Ginger Beef Express — Restaurant in Calgary

Got food poisoning from this place, never again. The order sizes are enough to feed a small army, but the quality is just not there. Ordered the $47.00 meal for two with Ginger Beef and Chicken and Black Bean sauce, and ended up getting quite sick. EVERYTHING tasted like it was cooked in rancid oil. The beef was tough, chewy and had no sauce in the container, and the chicken was slimy, under sauced and tasted “off.” Even the rice tasted rancid, like it had been cooked in old oil. Unfortunately I ended up quite ill from eating here, and almost lost a week of school during finals due to food poisoning.

Shanghai beef noodles were good and not as salty as most places thankfully, sweet and sour pork was amazing, small wonton soup was really good as well and a decent size, but all in all not really worth the price I paid. Would definitely recommend the sweet and sour pork but...

I ordered skip the dishes an hour before they closed. At any restaurant this is a gamble. This restaurant made the gamble pay off with freshly cooked HOT ginger beef and sweet and sour chicken. I burned my tongue on the ginger beef it had been cooked so recently.

I had a stressful day of job interviews and I would have eaten anything and I wasn't expecting the moon via skip the dishes at an hour to closing time. I really appreciate that they went out of their way to send me a quality meal when most places have a bus tub full of stuff that has been sitting for moments like...
