Dropped by for dinner during Calgary visit…read more It was quite busy, however got a table after a short wait. - utensils were kind of dirty on arrival so had to get them switched out. Toke over 10 minutes to get tea to the table, and to place an order. Service was typical - after you finally get to order, and your food arrives , they vanish until it's time to pay. Easily one of the worst sweet and sour pork I've ever had. Pieces were hard, some were just blobs of batter refried and just shatter like glass, sauce was beyond sour - bell peppers and onions were nearly not present in the dish. Fried rice was decent, good portion - However, there was a few cold spots. - fair portion of seafood in this one. Not worth a re-visit for me - but maybe be your own judge, since the reviews seem very mixed here.

This restaurant in Calgary's Chinatown was highly recommended by a family member, and they were…read moreabsolutely right. We had been eating overly heavy dinners over the past few days, so we decided to be relatively gentle with our order this time. Here is a breakdown of what we tried: Xiao Long Bao (小籠包 - Soup Dumplings): This is my daughter's favorite, so we ordered two baskets for her. They were executed beautifully. They were well-steamed on a clean sheet, and thankfully, there was no grayish blood seeping out of the meat. The wrapper (麵 皮) was right on the spot--not too hard or soft, not too thick or thin, and it didn't have that rubbery "chewing gum" or mushy "play dough" texture you get at lesser places. The pork filling tasted clean with no funky pork smell. Very nice. Beef and Tendon Noodle Soup: This was just okay, but to be fair, I don't expect a flawless bowl of beef noodle soup from a restaurant that doesn't strictly specialize in it (especially at a Dim Sum-focused spot). The broth was a bit plain and served lukewarm. The tendon, however, was well-cooked and well-marinated with a pleasant taste; it was a bit on the firmer side, which didn't bother me. The noodles were on the softer, sparser side rather than dense and chewy. I personally prefer a firmer noodle, but again, I can't complain too much given the venue. Spicy Tofu and Preserved Egg (麻辣皮蛋豆腐): I really liked this dish. The tofu had a fantastic, fresh soy taste, the preserved egg was delicious, and the chili oil and soy sauce dressing was perfectly balanced. If you are wondering what these "black eggs" are and feel a bit hesitant or concerned about trying them, I highly recommend giving them a shot here. This dish will easily fix those concerns! Overall, it was a great meal. I will definitely return, and next time we have the appetite, I'll dive deeper into the dishes they truly specialize in.

However, second day we thought getting a quick bite before we head over to the airport back to LA. But holy crap the service was rude as F. We first went in and the front desk lady took us to a window desk which was nice but she hesitated and give us another seat. We asked her so we can't sit at window seat? She responded "no" without given a reason. Guess what?! The next thing you notice she lets a nice looking Caucasian family sit at the window seat. Hey that's fine! but we are now trying to order some food now, but guess what? Waiter just ignores us and kept going to the window seat with his passionate services he was providing. While I was trying to ask for a tea... he didn't even ask what kind of tea and just throw me a random tea... I was furious cause this never happened in California at least not to me. He kept going to the window seat and ignoring us. So we just got up and left. 0 tips required to give in this restaurant. Very rude service and plays FAVORITE on which customer they decide to treat well. RUDE SERVICE and please stop discriminating!!!

The staff came across as very rude and at times dismissive. I'm not sure if it was due to miscommunication or the restaurant being busy, but it definitely impacted our experience. We were also given dirty utensils on more than one occasion, which was disappointing. As for the food, it was okay at best. The standouts were the peking duck and the salt & pepper squid, which were easily my favorite dishes of the meal. Everything else was fairly average. Overall, while there were a couple of dishes I enjoyed, the poor service and cleanliness issues would make me hesitant to return.

For food, I tried several of their items: - Peking Duck: 7/10: Pretty good flavour but authentic peking duck pieces shouldn't be like that (with so much meat) - Salted Fish & Eggplant: 9/10: Quite authentic given the salted fish used (a lot of places opt for lesser or alternatives as salted fish give a stronger flavour than others, i.e. salted cod) - Salted Egg & Tofu: 8.3/10: Good flavour and cookedness, albeit some pieces were really dry - Strawberry Ribs. 8.5/10: Interesting dish worth trying as it's similar to sweet and sour pork but with strawberry/jam instead and seen in HK.

They make their noodles in house and they taste fresh and have got a good texture. You are welcome with a complimentary bottomless jasmine tea. This tea tastes refreshing and floral. I have tried few of their dishes. I like their steamed chicken with rice. It's topped with julienne ginger and chopped red Birds Eye chillies. If you love spicy food, I will highly recommend this dish. It's a simple dish but done so perfectly. It's always tender and juicy. Their ginger beef with Shanghai noodles is amazing too. Plus any meat sauted in black beans sauce is worth a try. I feel prices are a bit on higher side. For chicken and rice it's $14.95 plus tax. Normally in most similar places they would give you some kind of sautéed vegetables. Still overall a great place to have lunch or dinner. Service is always great. Highly recommended!!

After living in China for a year, I love coming to Fat Kee. My favourites are the pan fried…read moredumplings, the salt and pepper squid, and the hot and sour soup. Takeout is super easy, and our food has always been ready 15 minutes after ordering by phone. Fat Kee is located in the back corner of an industrial-type area, so sometimes the parking lot is full; however, we have always been able to find a spot. The dining area is comparable to a school cafeteria, but the trade off in good food is worth any fanciness you might care about. Sandy is our usual server, and she is prompt, professional and friendly. I don't know how she keeps track of all her responsibilities, but she is really on top of things!

I came across Golden Sand on Google, looked through the menu, and decided I wanted to give a new restaurant a try. The quality is great by Calgary standards, and they have a decent selection of dishes. My personal favourite is the rice rolls, particularly the beef and egg rice roll. The service is great too. Apparently, they opened during COVID, so they're still relatively new. I can now say that this is our favourite dim sum restaurant in the city! Hopefully, they'll continue to maintain the quality of their food. We'll definitely be back and I'd even like to try dinner there someday!
