    Cantonese Chow Mein
    Geoffry H.

    I decided to order in to have Chinese Food for a pre Christmas treat from Famous Chinese Restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised to receive my order in a timely manner delivered by a very pleasant gentleman. I ordered a large Hot and Sour soup that truly hit the spot, along with Ma Po Bean Curd which was cooked exactly to the spice level I wanted. In addition, I ordered Canonese Chow Mein and Szechuan Style Fried rice; both were very good. I found the prices to be reasonable so my opinion of the Famous Chinese Restaurant has improved significantly. I have no problem recommending them and they satisfied my Christmas craving for Chinese food.

    Overall experience: 3 Customer service: 4 Location: 5 Affordability: 4 Quality: 3 We placed a takeout order on May 29th, 2023 for chicken fried rice and spring rolls. We decided to give this Chinese restaurant a chance, because they had some recent good Google reviews. We were able to place our take out order very easily, because their staff were bilingual and spoke excellent English. When I arrived at the restaurant to pickup my order, it was very nice that there was some customer parking in the back. Once I stepped into the restaurant, I was quickly greeted and given my takeout food. Our overall opinion of our Chinese food was just average. We were disappointed that there wasn't much chicken in our chicken fried rice. Our spring rolls were dry and appeared to be overcooked. I will admit that this restaurant has descent prices but their portions aren't as plentiful as most other Chinese restaurants. Not a place I would patronize again. @glampedlife

    Food was ok. We had very low expectations and were then pleasantly surprised. The mapo tofu was cut into way too large of pieces, the hot sour soup lacked flavor depth, and the vegetables were overcooked. Rest of the food was decent. Downside is the restaurant apparently doesn't give out any white rice with the entrees? Unheard of. Further to that, the restaurant didn't ask either. $2.50/small rice in case anyone is wondering. The poor delivery guy had to run back and forth twice. He was super nice and so quick, which was highly appreciated.

    Literally the best Chinese food in the world and I have been to many countries. Sauces, quality meats, preparation, presentation -- top shelf! thank u

    Sweet & sour shrimp

    BUT WHY IS THE WAITRESS ALWAYS RUNNING?!!!! When we came in it was a mad house. Like what is going on. She was running with food, plates, water - all contributing to the frazzled environment. Finally someone seated us. Ok I'd give this place a 2.5 because the food is actually good. But the service is just weird, AND there was a HAIR in our wonton soup!! Gross! We ordered the Sweet & Sour Shrimp (good), Yang Chow Fried Rice (eh wouldn't order again), Wor Wonton Soup (the large is barely enough to feed 4), and Spicy Szechaun Beef (good, like the spice). They charge extra for steamed rice. It's overpriced but that's because of the touristy area. Interior is like an old lodge, a bit stuffy but overall ok.

    The Szechuan (spicy) items are Amazingly good! We came here several times and got the fish in hot/spicy oil fish each time. I'm from the SF Bay Area and this place might be better than the ones back home. Negatives are there's basically no restaurant parking and they charge for tea and white rice. The owner lives on the premises and does most of the cooking.

    wonton soup

    Decent restaurant in Canmore. It has good lunch special. If you happen to visit Canmore Canada, please check them out. In the same time, you should plan to visit Canmore mountain or farmer market on every Thursday from May to October. We're here for Sled Dog tour and farmer market and visited this restaurant. Somehow Canadian Chinese restaurants has good wonton soup as pre-meal item. We order the Sichuan pan fried noodle and the spicy beef. The noodle is the best on our selection. The chicken is average. Since the lunch special is a deal, we order to go for our take cabin food. Eve though there is only one person in front of the restaurant, but he was able to provide good services. Food is good and the price is right. They are located in downtown and make it convenient to walk to.

    BBQ pork & veggie stir fry and chicken fried rice
    Sarah G.

    Was craving Chinese food while in Canmore and this filled that craving! Got the BBQ pork and veggies dish with chicken fried rice. Super flavourful. Great portions for reasonable price. Took about 15mins to get it from the moment I ordered.

    Definitely NOT authentic Chinese cuisine. It's just a Canada-style Chinese flavor restaurant. NOT a CHOICE

    As a Chinese person, I felt that it wasn't authentic and even close to what I usually have.

    Thai House Restaurant - Tom Kha soup

    The pad thai is probably the best I've had! We were craving Thai food and stopped here around 3pm…read moreon a Wednesday. It's a casual place, they wern't overly busy and were sat right away. For a starter we had the shrimp salad roll. We did not like the flavor of the sauce so much as has a vinegar flavor with chopped peanuts. The kicker is the menu says "2 pieces" but is really just one regular size roll cut in half for $7, not impressed with that. I ordered the Tom Kha noodle soup with chicken and my guy had the Pad Thai, where he asked for chicken and shrimp but came out with chicken and tofu. The Tom Kha soup lacked the flavors I was looking for and was a bit on the bland side. We had to ask the server for the chili dishes for seasoning and the container she brought out was basically empty, having to scrape the sides. We waited for her to come back around and asked for one with that wasn't empty. We also asked for fresh lime which I was surprised didnt come for my soup, and it made the taste much better. The Pad Thai, which I didn't get a picture of, was a good sized portion and the flavor was perfect in my opinion! I normally don't even like Pad Thai, but here they don't overly sauce it and has a nice smoky flavor. In fact we both said we would come back just for that. All in all this place has decent food, minus the salad rolls, the portions are enough and the service is ok. I would say give it a try.

    Extremely unprofessional and downright rude customer service…read more We placed a large takeout order over $300 and even tipped $40+ on top of that. When we got home, we realized several dishes were missing rice including curries and laab. I have NEVER been to a restaurant that serves curry with no rice. When we called to politely ask about it, the owner herself responded with: "That's on you. We didn't ask you to tip." Then she immediately hung up on us. To spend that much money, tip generously, and still be treated with such hostility is shocking. If this is how the owner thinks customers should be treated, it speaks volumes about how little they value the people keeping their business alive. Save yourself the money, the disrespect, and the disappointment. There are far better restaurants that will treat you with basic courtesy.

You'll need to walk downstairs to get in. It's an order-at-the-counter spot, and they bring the food to your table. They offer a variety of noodle dishes ranging from Thai and Japanese to Malaysian. I ordered the Thai tom yum noodle soup, and my husband got the beef soup. If you're looking for authentic Thai tom yum, this isn't it--it's more like tom yum broth with noodles added, which is different from traditional tom yum noodle soup. That said, it was still good enough for me. My husband thought the beef soup was just okay. The staff was nice and friendly. Overall, it's a solid and convenient stop, but not a must-visit for me.

Very friendly, very cozy, and food came out almost immediately since it was a late lunch time. Service was spot on. They have a good choice of food. Not the usual big serving, it was enough for one person and I like that it was not very salty and just enough seasoning/spice. The Ube croquetas was a good surprise, the Ube itself was almost tasteless but combined with the breaded coating made it hard to put down. The takoyaki was pleasantly good, came out immediately after it was cooked. I recommend that as well. A very good place to enjoy warm soup and what looked like a family owned business. Check them out!
