Some reviewers complained about the low lighting and supposedly dated decor but we loved it for the peaceful atmosphere it created. Much better than the stark walls & glaring lighting of so many other places. And, the music was so relaxing and gentle, again adding to the atmosphere. If we lived in Edmonton it would be a regular venue for us.

I can see this being Very busy if Rogers event center had an event. Place was 20% full Monday at 6PM. The decor is very unique and lovely. We tried the buffet which is on daily. The server brings over wonton soup to start before you head to the buffet. It was great. Overall the buffet was fine. Very fresh and hot but also pretty normal. Nothing stood out as spectacular. The shrimp was very well cooked. The green onion cakes as well were great. The spring rolls were very empty of filling. The chicken dumplings were great. Fried rice and noodles were fine. Lots of breaded meats or well sauced meats. You get a very fresh donut at the end - which was very tasty. Overall a good Chinese food buffet.

They even do great breakfast sandwiches in the morning (totally westernized versions). They are located in the food court of the Telus plaza off Jasper Ave. My mouth is watering

The meals for a certain number of people are a pretty decent deal. For Westernized Chinese food this place does reasonably well though admittedly I was disappointed by a dish or two.

The restaurant wasn't terribly busy at the time of our most recent visit but they were busy with delivery and take out orders. There is plenty of street parking in the neighbourhood and transit is reasonable here as well.

However, it can be a challenge to find a parking spot if people are attending church at the time you arrive. My family has been eating here for a few years and I even celebrated my 25th wedding anniversary here. Alex and the rest of the staff ensures all the customers are well taken care of. He had heart balloons and flowers for our table which made the occasion even more special. The food is fabulous, the peaches and shrimp dish is so good as well as the beef with Gai lan and the tofu assorted vegetable hot pot. Noodles and desserts are great as well! We have tried so many dishes here it is hard to name them all. This restaurant is also on SkipTheDishes and with my referral, my office has ordered on several occasions. Everyone was very happy with their lunch choices! Excellent food and service, prices are very reasonable and if this restaurant was closer to my home, we would be eating her all the time!

Sai Woo was the first place that came to mind. Our experience was lovely. We were seated quickly, as the restaurant was largely empty, with tea and menus coming immediately. We picked a couple of favourite dishes and set about our visiting. The food arrived quickly, and all expectations were met. It was all delicious, and the portions generous. The service was excellent. Attentive, but not intrusive. The restaurant itself is dated in terms of decor, but is clean and rife with character. This is exactly the type of restaurant I love.

If you're unfamiliar with authentic Southern Chinese cuisine from Guangdong, Shenzhen or Hong Kong, this is the place to experience it. For just $24, they serve you a feast with incredibly generous portions. Two of us couldn't even finish our order of about 5-6 dishes. We only spent $85 including tips. The service was like "real western Chinese restaurant service" - no service, which is neither good nor bad. Just thought I'd mention it. Haha

Huge change from the dark paint and warehouse styling from the previous AYCE sushi place. They have divided the space nicely including a large private room. It also helps that YEG's notorious Boyle St Co-op, formerly next door, has been raised to the ground, thus moving the hardcore zombies a few blocks north. You can actually park your vehicle safely in their free lot now, for up to 2 hours. Security is watching and even checks in with you when you park. As for the food, in my experience it's all been great! The menu is a funny combo of different cuisines, definitely befitting the name "bistro". There are a variety of asian dishes (Chinese, Japanese, Thai), HK-style foods and very traditional western cuisine like beef bourguignon. That one intrigues me, super old school and looks really good. There are also some set menus that come with drinks. It's one of the few places I feel spoiled for interesting selection, hard to make a choice. Chinatown Dining Week has brought me back here three times in as many weeks, got hooked by the beef and sour veg steamed in a lotus wrap. This visit my husband got the gyukatsu set, which was really good if you can live with slightly sweet Glico-style curry. The omurice was perfect. Their katsu particularly is really, really good, better than your average schnitzel, and much cheaper! Have been back a few times and even brought the extended family. There's something for everyone! Everything we've tried has been tasty, fresh and a generous portion. Previously we tried the bistro premium fried rice which had scallops and tobiko, delicious. My food-restricted niece tried the crispy shrimp appy, which were really tasty and more like prawn-size. Not sure she got many back after offering to share with the table. Ah Chinatown. Been coming here my whole life but always get the side-eye, usually from the owner, until ordering. The experience wouldn't be the same without it. The other staff were more genuinely friendly and happy the food was enjoyed. One01Bistro is officially a new family favourite, especially before events at Rogers Place. Psst also... cheap beer.

There is also a lunch buffet option but we didn't try it out. Service and ambiance - 3/5. It wasn't busy so they were not paying much attention. Once you are able to flag them down, they do provide services relatively quickly Cleanliness - 2/5. Typical, some dirty dishes. The server saw but didn't do anything and wanted to put soup in it. We quickly grabbed a new set where multiple sets were ready for distribution when neccessary. As Asians, we generally wash all of our bowls and utensils prior using as our practice with hot water or tea (depending on what you ask for). Food - 4/5. The chicken casserole was flavourful, just a lot of bones. The beef was very soft and tender. The sweet and sour pork chops had a thick tangy sauce but good that it had a light batter around the meat, which kept the meat moist. The chicken is the typical dish you can get at most Chinese restaurants. It was interesting that it actually sat in a soy sauce base. The ginger sauce is missing the typical green onions. However, it was seasoned quite well. I didn't take a picture of dessert though. It was red bean with glutinous rice sweet soup. I actually quite enjoyed it. Overall: 3.5/5. It's an ok place to try if you are in the area. It's has free parking. Just be vigilent with the bowls and utensils.
