Silver Dragon Restaurant (Calgary)

No matter if you're here for just a small snack or a literal meal, its all just as good. The chicken feet is absolutely beautiful, and is one of the best I've ever had. The yolk custard lava bun (pretty sure that's what it's called) is also amazing and something you should definitely order. The egg tart was absolutely jaw-droppingly gorgeous and I would give it 100 out of 10. Definitely try this place when you can!

As a tourist, mahn I loved the food here! The staff are very attentive and most of the dumplings and shumai we got were very flavorful. The only surprise was the squid, we thought it would be spicy, but it wasn't what we expected. Definitely still worth the try though! It was really busy when we arrived, but luckily they were able to give us seats right away. Highly recommend

A solid spot in Chinatown for a quick bite. The portions are on the smaller side, but the delivery is incredibly fast. It’s the perfect place to order from if you want to snack on a few different things—the variety of dim sum and small plates is great for mixing and matching.

The Silver Dragon has been in Calgary's Chinatown since 1966 so it's the oldest surviving restaurant from the days gone by. Back then, Centre Street was lined with restaurants and so many neon signs that it looked like a mini Las Vegas strip. In the early days, Sweet and Sour Spareribs and Chicken Chop Suey were considered Chinese food. Since then, more authentic options have become available so this place offers a blend of old and new. We ended up here tonight when two of our favorite spots were closed and we were pleasantly surprised with our meal. Although the service was a bit slow, it was nice to take a trip down memory lane and have some classic dishes like Almond Chicken.

We got here at 7:30 PM, and there was no wait. We got a 1/4 B.B.Q duck, egg fried rice, a small wonton soup, shrimp and pork dumplings, and mixed vegetables. Just look at the picture to see how good it is. The waitress is so nice. This is a good place for dinner.

The very friendly staff was circulating the entire time with delicious dim sum options to be selected off the push carts.

Good choice: Dinner for Two: Won Ton Soup, Crispy Spring Rolls, Ginger-Fried Beef, Chicken with Mixed Vegetables, Special Fried Rice.

The Dim Sum is amazing!! Great variety of food there. Everything is delicious and very good. Service is excellent. You must try their Lunch Dim Sum, huge selection!!!

The menu offering is extensive and there is also a variety of dim sum options. Service was fast and courteous. My tofu with mixed meat hotpot was delicious and it was a generous portion.
