Snow Palace Restaurant - Calgary, Alberta

Please do NOT order pickup from this place. The gentleman who gave me the food was very kind, but when I was walking to my car, I noticed that I had something dripping on me from the bottom of the bag. I placed it on the mat on the passenger ... side until I could get home since sometimes there can be a little bit of leaking from the containers, but the moment that I tried to lift the bag out, the entire bottom COMPLETELY fell apart, splattering food everywhere. None of the containers were sealed and juices completely drenched the bottom of the bag in the mere 4 minutes it took to drive home, my seats are covered in sauces, and we could only manage to salvage a portion of the meal. This was not worth the time and effort it will take to get the stains out of my vehicle now. Read more

One of those neighborhood Chinese that is close to get to, always available and the same owner over a number of years. The food is all right with not much surprise. Traditional Chinese dishes are offered and the taste is similar to all the restaurants around the city.

Delicious authentic Cantonese dishes! It’s very nice to have a decent Chinese restaurant in the NW. The highlight was definitely the 賽螃蟹 (egg white fish dish topped with egg yolk and vinegar) which I wish we had ordered two servings. Also ordered duck and taro, deep fried pork, and lobster ... with crispy noodles and cream sauce. We will definitely be coming back! Read more

One of the best Chinese restaurants in Calgary for sure. Had dinner in this restaurant before, food are excellent, especially the waitress in the restaurant, I can say they the best one, no matter how busy they are, they still keep smiling and helping for every customer. Highly recommended.

After hearing about this unique Chinese restaurant in the NW and reading some reviews we decided to give it a try. I want to start by saying the food we ordered was great, but the service was horrible, whether it was by a miscommunication or some other ... reason this was truly disappointing to be ignored, we were sat by the guy at the front counter, it took over fifteen minutes to get our drink order in… tables that came in after us and sat down received service well before we did, we finally had to stand up and wave a server down just to get our order taken. I would like to state the restaurant at this time was at best 40 to 50% full, there were still many open tables and seeing the service the adjacent tables were getting was not really a good experiencee. As for the food, it wasn't bad the crispy chicken was quite nice, the wonton soup was a bit above average, the sweet and sour pork wasn’t too bad fairly standard, one dish that was a bit disappointing was the shrimp and vermicelli hot pot, it was quite heavy on the noodles and had way to much liquid in the dish to make it on par with what we have had in other restaurants . I'm really hesitant about trying this place again given our experience, I would like to given the quite diverse menu. Read more
