    Protein? In a vegetable dish?

    Ordered a late dinner from Singapore Sam's through Skip the Dishes tonight. In one dish, Shanghai noodles with vegetables, there was an unexpected protein bonus we didn't intend to order. See pics below! I contacted Skip, and had a chat with their rep "Harman S." He graciously offered a refund on the single dish that was visibly infested. "Affected", I meant to say. I patiently explained that my wife and I were both grossed out to the point of vomiting, hence, we were put off our appetites. The meal was spoiled--perhaps he could understand why I requested a full refund on the dinner. Wouldn't do it! I added that even were we both hungry and motivated to eat the other dishes, we've both lost confidence in Singapore Sam. What other untold but unseen mysteries might there be lurking -- consequences of the same unsanitary conditions that allowed our little friend below to "get in on" our meal? He wouldn't help. Wouldn't budge any more than our little dead friend. Thank you, "Harman" -- for your unsatisfactory assistance. Thank you, Singapore Sam's. We won't be using either of your services again.

    Wonton Soup
    Zach H.

    Ordered Ginger Beer and Wonton Soup for delivery. Food arrived well package and warm! The portion size was huge - definitely designed to be shared dishes. The ginger beef was flavorful and crispy, and the wonton soup was delicious. My only complaint is that it didn't automatically come with steamed rice like you would except with most Asian take-out options. I'd give 4.5/5 if I could, but I'd say my overall experience was worth a full 5.

    Dry sesame chicken
    Bridget B.

    Super poor service. I ordered the Sesame chicken with a side of pork rolls. There was no sauce for the rolls, then they provided sesame chicken by itself.. no rice or anything. I'm from the US where you get rice or veggies or something. Not just some dry chicken with sesame seeds. I can't find any sauce! You guessed right! We won't order again from here. Hopefully, husbands soup is better than my order.

    Meh it was alright. I've had better Chinese food in Calgary but I've also had worse. We ordered the Ginger Beef, Salt and Pepper Prawns, Palace Chicken, Chicken Chow Mein, and Spring Rolls. The Ginger Beef was easily the best of the dishes. Salt and Pepper Prawns come in second. The Palace Chicken was awful and was loaded with gristle. The Chow Mein also wasn't up to par. I'm not too sure if I would order from here again but one thing they have going for them is that they're open extremely late for when the munchies may occur.

    Chinese broccoli and two kinds of mushroom with satay sauce
    Matt B.

    This place was better than expected given some of the other reviews on here. Decent vegetarian selection here, so we decided to order a couple of dishes to share for take-out one night. The gai lan and mushroom dish was very tasty -- the satay sauce was on point. The tofu dish was decent too, though the sauce was on the sweet side, catering to the Western palate no doubt. Not very authentic, but it hit the spot. Bill came to $36 (with two orders of steamed rice) -- not too bad. OK spot in downtown Calgary for Chinese.

    Dancing.
    Richard F.

    Oh damn. Best Chinese food east of the Snake River. Bring your dancing shoes. Be prepared to dance the night away while you wait. Five stars does not do this place justice. Things are encouraged, and will get you to the front of the lin

    For drunken fun after a night out.... 4/5 For actual food enjoyment... 1/5 Okay so apparently even in my drunken stupor I could not get over how bad that food was.... this is possibly THE worst Chinese food I've ever had! Now sure.. I was drunk.... but that is normally accompanied by increased enjoyment of crappy food! The only good thing was that there was actually a decent amount of meat on the chicken wings. I can't say anything else good about the food here. So I'll just stop. Atmosphere on the other hand was awesome and tonnes of fun! A perfect place for dancing on chairs and drumming with your chopsticks.... think 80s and 90s dance music and classics with a party vibe and crappy food. By the way, the dancing and drumming is pretty much expected of you. Despite the bad food, this place was hella fun and quite the experience! You should experience it at least once.... never been anywhere quite like it!

A friend invited me to this restaurant. He explained that they have serious, authentic Szechwan fare, but would choose things that even a lao wai like myself could enjoy. Not gonna lie, there was some _heat_, but the flavours were more than worth it. I was probably the only pale guy in the place, which is often a good sign for a Chinese restaurant. The place was very busy, but the staff was incredibly thoughtful. The service was excellent and the food arrived rapidly. I shouldn't say "food". It was a Feast. Everything was cooked to perfection and simply delicious. My only warning (apart from listen to them when they say, "spicy") is that it is authentic. Some dishes will have the bones in. Some might have elements that you're not supposed to eat. Just like many European dishes don't intend for you to eat the whole cloves or peppercorns. If you don't have a native guide, just let the staff know. Judging from my own experiences, they'll treat you right.

Silver Dragon offers a unique experience having some dishes not carried in the united States. And the prices were cheap. Everything is moving fast too especially with a group the knows what they want. I think it made it confusing to the cart ladies trying to listen to everyone speaking at the same time but they provided correct answers. Everything was well done and presented. We got shrimp and pork shumai, pork buns, baked pork buns, egg custards, short ribs, etc. All in all we picked up about 20 dishes. That came to about $200 Canadian dollars, about $137 American dollars. With prices like that the thought of moving to Canada is real. However, the cold winter snow prevents me entertaining that thought at length.

I'm not sure why. The siu mai was mushy. The har gow was okay. The beef rice noodle roll was tasteless. My wife didn't like it. The tofu skin roll (sin jook goon) was not very good either. We only ordered 4 dishes because what we ordered was not good. We didn't want to order anything else. The worst dimsum place in the San Gabriel Valley is better than this place. Not a fan of this place. They might be better for dinner? Non dimsum? Service was better than the food.

Ok so the food is super cheap.. BUT ALSO, THE FOOD WAS ACTUALLY IMPRESSIVE TOO???? NOT TOO OILY, NOT TOO SALTY, GOOD AMOUNT OF SPICY HEAT, fried food actually crunchy. I really appreciated all of the above. I know the food probably isn't healthy still, but I hate when restaurant food has a puddle of oil. The noodles were a bit stuck together because of the lack of oil. Maybe this is why the squid was so crunchy too? The guy serving us in the front said his mom was cooking in the back. She's like she really cares about her customers and making sure they eat a bit more healthy, and of course, tasty food. Each dish had a good mix of veg and meat. They are NOT stingy on meat or veg. We also got the mapo tofu and it was better than t&t. Again, another thing I liked was how the mapo tofu sauce wasn't loaded with starch. In fact, I don't think there was any (along with any sugar) because the sauce was all watery in texture. Flavour and spice was perfect. Something unique about it was that it had a bunch of green peas. I know some people don't like peas. Lol. Overall, this place is genuinely good which is surprising given the insanely low prices. The staff is really nice and chill. I highly reccomend this place for takeout if you're looking for something low-key at home. Ps. There's no seating inside. This is purely a Chinese takeout joint. They have chairs inside if you're waiting for your food.
