I'm so glad I came here! The service was amazing and the waitress was incredibly attentive, and even though we got the dinner for two, chicken shanghai fried noodles, spring rolls, and chicken noodle soup, the wait for our food was only about fifteen minutes, and when it arrived at our table, it was hot and tasty! When you think "Great Chinese food", this is the place that should come to mind! The restaurant and bathroom were also impressively clean so no complaints there either! I honestly can't even believe people have had bad experiences here- I'll be convincing my family to dine here every chance I get!

Ordered from this restaurant on Skip. The food was very tasty, fresh, and large portions for the price. Combo for one is enough for two meals for me. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Fantastic! Literally the best Chinese food in town... Finally! The Egg fried rice, s&s pork is amazing as well as the ginger beef. The shrimp fried noodle was one of the best dishes we have ever had. Such friendly staff, this is the only place that I will order Chinese food from. Amazing!

Family owned Chinese restaurant that serves amazing food. From outside it looks ordinary, but ginger beef they have tastes so good! Tastes just original made in Calgary. Dine in or take out, both are superb. The owners are friendly and food is reasonably priced. My go-to Chinese in airdrie.

The food was so colorful and beautiful. The dumplings were by far the best I've ever had. The ginger beef and sweet and sour chicken were both incredible! Even the fried rice has so much flavor, I didn't even need soy sauce. A definite new favorite!

Upon entering this establishment, I can hear the roar of the gas wok burners, a place that super heats their woks, OMGOSH. Ordered an assortment of Chinese dishes, the BEST was the Yang Zouh Fried Rice (sorry for butchering the name). By super heating the woks, the fried rice has WONDERFUL TASTY Char bites, and the odor was amazing. This place knows how to make proper fried rice. THANK YOU.

Absolutely *fantastic* food. Such nice people. Always so friendly, confirm your order, quick to help. Call them to order and it costs a lot less than ordering online or through an app (because they dont have to pay skip or Uber).

We have been ordering food from this restaurant since we moved to Airdrie 2 years ago and we were happy every time. Sadly, yesterday we were disappointed with our order,the salt and pepper squid and lemon chicken has very thick breading , it s just like eating fried dough. It s still sitting in the fridge and might end up in the garbage .

I hate to give such a bad review on anything or any where but this was terrible! Every single dish we could not eat. Money is so tough for us, and a treat for dinner so rare. It wasnt fresh, re heated, no taste, and I was sad and am making a sandwich now as Im starving

Not the best Western Chinese weve had, but much better than most of the Chinese cuisine we have in Airdrie. Staff are nice too.

December 21, 2023

I purchased $150.00 in Chinese food..this has been our families go to place since it opened. I always give our local businesses several chances and at first it was amazing and next time as well but as they grew in popularity the food went down hill Again I prefer to order locally so last night I did just that ordering over $150.00..came home opened our food and most of the dishes has a huge amount of veggies which yes is good but when you order a dish which should have meat and all you get is four small pieces its does get annoying.. One dish as an example was the beef with pepper sauce and it should be called veggies with pepper sauce.. long story short I was very disappointed and will not be going back or recommending the place..

We ordered the dinner for 6. It was ready on time, the food was freshly made, and by far, the best Chinese food weve had in over 20 years in Airdrie.

Noticed this place was fairly new, as we usually drive to Calgary for Chinese food because the Airdrie locations are usually mediocre. This place was a great surprise though. All the food was neatly packed in the containers without sauce spilling anywhere, and tasted great. Definitely recommend: Salt and pepper zucchini, its like salt and pepper chicken or shrimp but with zucchini instead. Yangzhou fried rice was great. Ginger beef is my bfs favorite and he liked it, so got his approval as well. Their wonton soup broth has the right flavor profile I like too. Definitely going to try other things from there next time I order, hopefully soon. Tip for leftovers: use a wok or skillet and just put a little oil in after preheating - then give your food a quick stir fry for a couple minutes to reheat just as good as the day you got it.

I ordered deep fried chicken wings and salt and pepper squid from Ginger Chicken, it was really fresh and delicious. I will definitely come back next time.

Disappointed, was quick, lots of food, sweet and sour pork had no sweet and sour sauce, so it was pork, fired rice was ok, but was just rice, a bit of chicken, egg and 3 or 4 peas.

I have to be honest... I was expecting alot more based on some amazing reviews. However, I have to say Im really disappointed. Chicken balls were blah, 20%meat if that, to 80% batter, wish I took a picture but we were starving. Kids ate most of them not knowing any different. Everything didnt really have the flavors we are used to and love. It wasnt horrible but more blah. Nothing to rave about. Weve had way better. We are first timers and sadly we wont be back.

December 21, 2022

Ordered on Skip the Dishes, missing 2 out 5 items. When we called the phone number, no one answered. The food we did get was horrible and bland. The beef satay soup had absolutely no flavor, the satay chicken Shanghai noodles had no spice, very salty and was almost 100% noodles, very little meat. The BBQ platter again was very bland and flavorless. I was really looking forward to this experience, but it was an extreme disappointment.

Portion sizes were amazing for the price, but thats pretty much it. I found the food to not have very much flavor. We were looking forward to trying this place, but were left feeling disappointed.

December 21, 2022

Maybe our expectations are too lofty, but honestly this was barely edible. We are what we needed to eat to fill out bellies and have thrown the rest out. 1. Something we are eating has a weird after taste. We think it might be the dumplings. 2. The Chicken Chow Mein has like 4 tiny pieces of chicken and lots of cheap noodles with Soy sauce all over it. No token veggies at all. Normally there is something other than just chicken and cheap noodles. Its also normally my favorite dish, but I had only a little bit and couldnt stomach more. 3. The Ginger beef was hard as a rock. We had a few bites and even the kids didnt want it and thats normally their favorite dish. Worst ginger beef on record to be honest. 4. No sauce in the Ginger Beef nor the Sweet n Sour pork. Regardless they tastw like nothing. 5. And for the sprinkle of the positive. The location looked clean, the server was polite when we arrived to pick up and the Beef n Broccoli was nice enough. Anyway worst Chinese food we have tasted in Airdrie so far and this is scary since its also the highest rated when we chose it. Ps. Photo is from tonight. Take aways are: all the ginger beer and the Chow mein remain. Most of the Sweet n Sour too. Of those 3 nothing should remain.

First and not the last time ordering. My husband and I are new to the area. After a long week I suggested Ginger Chicken. We ordered over the phone directly to the restaurant, very nice staff. The food was outstanding. Fresh! And tasty...I have not had good Chinese food like this in a long time. You wont be disappointed. We ordered the sweet and sour pork, szechuan chicken, shrimp dumplings and satay chicken egg noodle which is a chow mein style noodle. They have 3 kinds of noodle style available. Our order could have served 4 people easily. I did read other reviews which were less stars and looking at the pictures of their food I agree their meal didnt look appetizing, but I guess the night we ordered (Thursday) was a good night to order out. Hoping this continues each time we order. :)

This was honestly terrible. The ginger beef was hard and was 90% breading, actually not sure if there was any beef inside. I took one bite of the noodles and spit it out because it tasted like chicken that has gone bad. Everything is going in the garbage. Dont waste your money.

December 21, 2022

Ive had food from Ginger Chicken a few times now. It is the best western-style Chinese restaurant in Airdrie. The food isnt greasy and is flavourful. Too much zucchini for me but that is my personal preference. The portion sizes are more than adequate. The front staff is always friendly. When I want western-style Chinese, this is my go-to.
