  I have been hearing about this place ( fantastic reviews)  for a few years and finally tried it out. I was in the neighborhood and stopped in for some take out.
  
  The restaurant is a bit dated, but like I said I was in for some take out. It wasnt overly busy, but I am sure its because it was begore the dinner rush. Ordered some soup, spring rolls, mixed veggies, fried rice, lemon chicken and ginger beef. I thought I would play it safe since it was my first time here.
  
  Average prices you would find at any Chinese restaurant, so not expensive. My order came in at just under $50.
  
  Everything was ready in less then 20 minutes and I was on my way home to enjoy some Chinese food with my family.
  
  Everything tasted great. Loved the shrimp fried rice and ginger beef the best.
  
  Will try them again and next time will be dine in.

  Its been my go-to place for take-out chinese food for many years. The quality of the food is consistent and high quality. If you dine-in, the restaurant decor is dated and hard on the eyes but fine for take-out.

  My favourite Chinese restaurant in Calgary!  I've been going here (or getting take out)  for around 15 years. They have lots of variety of meat and vegetables.  The ginger chicken is the best... Oh and the pineapple chicken... Oh and the lemon chicken... And the wonton soup.... Oh and the ginger beef... Uh and the special chowmein... And the shrimp fried rice... Mmm and the spring rolls..  It just goes on and on.
  
  The take out is really fast and tastes great once home. Still piping hot. And they are really helpful over the phone.
  
  Eating in is nice too. The waiters bustle around and take great care of you.
  
  Great for the whole family, my kids love the wonton soup and lemon chicken.
  
  The portion sizes are big too I always get a few meals out of our order.
  
  The price is great for the value of the food.  You'll need to check this place out!

  I ate here for the first time this weekend, as we were honoring a loved one who dined here a lot before she passed. The decor is straight out of the 80's, I've honestly never seen napkins in that color before. We arrived to an empty restaurant, but throughout the evening it got quite busy. The servers still managed to tend to our table and ensure we had everything we needed.
  
  The 6 of us (& two children) decided to order the Dinner for 6, with an additional order of Salt & Pepper Squid. The portions are absolutely HUGE, it could have fed 12 people instead of 6. We started off with Spring Rolls & Wonton Soup, after which they brought out our main entrees. I do wish they would bring it all out at once, rather than staggering it, but it was irrelevant towards the end when we were all too full to eat another bite. I'm not sure how good the food would be for takeout, but we really enjoyed it dining in. The standouts were definitely the Sweet & Sour pork and the Ginger Beef! I would skip the squid next time, as it was a little dry, but otherwise no complaints. Everything was so filling but really tasty.
  
  The servers were very friendly, and the young man taking payment upfront was especially polite. The only thing I didn't like is that they charge for tea. I'll definitely consider this place next time I have a craving for Chinese food. Delicious!

  Some places have been around such a long time and must have customers who tolerate bad food, that they must not care if you come back! We were a party of five for my 91 year old fathers birthday dinner...the salt and pepper seafood was so over cooked and still 'white' that it must have been old product. Nobody at the table could eat it! We complained and were told to order it 'softer' next time and then they refused to replace the dish or take it off the bill !  Save your time and money , go anywhere else!
