So friendly staff, and the place came highly recommended from friends.... but our experience was really not good.... food was really really poor,... poor quality meat (more grizzle than meat), the egg rolls were not cooked and doughy... really not edible., the other dishes tasted off and this was the worst ginger beef I have ever been serviced. Overall a very unpleasant meal and a I was embarressed to serve this to guests. Was not what we had in mind for a fun new years eve party. https://ephisahs.albertahealthservices.ca/facilitydetails/?id=78972949-ebf3-e811-a97e-000d3af49373 read more

Salt and Pepper Fried Squid ($16.95); Cantonese Chow Mein ($13.95); Ginger Fried Shredded Beef ($15.25); Buddha Delight ($13.95); House Special Fried Rice ($10.25). Pro tip: Toi Shan offers FREE local delivery AND FREE food for orders over $35. We met the requirement and received complimentary Grilled Pork Dumplings ($12.50). Pick up your food and get 10% off your bill. Our food was delivered within 25 minutes, and everything arrived hot and fresh. Ginger beef was soft and not tough or gristly like at some restaurants. I liked that the batter was still crisp despite swimming in a light, sweet sauce. Salt and pepper squid was tender and still crispy. The house fried rice was full of flavour, and filled with tasty bits of eggs, peas, chicken, pork and shrimp. The Cantonese chow mein was awesome. The noodles were extra crunchy. It looked like the entire block of chow mein was deep fried, then covered in a Chinese style "gravy". I thought it worked - the noodles retained its crunch throughout and the gravy was so saucy. read more

Celebrating a friend's birthday. I haven't been here for over 12 years. I remember it being very good. We started with a Corona Beer ( my guest wanted Tsing Tao but the manager said they have not been able to get it for 2 months; supply chain issues) and a glass of Oyster Bay white wine. We ordered Buddha Delight, Mah Po tofu, curry chicken rice, chicken and shrimp special. It was delicious. Portions very generous. Staff were very friendly met the hostess/server, owner and chef. Turns out the chef has been there for 28 years so he would have probably been the one who cooked the meal for us 12 years ago. The menu is very large. The restaurant although small was very busy with dine in, takeout and delivery. The restaurant was very clean and screened for Covid vaccinations and identification. Felt very comfortable and welcome here; I would recommend this to anyone who likes Chinese Canadian food. Unfortunately, did not have any desserts at this time. read more

See all

If you are looking for she-she-foo-foo Chinese, this is not your place. But if you are craving classic dishes like Palace chicken, ginger beef, tofu and veggies, Singapore noodles, dry ribs, etc., look no further. If you don't want to order ala-carte, their Combination dinner (rice and choice of two items) feeds me for 2 nights and I am stuffed both times. It's a family run operation that's been around for 25 years. read more

I love this place. Good food and very good people working here. No need to goto Chinatown to get good Chinese food! Highly recommend Ginger squid, mapo tofu, Peking duck, dumplings. But all other food is great too read more

I have visited this restaurant in the past and found that the food to be alright. The reason for my review today, is that a close family friend who has been a regular at this establishment for more than 10 years, has recently had a very embarrassing and insulting experience at the hands of the owners/managers of Toi Shan. These lovely elderly ladies were enjoying their meal and waiting for a friend to arrive to join them for lunch, but were rudely asked to move to another table because they were taking too long to eat. They explained to the owner/manager that one of the ladies has a medical condition and cannot eat quickly. They were told that "it is not my problem, I have to pay my rent." I understand that its good business to try to make money, but when you do that at the expense of your REGULAR customers (who have supported your business for YEARS) because they take a bit longer to finish their meal. And you do so by embarrassing and demeaning them in front of the rest of the restaurant. I find that pathetic and demeaning. Who do you think you are to treat someone like that? Especially one of our seniors. I like to fully support small and local businesses but after hearing this absolute lack of respect that she has experienced, I will no longer bring them my business, and will encourage anyone and everyone I know to boycott them as well. read more

Just not exactly sure about how to grade this place. The sweet and sour pork was better than i expected from this suburban chinese resto, and it's your typical hole-in-the-wall. didn't like the presentation, esp. when they brought out the soup bowl, just slushing around everywhere by the time it reached the table, and dripping on the sides. yup...not a repeat! free parking. read more

Been quite a regular here for last several years and it's the best Chinese food in the SW Westbrook/Signal Hill area. Their ginger squid is one of the best in the city. Chow mein can be a bit better though...seems that there are a lot of sprouts vs. Noodles. Overall, definitely recommend this place read more

This was our first time ordering take out from Toi Shan in probably a year. When we lived near by, we ate here every month or so. I am pleased to note that the quality of the food and serving size is as good as I remember. Having ordered nine different dishes this evening, all six of our guests enjoyed every single dish. Although, not the best Chinese food I have had it certainly is very good, always consistent and reasonably priced. We will be back! read more

Well wasted 80$ the food was dry overcooked and they must be changed as it used to be good but tonight was extremely horrible and I'm hoping they can fix it until they do there is no way in he'll ill ever order from there again. Absolutely abismal quality. Like I said a waste of money. read more

Prototypical Canadian Chinese restaurant, albeit with incongruent, large format urban view photos from IKEA on the walls. Maybe a dozen tables for dine-in, but they seem to do a brisk take out business. Generous portions served piled high onto small, thick white oval dishes which test your manual dexterity to not lose the contents in a food avalanche. Had the Mandarin combination hot plate, and the Szechuan noodles. The hot plate was pretty good, with large pieces of juicy chicken, BBQ pork and shrimp, and a somewhat spicy, well seasoned sauce. The rice bucket was more than adequate for two of us. The Szechuan noodles on the hand were not spicy at all, as one might expect...they were really just Shanghai noodles by another name. The food came out fast, and the tea was late but remarkably good. read more

Possibly Calgary's best kept Chinese food secret, have eaten here and had the takeout numerous times and it is always excellent food. Great service in the restaurant too. Get there early on weekends as it fills up quickly. read more

Fantastic Chinese food. It's a typical small Chinese place, fairly generic decor, but don't be fooled; the food is great and the price is good. Service is quick and courteous. The fried rice with shrimp is very tasty and the sweet and sour pork has some tang. Highly impressed. read more

We have ordered from or eaten at Toi Shan for the past 20 years. Up until the last year the food was very good. If you ask they won't say if it has changed owner and/or chefs. Well we don't recognize any of the staff and now the food is terrible. We tried one more time this past Friday and the spring rolls and dumplings were inedible as they were dripping with grease. The quality has gone completely down hill and we won't be back read more

My girlfriend and I decided to have Chinese food for valentines day dinner. The service was awesome, and the food was finished quickly. I've never had better Chinese food in my life! Amazing! read more

The prices were different than listed on the menu online when I went to pick up my food. I ordered pretty straight forward good because it is just me. Dumplings, beef and broccoli and rice. I specifically asked on the phone if they have red vinegar for the dumplings and asked for extra in the bag. They put in white vinegar...first disappointment. Secondly I ate the good. There was ZERO taste. It is the blandest food I've ever eaten I just went and ate the leftover Indian food in my fridge instead. $30 for 3 bland dishes....I will definitely take a pass on this place in the future. read more

Had NYE's take out here. The food was the best Chinese food I have had since being in Calgary. It was incredibly busy. While waiting for our takeout, we got to see many dishes being delivered to the restaurant patrons. They all looked and smelled amazing. The only reason I do not give this a 5 is that the inside of the restaurant is nothing spectacular. If you're only interested in it for the food and not the ambiance this is well worth the trip there. Despite being incredibly busy, the staff were tremendous. Food came out quickly and the staff all maintained a very friendly demeanor read more

Very welcoming for my first time, also you can tell by smell, feel excellent care in cleanliness daily was happy money well spent.

It took us a long time to find a great Chinese food restaurant in Calgary. Thankfully, we found Toi Shan and this is always our go-to for Chinese food. We have been going there for years and we always look forward to returning. The food is delicious and the prices are fair. We just can't get enough of the Salt and Pepper Squid, the Egg Foo Yung, the Sweet and Sour Pork Tenderloin, just to name a few. YUM! Already looking forward to our next visit. read more
