Took the whole fam jam, including Gramma, out to Wok House last night in St. Albert. We've been…read moreeagerly awaiting the opening this past week because their banner outside read: Chinese, Dim Sum, Bubble Tea! Yep, that's right - St. Albert now has Dim Sum and Bubble Tea!!! The location is in the old Banana Leaf Restaurant next door to Simply Donair in the same strip mall as Dairy Queen. We were greeted by a friendly family who let us choose anywhere in the restaurant to sit - kiddos opted for the booth/bench option. The decor was modern and clean. The menu variety REALLY surprised me and all Dim Sum is cooked to order rather than coming around on carts. We decided we might as well go hard and try stuff from all parts of the menu. First off, we ordered bubble teas: Fresh fruit mango dairy free with sago, fresh fruit peach dairy free with sago, and milky matcha green tea with sago. ALL WERE EXCELLENT. The waitress waited to see if I liked he matcha because she warned that it's not very sweet and said she could make it sweeter if I preferred but I'm a matcha monster and this was exactly what I was looking for :-) Next up, they brought out a couple of small appetizers for us to share in celebration of their opening - spring roll, tempura shrimp, and a dry garlic rib: all were excellent with my 7 year old requesting more of each! We decided to share the dinner for 2 which came with spring rolls, chicken fried rice, 2 bowls of soup (won ton and hot & sour were both decent) and 2 entree choices: we selected Honey Pepper Shrimp (DIVINE) and sliced Szechuan beef. Both of the mains were good and flavourful with a good amount of sauce. Everyone in our group noted that the use of onions was pretty heavy and more peppers, corn, carrots, etc. would be nice. I'd say the dishes were at about 1/3 white onions - usually this is a deal breaker for me but the sauces and meat quality were superb. Next up was our never ending sampling of Dim Sum: Pork Buns - $4.99 good but smaller than most; my daughter didn't care for them here and neither did Gramma (not sure why). Sticky Rice (Excellent but it only comes with 2 small leaves for $4.99 - this could be vastly improved by adding a 3rd one for that price or putting more rice in each banana leaf. Literally, the banana leaves had less than 1/2 of the amount of rice you would have at Jumbo). Beef skewers - not as pictured and not up to snuff in my opinion for $4.99 for 2. Green Onion Cake - $4.99 a standard that my kids will insist on every visit though I prefer mine to be a little crunchier. Pan fried meat dumplings - $4.99 standard but they don't bring red wine vinegar or whatever that sauce is most Dim Sum places serve with it. Curried Squid - $4.99 Excellent and tender but I would LOVE the sauce to be a bit thicker and more plentiful to pour all over my rice :-) We'd order 80% of the food again and to be able to have Dim Sum in St. Albert any day of the week at any time, we will most DEFINITELY be returning here. Even if Mom and Dad want regular Chinese food, the kids in our house will jump for joy at Sticky Rice, Green Onion Cakes, and Bubble Tea! Service was friendly but slow tonight with our dishes coming as much as 60 minutes apart - YIKES! But I won't fault them on this as they work out their bugs, hopefully in the future we will get things (like rice) before the rest of the meal. Cheers Wok House, can't wait to come back! P.S. They deliver, too!

Flies in the cool/cold food area buffet :-( Some items were okay and others were the worst I have had :-( specifically the wontons tastes like dish water broth. The beef in the beef and broccoli had a texture unlike anything I've had before although the broccoli was juicy and crisp! I also would not recommend the hot and sour soup which had so much gelatin in it and was hard to scoop. The spicy chicken was okay and both the rice and noodles were a hit with my kiddos. The stir fried veggies and fried mushroom were pretty good. The pork skewers were probably my favorite. The spring rolls were disappointing filled with mostly noodles. Our plates were slow to be cleared and my water wasn't refilled. I wish I could say it looked like an off night and we would try again but given the dirty walls behind the buffet and filthy window blinds, I'm afraid we just won't be giving this one a try again.

They also have great spring rolls and green onion cakes. They rotate their menu throughout the week too so you don't get the same thing every day. They even do great breakfast sandwiches in the morning (totally westernized versions). They are located in the food court of the Telus plaza off Jasper Ave. My mouth is watering

The Beijing House Buufet, located on Edmonton's St. Albert Trail, is a favourite amongst locals…read more Beijing House is primarily a buffet, but you also have the opportunity to order single items from the menu, but meal deals are also available for two, three, four, six and eight people. These are are a great option if you don't want to take from the buffet. But I would like to add that the buffet is very complete, always fresh and full. The meal we took is the deal for two, which included two spring rolls, two wonton soups and chicken fried rice, plus two other entrees (in this case, we ordered lemon chicken, and the beef and broccoli). Food that is served at Beijing House is very complete: soups and appetizers, chicken, beef, seafood, pork, vegetable and chop suey, rice, noodles, chow mein, and egg foo yong. The restaurant has very nice decoration, which is typically Asian. The place is great for lunch and dinner, and whether you are by yourself, small group or having a party gathering. Finally, Beijing House is a great place to dine, where good food is served and quick professional service.

St Albert Centre has recently undergone renovations adding a wing/hallway and modernizing…read more The new look from the outside is much more esthetically pleasing - Winners in particular is quite attractive from the outside now. My tween daughter lives that Ardene's is now giant and in the old Winners location. Best addition was the rethinking of the Primary Care Network here which makes these invaluable mental and physical health resources much more accessible to the public. The food court continues to be utterly disappointing - ever since Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory left, there's not much for me to get excited over. There's quite a few empty or still under renovation spots in the mall as well. I think fellow Yelper, Joy K. accurately portrayed the Black Friday event in her review so I won't go into as much detail but I will say that it was a huge disappointment and they changed the program or the event specifics AFTER tickets had already been sold. There were no special deals for the attendees only and people waited in line more than 30 minutes to get into the roped off area for a glass of sparkling fruit juice, chocolate, charcuterie board, and to fill out the ballots for giveaways. Nothing was as originally advertised and left a really bad taste in my mouth for both the misrepresentation (almost bait & switch) and then the extremely poor customer service. Overall, there's been some positive design updates to St. Albert Centre but there's a lot of room left for improvement. 2 stars on Yelp is described as "Meh, I've experienced better" on their ratings guidelines and that would most definitely be the case here.
