"the dumplings and chicken feet taste quite good. the sauce on the chicken feet is alright, I find it a little too greasy, or maybe that's just the way how its supposed to be. service is fast but probably because I'm the only customer during my visit!"
Over the weekend I was able to try Silver Dragon's Dim Sum menu. I remember coming to this place when I was a child so these guys have been around for a while. Upon entering the restaurant we were quickly seated with the best seat in the house (close to the kitchen). As we sat down there was already a dim sum push cart in front of us. Then another 6 7 carts came in a row so we got our food super fast. We ordered the curry squid (tasty and flavorful),beef tripe (was okay but didn't have that ginger and onion taste), shrimp dumpling (average), eggplant and shrimp (saucy with lots of shrimp meat), fried shrimp and taro (good but too pasty), and sui mai (more of a lean meat which I preferred).

This is authentic Chinese food, not the westernized overly sweet overly saucy stuff I'm used to. My hubby and I really enjoyed it! We ordered the wonton soup, juicy pork dumplings, ginger beef, sweet sour pork, the prawn chow mein, and the BBQ pork egg Foo Yung (we ordered way too much fyi but now we have lots of leftovers). The dumplings the prawn chow mein were my favourites out if everything. The service was good the prices are higher than average but for the quality that you're getting I think it's fair. Clean bathrooms fyi. We did get seated right away and the restaurant was very busy . The wait for the food wasn't bad especially since it seems like they make every dish fresh to order.O...
Silver Dragon has a really diverse menu, with loads of options for all kinds of customers, from the “mall Chinese food” classics to more traditional dishes that suit a more authentic palate. <br/ <br/ I tried the Shanghai noodles and they were wonderful. Very well seasoned and perfectly cooked noodles. Ginger beef was great as well, came in a mild sweet chilli glaze. But the chow neon noodles were surprisingly bland! Their prices are definitely on the higher side, but the portions are quite hearty. Their spring rolls were quite over priced for a portion of *just one* IMO, but I’ll just get fewer next time. Delivery was also prompt and friendly.
Love and hate this place! :P The line-up is annoying and the service is not always the best but it is a very fun restaurant with unique options. I tried chickens feet here for the first time! You can order off the menu but more common is to grab items off the carts that roam the area. Don't be afraid to flag a waiter down if they have what you want because they seem to have routes they take and won't always come by your table.It's not too expensive given the variety.

Dim sum YUM! Love this restaurant for the food and the atmosphere. The servers push little carts of food around to your table and you can choose which items you want to try and the ceiling is decorated with Chinese lanterns. The sticky rice is some of the best in city and there are tons of steamed dishes to try. They also serve friend rice and ginger beef for the less adventurous folk.
Went here after a having a terrible experience at another nearby restaurant. <br/ <br/ Food was good, service was about average, restaurant was clean. I've heard good things about their dim sum so I will try that next time. The only negative thing I have to say is that it took a while for me to get water and extra hot sauce.
I would have rated 3.8 if I could. Been here several times, nice atmosphere, busy at lunch time, fairly tasty dim-sum, all the dim-sum are served on the food cart for your selection. If you want vegetable dish, will need to tell them, they have a few selections in small portions. You can also order big plate of vegetable.
The Best Dimsum in Calgary! Must be there early as it gets busy and it’s not easy to get a table when it’s busy. I’ll wait though for great tasting dimsum. Will go back again. And I highly recommend it as well. Those tripe are the best melt in your mouth delicious dimsum!

My last review was viewed 28,935 times. Look at the old roof lines across the street, they were known as Hull Duplexes, built in 1890. Met friends for Dim Sum lunch today, great spot, a Calgary classic. You will not be disappointed, Have been happily going for decades
