Great Taste Chinese Restaurant - Calgary, Alberta

Definitely lives up to the name of the restaurant. Glad we checked it out. The menu has a great selection of chinese dishes both northern and southern. My partner and I ordered the one course peking duck with the duck fried rice and an order of the Kung pao ... chicken. The duck was roasted nicely and paired really well with the fried rice. The rice had a decent "wok hai" flavor and the Kung pao chicken had a mild spice and good flavor. Definitely worth going to for lunch or dinner. Read more

We started going to this place because one of our friends told us this was her dad’s favorite for decades. They have a big menu with dishes from a mixed selection of cuisines from different parts of China. Some of the dishes they offered are rare to find elsewhere. We have ... been here several times, and food has always been decent. Their servers are always friendly and welcoming. It is also quite spacious inside. Prices might not be the cheapest among Chinese restaurants, but some of their dishes are in big portion. This time, I came by myself with a spicy noodle soup with beef tendon and a hot soy milk. They gave me a small bowl at the side for the noodle. I didn't know what it was for, but they apparently were thoughtful. Read more

This is a little gem. An extensive menu of delicious Chinese cuisine. It is a very stereo typical Chinese Restaurant, with the usual décor. But definitely worth visiting if you are after a sumptuous Chinese meal. Rosy was friendly and very helpful in recommending several of the dishes. Absolutely delicious ... and a reasonable price.

First off, I need to point out that the staff were some of the friendliest people I have dealt with in a restaurant. My family and I visited this place for the first time on Christmas Eve of 2023 and we were pleasantly surprised. Easily the best I have had (this ... includes Edmonton). My experience is based on the following: - The food quality was second to none. I didn't feel like dying after I ate a full plate. The amount of sodium or MSG was just right. Again, I felt human after I arrived home and woke up the next morning. - The staff were working harder than anyone I have seen work on Christmas Eve. They were slammed and still managed to check on us, fill out glasses and clean the table. All while smiling and be cheerful. - The prices. You sometimes get what you pay for and this place is a bargain. Large servings, high quality and the price is just right. I highly recommend this place and look forward to returning. Read more

Pretty good. Great service. Speedy and accurate. Very polite and informative. Food flavors were as expected but not as flavourful or fragrant or in regards to the fish, as fresh as I have been lucky enough to have in other places. They have interesting variety and many good menu selections ... maybe I just missed on their specialty. I would come back for a casual meal. The food was very reasonably priced. As usual with Chinatown, parking can be tricky. Read more
