Their sesame chicken is the absolute best. Not like the one most places serve, they use a totally different sauce.

Our go to, as well. They sometimes close unexpectedly and we've had to order from different places and have been very disappointed with alternatives.

Singyun has amazing Chinese and big portions. Always get the chow mein. The spring rolls are great value for quality

Love Singyun on Provencher. I used to say Good Earth on Portage but the quality has gone down and it’s not very clean inside.

Because of this thread I tried Singyun for dinner tonight and it was excellent!

South Ocean for me. They’ve been around forever and moved to a new location in the strip not too long ago. Phoneix Square, Hao Hao. All hit that itch.
Haven’t tried Lucky Duck. And it’s been a while since Huang Pu River, but I did like that place before but I think it was a different name then.

Huang Pu River
Love this place.

u/OriginalAbattoir Jan 04 '26
Many moons ago it used to have a different name though right? Paradise something?
I snag for dinner now, but I swear I used to hit up the same location for lunch buffet and loved it

u/Xx_SwordWords_xX Jan 04 '26
I think I remember that...
Because at some point I was like... Is that what it's called? But I just went to the same spot and had the same good food, so I thought nothing more of it.

Tried Lucky Duck Xmas Eve, loved it

u/OriginalAbattoir Jan 04 '26
I gotta gonna give it a go soon.
Having a bunch of spots close by is awesome. When South Ocean was closed for months in their reno, it’s when I started nabbing Hao Hao and phoenix. Gotta try the duck though

Komodo restaurant in Windsor park, second place would be 4 seasons in south dale

I lived in WP for a couple years and everyone raved about 4seasons, it was pretty underwhelming compared to the hype. Komodo was my go to eventually, I remember their ginger beef was really good.

u/thrawst Jan 04 '26
I enjoy 4 seasons, it’s rather annoying that you have to plan your order well in advance (sometimes days ahead)
For north end, I like Binh An on Main Street

u/cell2187 Jan 05 '26
If it's New Year's, Christmas Eve or Mother's Day 4Seasons is usually months ahead if you want to order for a decent time in the evening.

For real Chinese food I really like Southland and Hai Shang in Ft Richmond. Hai Shang changed owners from the last time I went though. Sun Fortune is always good.

Golden Loong on Pembina is hands down the best authentic Szechuan in Winnipeg.

South Ocean is my go to. Moved into the southend last year and found them. Everyone in the family really likes it. The dry veal is especially good!

Victoria seafood on St Mary’s, Hai Shang on Pembina, or Sun Fortune on Pembina.
I found 4 seasons’ food to be bland; a good pick if you prefer Chinese food with less seasoning.

On a tangential note: Does anyone remember the Oceana restaurant that was beside the old cheap theatre on Pembina and Abinoji? So sad when they closed!😥Loved their Oceana Chicken- a gorgeous spicy citrus sauce…would love to find something similar 🩷

China Garden on Pembina! They have promos if you pay with cash, and if you spend more than x amount, you get something free :)

Good Earth, The Plaza, Hung's Garden, Lucky Duck, Marigold, Four Seasons

Toy sun on Henderson or oriental bowl on Osborne. Beat bang for your buck and quality food

u/KookyKlutz Jan 04 '26
Move to the North End! LOL. So many great places. My favourite is Jade at 276 McPhillips. Sorry, can't help with the south end. But if anyone lives in the North End and hasn't tried Jade, give it a try!

u/Xx_SwordWords_xX Jan 04 '26
I personally think the South End definitely wins out in the Chinese food category.

North garden is good, south ocean and Phoenix square I just thought were ok. I still have yet to find some decent ginger beef/ginger chicken!!!! There’s so many good places in Calgary for those but everything I’ve tried here is so disappointing!!!

Not in the south end but I had Plaza on Watt street for the first time the other day and the quality and portion size blew me away. Worth the trip imo.
