Review Ciao Mein - Lethbridge

The food at Caio Mein is good. Hours are 4 to 8pm daily (closed Monday & Tuesday.) Ordering can be challenging. In our experiences if you don't call for delivery right at 4pm when they open you will get a busy signal, (sometimes they pick up and you are disconnected before anyone speaks) so if you start calling at 4:05pm and keep trying you might get through at 4:35pm, from there the earliest delivery we can get is usually at 6:30 or 7:00pm. When we have called for pick up, same deal call right away and keep trying, usually pick up orders are ready in 20 to 30 minutes. This seems to be normal, no matter what day, or time of year. They are pleasant on the phone and in the restaurant, the food is good, I'm not sure it's worth a two and a half hour wait for delivery. We've ordered may times over the years and the food and service have been consistent, good and okay are the best descriptions I can give. Not sure it's worth the hassle of ordering either, there's similar options in the city with faster service. I guess pickup is worth it, if you can get through on the phone.

This is the absolute best place in town for Chinese food! Their portions sizes are excellent, we order the dinner for 6 plus the fried rice stick (my favorite) and it feeds our family of 11, that's 2 adults, 3 teenage boys and 6 younger kids. On top of portion size the flavors are amazing, so good that even when I'm stuffed full I'm still craving more! It is true that you have to call right as they open to get through as they are sooo busy, but I believe that speaks to the excellence of their food and yes we are super disappointed when we can't get through would absolutely love it if they would open a second location just to increase my chances ;) . Highly recommended!

Aparently a smaller order is $60, so that will be a 2 1/2 hour wait. Place is already overpriced with most of the good stuff missing from the menu any other Chinese restaurant has. I live a couple blocks down the road on Columbia. Would have been easy to drop it along their way. No I am not picking up. Whatever. They don't answer the phone half the time. Place is ran like it is about to close down. Trying to support the neighborehood. Truth is it is just a lazy ran company that makes up their ours as they please..

I Used to love ordering Chinese food from Ciao Mein, my last 2 orders where honestly disappointing, the chicken chow mein has to much bok choi, and lacking flavor. The vegetables where to crunchy

Had their dinner for five twice now in the last month and every time was amazing. There is enough for 5 adults, which means a high likelihood of leftovers the next day, which were still superb. I am glad my friends introduced me to this place. Highly recommend.

Ordered here recently, and was a little disappointed. Took an hour to make, and wasn't ready on time. I took it home, only a few blocks away, and both the Ginger Beef and Beef & Broccoli were cold (despite hot tins). Also found the amount of Beef and Broccolli to be disappointing, there was only 2/3 as much as Ginger Beef, and it's mostly Broccolli. Very expensive Broccolli. Chow Mein was great, got lots of it, and nice and warm. They really packed the tin on it. Chicken Balls were also good. But when you spend $60 on take out, you expect that ALL the tins are full and ALL the food is warm. The Beef and Broccolli was good after I reheated it, but the Ginger Beef was one of my least favorite I've had. Also, very disappointed that we got no fortune cookies or chopsticks. Isn't that a Chinese restaurant staple? Being so close, I'd love to try these guys more, but can't justify paying $60 for half cold food when Pizza is next door, cheaper, and always near scalding.

Well I would love to have an experience to share but I have probably called 50 times over last few months between(4-8). Nobody had picked up the phone ever . Like not even once.

Boy, sure wish I could try their food. Took 24 calls and over 30 mins just to get through....24 CALLS!!!! Finally find a human on the other end, order my pickup and told it'll be over an hour. Thanks for wasting my time. Wow!

We picked up some take out for my sisters birthday. Dumplings, ginger beef, honey garlic ribs, dry ribs, shanghai noodles, chow mein, fried rice, beef and broccoli, and some vegetarian options for my niece. Food was fresh, hot, well prepared and did not disappoint. Remember that good food takes time. Everything is freshly prepared.

Best Chinese food!!! We ordered this evening and it was the freshest Chinese food we have ever had! Hands down, BEST won ton soup ever! Everything was delicious! We will be regulars. The staff is super friendly too. :)

Great food!! So happy Dave and Al are back cooking our favorites...Family owned and operated couldnt get any better. Best Chinese food in the city!!

Honestly its the best Chinese food in Lethbridge, 10/10 love it

I really enjoyed the food......but I love my ginger beef not sweet
