Came with two ladies from work who have been here before. They ordered several selections off the menu for us to indulge in. Really enjoyed the dim sum dumplings as I do love dim sum. They have a parking lot right next door and they take your license plate when you first enter the restaurant to register your vehicle. The parking lot isn't that big but we found it accommodating for us as it wasn't busy for an afternoon. Service was prompt and good. Enjoyed all the different menu items we tried
Tasty dim sum and speedy service made our visit to Urban China very enjoyable. Everything we picked from the carts was excellent, as was the gai lan that we ordered off of the menu.
The service was quick and responsive, while being friendly. Overall, an excellent experience.
Great dinner. Prices are alright. Friendly service. Come here for dinner quite often, but can vouch for the dim sum. Great fried rice, dumplings, lo back gao, etc.
Urban China is usually my go-to for dim sum and Chinese dinners. Price is a bit higher compared to other Chinese restaurants but their food is usually really good especially their dim sum. Service is prompt and food comes out fairly quickly. We've tried many dishes here so it's hard to give a separate description and review for each, but overall they're good in comparison to others. I would say dim sum is their highlight. Go here for dim sum. It will easily become your favourite.
Urban China Is A Great Dim Sum I Recommend To Go Here.Its A Very Nice Place And I Will Love To Come Again So Come And Enjoy A Great Dim Sum

Came in on a Friday night, to be honest, looking for dim sum. I'm not really sure what the hours they serve dim sum, I've only figured out they serve it daily.... Anyway, since there was no dim sum we got a couple beers and decided what we wanted.We ended up starting with some pork intestine as well as shrimp with chili and garlic. I cant speak for everyone,but I consider myself a fairly savvy eater and I've come to realize certain "textures" are not suitable for the north American palette. The pork intestine fell under that category. Maybe its really good, I don't know. But it certainly wasn't for me. To be fair our waitress gave me the "are you sure you want that?" look. On the other hand the shrimp were huge and full of flavor. You can tell when somebody waited until the shrimp was partially cooked then added the garlic so it didn't burn. I appreciate things like that. I cant say anything bad about them.We ordered the Chongqing style beef and were recommended a rice dish on the side. I think it was the yi ge fried rice, but I'm not 100%. The beef was spicy, hot and it came out in a big bowl smothered in dried chilies on a hidden bed of greens all boiling away in this steel bowl. The beef was absolutely amazing, easily in my top 5 favourite Chinese dishes. The rice was a very good version of fried rice, full of shrimp and scallops. Definitely enjoyed it as much as one enjoys fried rice. Overall it was a great meal, The staff are very helpful and the food is great. I'm not sure why I cant figure out when they serve dim sum, also why the parking lot asked me to "text in" my parking info(which I certainly did not do) but asides from those minimal bothers it was a great meal. Ill be back again for sure. Maybe even get lucky and stumble upon the mythical dim sum hour.

The restaurant is well taken care of, with white tablecloths, plenty of traditional decorations, and a nice, relaxing atmosphere. It’s a little classier than many of its Chinatown competitors and the price point reflects that–it’s a few dollars more per dish than restaurants like All Happy and Garden Bakery, but the food is made fresh and the service is much more attentive.

My very Vietnamese side of the family came tonight to celebrate my cousins birthday; with four tables of 8-10 people , my auntie decided on ordering separate dishes rather than going for the pre made sets. The reservation was for 7:30;but we didn't end up eating until 9...waiting for people to arrive. Service throughout the nice was quick. Always having tea and waters refilled along with changing of plates. List of dishes and my opinion below...
**I've come for dim sum a dozen times and service was always quick to get us seated. The trolleys are pretty slow to refill though depending on what time of the day you show up. I like the rice rolls and the siu mai here; the chicken feet isn't as juicy as jumbo! 😑
First dish; Tossed jelly-like pasta sheet with sauce...cold dish and was topped with fried fish cakes with imitation crab meat in the middle. Quite random and the fish cakes were warm to basically cold. I was starving by the time I actually got to taste this, so to me it tastes amazing. There's a bit of a tangy taste to it quite like the cold squid you'd get at other appetizers for the set meals. (Menu#1)
Second dish; Diced beef tenderloin with cashew, SO TENDER. The beef was so soft I barely had to chew- nice heat and the green peppers gave a nice crunch. (Menu#64)
Third dish; Sliced abalone with oyster sauce. Okay, so the most expensive thing on the menu. And it wasn't the star of the night. Though I haven't been a fan of abalone. This one was really chewy. The veggies underneath were drenched in oil as well. (Menu#26)
Fourth dish; Shark fin soup with fresh shrimp. Comparing this with the Jumbo one and I honestly really like the way Urban has the taste. Especially with the chunks of shrimp mixed in. (Menu#21)
Fifth dish; Fresh lobster with butter cream sauce with wide wonton noodles. Taste the same as jumbo. But I really didn't like that we had the wide wonton noodles over the skinny ones. This dish is by far my favorite. The cream is addictive.
Sixth dish; Fresh crab fried with duck egg yolk; I didn't like this. There's a weird crust to it...which is the egg yolk and the taste is bitter and dry. Majority of the tables ended up eating a lot of it but for the younger crowd throughout the tables, this was not a favorite. Not on menu, ask and you shall receive though!
Seventh dish; Golden Crispy Chicken, I feel like they used a sweeter soy sauce for the marinade and it made the chicken meat taste really weird. Though it was consistent with taste, I really prefer the crispy chicken at Jumbo.
Eight dish; Ling COD with onion and garlic, my dad makes this at home atleast once a week, so I didn't even touch it when this reached the table. I watched them take the spine out though and it doesn't seem as moist as my dad has it.
Ninth dish; Yi Ge fried rice-- Bombbbbbbb. Second favorite dish tonight. And I'm happy because I got to take it for left overs. The crispy toppings on top are what make the dish complete. So once placed on table get a leveled amounts of top and bottom!
NUMBER TEN- Chouzhou style needle fried noodles. Honestly, it looks like maggots or worms. But this dish is SO good. There's heat and a bit of a bite to each noodle. Must try.

Great place for Chinese cuisine. Food quality is very good, menu selection is great, service is fast, interior is nice, and general ambiance is comfortable. Their Deep Fried Eggplant & Chicken, Assorted Seafood Chow Mein, Deep Fried Shrimp, hot pots, deep fried ginger chicken, and seafood dishes are some of their great quality, delicious dishes. Good place to go to for dim sum. Service is fast and receptive but not as personable. Definitely one of my go-to places for Chinese food in Edmonton
One of my top three favorite place to go to for dim sum in Edmonton and one of my favorite restaurant for Chinese food. Food is amazing. Peking duck for dinner is also really good here. Their peking duck soup is the only place where I find it very flavorful. Service is good and staff are friendly. There are plenty of free parking spots outside the restaurant (which is hard to find in downtown restaurants) as long as you register your license plate with a staff.
This is my Dim Sum place. The staff is amazingly friendly and the food ranges for excellent to unbelievably good. Go on Sunday but get there early because it's a favourite of many people. The food is always fresh and if you're looking for something special all you have to do is ask.
Urban China is one of my favorite places for dimsum on Saturday mornings. This particular time, I went for dinner and got seasonal veg, egg white rice and ginger beef. All 3 dishes were far better than average chinese food you get from elsewhere. However, the service was really terrible though I am already well aware not to expect great services from Asian restaurants :(
Been here a couple times and I would say their dim sum menu shines over their set meal menu. Good atmosphere and service as well, with dishes typically arriving in a timely manner.
This is currently my go to for dim sum, the Curry Squid is delicious. I do feel their dinner meals fall short on expectations considering the price. We ordered their Happy Meal for Four and unfortunately most of the dishes tasted quite bland (especially the shrimp/squid dish), and did not stand out when I compared them to similar dishes at other Chinese restaurants. The lobster was the only dish I thought was good. However, I will likely go again to try some of their individual dishes (as opposed to set meals), and see how that goes.
We tried some of the dim sum and two menu items... Large portions and good flavour. The room is clean and bright and the service is very good. Prices are high but the large portions explain the high prices.
food are decent and nice quiet environment but the price are very expensive. Will go back for dimsum but probably not hot dishes.
My regular dim sum spot! Lots of selection and the steamers are piping hot. Just remember there may be a wait of Saturday or Sunday for a table! Happy Eating!
