The staff and owners were really friendly, and the food was amazing. We came in late, and they were cleaning the store already, but they still entertained us. Would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Food: The best and I refuse to eat any other Chinese food in Alberta (unless it’s Bamboo Palace in BC ) Service: Food is always coming out hot and survives a 30 minute trip home if I do takeout. Usually easy to get my order taken, but it’s self-serve when you do the buffet Atmosphere: The place is quite run down and could definitely use a refresh on the inside and outside, but it gives a bit of character. It gets overwhelming when it’s busy with the lack of dividers or any form of sound proofing so you may want to avoid in-house dining if you’re sensitive. The washroom is hidden in the back down a set of narrow stairs so if you have mobility issues, it’s probably best to avoid using it or do take-out instead

Was very busy when I went but the owners were so kind and apologetic. They let us take out from the buffet and the food was great. A bit cold but still very good. A great bang for your buck!

Not much from the outside but really happy we stopped. We had the buffet, it was amazing. Lots of choices like ginger beef, salt n pepper chicken, mango pudding. Clean atmosphere & bathrooms. Very friendly staff & lots of them so you never need anything, no waiting. We will definitely be making this our new annual stop.

What a wonderful little restaurant! The food was superb, we started with an egg roll, then had shrimp chop suey, chicken in black bean sauce and the hot & sour soup, everything was exceptional. On top of that the service couldn’t have been better, highly recommended!!

Came in for lunch after being told by many people that it’s the best place to go and was not disappointed. We had some of the best service I have ever had from a restaurant with some amazing food. Prices are super cheap for the current day and do not reflect the massive portions that you receive. I wound recommend this place for anyone coming through or needing a place for a great meal. Will be making the stop every time I am in town.

Best chinese food l have had in Alberta. The food is not greasy, vegetables are fresh and cooked perfectly, the portions are huge. The chicken balls are lightly battered with huge chucks of chicken.
