Chinese Dim Sum Seafood

We were so disappointed with their chicken feet. The color isn’t right, the texture is firm (not falling off the bones easily). Most of the dish is layered by the firm (not soft) peanuts. Plus the price is considered premium for a person came from Toronto. $7.25 for that chicken feet is awful. The other dim sum was okay, not too impressive. Except for the congee, the congee is very good.

Rude staff particularly in the evening.

I have always enjoyed coming here for Dim Sum. It is definitely packed on a Saturday with very little social distancing, so be aware.We ordered:Steamed Chicken Feet - Our first time trying them, very good.Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf - Oddly served with lotus leaf around the edge but not actually contained inside of the leaf for you to unwrap, but still very tasty.BBQ Pork Steamed Buns - Packed with meat and abalone gravy, so good.Hong Kong Style Eggplant - Very flavourful deep fried eggplant with lots of chilies.Shrimp Shumai Dumplings - Rich and packed with shrimp and pork.Chinese Donut Crepe - Always great with the soft texture outside and crispy donut within. The peanut and soya sauces really make this a treat, but it is certainly filling!It does often take a bit of time to get your order picked up and delivered, but if you're enjoying a long visit it is no bother to you at all. Reasonably priced, as well.

Excellent service, and food was definitely authentic Chinese and tasty. I think I just discovered one of the best Chinese restaurants in Calgary!

The food was delicious but for 3 dishes it took 90 plus minutes to get our food. Obviously customer satisfaction isn't one of their main priorities. 90 minutes just for seafood fried rice. 60 plus minutes for half of a fried chicken. We will never come back to this location again.

The food is good but the service when they’re taking order for takeout is absolutely rude. It seem like im wasting their time for calling and ordering food from them. This was a guy that picked up the phone. Learn some common manners

Extremely unpleasant experience at pebble street this afternoon. The waitress by the name of Jenny was extremely rude and racist to my family and I - they denied us entry despite us providing QR codes proving that we are vaccinated. Whole experience has left a bad taste in my mouth. Racist restaurant, stay away!

Racist servers that denied me and my family access (despite us having a QR code showing we were all fully vaxxed). The owner then proceeded to insult us and demand we left the restaurant. Do not go here if you are Black or if you are anti-racist!

Had a dinner party . Great service. Excellent seafood dishes.Everyone enjoyed the food.Pricy but worth it.

Fantastic service. Authentic Dim Sum. Loved it
