Lazy Monkey - Calgary, Alberta

Had a craving for chicken balls, and this place was on my way home. Chicken balls aren’t bad, some had a good amount of chicken and others were mostly batter. But I’ll be honest, the sweet and sour sauce was a huge disappointment for me. It kind of tastes like ... sweet and sour sauce, but with a bunch of icing sugar in it, very runny and was factory made. In a microwaveable container, with a thin peel off plastic seal. There’s a lot of sauce in it, but now I understand why it’s only $1.00 for extra. Read more

The table wasn’t clean when we get it, they provided the dirty bowls to us. The glasses were broken so I had sip for a water and cut myself with it.

Yikes… Things have changed here. We ordered three items, “Taiwanese” fried chicken, sweet and sour soup and the beef noodle soup with wide noodles. The “Taiwanese” chicken was at the very least crispy, but the batter was way too thick and the wrong greens were added on top. Not to mention the ... chicken was not very good quality. The beef noodle soup was inedible. The broth had no flavour and was somehow greasy. The beef had no taste and the noodles were over cooked /mushy and tasteless. The upside was the broccoli which was not cooked too much, so it was still crunchy. Finally the sweet and sour soup was not bad. It was a little on the hot side, but it had a good amount of tofu and vegetables. Long story short, skip this place. Read more

Both dishes we ordered were delicious. It's pretty simple place, but food and prices are good. Ginger beef was tender inside and crispy. Portions were big enough.

The blandest Chinese food I've ever had. The sweet and sour chicken had a little sauce drizzled over it and the rice and noodles needed soy sauce. It filled the hole in my stomach and that was about it. No cutlery was included with 3 lunch boxes to go. Absolutely ... nothing special. Read more
