Shanghai Classic Restaurant — Restaurant in Calgary

I've tried my fair share of Chinese restaurants, but here they consistently risen above the rest to become my absolute favorite. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. But the real reason I keep coming back is the food – it's simply outstanding. Every dish I've tried has been a testament to the chef's skill and dedication to authentic Chinese flavors. Their salt and pepper squid is a perfect balance of salt, spice, and fresh. You can tell that they use high-quality ingredients and take pride in their cooking. What truly sets them apart is the consistency. I've been here numerous times, and the food is always just as delicious as the last time. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the service is always top-notch. It's the perfect place for a casual weeknight dinner or a special occasion. Whether I'm dining in or ordering takeout, I'm always impressed with the quality and flavor of the food. If you're looking for a truly exceptional Chinese dining experience, look no further. It's my go-to, and I highly...

This has been my favourite Chinese restaurant for over a decade. They have the BEST ginger beef! However, we ordered right at 5pm on NYE for pick up and they said our food would be ready in 1.5 hours, which is WAY longer than normal (pre-covid). I showed up with my toddler at the quoted time and wait for an hour outside/in the car before taking my daughter home as it was nearing her bedtime and we were both getting cranky. I finally got a call at 8pm that our food was ready. I figured they took on too many orders or something which was the cause for the delay. We also didn't receive one of the dishes we ordered and paid for and the gentleman I spoke to on the phone who said he would look into it never called me back. We ordered again tonight and was extremely disappointed that our food was not ready at the quoted time. My husband had to wait an additional 45 minutes before our order was ready. It breaks my heart to receive this level or service and have to consider finding a...

This restaurant is one of the first Chinese ones we've been too. We know lots of people who go here so they recommended it to us. Inside it's a bite tight meaning they have a lot of tables and not much space, but I guess they want to accomodate as much as possible. Very nice staff and service was great. Polite servers. We ordered salt and pepper squid, ginger beef mild, special rice and some vegetables. The salt and pepper squid is out of this world good!!! Really tasty, light and fluffy batter that was crispy but soft inside and the squid was cooked to perfection. Wasn't rubbery at all. The ginger beef was not my favorite but it was still delicious. A bit too sweet in my opinion. Vegetables were a bit bland but went well as a side dish. And the special rice was really delicious as well. Overall very great experience and will definitely be back for the squid and to try some new...
