Dim Sum in Calgary

[LIP MAN]

Hey guys, just wondering if there's a good recommendation for Dim Sum, other than Silver Dragon or the place in Pacific Place mall. I would prefer the cart style, rather than Hong Kong style. Once again thanks!

Chinese Cultural Center was always good

[Five-hole]

U and Me on 3rd is good.

[Byrns]

I like the Central Grand.

[Akai-Sesui]

The place at Mcknight and Centre is exceptional.

[Dorkmaster]

U and Me is very good.
Cultural center is pretty good.
The one in T&T is pretty good, but expensive.

I'll second Central Grand on 16th and Centre.

We prefer the Regency Palace, if for no other reason than it's the only place we've found in Calgary that has good dofu fa. You have to self-serve yourself the most high-volume items and then the rest come around on carts, and then there's a separate bar for fried goodies and steamed veggies.

Pine Lake - on 5th ave across from the new Bow building.

Ho Won has good dofu fa.

I found the hot pot at Regency Palace is horrible.

Does this place have a name?

[SeeBass]

^^I think it is called Golden Central

[VladtheImpaler]

Third for Central Grand at Centre and 16th - I go there at least once a week, for ... 10
years now... Stick to seafood items for best quality.

Yep, Golden Central. Dim Sum has all the standard fair, but yes...dinner is where it shines the brightest.

There's also this place called 'Magic Bowl' and it's located in Bonavista of all places. Dinner was excellent, and the Dim Sum was tasty. It's a hole in the wall though, so unless someone's brought you...chances are you've never heard of it.

There's a place on Center and... somewhere near 16th. Right next to Crystal autoglass. It's called 'TAIPAN' I believe, really good dimsum.

And Huntingwhale, I hope you were kidding when you meant BobbyChao's. I live in Edgemont so I decided to try that place out once. Horrible food. I think I could make better dim sum by defrosting a bag from t&t.

Agreed. Not the best dim sum. Is the Pho place opened yet?
