Default Golden Inn Restaurant: Flood Re-Opening – 10% Off Your Bill

After 11 weeks of blood, sweat and a lot of tears, the Golden Inn Restaurant in Chinatown is proud to finally re-open their doors since the catastrophic flood that hit Calgary on June 20, 2013. The restaurant is located a block from the Bow river and was hit pretty bad. It required renovations throughout most of the restaurant and thorough sanitation.

To celebrate the restaurants grand re-opening and 36 year anniversary, they are offering all guests 10% off the bill everyday until September 30, 2013!

The restaurant has an 88% “Like It” rating on Urbanspoon. It's renowned for its delicious Cantonese-style dishes and super-late hours. The salt and pepper squid is purported to be the best in the city.

My parents have owned the restaurant since 1977 and this is their life and passion, your support would be truly appreciated.

The family and I will make sure to hit it up!

So many memories of late night meals there after being out at the clubs.

Wow! You must be a long time regular if you know all the servers names.

Lenny's been working at the restaurant for over 30 years. All the hotties from the late night crowd love him and are always giving him hugs.

You probably have but much like my Golden Inn experiences, the only evidence is a small to-go container of chicken friend rice on the counter and a soya sauce stain on your shirt after a long night of drinking.

I personally find Golden Inn's S&P Squid overrated... always over cooked. Other than that, I like everything else I tried there.

Tried going there last week as it's relatively close to my office, but didn't realize you guys weren't open for lunch! Will need to try again for dinner sometime.

Sorry, no groupon type daily deals. I've discussed it with my parents before, but they weren't interested and haven't ran any group deals.

It doesnt make a ton of sense for any place that is well off to run such groupon deals as they take such a hit.
$25 for $50 in food typically puts $12.50 into the owners pocket while they make $50 for someone. Ive talked to a few people who have run groupons and they all regret it!

My mom told me that our family had it's first Chinese meal in Calgary at the Golden Inn when they first immigrated here to Calgary in '79. But that was before I was born... She says you guys have good congee heh.

I tried to pop by at noon earlier this week too, only to find it doesn't open for lunch

Do you guys have a lobster tank in the front entrance? If so a guy I played rugby with owes you a crustacean from about 15 yrs ago.

After a big night of drinking he woke up with a lobster in his bathtub. True story.
