Golden West Restaurant - Calgary

It is the stereotypical Chinese-Canadian restaurant from my youth. I only had takeout. Food was okay but a good deal! They do have a pretty good rendition of the classic deep fried chicken balls with fluorescent sweet and sour sauce! Brings back memories!

So awesome, amazing food and amazing service and also the price is to good to be true. Thank you so much.

The dinner for one was great! I had the beef with broccoli and chicken chow mein. Good portions and a good price. Don't let the outside scare you away if good Chinese food is what your looking for and not some fancy dining experience I would recommend and would eat here again anytime.

Spoke to polite woman ,who said they could deliver to me .fantastic food and great service, I’m here in Calgary working now found my go to place for Chinese food. Thank you so much

Read the reviews and said new ownership and it was better. It was rock hard sweet and sour pork and ginger beef has no flavour. Wonton soup was decent I wont go back disappointing

Under new ownership!! Ordered a dinner for 4 plus some extra dishes and it was all delicious. Not one complaint. Plus they put a bag full of condiments, napkins, and plastic cutlery in the bag. Very nice touch. The website does not state delivery, but they do. But we picked our food up and got the 12 percent discount. Not to mention that it was ready when they said it would be. Give this restaurant a try. You will not be sorry.

Delicious! We had pineapple chicken, broccoli stir fry and fried rice.

Starving and turned away for dine in service by a Chinese restaurant not to far from here ..my son and I ventured into Bowness and discoverers the Golden West Restaurant. We were greeted by a young lady that explained how dine in worked . You order and pay- cafeteria style- and your food is brought out in take out containers with utensils on a tray. Desperate to feed my son something quick ( it was getting late). We ordered his favorites via a dinner for two. It came with salt and pepper squid Sweet and sour pork ( normally it comes with ginger beef but he finds that too spicy so we substituted the pork) Spring rolls fried rice and wonton soup. The young lady a mother of two young children herself totally understood and adjusted and accommodated all of our requests I had forgotten to order the squid less spicy and my son had an Initial reaction that had him panting like a dog and waving his tongue frantically . Without hesitating- the lady taking the orders asked my son if he wanted some milk and rushed to get him a glass . She was super observant and so so kind . She even brought some board games for him to play with while we waited for the food . I did not see but heard her children on the other side of the cafe- This is a restaurant owned by a family that is very kind with amazing customer service . I would return for the service alone !! The wonton soup was seasoned perfectly and the little wontons had a thin wrapping - which I prefer to the thicker kind. It had a little bit too many yellow rusticly chopped onions for my sons palate but I thought it was soooo good. The salt and pepper squid and sweet and sour pork were slightly both over battered - the pork had equal amounts fatty pork and batter - My chef always told me the ratio of breading should at the absolute most - be 70-80 % meat and the rest batter , outside of this issue the degree of crisp was perfect . The sauce for the pork was a little too sweet but all tasted so good . Rice was a bit oily but lots of flavour Portions were HUGE I still can’t get over how impressed I was by the service and the kindness from the incredibly intuitive lady taking orders . We will for sure come back for Chinese here and happily recommend them to any families or parents with young children . These guys rock
