My husband and I eat at Ginger Beef about once every two months... Sometimes more frequently if we're feeling fancy!
We love this restaurant because #1 the food is always hot & ready really quickly without compromising on quality or flavour. The dishes are always as described and we have yet to have a bad experience at this location or at the country hills location. Both are great!
The staff are always very diligent and friendly by the way. Most of the time we do take-out but once in a while we enjoy to eat-in. They do have a special discount if you pick-up and pay cash, so that's what we normally do. We use the online ordering from their website and they are very good about food allergies btw! We just write it as a comment and no issues. They don't have a problem calling us if something has an allergen, so we can switch it.
Their lunch buffet is the only thing that I would change.... I'd prefer to see at least 2 more choices for the buffet and more sweet & sour sauce on the chicken (or have some on the side). I love that they have the dumplings and their wonton soup surfing the buffet cause those are two of our favorite items.
The last time we went to Ginger Beef was when they were still situated at Willow Park. So we went to try their lunch buffet. It’s smaller than it used to be. But out favourites were still there. Their ginger beef was tasty and not too spicy. The two soups were both tasty and hot. Most buffets only have lukewarm soup. The cost was reasonable but it would have been nice to have a small dessert to end the meal.
Honestly I think I am addicted to their ginger beef with their special hot sauce. They even sell the hot sauce in jars if you want to take it home!
Had the all you can eat buffet here today, the food was fresh service was friendly and they kept the food topped up and it tasted great. A bit too many deep fried items but for $12 you get a great meal. The two choices of soups and dumplings were great!!
We had the peking duck and it was amazing! The skin was crispy and the crepes were nice an hot! We love dining here or ordering take out on the weekends. The salt and pepper squid is tasty and has the perfect amount of heat. I would recommend having this at the restaurant as it can begin to get soggy during take out. Most of the time the food is amazing but they do have their off days. Regardless this place is definitely worth a try if you haven't been here.
There are 10 items on Ginger Beef Express' dim sum menu. I don't think that really matters when soup dumplings are on the menu. Not an easy item to make, nor find in Calgary in my opinion, but they have them here at Ginger Beef Express of all places.
The other items on the dim sum menu are basic dim sum items like shrimp dumplings and shui mai, and they're decent. Fresh and made to order, they'll do in a pinch. However, the price for items is around $5 to $6, which can be on the higher end for dim sum.
Considering the lack of dim sum spots in the south, this place can satisfy a much-needed gap. And yes, I know it's a chain restaurant you wouldn't think twice about skipping, but if you know what to order, it might be worth a stop by for a quick lunch.
It was okay. $12-15 lunch menu for 1 main dish, rice, 1 spring roll and a bowl of hot & sour soup isn't priced too bad. The portions are large. Since it is called Ginger Beef Bistro House, I ordered the ginger beef - it was good....but I have had better in Calgary. The service leaves a lot to be desired...busy lunch hour yesterday and there was 2 servers (maybe husband and wife, not sure). Definitely not service with a smile here. All in all, I will probably visit again, but won't be recommending to friends or in a hurry to go back.
Very good. Place was packed. Service was very friendly. We ordered the stuffed green onion cakes, wor won ton soup, ginger beef, and pan fried prawns with Chinese mushrooms and broccoli. All were excellent. This was the best Chinese food we have had in a long time. We will definitely be back.
Very good dim sum for weekday lunch. Pan fried pork buns, xiao long bao, house made pork dumplings, lamb noodle soup.... The best I have found in Sough Calgary
Wow, Subperb. I have eaten plenty of Chinese food over the years , my wife and i ordered delivery were dumbfounded and almost in tears over the amazing quality and taste of this food. Every item we had was impressive , the wonton soup , spring rolls, ginger beef , beef and broccoli, chicken fried rice , sweet and sour pineapple chicken are all superb . Not a word of a lie we discussed how much we liked our dinner for a good hour , we couldn't believe it . I vowed to make this the only Chinese food place to order from now on.
I highly recommend giving Ginger Beef a try.
