Shanghai Classic Restaurant

This restaurant is one of the first Chinese ones we've been too. We know lots of people who go here so they recommended it to us. Inside it's a bite tight meaning they have a lot of tables and not much space, but I guess they want to accomodate as much as possible. Very nice staff and service was great. Polite servers. We ordered salt and pepper squid, ginger beef mild, special rice and some vegetables. The salt and pepper squid is out of this world good!!! Really tasty, light and fluffy batter that was crispy but soft inside and the squid was cooked to perfection. Wasn't rubbery at all. The ginger beef was not my favorite but it was still delicious. A bit too sweet in my opinion. Vegetables were a bit bland but went well as a side dish. And the special rice was really delicious as well. Overall very great experience and will definitely be back for the squid and to try some new dishes as well.

Food was really good! Fast and Friendly Service! Kinda tight space but restaurant was packed. Crispy Chicken, Salt N Pepper Squid, Peking Duck, Fried Rice, Fish Mow Soup, Lobster over Crispy Noodle all were fantastic!

One of the best traditional Chinese restaurants left in Calgary. Same food as when I was a teenager. Always my favorite spot to go out of my way to eat at. Food is always consistent.

Service could be better, especially when the restaurant is not even busy. When and if the waitress couldn’t multitask, I think, at the very least, they could acknowledge the customers when they walk in. After we were seated, it took a while before she brought over the menus, even though there were only 4-5 customers present. Overall, not only the service was slow, but the staff was not courteous when asked for basic things like refills. We have been at countless restaurants that were way busier and never had to ask for such simple things. The staff just knew to bring tea, water, or extra napkins when appropriate.

Ordered delivery, first time trying.. we were not disappointed! I am always looking for great Chinese food after my brother in law sold their restaurant a few years back. Its been impossible, until now! The salt & pepper squid could be a tad spicier for my liking but the crunch and taste was amazing! Ginger beef & Shanghai noodles were so good as well! No complaints! Will definitely be our new go to Chinese restaurant hands down!

禮拜一中午去的，人很多，外場只有一個人，上菜速度慢，烤鴨不錯，餅給的挺多的，黃瓜還削過，其他的菜很油普通，椒鹽肉排：都是骨頭肉很少很油，梅干扣肉：肉不入味.肥肉巨多. 吃完難受到晚上，估計是太油了，下次再去可能就只吃烤鴨

I've tried my fair share of Chinese restaurants, but here they consistently risen above the rest to become my absolute favorite. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. But the real reason I keep coming back is the food – it's simply outstanding. Every dish I've tried has been a testament to the chef's skill and dedication to authentic Chinese flavors. Their salt and pepper squid is a perfect balance of salt, spice, and fresh. You can tell that they use high-quality ingredients and take pride in their cooking. What truly sets them apart is the consistency. I've been here numerous times, and the food is always just as delicious as the last time. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the service is always top-notch. It's the perfect place for a casual weeknight dinner or a special occasion. Whether I'm dining in or ordering takeout, I'm always impressed with the quality and flavor of the food. If you're looking for a truly exceptional Chinese dining experience, look no further. It's my go-to, and I highly recommend it.
