and talked to us normally owners stay hidden in the back but you could tell she really cares about the customers.

    Cantonese Fried Noodles

    I placed an order for a Cantonese Fried Noodles, Salt & Pepper beef and a shrimp with cashews. The Cantonese fried noodles has really tasty broccolis and the noodles are nice and moist. The salt and pepper beef is a deep fried dish. I think they over cooked the beef and they may also have forgotten the salt. It was pretty tasteless and chewy even though it looks really good. The shrimp with cashew is also very tasty and goes well with steamed rice. Two out of three were a hit. I took off one star for the not so good salt and pepper beef.

    Slightly modified dinner for 2  After two helpings.

    Super friendly staff! Food was hot and ready when I got there. I don't think that there would be any more food packed into each container. The aroma taunted me all the way home. When I unpacked it it was as tasty as it smelled! I loved it. We have enough food until tomorrow's dinner!

    I keep receiving flyers from Emerald Garden in my mail, and I usually just toss them into the recycling. I don't know what made me change my mind the other day and finally order some food from this place. The place is on 16th and the food arrived surprisingly fast. It was like they already knew what I was going to order and had someone dispatched before I even called. It was awesome. And, because the food was so quick to come, it was still nice and warm when we got it. I love warm delivery. They have a pretty standard Chinese menu with the usual soup, noodles, fried rice, beef, chicken and pork dishes. They've also got a couple items that break the fold when it comes to menus such as duck, hot pot dishes, egg foo yung, and sizzling rice dishes, whatever that means. It has average prices for the food you get, but you always get a lot of food and have leftovers for a couple of days. That's the beauty of Chinese food. Emerald Garden certainly satisfied our taste buds that night and next time I won't be so quick to disregard the menu.

    Probably our fav chinese food place for Calgary. We have been going here for over 15 years. The food is always very tasty and fresh. We normally order the hot and sour soup. Then Szechuan chicken or beef on sizzling plate, ginger beef, Cantonese chow main. Everything is awesome and it's cool to try the Macau dishes as well.

    Cream of Chicken Corn Soup

    Our Family Favourite, this Chinese restaurant not only offers a Chinese food menu but also a Portuguese menu, an influence from MACAU, the Portuguese colony 40 minutes from Hong Kong, our family get togethers or celebrations happen here often, the service is always great, and the food, always pleasing and delicious, the only thing I can say is the seats are uncomfortable but everything else is great, I am trying to get family together here lots in 2015, the prices are great, just nice evenings out, our family fav dishes include the Ginger Beef, Ginger Chicken, Corn Soup, Coconut Rice, and many more.

    Vegetable Fried Rice
    Maria M.

    We tried this restaurant and it had a very nice cosy feel too it as you walked in. The place was constantly busy and had great service with the waitress able to tell you about the food and would tell exactly the difference between the different rice dishes. There are three large round tables for 6 and nice booths along the wall. Service very good. The fried vegetable rice was above average and the sizzling Szechwan Beef was very good and not overly spicy yet you could ask for it to be hotter. Portions of rice was good for two and the beef sauce was great for the fried rice. Yes, I would come here again and bring my friends here sometime..... open to 11:30 on a Friday night.. Yes they are very fast with bring out the food and was happily surprised. I would highly recommend this place nearby SAIT.

    Baked Portuguese Chicken
    Paul G.

    I've been here half a dozen times, and am always impressed by the consistent quality of both the food and the service. The sign says "Peking & Seafood", but they also specialize in dishes from Macau. These include various Portuguese seasoned char-grilled meats, and delicious curries with aniseed for an Asian twist. These are not items you'll find on many menus, but they are definitely approachable for the average Calgarian. If you're afraid to order new dishes in Chinatown because they might come with that nasty pork that has the texture of pocket lint, try the all-kinds-of-awesome offerings at Emerald Garden instead. You won't want to touch bobo balls or sweet and sour chicken with a ten foot chop stick afterwards!

A friend invited me to this restaurant. He explained that they have serious, authentic Szechwan fare, but would choose things that even a lao wai like myself could enjoy. Not gonna lie, there was some _heat_, but the flavours were more than worth it. I was probably the only pale guy in the place, which is often a good sign for a Chinese restaurant. The place was very busy, but the staff was incredibly thoughtful. The service was excellent and the food arrived rapidly. I shouldn't say "food". It was a Feast. Everything was cooked to perfection and simply delicious. My only warning (apart from listen to them when they say, "spicy") is that it is authentic. Some dishes will have the bones in. Some might have elements that you're not supposed to eat. Just like many European dishes don't intend for you to eat the whole cloves or peppercorns. If you don't have a native guide, just let the staff know. Judging from my own experiences, they'll treat you right.

I have never been to this restaurant. So the good news is I don't need to go to this restaurant any more.

Silver Dragon offers a unique experience having some dishes not carried in the united States. And the prices were cheap. Everything is moving fast too especially with a group the knows what they want. I think it made it confusing to the cart ladies trying to listen to everyone speaking at the same time but they provided correct answers. Everything was well done and presented. We got shrimp and pork shumai, pork buns, baked pork buns, egg custards, short ribs, etc. All in all we picked up about 20 dishes. That came to about $200 Canadian dollars, about $137 American dollars. With prices like that the thought of moving to Canada is real. However, the cold winter snow prevents me entertaining that thought at length.

    Yelpers need to step it up in Calgary. Only 171 reviews when Google has almost 2,400 reviews?…read more Silver Dragon was the most reviewed and highest rated dim sum restaurants in Calgary. I'm not sure why. The siu mai was mushy. The har gow was okay. The beef rice noodle roll was tasteless. My wife didn't like it. The tofu skin roll (sin jook goon) was not very good either. We only ordered 4 dishes because what we ordered was not good. We didn't want to order anything else. The worst dimsum place in the San Gabriel Valley is better than this place. Not a fan of this place. They might be better for dinner? Non dimsum? Service was better than the food.

Ok so the food is super cheap.. BUT ALSO, THE FOOD WAS ACTUALLY IMPRESSIVE TOO???? NOT TOO OILY, NOT TOO SALTY, GOOD AMOUNT OF SPICY HEAT, fried food actually crunchy. I really appreciated all of the above. I know the food probably isn't healthy still, but I hate when restaurant food has a puddle of oil. The noodles were a bit stuck together because of the lack of oil. Maybe this is why the squid was so crunchy too? The guy serving us in the front said his mom was cooking in the back. She's like she really cares about her customers and making sure they eat a bit more healthy, and of course, tasty food. Each dish had a good mix of veg and meat. They are NOT stingy on meat or veg. We also got the mapo tofu and it was better than t&t. Again, another thing I liked was how the mapo tofu sauce wasn't loaded with starch. In fact, I don't think there was any (along with any sugar) because the sauce was all watery in texture. Flavour and spice was perfect. Something unique about it was that it had a bunch of green peas. I know some people don't like peas. Lol. Overall, this place is genuinely good which is surprising given the insanely low prices. The staff is really nice and chill. I highly reccomend this place for takeout if you're looking for something low-key at home. Ps. There's no seating inside. This is purely a Chinese takeout joint. They have chairs inside if you're waiting for your food.
