Ritz Cafe

After looking for a descent Asian restaurant in this small God for saken town, i was directed to this establishment. Now it's important to understand that the term quality or good good is greatly downplayed around here and because of this what you and I might find poor....these rednecks simply quantify as pretty damn good. As i walked in and went to find a booth i noticed i was the only one there. Still, it seemed my host was none to pleased to have to leave her video session on her laptop behind the counter. As i turned the isle to walk to my designated table, my host ran me down to shove a menue in my face before i sat down so as to not have to come all the way to my table. I sat down in a booth that was so worn out and old that it hurt my but to sit there and was so low and old that the table came up to and above my chest....i am 6 foot 2. After receiving a requested cola (an old one from the Santa Claus collection) i looked over the menu to see an 80's style Canadian menue complete with grilled cheese and a Canadian burger and on the other side was an even older 70's version if Chinese take out complete with moo goo gai pan and egg foo young. I asked if they had any gai lan or chinese broccoli and my host had no clue what that was. Lacking anything authentic in the Asian food department i settled with shanghai noodles, titled exactly with no added description. I asked if it included beef, broccoli, pork, chicken or anything else and my host went to ask. She said it had pork and that it was boiled and not broiled. After having beef included instead she went back in the kitchen and got in an argument with someone. In a moment a large healthy portion came to my table but the beauty was gone. Instead, the plate was certainly full if noodles and some beef but it had no carrots, no broccoli and barley some lettuce that was so small it was lost on the plate. Added to that the plate was smothered in oyster sauce. Now, i like oyster sauce but the noodles were completely degradated by so much sauce. It ruined the complexity of the noodle and made it look and taste like a lazy teenager opened up a package of frozen noodles and used all three packets of sauce for one serving. Added to this, my host never stepped out from behind her laptop to check on her 1 guest the whole time. If i have learned anything from this experience it's that there is absolutely almost nearly no place to eat (save one) that is halfway descent in Rocky Mountain House. The town reaks of giving up.

Excellent food that is not only cooked rapidly but with expertise, capturing the great taste of Chinese cuisine. The service can lack from time to time especially when busy however they make up for it with their great taste. Overall excellent for a small town family run oriental restaurant.

He has the most delicious soups and sauces in town hands down. Full of flavour and not watered down and tasteless like some of the other chinese food places in Rocky. Always quick, fresh and delicious we’re lucky to have this restaurant here.

Delicious Chinese and Western cuisine. No seating at the moment due to Covid. Take out only

It was ok, I ordered a seafood dish. I recieved something else other than scallops. Was not good at all. I got my shrimps though. Cheap with the sweet and sour sauce.

A local recommended this out of the way cafe. Currently only doing takeout. They made me a custom dinner for one that was to my expectations. The hot n sour was spicy to my satisfaction.

Made a not so healthy food choice …. But none the less … I earned a cheat day… Food was hot, fresh, and fast… such a weakness(deep fried)Chinese Food….had to tell them , to not use a lot of salt….as a couple times b4…They salted too much…Family day meal was perfect… CRAPola I should have invited the family over for dinner….. opps …..

Fried rice was good the beef and vegetable had barely any beef and was all cabbage and onions. egg rolls were inedible but the battered shrimp tasted awesome and wonton soup was great... The was no dinning in only take out which is disappointing so definitely a weird experience...
