    Cherry Inn has been our "go-to" Chinese take out joint for as far back as I can remember. It's a family run business, and owner Yen always has a warm smile and handshake at the ready for customers. The restaurant is small and usually crowded, particularly on weekends. Just entering can be a challenge at peak times with people waiting to be seated and others retrieving their take out orders. In spite of the chaos one meets at the entrance, the staff is quick to seat you. Tables are very closely nestled together so if it's intimate dinner conversation you want, this isn't the place for you. Service is quick and efficient. Dishes arrive hot and in quick succession. The food is generally very good, both eat in and take out, but sometimes suffers from a lack of consistency. For example, I've had excellent Ginger Beef there, but I've also had it where it's been tough and chewy. Overall though, I've been hard-pressed to find Chinese food that I like better, particularly close to home.

    While the food is great here - they recently cut the size of of the main dishes by cleverly changing the packaging - you now get a little less then you use to get - keep this in mind. Still great quality though!

    The food is consistent, reliable, tasty. Excellent value, our go-to place for Chinese food delivery.

    The food quality and taste has really gone downhill. Very bland. Will not re-order from here again.

    Chicken ball tastes like flour and spring roll taste like flour and been sprout. Safeway makes better spring rolls than that

    This restaurant in Calgary's Chinatown was highly recommended by a family member, and they were…read moreabsolutely right. We had been eating overly heavy dinners over the past few days, so we decided to be relatively gentle with our order this time. Here is a breakdown of what we tried: Xiao Long Bao (小籠包 - Soup Dumplings): This is my daughter's favorite, so we ordered two baskets for her. They were executed beautifully. They were well-steamed on a clean sheet, and thankfully, there was no grayish blood seeping out of the meat. The wrapper (麵 皮) was right on the spot--not too hard or soft, not too thick or thin, and it didn't have that rubbery "chewing gum" or mushy "play dough" texture you get at lesser places. The pork filling tasted clean with no funky pork smell. Very nice. Beef and Tendon Noodle Soup: This was just okay, but to be fair, I don't expect a flawless bowl of beef noodle soup from a restaurant that doesn't strictly specialize in it (especially at a Dim Sum-focused spot). The broth was a bit plain and served lukewarm. The tendon, however, was well-cooked and well-marinated with a pleasant taste; it was a bit on the firmer side, which didn't bother me. The noodles were on the softer, sparser side rather than dense and chewy. I personally prefer a firmer noodle, but again, I can't complain too much given the venue. Spicy Tofu and Preserved Egg (麻辣皮蛋豆腐): I really liked this dish. The tofu had a fantastic, fresh soy taste, the preserved egg was delicious, and the chili oil and soy sauce dressing was perfectly balanced. If you are wondering what these "black eggs" are and feel a bit hesitant or concerned about trying them, I highly recommend giving them a shot here. This dish will easily fix those concerns! Overall, it was a great meal. I will definitely return, and next time we have the appetite, I'll dive deeper into the dishes they truly specialize in.

    Stopped by for lunch. Squid and pepper was good. Squid was tender and white rice was also good…read more Seems like a local chinese spot and a good place to grab food.

They have some basic dimsum, suimai, hargow, lomaigai, lobatgoh, some fried stuff, in addition to a small menu to order other dishes. I didnt rly see much baked baos, like baked chasui bao or bolobao, also didnt see much steamed baos. We asked for the runny egg yolk bao bc thats my fav, took a while to come out and wasnt that runny. We ordered some soup noodle dish but they messed up and gave it to us dry so they gave us a bowl or broth. Overall everything was mid, nothing was super yummy, idr anything was bad tho. Pricing is a bit pricier. Service is decent, they speak chinese and english and theyre pretty friendly. Forgot to take pics of food lol

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.
