Regency Palace is offering a special promotion - $32.98 for three course Peking duck special. This is a wicked deal. Normally, just the Peking duck wraps are $32.99 and up, depending on where you go. We received so many pieces of duck and crepes - this order feeds at least four plus leftovers. There was a good amount of meat with each piece of crispy skin. We even had crepes leftover, which never happens. The fried duck rice was tasty. You can choose duck fried noodles as an alternative to the rice. I liked the bits of egg and green beans in the rice. I picked the duck broth soup with tofu, which tasted health'ish and nourishing. There's also sweet and sour soup for those looking for something more westernized. The third option for the soup course is duck congee, which I love, but its not to everyone's taste. I'm not sure how much longer Regency will be offering the Peking duck special. I would guess one more week, but if you want to try it, just give them a call. I found the staff very friendly and helpful on the phone and in person.

Pork and Shrimp Siu Mai

This place is a must-eat in Chinatown! The taste is very authentic, siu mai and beef rice noodles were amazing. Service was friendly, I felt very welcome. Nice and spacious restaurant. Will be coming back!

Regency Palace is a Chinese dim sum and buffet restaurant located inside Dragon City Mall in Calgary's Chinatown district. Open from 10-10 every day, it's a spacious room that gets fairly busy during lunch and dinner hours, but nowhere near capacity levels. The décor is simple and a tad outdated, while the atmosphere is typical of a buffet, with hordes of diners that span all ages and demographics. I visited during their weekday lunch buffet and found the service to be just okay. My server seemed uninterested in her job and lacked basic serving skills - once my water was filled as I had started eating, she never came back to refill it until I was ready to pay the bill. The price of the buffet was fair and slightly cheaper than at Buffet Yangtze, where I had dined a few weeks before. Don't let the price fool you, however, as the food is not nearly as good when it comes to quality and taste. For a place that deems themselves a "seafood restaurant", their seafood selection during the lunch buffet was slim. I did enjoy the chicken drumsticks, the pork, and the wide noodles here quite a bit, but found many of the items far too greasy or just bland in taste. I didn't try their dim sum selection, so I can't comment on that. Of worthy note - a lady near me ordered a Rum & Coke and had to call the server back because there was no alcohol in the drink. If you're in Chinatown and want to drop under $20 to stuff your face with a myriad of different foods, this place might be a top contender. However, if you're serious about real Chinese food and don't want to leave with oil stains on your shirt, you're much better off exploring Chinatown for something more refined!

Had fish, lobster, sweet and sour pork, scallops. The food was pretty good. it's a fair Chinese restaurant. I do not recommend the buffet or the hot pot.

Ordered delivery and received siu mai that were raw in the middle. Didn't notice until one had already been half-eaten. Disgusting.

Ordered delivery via Skip the Dishes. The siu mai I received were raw in the middle. Not only is this disgusting, but it's dangerous too. Will never order from them again. Edited to add: Skip gave me a full refund, at least. Thanks Skip!

chicken with garlic sauce

the dim sum menu was decent (ordered green tea, shrimp dumplings, pork buns, squid with curry, bbq pork fried rice and chicken with garlic sauce) everything tasted okay except the chicken was still bloody and unpleasing! on top of that one of our servers were extremely rude and inpatient. came here with friends and a couple of cups were not washed properly and were dirty. the price of everything was ridiculous for the quality of service and food. definitely not coming back!

We sit down. The waiter comes and pretty much throws the cutlery onto the table then nearly pokes me in the eye with her finger. The buffet was terrible. If we had ordered from the menu it might have been different. I don't recommend this restaurant to anybody.

You can watch your rice rolls and dumplings being grilled, and they an express dim sum station if you're in a hurry.

See all

Management at this bar is awful. We made a reservation months in advance only to be told when we…read morearrived at the bar that our reservation didn't exist. When we talked to one of the guys at the door, he advised us that what happened to us was "just Jordan" who is the manager who "confirmed" our reservation beforehand. Once we got inside - after waiting in line - we found a server and explained what happened with our plans. She said "this happens all the time" - meaning, the manager by the name of Jordan pretends to make reservations only to not actually make them and have people show up to nothing. Thankfully, the server we dealt with allowed us to take an available table (after we were told it was fully booked). Moral of the story is that the servers we dealt with were awesome - one of the doormen were rude and dismissive. The bar manager by the name of Jordan was absolutely atrocious. If you're planning ahead of time - don't trust this bar or management who allegedly try to help you. We won't be back.

I wrote this email to management on January 2, 2026. Since then I have been following up every week…read moretrying to get a hold of someone. Both via phone call and email. They haven't even replied to my messages. They do not care about patrons at all. I have written this review on multiple platforms and have even left a formal complaint with the BBB of Calgary. DO NOT waste your time on this business. They are horribly run. Said email: "I am writing to formally express my disappointment regarding the December 31 event at Lounge 18, which I attended after purchasing three cocktail hour and party tickets. Unfortunately, the experience did not meet the expectations set by the event's promotion or the standards I would expect from your venue. The quality of service throughout the evening was extremely poor. The drinks served were noticeably watered down, and on two separate occasions, drink orders placed at our table were completely forgotten. The server's presence was very infrequent, resulting in wait times of up to 45 minutes to receive a drink. Additionally, the first drink we received at midnight was empty, and the following drink had visible lipstick on the glass, which raised serious concerns about cleanliness and attention to detail. Other advertised features of the event were also lacking. The "photo booth and props" were essentially non-existent, and the dance floor was far too small and poorly arranged for the number of guests in attendance. The music did not reflect the DJ experience that was promised and instead sounded like a generic playlist rather than a professionally curated set. Due to the overall poor execution of the event, we chose to leave early and ended up paying full price to attend another event elsewhere so we could salvage our evening. This was my first experience at Lounge 18, and regrettably, it left a very negative impression. Based on this experience, I am unlikely to return. Given the circumstances, I believe a partial refund would be appropriate, and I hope you will take this feedback seriously. I would appreciate a response regarding how this matter can be resolved. Thank you for your time and attention."
