Lucky Place Restaurant - Calgary, Alberta

Everything here is pure Cantonese taste! We love their exclusive pig organ vermicelli soup, tastes very umami and well flavoured. Especially the pig organs they add like pig liver, pig intestines, and pork chasiu pieces, you can taste different textures and flavours in one bowl. Soup base is not very ... salty and not add MSG which is my preference. They have other dishes worth trying for example the beef brisket, Peking duck, seafood. Overall lucky place is for people who are fans of Cantonese cuisine or Chinese cuisine, you definitely will find your heaven here. Read more

This is a gem hidden in the China town. The price is reasonable and the food is tasty. All we ordered tasted good. I specially loved the stir fried kale with squid with shrimp paste. The squid was super tender and tasty. I would definitely go there again.

so fast the best Cantonese style restaurant in Calgary! Definitely over ordered for 1 person but everything is up to standard for Cantonese! They offered a free daily soup to begin with- which is not a random free soup but something that cooked with heart & effort for hours! ... Will recommend fried rich, jianniang sanbao, roast chicken and they also provided free desert at the end- highlight of the night. will definitely go again if I am ever home sick of authentic Cantonese food. The vibe is generally family friendly but definitely not a speak easy vibe for dates. Read more

We can find dishes here that we won't see in other places, and for me, many of them were a first-time experience. The restaurant is located inside a building, and even though I've passed by Chinatown many times before, I never noticed it. ✔️ A must-try Cantonese soup! It was nourishing and ... refreshing. It came in a large bowl filled with meat, chicken, offal, and chicken feet – a hearty and healthy meal on its own! ✔️ Typhoon Shelter Crab 🦀: A whole large crab, cooked and stir-fried without being greasy, and it was delicious! ✔️ Sour and Spicy Minced Meat Noodles 🍜: This was a delightful surprise! The sour and spicy flavor was fantastic, and it came with a row of bean curd skin and plenty of noodles. We finished every bit of it! ✔️ Chaozhou-Style Steamed Clams 🐚: I absolutely loved this dish. It was refreshing and could be spiced up with chili or their homemade chili sauce. The clams were plentiful, and the cabbage underneath absorbed all the flavors. ✔️ Chicken Wings Stuffed with Shrimp Balls: A must-order if you love chicken wings and shrimp balls! ✔️ Crispy Pork Ribs with Black Truffle: Similar in texture to sweet and sour spare ribs but with the added luxury of black truffle. It's a flavor that both northerners and southerners can enjoy, and it was a pleasant surprise! ✔️ A must-try roasted chicken dish. It's a whole chicken served with two dipping sauces, and the flavors were rich and delightful. The skin was crispy, and the meat tender and flavorful. 🍮 Desserts: The dessert of the day varies, and we were fortunate to try Ginger Milk Custard and Pumpkin Sago Soup, both with generous portions. We even took some home! Read more

This is my second time dining here. The space is tight, so I personally do not think it’s suitable for anyone who has mobility problems. Is this place kids friendly? It depends on how you see it. As I mentioned above, the space is tight but they do provide enough ... amount of high chairs and boosters. It’s recommended to pack some patience with you, while dining here. It takes time to be greeted and then seated. Otherwise, the food is decent! They have a good variety of dishes. Combos are great, but they are offered in special occasion as I see. The portion is huge though, so we over ordered in both visits. Their prices are unbeatable too! I’ll definitely return. Read more
