The cart pushers can be kind of aggressive. The food is ok, not the best dimsum ive had but probably top 5 in Calgary.

Excellent authentic Chinese Dimsum and Dinner. For dimsum get the baked BBQ pork buns that comes by. They have a great seafood selection for dinner selection as well.

Great service, food is awesome for dim sum and dinner. Chuck and the servers are always so accommodating. And the location is great - it’s not right downtown.

Had a work function and the food was amazing

I wanted to check out Calgary's Chinese community and see if their Dim Sum was as good as Toronto. I found this place through TripAdvisor and it was as good as the Emerald Chinese Restaurant in Mississauga, Ontario. They push out the carts and the servers speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese. They had the same variety as Emerald. Even the same attitude for the Maître D, meaning if you're a regular, you'll get seated immediately and in a good location. If you're not a regular and are alone like I was, you get the entry table! LOL. I will try and come back for dinner and see if they are equally good as their Dim Sum.

The food was great! The dishes were quite pricey compared to some restaurants in Edmonton. I highly recommend the egg tarts as they are really really good! At first I was like, "oh, egg tarts, how good can they be?" Oh boy was I wrong! There was something different with these egg tarts compared to others.

Not sure what the rave is about this dimsum place. Dimsum was below to average with all its dishes overpriced. Not sure what gives them the benefit of setting a premium on their prices but it was pretty disappointing. I've had better dimsum in ChinaTown with better price points.

Old school cart dim sum. Prices are a bit higher than U&Me, but taste may be comparable. Some dishes certainly less value (eg. sticky rice in lotus leaf), but overall experience quite solid

All the staff (except one) was great.

Good Beijing roast duck. Friendly service and quality food. Would go again. Not quite on par with restaurants in China, but probably as good as they come in North America.

We come here often! Lots of good Cantonese dishes for a great price. This is my dad's favorite restaurant in Calgary!

Decent dim sum. One of the few places that still push the carts around.
Khoi Ngo
Great food. Dim sum served with the carts so you can see what you're ordering. One of the view spots left in Calgary that still does carts for dim sum. However, sometimes the cart doesn't have fresh food and the food may be cold. Overall, one of the best dim sum places in Calgary.

Very delicious dim sum. Helped that my lunch guest spoke Chinese 😀
Rosanne Allen
Really great food. It was hot, fresh and plentiful. I still feel as though I've eaten way to much. Parking is a bit of a nightmare but worth the trip.

Service was great. Quite a unique and delicious dishes. A restaurant to visit when you are in Calgary.

Always a good dim sum experience here.

This is one of the places to go for a family/relative get together. I have been here numerous times from Dim Sum to Dinner and the odd occasion of sadness on the day we wanted to eat here, they are closed for an event (usually weddings). It may be shallow but my favorite dish there is the red bean soup desert served after dinner.

Clean restaurant, good food with lots of variety.
David Chan
So-so food here. Nothing to impress me. But if you are in for some dim sum, this is one of the only two restaurants in the neighborhood that serve dim sum at lunchtime. And the other restaurant was recently shut down by the health department. Wink wink. 😄 So you don't really have much choice as far as dim sum go.

Very pricey, thats all I can say for the dimsum.
MightyFish
My dad's boss had a birthday dinner for all his coworkers and their families. So I don't know how much the price of the meal it was but the food was very good and the waiters were quick and friendly.

Clean and open space for parties Great assorted seafood was my favorite
Stu McConnell
Beautifully decorated restaurant with very friendly staff and top notch Dim Sum.

A good sign this place is good is the fact you see Asians there (I know, mind blown 🤯). I’ve had their dim sum and their Tofu dessert is pretty good and you must try the egg tart as well. I’ve been to dinners, weddings and baby showers and the food there is top notch. I definitely recommend this place.

Always a great choice. Great selection and thanks to the cart to table service, the food is always fast, hot and fresh. Great for all ages.

My go to dimsum place! A family favorite!
Hannah Huang
All time favorite dimsum place. Love their congee!
Jason
Decent dim sum. Reasonably clean and large. Servers are typical chinese
Ronald Lee
I like their morning and lunch specials that cost between 10 and 15 dollars. Their dinner for two specials are even a better deal for about 50 dollars you get four huge entrees plus soup and rice and dessert and tea. There is enough for four people so be prepared to ask for a doggie bag.
Franco Lee
Great place for dim sum! Interesting to see all the famous people that had visited the restaurant in the past. From politicians to actors! Kids were very impressed!
Kevin Hu
Dependable and great quality Chinese food location for either lunch or dinner. The lunch dim sum service still offers the push trolley carts which allows you to see what you're ordering (one of the few remaining places with this service!). The food is consistently good for lunch and dinner. Expect above average dim sum pricing, but the increased quality in food is worth it. Pictures are from the dinner menu
Cheryl Li
A favourite for dim sum in Calgary
Kelly Der
Dim sum not bad. Super busy on the weekends. Go early for a table or for later after lunch.
Jade Ferraby
‪Delicious dim sum here!! It can be a little noisy sometimes because of the large room layout but it’s a great place for large groups!! It’s a go to for my family! Easy parking on the roof, unlike most dim sum places close to downtown!! They have a great, and expansive selection as well!! ‬

Decent Chinese restaurant. I've only ever come for banquets and they're generally okay. Dishes are hit and miss; this last time the E-Fu noodles were overcooked. Generally pretty decent, though. Staff are pretty friendly, but they are efficient - don't expect the same type of chatty service as you'd receive from a Western restaurant.
Christopher YEUNG
Great dim sum compared to other Calgary dim sum locations. Busy after 11:00am, but dim sum carts very consistent in bringing out more food. Don't expect dim sum prices like Toronto or Vancouver though!
Jess Z
Quick service food was good

It's been a while since I've been here. But I visited today with my family, and the experience was great as usual for dim sum.Service was fast, and friendly. Plenty of food to choose from, and the carts came by our frequently.A must try if you haven't been here!
April Hopkins

Good food and fast service for Dim Sum. A little on the pricey side.
Skye Cameron
I love this place, the service is very fast and efficient, everyone is friendly and the dim sum is fresh and very tasty. Always have a lovely time when I come here.
Liz Hughes
I haven't been to many Dim Sum places in Calgary, but this one is my absolute favorite. The food is SO GOOD. Try the Taro Buns, they are to DIE for. Best dim sum I've ever had.
Ethan Tube
Awful experience, the calamari was raw and when we told the waiter she laughed and just walked away. I recommend staying as far away from this restaurant.
Hayes Au
Service so so, food so so, not as good as most people described
