Golden Central

Came here because our regular place was having a private function. We were seated immediately by a friendly host given the restaurant was empty at 10:30 a day after Chinese New year. This decor is very minimalistic and is just a place to eat. This place is kid friendly with plastic cutlery and cup and the service is very attentive but not overwhelming. The food itself is satisfactory, but lacking some of the flavour many other that dim sum places excel at.

Fantastic Dim Sum. Always great full of flavour and steaming hot. I much prefer getting it straight from the kitchen instead of the rolling carts. Better flavour and fresh. Go you will not be disappointed. A friend of mines father passed away and the had the memorial dinner for 100 there. Even with that crowd all was hot and fantastic

On CNY, we planned to go central grand but they were booked for a party so we decided to give this place a try. To my surprise, food was good and quiet especially on cny. We went there at 1030 so if you want a quiet dim sum, go early. I would go again.

It's a 'real' chinese restaurant. I enjoyed it so much. The food are so delicious as compare to Chinese restaurants elsewhere in Calgary.

. Make sure if you order take out/delivery they repeat your order cause they get it wrong!!! I ordered sweet and sour pork and sweet and sour chicken got 2 orders of pork no chicken. Ordered 2 orders of fried rice got 1 order of steamed rice. The ginger beef is over cooked. Their dumplings are horrible couldn't even finish one. Its icky. I mean there are worse places but...not sure that means this place is worth it.

I really wish this restaurant would do better with service and service time. It was so bad that what would have been 4 stars down to 3. We ordered a separate order ahead of time and told them to bring that out. We did a second order for rest of family. We had a big party of 14 but that doesn’t factor in since they are just dropping off food and not cleaning. We waited over 1 hour for our first order but only 2 out of the 8 dim sum dishes. Basically the entire service time was 2.5 hours for a dim sum restaurant which is unheard of. At least 2 tables who came after us got their food and left before us. We waited 30 min for them to get us hot sauce even. It actually was not too busy today. We asked our waitress why the service was slow today. She gave us attitude and walked away. We just wanna know! Should I come back? I hope the owner/ manager takes this seriously.

We came for dim sum. The layout of the restaurant is awkward but clean. Can accommodate larger tables. We waited for 50 minutes for our order with only one dish arriving after 20 minutes. The rest of our order took the full 50 minutes and didn't start to arrive until after we complained. The food was very tasty but I'm not sure it was worth the wait and the price. Expensive for the portion size.

Easily the worst Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been to. We waited over 1.5 hours for the food to come, when our first dish soup finally came, it was tiny and nothing to rave about. Our next dish took another 20min. At the 2 hour point we were starving and still hadn’t gotten our food, so we paid for the 2 dishes and left. We went straight to Great Taste Chinese Cuisine 3min away, ordered and got all of our food in 16min. If you want good Chinese food, go to Great Taste Chinese Cuisine, don’t waste your time here.

Huge Differences Between Walk-In and Referral I was invited to a dinner at this restaurant on 2019/08/10. It was a nice experience with generous portion and fast service. Therefore, I booked a dinner here for a birthday celebration on 2019/08/18, and pre-ordered the exact same dishes. Upon arrival there were 5 tables of 10, including ours. We waited an hour prior to the first dish to arrive. Portions were dramatically reduced, while another table ordered the same dishes saw similar portion as the invited dinner. Our ice cream cake was almost totally melt at the end of the 2.5 hours wait. Dinner also rang in higher than quoted price. Unless you know someone who knows the chef, I cannot make a case to come this restaurant.

The shao Mao was literally not edible. The second you picked it up it all falls apart
