Ginger Beef Express — Restaurant in Calgary

Wow, what a mistake. Had to rush and was in Willow Park so thought to grab some take out. The original location on MacLeod that burnt down was always pretty good. This express location was simply horrible. The young lady that took our order was very nice and got the order correct. But got home and it seemed off. The taste was metallic and stale. I am convinced this was reheated from frozen and was freezer burnt. The spring roll tasted horrible, the ginger beef was dry, hard, and honestly, grey in color. Stupidly, the two of us ate it and literally within an hour felt very off. Stomach was upset and cramping for both of us. The next two hours was taking Pepto Bismol and feeling like we were getting more and more nauseous. The rice was beef fried and not sure what the meat was that was used but it wasn't the right color either. How do you fry rice so that it comes to the consumer like a wet congealed ball of starch? The veggie dish was under cooked and over spiced with ginger. I don't think the veggies were fresh. And the palace style chicken was the last surprise at how bland and off tasting it was. I have sent a note to the franchise and because they were closed have not heard back. I would never recommend this franchise again and they are not a cheap alternative. $75 for take out for two with three dishes and rice is not cheap. For the quality, it was about $80 too much!! That is because they should pay people to eat that low quality food they offer. Wish I would have read the reviews. This is one place to avoid. Or make sure you have a bottle of Pepto handy. How the two of us did not end up sick this morning was a...

Ordered Ginger beef, ginger chicken, vegetables in oyster sauce and stir fried mixed vegetables. Food arrived hot and earlier than expected. I was a little sceptical as some of the other reviews were not very flattering. We found the ginger beef and chicken very flavorful and not dry at all - just the right amount of heat and crispiness. The vegetables were all cooked perfectly, still firm, and there was a really good variety. It was nice to have dishes that did not consist mostly of celery! This lived up to the reputation of their previous location from years ago. I am happy with our choice and will definitely order from...

Ordered through skip, never again. Bbq pork you only a few pieces of meat and they hide a bunch of crap veggies under the top layer with a ton of juice that’s like brown water that shouldn’t be there and didn’t stay inside the container. Thank goodness it was in a bag or they would be paying for cleaning!! To top it off the spring rolls both of them were half burnt. Not edible. No sauces in bag either. Super disappointed and skip will only refund 50%. Waste of money...
