Ho Won Chinese Food Restaurant in Calgary was a pleasant surprise - from the exceptional service to the absolutely delicious dishes, this place exceeded our expectations. To start, the salt and pepper fried squid was an absolute standout. The squid was cooked to perfection, with a wonderfully crispy exterior and tender, ... flavorful interior. The seasoning was spot on, with just the right balance of saltiness and peppery heat. We couldn't get enough of this dish and quickly polished it off. Moving on to the mains, the roasted duck was succulent and packed with flavor, while the stir-fried mixed vegetables had that elusive "wok hei" (breath of the wok) that we crave in well-executed Chinese cuisine. The portion sizes were also very generous, making this a great value. But perhaps the most impressive aspect of our experience at Ho Won was the service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and went out of their way to ensure we had a great dining experience. They were knowledgeable about the menu and made helpful recommendations.

Amazing hidden gem for anyone looking for hearty Chinese food!

I just wanted to drop a line. I recently decided to try their take out. I like the squid like many other reviews mentioned it. The squid was cooked to perfection, holding onto its sweet taste, and the batter was light, crispy, and had just the right kick of flavor. A ... little tip though - try to enjoy it while it's still warm. Like any fried goodness, it might lose a bit of its crispiness over time. But trust me, when it's fresh, it's a crispy, yummy delight that you won't want to miss. And can we talk about portion sizes! The servings were so generous, I was both surprised and pleased. The value for the price is simply excellent. There was more than enough to satiate my hunger, and I even had leftovers for the next day! So, if you're a fan of Chinese food, or you're just in the mood to try something new and tasty, you should definitely give Ho Won a go. I'm sure you'll love it as much as I did. Read more

3.5- 4 We had breakfast combos, which came with noodle soup and drinks, it was tasty. The soup was not in large portion but enough to get full. For $6, that’s very good deal. Staff were friendly. The whole experience, the food and the environment was authentic. I would like to ... try their dinner menu next time. Read more
