This is the best Chinese we visit. Not the fanciest but the food is top class. The dumplings are magnificent. Service is brilliant.
Really nice owners and staff. The food was among the best Chinese food my family has ever had. Each dish had a different taste (all of them were incredible). It was amazing. Will definitely return next time we are in Calgary!
Patricia Mackay. Visiting from Lancashire, England. Friends took me for lunch at the Dragon Pearl. The dumplings were to die for. The service efficient.
My favorite restaurant. They serve the best sizzling rice. It's hard to find and no one does it better than The Dragon Pearl .
One of the best places in town for dumplings ! Go on the weekend mornings to get dim sum & dumplings.
We just moved to Calgary this past summer and Dragon Pearl is quickly becoming a family favourite!
1983 my Dad took me to the Dragon Pear restaurant. That's were he dipped my chopstick in the chilli oil. I've been hooked ever since . They opened Charlie Chans in Kensington another great establishment. Awesome food. Ya gotta eat there.
Similar to the previous review, I’ve been going here since I arrived in Calgary many years ago. The food is amazing. Always fresh and delicious. The service is friendly and fast. Outside of Chinatown, the Dragon Pearl has the best Peking food in the city.
My last review was read 5235 times. This place is a staple in Inglewood. It is a great old fashioned style cafe. The food is good, always consistent, I have been going for years, have never been disappointed
Nothing short of quality, sincerity, and authentic food. If you're looking for something traditional, quaint, and homey this is the spot for you. Their pan-fried wontons have always been one of my childhood favourites growing up in Calgary. My mom used to work here when she was younger, and she left this place with many great memories and they always welcome her back like family. They are genuine and hard-working people and take great attention and care to their quality and consistency in their food. I hope this place is as well received as it deserves to be.
Calling all ginger beef lovers! I wouldn't say I'm a GB expert but I've tried a lot of GB in my time and this place does it the best in Calgary. Why? The beef is always tender and you get pieces thicker than pencil-width. The sauce has a bit of heat and is not too sweet or sticky. The batter is crispy and not too thick or doughy. Try it hot out of the kitchen and there's a good chance you'll think it's the best too. As for the other stuff on the menu, it's excellent too though the fried rice isn't my favourite (still good though). Service is very friendly and it's usually easy to get a table on weekends. Try it out, folks!
This is the only Chinese food to order in town if you want the best! Have been going here for 13 years, nothing compares. Best things on the menu: ginger beef, dumplings, mu shu pork, hot & sour soup and special fried rice. Have never been disappointed
Service has always been fast and staff have been friendly - they tend to remember your order once you've been in a couple of times. Food is also delicious and the prices are appropriate for their pricing.
Awesome Food!!!. We have been going for years and it's one of the best Chinese food restaurants you will find in Calgary . Awesome dumplings , curried chicken and pan fried wontons etc.... Eat in is better than take-out .
My Fave. I have always loved Dragon Pearl. I will admit that their ginger beef is not the same as it was, which is sad because that is my favorite dish. It is better if you eat it in rather than take out. And I noticed too that they have changed their sauce in the S&S Pork. It is so gross! The pork has a weird taste and texture too, not really sure it is pork >< but I will assume it is. Vegetable delight is the best veggie dish out there.
Dumplings and spring rolls as well are one of the best!
Totally recommend Dragon Pearl, it is so worth the travel.
Mandarin Pork. An old friend took ushere. And what a treat!
Loved thep lace, food and service....will definitely be back!
Best Asian food We have had in Calgary. Finally a place that has gristle less chicken!

Still Good, Find Out for Yourself. Although reading other's reviews can sometimes detour me, I always find it difficult unless I try it out for myself. You can tell by previous reviews that this restaurant takes their reviews seriously, by responding to a few.
I will have to see what's what in a year from now, but my current experiences are as follows:
They're supposed to be known for their ginger beef & dumplings?
The ginger beef, could use a little more spice, it seems too sweet, & more of a chewy consistency. Not too bad. I will try again. Looks picture perfect.
The Vegetarian Spring rolls have no flavor. Just cabbage, no spice. The pork spring rolls, are not much different. Have a really nice crispness to them.
I went to their wor won ton soup, which is fully loaded, & a great tasting soup! It's not loaded in salt.
I tried their szechuan beef. Really good! Fresh. Flavor. Tender. Try it with some white rice.
I tried their pineapple shrimp. Also good. Fresh. Flavor. No veggie over cooked.
I tried take out, both times, person on the other end was polite, picked up order, they were polite. Did not hang up before I did.
We ate in. Good service. Polite. Friendly. Fresh food. Clean.
I say don't try the over westernized foods there, that's what you'll get. Unless you like it.
Seriously! The curried vegetables are amazing here! I never get tired of them. Also had the almond chicken, ginger beef... Would certainly not call them bland! Delightful!
Pretty Good. The food came fast and it wasn't bad at all. Cute little restaurant with great service. Prices were definitely reasonable. In a nice area of town with lot's of little shops around it. The only problem is it can get pretty busy and isn't a big place so I would recommend making reservations on the weekend or else you may have to wait...we just squeaked in without them but during our people it got packed. Going back for sure.
I have been coming to Dragon Pear ever since the late '80s, when we would come all the way from Red Deer for Sunday dinner. Everything I have ever tried has been fantastic, and the 'restaurant makeover' some years back really improved the decor. The staff is fantastic and not only know us by name, they give us anything that we'd like, regardless of whether or not it's on the menu. I recommend this for anyone who is looking for a really flavourful experience. Everyone I've taken has fallen in love with the food, it's contagious ! We LOVE it here ~ ginger beef, salt and pepper squid, chow-mein delight, and the all-important, cold and flu - curing wor won ton soup ~ it's what we ask for ( also good for hangovers)
Decent. The best Chinese in Inglewood. Certainly not the best in Calgary but generally speaking you'll be good if this the only option around.
When it comes to Chinese food, we normally stick to our local favourite, the Peking Garden, but tonight we felt like heading uptown. After checking things out on Urbanspoon we landed on the Dragon Pearl. Very pleased with the experience. The hot and sour soup is among the best we've tasted, as was the salt & pepper seafood. Pineapple S&S chicken was tasty, although the chow mein delight was just so-so. One odd thing: We have two little girls and asked for milk for them, but were told they don't keep milk.
Overall happy with this restaurant, the food and the service, and we'll likely return at some point.
Surprisingly Satisfying. After searching endlessly we FINALLY found it!
I would return here everytime to fullfill my chinese food craving. Best I've had in Calgary so far!
Clean restaurant and very friendly staff.
Very Reasonable prices.
Had a fantastic selection of foods, we tried the pineapple chicken, vegetable noodles, and mongolian beef. It was all amazing! Especially the beef :)
Fantastic Chinese, quick service, great prices!!! Highly recommended!
Ohhh soo good. I find it hard to come by a great Chinese Food place in this city but so far Dragon Pearl takes the cake! Fast friendly service, and piping hot delicious reasonably priced food..unlike Ming Chau, also in Inglewood and waaay overpriced. The dumplings and house fried rice are the booomb!
Good Stuff.. I discovered this place about a year ago, just popped in after an afternoon stroling around old inglewood. I was very impressed with this old little restaurant, & have been back several times & always satisfied. Is serves up mostly just your typical western style chineese food but the food is always great, the staff is always friendly & the place is always busy with people who travel from all over the city to dine in or take out some of the best Chinese food in the city. The prices are very resonable as well. Try it out, its sure to please.
Excellent Chinese Cuisine!!!. My family will frequent the Dragon Pearl Restaurant about once a month and we never have had any problems with this place. Food is consistantly good and the service is friendly.
Some of our favourites are the Dumplings, Hot and Sour Soup, Mandarin Chicken.
Dragon Pearl is the place to go for chinese food!
Excellent family owned restaurant, friendly and fast. Highly recommended.
This is a top grade family owned Chinese restaurant, the service is quick and extremely friendly and the food is nothing less than exceptional if your looking for some good, fresh , quick Chinese food this is the place to go I give it 5/5 stars!!
Always great food! Pan fried dumplings and salt and pepper squid are family favourites. We did the takeout last 2 times.
I’ve been coming here with my family for years and the service and food is so good every time. Sam is the sweetest server and the food is delicious. Best Chinese in Calgary !!
First time ordering from here. The food is full of flavour, came super hot and the portions are huge.
Would definitely order from here again!
Incredible service and the food is an inglewood western inspired Chinese staple. My only complaint is that the sauces are quite sweet.
I went here after years of not going-- I forgot what I had been missing. The food was incredibly prompt and so, so delicious. Everything you would want, sweet and tasty sauces, veggies with the right amount of crunch. The chicken was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. We had a shrimp dish and the the shrimp too was a great texture. The food is cheap too. The place has a cute, hole-in-the-wall atmosphere. This place is definitely one of the hidden pearls of Inglewood.
Delicious Chinese food and fast service. We ordered 5 dishes that was ready for pickup in 20 minutes and every one of them was amazing, especially the satay fried rice and stir fried noodles with curried beef. We paid $70 and had a filling dinner with enough leftovers for tomorrow. Highly recommend this place and we’ll definitely be back again!
