Top Best Chinese Restaurants in Downtown East Village

"Considered to be one of the best places for Dim Sum in the city, Silver Dragon is another great option for a food adventure. You can choose to order from their menu or if you are there during their Dim Sum daily brunch instead you can choose from dishes made for sharing from the Dim Sum carts circling around. If you go on the weekend, there can be a line-up but once you’re seated you get to start eating right away.Note: I’ve been told that Silver Dragon does not have the best washrooms and are lacking change tables."

"The Silver Dragon restaurant is located right in the heart of Chinatown in South East Calgary. The restaurant was opened in the streets of Chinatown back in the year 1966. And ever since then, been serving Calgarians with authentic Chinese cuisines."

"The thing about Chinese restaurants is that you have to know what to order. Perhaps because of the super long menu, not all the dishes are winners. I rely on my friend Ms. Biz to guide me to the best food."

"Another hidden gem in the burbs for Chinese food is Bill’s Peking House, serving Chinese food since 1988!. When I told my friends I had so-so dim sum at the popular Silver Dragon, they took me to Bill’s Peking House as one of the best dim sum restaurants in Calgary. The must-order here is the steamed shrimp and scallop dumpling, which is rare to find even in Toronto."

While they’ve got some Western-style dishes, they also have more authentic Chinese fare, and are known for their delicious Peking Duck."

Considered the birthplace of Ginger Beef, Silver Inn has been a Calgary destination for Westernized Peking-style dishes since 1975. For over 40 years, folks have loved this family-run restaurant’s Chinese food, from their signature Ginger Beef to things like Sweet and Sour Pork to Lemon Chicken."

"Though my go-to restaurantChong Fatjust opened up again, I took this opportunity to dine atLucky Place. I still fantasize about the dishes Ms. Biz ordered back in June 2017. For this post, let’s listen to “Fantasy” by Mariah Carey."

"At supper time this restaurant has a steady stream of dine-in customers and take out orders. Everytime I've called for take-out they put exactly what I ordered, and it was hot and yummy. Once I had to wait a long time because they were understaffed that night, but service since then has been excellent."

"A post shared by Yumi Park (@1991.kaylee) on Dec 20, 2015 at 4:00pm PST. The New Dynasty has been serving up all you can eat Chinese food in Calgary for nearly 25 years. Throughout the years, the ornate and hospitable restaurant has stood by its philosophy of serving the best for less."

"Cherry Inn restaurant is a family-owned business in Calgary, running for over 30 years now. Calgarians consider it the city’s hidden gem, which offers quality Chinese cuisines and satisfactory customer services. Photo from Cherry Inn website."

"A post shared by Cafe 16 (@cafe16yyc) on Sep 29, 2018 at 3:51pm PDT. Boozy bubble teas, waffles cooked to order and shaved ice made with fresh milk are just some of the tasty treats you can get at Cafe 16. This sweet hangout spot offers a menu influenced by Asian street eats but with a contemporary twist."

"Bookers skips all the pomp and circumstance, getting right down to what really matters: food. Every Sunday, this Southern-style, casual warehouse invites you to its all you can eat crab legs and BBQ ribs event along with an all-day happy hour. Expert barbeque chefs slow smoke Bookers’ pork daily so you know you’re in good hands."

"A post shared by Bookers BBQ + Crab Shack (@bookersbbqyyc) on Dec 11, 2016 at 11:50am PST. Head to Bookers for unlimited crab legs and ribs every Sunday starting at 4pm for $56.95. A dress code is in effect: stretchy pants and oversized shirt attire only."

"CF Chinook Centre is Calgary’s largest shopping, dining, and entertainment destination with over 250 stores. Major department stores like Hudson’s Bay, Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue, make it easy to spend the day at CF Chinook Centre. Take in a movie at Scotiabank Cineplex, try your hand at 5 pin bowling at the Chinook Bowladrome, or enjoy a casual meal at Double Zero Pizza."

"If you’re brand name conscious, stop off at CF Chinook Hall, located near Meadlark Park. It’s your one-stop shop for Nordstrom gear, Saks Fifth Avenue pieces and Louis Vuitton. It’s also home to the only Lego store in the city, and boasts a massive movie theatre."
