    Wow! Was really impressed. Food was hot, fresh and came to the table very quickly. This was a great discovery.

    Good food. Family run so service can be a little hit and miss. They did give it their best though.

    Best Chinese food hands down I've ever had. Never a bad meal here. Jenny is so kind and remembers all our names when we come in.

    This is my favourite Chinese restaurant in town. Food is always great and the fact they don't use msg is a huge bonus for my family.

    Very nice people with a nice small home like dinning room. Plus you get a nice amount of food for your money.

    Excellent Chinese. Probably the best Ginger Beef I've had anywhere. Dinner for one is more than enough for two! Our new go to for takeout.

    A Hidden Treasure! Tucked away with low-key signage, and only a tiny bit in English. I would have…read moremissed it entirely, and than would have been a great shame indeed. 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.

    Yesterday I was quite happy so I decided to order dishes from this restaurant using uber eat. Then…read moreI was disappointed. The portions were small and did not taste very well. I have never been to this restaurant. So the good news is I don't need to go to this restaurant any more. Compared to other restaurants like Chili house, T pot, this restaurant is just "let's forget about it".

    We were having a late start for work and wanted to eat good before getting started. Dim Sum comes…read moreto mind often. 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.

    Yelpers need to step it up in Calgary. Only 171 reviews when Google has almost 2,400 reviews?…read more Silver Dragon was the most reviewed and highest rated dim sum restaurants in Calgary. 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.
