    Dining room

    We arrived in Calgary after a few days in Canmore this morning. After checking into our hotel downtown, we explored Stephen Avenue Walk. Not being impressed with the restaurant choices there, we decided to have dim sum in Chinatown just steps from our hotel. A quick Google search led us to Silver Dragon. We were lucky to be able to scoot by the Sunday morning line at the restaurant because a table for 2 was more readily available. We felt being transported back in time as soon as we sat down when we saw dim sum carts being pushed around. I don't think I can remember the last time I saw dim sum carts. Personally I'm not a fan of dim sum carts because you'd never know if the dishes you want are e er going to be served. I'd like to order what I'd like to have. The dishes we had were very respectable though: siu mai, octopus in curry sauce, rice rolls with prawns and rice rolls with Cantonese doughnuts. The only surprise was the bolo (pineapple) buns. Bolo buns are usually plain (from bakeries) or stuffed with BBQ pork (when served as a dim sum dish). The ones we had today had pineapple chunks in them and they were not very good. The crust was very good though. Bolo (pineapple) buns do not have pineapple chunks so please lose them. Service was also excellent. We didn't see any rice rolls with Cantonese doughnuts being pushed around so we placed an order and our waiter was very eager to help.

    We had a dim sum feast at Silver Dragon Restaurant in Calgary China Town and I highly recommend this restaurant to all looking for excellent and authentic Chinese Food and in our case Dim Sum! We came with a party of 6 and ordered a variety of dim sum and let me tell you Silver Dragon did not disappoint. We ordered several dim sum from their picture menu which was nice for us dim sum noobs and also got a recommendation from our wonderful waitress Janet. My son and I ordered hot tea which was excellent as well and I recommend to compliment your Chinese dinner. Ambiance is great as well and feels very Chinese, spacious and clean. Located right next to Bow River makes it great as you can go for a walk after a delicious feast here. 5 stars easily and two thumbs up for Silver Dragon Restaurant! Thank you. Xie xie.

    Various dim sum

    Very traditional, old school dum sum. Still served in carts. Service was good but while I enjoyed the experience, food wasn't memorable. A lot of the dishes were just warm and I did not find any that stood out.

    Went for dimsum today. Really good! Had sticky rice, bbq pork buns, dumplings (pork as well as shrimp), ginger beef. The sticky rice was really good, some of the best I've had. The bbq pork buns had good flavor but the ration of meat to bread was a bit low. Hagao was very good too.

    Did a pickup, Togo Quick service. Professional and friendly. Would have been lovely to sit down. Food was tasty and fresh. Heard the dim sum is the thing to get here. Love the style. And always a good sign when the lights are neon.

    Silver Dragon Restaurant is one of the better dim sum places I've ever had. It's located in Chinatown in Calgary. Dim sum is served in traditional carts and roam around. They have quite a variety of dim sum and the quality is great which is what I love most about this place! The service here is quick, a simple 'I want one of these', stamp your card, eat, pay, and off you go. We were in and out within 30 mins, talks about fast! The place is filled with locals and visitors alike, the atmosphere was lovely and clean. I definitely recommend it!

    Lychee delight (rum cocktail)
    Naomi J.

    Dim Sum place with a very long menu. Everything was fine, but nothing was particularly impressive - except for the chicken noodle soup, which was a solid 4 star dish, maybe 5 stars. We got a pot of tea, two beers, and the lychee delight cocktail (vibrant pink slushee but I could not taste any rum). Pros: We spent $180CAD with tip for five adults - at $25USD per person that is a better price than we expected. This restaurant opened in 1966 and has a long list of awards on their front door.

    Can't remember the name

    Omg! The food was amazing !! Service was good! It was quite. Absolutely amazing food. I would go back again if i go Calgary !! Shrimp was so tender yet nice texture, flavour was great and price was good !! Highly recommend !!

    Steamed sweet custard buns
    Thaila N.

    The food was so incredibly delicious!!! We ordered the chicken corn soup, which was okay. I've definitely had better, but it did satisfy the craving for the soup portion of our meal. It was slightly viscous, with an ample amount of chicken. It was almost too much chicken for me, but that is just a note for those who love their protein. ORDER THE LEMON CHICKEN! It was perfectly crusted and crunchy, and did not get soggy with the lemon sauce. The chicken was so succulent and tender. I seriously cannot recommend this entree enough. The plain egg fried rice was yummy. The fried wonton was crispy and not too oily. It doesn't specify on the menu, but it has a shrimp filling. The steamed sweet custard bun was also a hit. The filling was creamy and not overly sweet, and the bun was soft and fluffy. The lack of one star comes solely from the service. They really need to hire more staff, our waitress was serving pretty much all the tables on one side of the restaurant! This is simply too much work for one person as she was running around everywhere, and because of this the service we received was subpar. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in Chinatown. They open until pretty late compared to other shops/restaurants in the area, so this is a good option for a later meal (before 10PM).

    Cashew chicken in sweet brown sauce
    Aja P.

    I've been searching for the cashew chicken of my youth in San Diego, and while this isn't it either, it was a damn fine chicken. It was almost crispy crusted in places with the sugary sauce and it was delicious! In texas they put zucchini in all their Chinese - so seeing green peppers and peas was a change, but a welcome one - the whole meal flowed together, and while I DID pick out most of the pieces of chicken since I'm on vacation, I took the rest home too, just in case. This is not a chicken heavy dish, but as I was alone it worked out just fine. If you're sharing with a hungry boy, you'll likely need another dish to round it out.

    This is a great Chinese Restaurant. Very Authentic with a ton of character. The service is top-rated. Friendly, helpful and totally professional. The giant dining area feels very similar to my many fond moments in Asia. I recommend this place for anyone visiting Calgary. Lastly, the prices are very reasonable!

    dim sum all day

    See all

    You can't find many dim sum restaurants still have the dim sum cart carry the dim sum in front of you to choose for, food tastes good.

    I haven't been buying fresh fish at North Sea fish store in Northwest for about 78 years and the…read morewoman is who owns it is wonderful polite and helpful non-pushy and guide you really well she's very honest to say which is frozen fish and which is knots and that is something that you could fool somebody easily she's extremely transparent and very nice. Now I'll drive from the south east into the north west about 40 minutes just to get fresh fish I'm going there for so long I know how great the fish is and how fresh again how honest she is which is so important when you're buying food let alone fish!! I love everything that is great about this little fish store is it's tiny and all they sell is fish. I get about 15 to 20 pieces of fish she puts it in a plastic that is sealed and I can keep it three months in the freezer I could go on but I won't, it's late I'm tired and I have to go to sleep however.... just know everything is fantastic about this place!!

    From the owner: North Sea Fish Market has a wide range of fresh and frozen fish and seafood , caviar, live lobster…read more Not just a fish market though. We also carry Free Range Chicken, AAA Black Angus rib-eye and tenderloin steak, pate and a line of Valbella products bacon, sausage, etc. We also carry speciality items such as Alligator meat, Frog Legs.
