The only star here is for the food. The food was great, although a bit on the pricier side ($20/plate and was served on plastic plates surprisingly) The view out the window is nice, and the place is tidy; minus the bathroom. This place is horrible for service though. Justin was our waiter, and was commenting to our table on the laziness of the older man he was working with. Sooo much tension there with the staff. Moping around, small snarky remarks. The staff is miserable and let's their customers know it. read more

In the mood for Chinese food after sushi dinner for the past 3 days. Great location & decent service (reason for 3 stars). We ordered Hong Kong style chow mein & eggplant with pork. Both were just ok, not bad but nothing to write about. Here is where I have a problem with this place, the egg plant fish doesn't come with rice so asking for one will cost you $3. REALLY? 15% gratuity is added to the tab regardless of the size of the party which makes it a lot easier for me anyway. read more

Pricey and not quality food. Take-out quality but nice restaurant price. The sweet and sour chicken balls were good but beef and broccoli was very strange. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Foods are generally expensive at $20 ish a dish with smaller than expected portion. This is in the center of Banff, so the high price could be expected though I would have wanted a bigger portion. A small bowl of rice is $3 which I think is just too much. Foods are okay, no complain and the waiters were attentive though not necessarily the friendly type. Won't be back for 2nd time and I don't think the restaurant would expect you to being in a tourism oriented town. read more

Not worth it, unless you are in the camp of 'Have to' have Chinese food. Expensive and poor service, waiter's face looks like we owe him a lot money not paying back. I guess they don't care about my review on Yelp coz they have loads of buses and tour groups anyway. read more

Fair experience with lunch today in that my party's food arrived fairly quickly. Two of us found lunch fairly good but my friend received a dish she found unpalatable. The waiter responded quickly and she asked for a different dish which had not arrived after 20 minutes. She decided to cancel her re-order and leave. She was brought a check for the food she could not eat and after some back and forth, it was taken care of. It seemed the manager was the blocking point. Will never go there again! read more

This place is expensive. A bowl of rice cost $3. And the food is bad. Never come here again

The price was high.(Around $20.. plain dish) Food was okay=not bad=so so And this restaurant was first chinese one that charged for a bowl of rice in my life.($3) read more

The food was not that great. We ordered a spring roll and it was a fried donut with vegetables in it. I never seen an egg roll like this before. The food was very oily which is expected for Chinese and the dishes were pretty expensive. We ordered won ton soup, fried rice, sweet and sour chicken balls, beef and broccoli, vegetable chow mein, two hot teas, and 3 spring rolls. The hot tea helped me with the heart burn after eating the food. Overall, I would not come here again. read more

Be aware: this is American Chinese food rather than real Chinese food. Definitely over priced due to its location. This place preys on innocent tourists coming in buses. What is most furious is that WE ARE FORCEFULLY CHARGED 15% tips as if we are cheap eaters. For the same price, you should go down two blocks and eat at Maple Leaf. Much better service and food. read more

Do not order the house special fried rice and flat noodle. Rice had no flavor and the noodles were also bland with way too much oil.

I have visited this place on numerous occasions. This time was the worst I was quite surprised at the prices of the dishes which had gone up by 3 to 4 dollars. So each dish she can range anywhere from $20-$30. The portion of food is small for what you pay for. We ordered Szechuan chicken, the chicken tasted very rubbery. It seemed undercooked. The fried ginger chicken was better as it had real chicken. The green beans were dry and cold. The customer service is very poor. Our waiter was quite rude. It seems that they cater more to Chinese tourists than non-Chinese. Strange thing is the food that the Chinese tourists ordered looked better with large portions. Definitely would not go back. Avoid this place!! read more

Terrible service. The restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived but when we called out for the waiter, he blatantly ignored us. He was later rude and practically yelled an answer when I asked about a dish. The food itself is alright. Authentic Chinese food, but not very good- the average Chinese mom makes better food.The eggs were good, but I definitely tasted MSG. Overall bad. read more

Expensive, oily food that is uninspired. On the plus side, lots of parking, and plenty of seating.

Fast and good food from this Chinese restaurant and delivery. All the sauces, plates etc were included. Only thing we found unusual was the very high price of the fried wontons, which were plain with no filling. $12 per order. Not knowing this, our group ordered 2 orders! They batter and deep fry their egg rolls. Spare ribs are available in numerous flavors. read more

Having been to Silver dragon in Calgary, we thought trying out the location in Banff would be a safe bet. The restaurant was nicely decorated and clean. The food was relatively good however the prices were ridiculous. We decided on just a few small items as a snack. Medium bowls of wonton and egg drop soup, half order of dumplings and shui Mai which came to $30. We wanted to try the Szechuan green beans but decided that $18 for green beans was out of the question. I guess since its Banff and one of the only Asian restaurants around, they can get away with it however we won't be indulging there again anytime soon. read more

I am visiting from the Bay Area, this restaurant was clean, the food was delicious, and the bathrooms were clean lol. I would recommend this for asian food if you are craving it. Our waiter Frank was also very friendly and professional, keep up the great work frank! read more

This should be absolutely 5 stars! Very clean and nice decor, and extremely good Chinese food, REAL Chinese flavor!

We stumbled on this place after coming down from the Banff gondola. I had the Singapore noodles, potstickers and fried wontons and everything was absolutely wonderful. Service was great especially hanging out with my new buddy Don read more

Very very good Chinese food in the West. I had low expectations for Chinese restaurants in Alberta but the food is exceptional. However, it's a bit pricey but it's definitely worth it if you're looking for a good meal. Almost all dishes start from $20 and up. Their service is also amazing and the servers are very friendly. The boss himself came by to ask us how the meal is and gave us suggestions as to what to try here. All in all, it was a good food and good experience. read more

Amazing food and service! Ginger beef was insanely good, hands down best I've ever had! Service staff were totally on the ball.

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants!!! The food tasted great, especially Sichuanese food, too delicious!

I don't know why the mark for this restaurant is so low. As a Chinese guy, I do think this restaurant is really good. Delicious food with nice environment. In banff village, a tourism center, this price is not expensive at all. 20 per person on average include tips. read more

Seriously, never come to this restaurant even if you really want some Chinese food. Me and my family were here for dinner and the price is ridiculously expensive and the quantity and quality --- I would say I should had go to eat macdonald read more

Very good Chinese food, good service...nice atmosphere! Would highly recommend this restaurant...

We should have known better when we walked in and there were (only!) Asian Tour Groups seated and talking very loudly. We should have exited...we didn't. We ordered an incredibly insipid Hot and Sour Soup - thin, tasteless, cheaply made, not filled with goodies like it is supposed to be - and the strangest egg rolls that I have ever seen - they were battered and deep-fried - really! - they looked like deep-fried twinkies! - and did not taste good at all - JP left half of his uneaten. We segued to their Palace Chicken - battered and deep-fried with a spicy hot and sour sauce - it too was not good - it tasted too stringent - one puckered! - there is no finesse in that kitchen. None. And the chef is surely a smoker because he cannot taste how bad his food really is. The Palace Chicken was too tart in that way that cheap Chinese Food places are in the States - they are making Chinese food that fulfills the barest minimum - no one is making much of an effort in Banff. We also had their "fancy" fried-rice - that was not fried at all. It was simply steamed rice with a little pork, chicken, veggies and several shrimps thrown in...I would have thrown it out. It too had no flavor. I honestly do not know how they are doing it! The waiter was far too brisk and officious - lol! - and offered to take away our chop sticks - I guess he felt we were too Western and would never use them - lol! - Idiot! - we are from Los Angeles - we know how to use chop sticks! And at another point he walked over and took away, without a word, the red-capped soy sauce - which we had been using - and replaced it with the green-capped lower sodium version. LOL! No explanation was given! He really was a numb-skull. We have never had a good Chinese meal when we could see a mountain in the near distance. My bad for not remembering! These mountain-near Chinese restaurants should be avoided - especially Silver Dragon Restaurant! You have been warned! read more

Silver Dragon - The WORST EGG ROLL EVER! It is BATTERED and DEEP-FRIED like a Twinkie at a State Fair! GAG-WORTHY and GROSS! Do not attempt to eat this! - Chinese Near Me - Banff, Alberta

This place is so delicious! The Ginger beef was very good. The service quality was better compared to other chinese restraunts. However, there are so many tour groups that come to this restraunts. So, the restraunt was very busy and very loud. Next time I come to Banff, I will definetly come here again. Very good restraunt! read more

I went to this restaurant recently and found it extremely unsatisfying. I would give it no stars but unfortunately, it's not an option. We ordered the seafood noodle soup. It was $9.25 per bowl, per person. When we received the food, it contained the following: two tablespoons of noodles, one scallop, one shrimp, one piece of squid, and a few veggies. We were shocked at the minimal quantity of the food. It was less food than one serving of instant ramen! A price of $9.25 was too expensive for this noodle bowl. Furthermore, other reviews of the busy restaurant and unhappy waiters are indeed true. The waiter who served us was brisk and unfriendly. We did not feel welcomed and we will not come to this restaurant ever again. DO NOT come to this restaurant unless you absolutely have to! read more

Our food was delicious an plentiful, a pretty good range on offer also. I'm fussy when it comes to Asian food but this was good, fresh and tasty. Good price too. read more

Absolutely the best. Delicious food and very friendly service. A bit pricy but consider it is located in busy tourist area, it is understandable. Now we are from Toronto and we eat at Chinese restaurants all the time. When we all think this restaurant is great, trust me, it is great. We arrived at a time when there were two bus load of tourists, so the service was a bit slow. But the food was so delicious we think it was worth the wait. The stir fried pork and pancake (Mu Hsu pork) was definitely the best I ever had. The pancake was very thin but didn't break easily as some restaurants would make. I wish I could order it again. Must go. Must. But if possible avoid time when there are tour bus in the lot. read more

It s expensive consider the small potion and below average taste. Not worth going even if you are craving chinese food.

If you are looking for authentic Chinese cuisine, this is not the place. The cost was exorbitant for poorly executed and uninspiring cookery. The building is nice; but that is no excuse for the food. The kung pao chicken 宫保鸡丁 tasted more like orange chicken with a thickened sweet sauce. Other dishes were similarly disappointing. When the waiter was questioned, he admitted that the dishes were cooked for what they thought was the western palate, even though the dishes had traditional Chinese names. read more

Overall food was good, portion was decent, but pricing was a little crazy, I get it Banff is all about tourists, but a dinner for 2 is 48$? And a Cesar the size as a ikea tumbler was 7$? Ya if I go again, will def hit up somewhere else! read more

First, the waiter named Wilson tried to rush us to place the order so here the beginning experience wasn't impressive and now when it comes to enjoy the meal which took longer than we expected but it was OK due to the occupancy but now we discover that it's just below average Chinese meal costing over 20 bucks for a person. Now extreme disappointment arrives when we asked for check and waiter(same guy Wilson) added 18% tip on check without our consent, made me real upset (it was just party of two, my wife and I) and upon asking him he said that he doesn't have any other option on credit card machine. I declined to pay 18% tip for crappy service so he brought credit card machine to me and stood right in front of me to make sure I do give him decent amount of tip so upon noticing him staring at me while entering amount of tip, I decided to give him 1% tip upon which he asked me how come I was giving him that low amount. We complained to the restaurant owner while exiting the place but it was in vain as well. VERY DISAPPOINTED . I WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST TO AVOID THIS PLACE EVEN YOU ARE CRAVING FOR CHINESE FOOD. read more

Enjoyed the food, veggie friendly and was tasty . My husband had the seschwan chicken tardy. Their hot and sour soup was the best I've had so far read more

Best Chinese restaurant in Canada so far. It is authentic Cantonese with a blend of others. I'm Cantonese and I loved my meal. Highly recommended. read more

Solid food (good ginger fried beef and schezuan chicken) with very responsive service. Got us a table for 8 on very short notice

This was probably the worst meal we have ever had. I ate here about two years ago and swore I would not come back because the meal was so bad. Well I went again thinking perhaps I caught them on a bad day or ordered the wrong thing. However, tonight's meal was worse than the first meal two years ago. read more

I am sitting here right now and surrounded by almost 50 Japanese tourists. My second dish took me 40 mins to come and when we complained, the waiters just told us it is normal in regular dinning hours and be patient! So , don't come! Go somewhere else! read more

The service was terrible. The waiter brought the wrong food, not what we ordered. We asked him to take it back and bring what we ordered. He argued with us, then finally told us we had to eat what he brought. The food was tasteless, not good. read more
