Chinese cuisine
This Cantonese restaurant is a true gem! The food is absolutely delicious, with authentic flavors that transported me right back to Macau. Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. The owner was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel like valued guests. It's clear they put a lot of passion into their cooking and service. If you're looking for genuine and tasty Cantonese food, you absolutely have to try this place. Highly recommended!
Excellent restaurant. Food is amazing! Chef Pan outshines most other Chinese restaurants in the details! Duck skin is crispy, not greasy, no gaminess. Pan-fried garlic chips, crispy rice in the hot pot. Service was also great as usual! Excellent recommendations, and super friendly. 10/10 recommend!
I went to Chef Pan with my wife on Halloween. There was a big party at another table, which made the atmosphere more cheerful and festive. We chose the stir-fried beef rice noodles, which were fantastic, both of us really enjoyed it! The chef recommended the half Cantonese-style duck, which we hadn’t known could be ordered as a half portion, and we enjoyed it even more. The stir-fried bok choy was also excellent. All the dishes complemented each other beautifully. Thank you for making our day wonderful, and for the sweets offered for Halloween!
I visited in this restaurant few weeks ago with my family and friends. I'm not from China, but I missed the athentic Chinese food I had tried 15 years ago. I had grilled lamb & duck, fried garlic shrimp and barbecue chicken. The food was amazing!They were really soft and full of deep flavor. Chef Pan provides the Hongkong style Chinese cuisine, cozy atmosphere. I want to visit here again soon. I only took two pictures—maybe I was too focused on eating! Thank you, Chef Pan!
We had an amazing dining experience at Chef Pan Restaurant in Saskatchewan. The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. We tried many restaurants on the way to Banff, and this is the best restaurant from Toronto all the way to Vancouver. Whether you’re a fan of classic favorites or looking for something new, their diverse menu has something for everyone. The service was equally impressive—attentive, friendly, and efficient. The chef went above and beyond to ensure a memorable meal. I highly recommend Chef Pan Restaurant for anyone looking for top-notch food and excellent service! The chef puts a lot of efforts on making good food, very attention to details, and perfect dishes with freshness and delicious. Even my picky eater girlfriend loves every meals, would recommend to try the lamb dish.
Chef Pan was very friendly and knows his craft well. Our family of three was passing through Saskatoon and found this little Chinese restaurant tucked away in a residential area. We were impressed by the authenticity of the items on the menu and the great taste of the ones we chose. (Shunde is a district in Canton Province of Southern China, which is known for its gourmet cookings.) The owner even offered us their fantastic crafted beer!
My parents and I went here for lunch and I have to say it is the best Chinese restaurant in the city. The chicken was so juicy, sauce was delicious, the prawns had so much flavour and even the rice was melted in my mouth. I recommend this restaurant to everyone for authentic Chinese food. Chef Pan and his wife are absolutely lovely and friendly people, you can tell they put so much love into the food and make everyone feel welcome. I cannot exaggerate how much I love this restaurant.
This is the best restaurant and the most hospitatie service I have ever seen in Saksatoon. As a Chinese, If you looking for a authentic Chinese food,they are the one you should come for . Exspecially the Pan Fried Garlic Prawn with Salted Egg Yolk and Grilled Barbecue Duck,you must try. My korean husband love the Pan Fried Garlic Prawn so much. I am sure that your guys will say..OMG, SO DELICIOUS 😋.. Even only the simply Stir Fried Bok Choi ,also made me miss the taste of it after gone back to Edmonton . Already made a mind to go again this restaurant in our coming trip to Saksatoon. Highly recommended come and try their food,you will love it.
Great food. Great atmosphere. Shrimp dish was excellent. Claypot Rice was wonderful.
Excellent
Actual hidden gem restaurant of Saskatoon. Owner is cool AF, cooks some of the best Cantonese food in the city and great Chinese BBQ. Friend had a bday party here, chef brought out his special champagne for him and we took a picture together. Highly recommend.
One of my favorite places for Authentic Chinese food! I take my friends here all the time. Truly a hidden gem. The owner is very friendly and will make you feel at home. The menu is large and theres something for everyone!
The food is excellent, better than other Cantonese restaurants in the city. The owner is very welcoming. Highly recommended if you want to try Cantonese food! Yummy yummy yummy! The boss is great, come more, come more, come more! The claypot rice is highly recommended. It was delicious and I ate it so quickly that I forgot to take pictures hahh
AMAZING!! The food was so good. And fresh. Great prices. Friendly staff
Very good Chinese restaurant! The dishes are complete and delicious
The food was amazing. Chef Pan poured some of his brewed beer as a taster and it is worth trying / picking up some. We celebrated a birthday and the staff were very accommodating.
4 of us arrived to try out this apparent hidden gem for dinner and we were completely blown away! The chef came to personally greet us and upon learning we were there for the first time recommended 5 dishes for a family style meal that complimented each other perfectly. Everything was fresh and had incredible flavor, served quickly, and was generously portioned for the price. We will certainly be back
Wow, what a hidden gem!! The food here is next level, I dont know what the flavors were but every dish was beyond good! Good portions and very reasonable prices. The staff were also very helpful and knowledgeable! Very feel-good atmosphere. Went with friends and family and canr wait to go back.
Excellent dinner for a party of 9! No one left disappointed.
Best Asian authentic food I had in Saskatoon. The owner also makes his own delicious beer
Very Cosy place. Service was great the food even better. Had no idea what to order. The owner suggested a noodle dish and the salt prawn. Amazing. I will be back for more
This is the restaurant that the food come with SOUL. Remember if u like any special dish from the menu, have your reservation done by a day, so they can prepare it for you.
This restaurant was very bad, I ordered a roast duck on Monday, the duck skin was very dry and meat was rotten, I think it was cooked a week ago, but it couldnt sold,so it was frozen,then sell to me, the boss said it make at 2pm,is very fresh, but it was spoiled roast duck,this is a dishonest boss and very bad Chinese.I hope people dont go to this restaurant.
Great place to be. Chef is courteous and serves excellent food
Woow this place a gem. Real authentic Chinese food all cooked by the family from Hong Kong.
Delicious good and wonderful service by the owner.
I loved every second I was in here. The food, the service, the atmosphere, were all phenomenal. This was one of my favorite dining experiences I ve ever had. If I lived here, I would come eat here every week and bring all of my friends. This place reminded me why I love food and travel, all in the span of a dinner
Excellent food, service and vibe. My friends and I will definitely be back to try the duck
The service was excellent. The food was delicious and exceeded our expectations. We will definitely come back again. Would highly recommend! Reservations are recommended.
What a lovely little locally owned gem! We were the only ones in the restaurant and the owner was doing everything. He brought the dishes out as he made them and they were all unique and delicious. We just asked for him to recommend some things for us based on what he had available and it was perfect. Will for sure go again.
THE best Chinese Restaurant me and my family have ever been to. The food was incredible. The service I received from the owners was on a level of its own from any restaurant Ive been to, and the calming atmosphere made for the perfect lunch. I will be back and will be recommending this place to all of my friends. Much love to the owners
Tonight after the Ag in Motion 2024 show a group of us went there for dinner. The food and service was extraordinary and I would highly recommend it if youre looking for genuine Chinese cuisine. I will be back for sure!
Went for lunch with a group of friends and had a great time! We had Jasmine Tea, Rice, Pan fried prawns with salted egg yolk, BBQ beef rib, braised tofu, beef and Chinese green fried noodles, shrimp dumplings, black truffle Chinese dumplings, fried choy sum, bamboo shoots with fried beef. Everything was delicious and I cant wait for the next time we go back to try more!
Chef Pan cook every dishes with his heart
Delicious food and very friendly service!
Reminded me of family styles restaurant in the suburb of Milan, Italy....but its Chinese (Cantonese) food offered in Saskatoon, Canada!!!
Amiable staff and owner The best-fried shrimp that I ever have had in Canada Food
The food was so good that I forgot to take photos! The pan fried shrimp with salted egg is to die for, and having eaten in Vancouver and all over North America, this restaurant is truly a gem in Saskatoon. Chef Pan is such a wonderful host, offering beer he brewed himself
Really dont understand why the rating is so high. Its a small space with a shabby decoration and it feels like there is no ventilation system at all. The oil smoke from the kitchen when cooking is unbearable. The food in this restaurant is honestly not the worst, but it doesnt match the price at all. Compared with other restaurants in Saskatoon, the amount of food is very small for the same price. The waiting time is also very long. Maybe people enjoy the service more than the food. Would not recommend to anyone and will not go back again.
I really like the food in this restaurant, and the cooking skills are great!
Chef Pan and his family were friendly and hospitable. Their authentic Cantonese food was so delicious. We had the lobster dish with the bread crumbs.it was delectable with plenty of wok hei, We also had the duck and greens. Chef Pan prepares and hangs his own ducks. We ate every scrumptious morsel. The food is great! There aren t very many authentic Cantonese chefs left. Enjoy this one! Joan and Jim highly recommend them. We ll be back!
Great service and great food.
This is the best restaurant and the most hospitable service I have ever seen! You literally can order anything, because the food is super delicious. As a Chinese I can tell this is very authentic! Plz come and try, you will love it!
A wonderful dining experience!! The owners are so kind and the food was incredible. I can t say enough good things about this restaurant. I definitely will be back!
The chicken is out of this world, I cant believe Saskatoon has such an authentic Hong Kong restaurant. It was juicy and the skin was to die for. The owner is so nice and welcoming, and will make you feel at home! Highly recommended!
A very niche place. You can just tell the food was prepared with chef s soul in it. I m very surprised to find such place in Saskatoon
Literally the best meal I ve had in the city and I ve lived here for years. I ve been to Odd Couple, Odla, etc. We had about 5 dishes as a group. The lamb and razor back clams in particular was amazing.
One of the best restaurants I ve been to in Saskatoon in all my time living here since 2011. An absolute experience of a meal the flavours and textures were incredible. A hidden gem of the city and deserving of more customers.
Definitely recommended. I was told it is the best restaurant in Saskatoon. The owner is really nice and patiently explained the best sellers to us. We were here the first time and we absolutely love the roast chicken. The skin are super crispy. The chicken meat is super tender. Also I recommend book an reservations before you visit. They are super busy.
First time eating here. Don t let the humble atmosphere turn you off. Chef Pan loves food and is an excellent chef. The food is authentic Chinese food so don t expect sweet and sour pork. BBQ duck is his specialty. It was excellent. Everything was tasty and interesting. Even the simple veg stir fry was perfect. There is a lot of items on the menu and some dishes I was not sure what they were. I recommend looking at the online menu and do a bit of research first. We will come back to this place again and explore the menu. There were some exotic items that look interesting to try
The food was delicious and authentic. The restaurant is tiny. Chef Pan does all the cooking himself and called his wife and daughter in to help because he had three tables last Friday night - I felt like a guest in his home. Im glad we finally stopped in this neighbourhood gem. We will be back!
My wife and I stopped in on New Years Eve as we were passing by and thought wed try this cute hidden restaurant --- were so glad we did! We werent that familiar with traditional Chinese cuisine but the owner was very helpful with ordering. We had the stir-fried razor clam with black bean sauce, the beef and Chinese greens fried noodles, and brown sugar milk teas. Everything was so delicious! The chef/owner even came out to ask how we were enjoying the food. Well be back to try more of the menu and cant recommend it enough :)
Brilliant food - great range of dishes and diverse flavours. We dined-in and took the suggestions of the chef and it was amazing
Saskatoon s hidden gem! A great dining experience - the chef took us through his recommendations and what he produced was amazing. Lots of specialty dishes that are unique and full of flavour.
A portion of Oyster King Cured Sauce Claypot Rice evokes the taste of Lao Guang. Japanese dry oyster king, duck liver sausage and white oil sausage mixed together in cured clay pot rice. The rice is fragrant, and the burnt rice grains at the bottom of the pot are crispy and have the aroma of cured oil. It s a must-have! Jiangdong sesame-flavored hand-shredded salt-baked chicken, the taste of hometown for everyone. Its full of salt-baked flavor and has a strong salty flavor. Its delicious when paired with white rice . The chicken is not raw and very tender, my personal favorite Pan Xiaochu s private kitchen has guaranteed quality and full flavor. As a wanderer who has not returned home for many years, I feel homesickness that is indescribable. A bowl of claypot rice full of hometown flavor is like the ecstasy rice in The God of Cookery, which is deeply emotional. This is the first time I have tried dishes in Chef Pan. New renovation gives you a bright and clean dine-in area, comfortable atmosphere to enjoy food. Chef Pan bringing me the Taste of Home. As a decent Cantonese food lover, I finally can enjoy Cantonese Potty Rice again. I have not going back to Canton over 8 years, this pot of rice brings me the flavor of hometown. Rice contains those sausages flavors and full of different texture. Top part of rice absorb all juicy and fatty oil, the bottom part has cook perfectly crunchy and crispy. This is why Cantonese Foodies love Potty Rice. The Salty Hand-splited Chicken is my personal favorite dish, salt stimulated chicken flavor be stronger, somehow , it keeps juice taste not dry. The top Chinese food in town.
Every dish is delicious! The boss is very nice! The best Chinese restaurant in Satun
Best Cantonese food in town!!! The staff is very nice and friendly. Is clean and the food taste so good!!! Recommended dishes Grilled Barbecue Duck, After Mixed
The boss is super friendly. The food is delicious. Will try dine in next time.
Food is absolutely delicious and the owners are just lovely, friendly people. One of our favs :)
The private dishes cooked by the boss himself are amazing!
The taste is authentic, the ingredients are exquisite, the environment is warm, and it feels like home.
Everything was delicious
This is a Chinese restaurant, authentic Cantonese cuisine, the owner love food, hospitality, excellent cooking! Perfect to make traditional Cantonese cuisine style, dishes and ingredients are very demanding. Almost every dish is a specialty. You must come and taste it for yourself to know the difference. Clay Pot rice, salt baked chicken, roast chicken, old fire soup can make you......
Best Chinese restaurant in Saskatoon. Highly recommend the salted egg yolk prawns.
So delicious, highly recommend!! The owner and staff are so nice, they make you feel comfortable like home. We will always go back 5 plus!!
This restaurant has authentic Cantonese foods. The foods are super tasty and the chef is very friendly. Highly recommend!
Amazing! So tasty - we stopped in for lunch - shared won ton soup and beef noodles. Chef Joe - very friendly - kind Hidden gem! If word got out - would never get a chance to eat there - - too busy!!!!! as so great!
Staff were friendly and courteous, but didnt do anything about an extremely loud group sitting at a large table. Food was nothing to write home about. Vegetarian options were supposed to have tofu, but it seems they had run out. Communication was not the best, and made harder by the loud group. Vegetarian options: No vegetarian protein.
I loved there foods it s so amazing
The food is delicious and the service is excellent. One of my favorites.
Enjoyed a Chinese set dinner for the four of us. The meal was enjoyable and the familiar dishes were well made. My familys tummies were satisfied, and Id encourage everyone to visit this restaurant and eat some of their delectable fare. Apart from this, I enjoyed Scallops with Garlic and Beef that we ordered, which were all delicious. Service is wonderful. All in all everything is great.
I have been meaning to try this place. My friends and I went. Amazing service and incredible Cantonese food. The owner is so excited about his food and I ready to go back tomorrow. Everything I had was delicious.
Fresh and delicious food Best roasted duck in the city Food
Very good Chinese food.
Great location, awesome food! We have expected their beer is also above all else. This is an awesome Chinese restaurant. I would recommend it to my friends as well.
It was a very good experience! Chef Pan is very hands on and his dishes are great. Would be back with family and friends.
Hands down best Chinese food in Saskatoon!! So delighted to discover this restaurant, all the foods are delicious and Chef Pan is awesome :)
Best Chinese food in Saskatoon! The food is very authentic and delicious. We have been there twice trying different things on the menu. Every dish is so good! The chief is also very friendly. Highly recommend. If you wanna try some real Cantonese/Chinese food, you must come here!
Excellent variety of authentic foods with exceptional service! Kid-friendliness: Highchairs, no change tables. Oh well! Food : 5/5 |
My favorite is roast duck with whiskey!
Food was great and the service was fantastic. The owner made great suggestions for us from the menu. We will definitely be back again to try other dishes.
Absolutely delicious. 10 out of 5 stars. Hong Kong style. Intimate and relaxing.

An amazing variety of Chinese dishes from BBQ to Cantonese specialties! Wonderful service and a friendly atmosphere. Would dine again, highly recommend!!
Friendly service, a nice atmosphere, and good food. I tried the soup they made and the prawns and they are awesome I felt like I was back in my hometown.
Very nice place Good for students
Had Shrimp wonton and BBQ duck, it was amazing. I believe it is the best duck dishes in the whole province of Saskatchewan. The owner was from Macao, he was very nice. Proud of Macanese people, I will certainly go and eat regularly, keep the great work.
Legit. Delicious dishes and their BBQ duck is best weve had in town. My family had lunch there, then we ordered pick up a day later since it was so good. They also have daily authentic Chinese soups. Family run resturant, very friendly and inviting. Will be back again.
Very good atmosphere and family energy, chef is welcoming and friendly - would recommend for a nice comforting lunch
Highly recommend! Very delicious and traditional Cantonese dishes. Chef is super nice and desert is unbeatable. The best Cantonese restaurant in town ever!
A real hidden gem in the neighborhood. To describe the wonderful dining experience, I have to compare it to a Michelin restaurant. Its not simply delicious food because the delicate flavour, master-crafted seasoning, and precise control of heating and timing makes it a must vist genuine Cantonese restaurant. Totally forget to take photos...
My husband and I got adventurous and went to try this new restaurant. Glad we discovered it! Best Cantonese food we ve had so far in town. Very authentic! The BBQ pork is soooo good! So are the other dishes we ordered. There re many good dishes on their menu that make us want to go back. It ll be our new go to place in town!
The best Cantonese food you can have in the town!!
Such a cute little place, the chef was really friendly and helpful. Went for lunch and recommend if you do that that you call first so you can order the main dishes ahead of time as some take an hour or more to prepare! Id never heard of the place but found it hunting on Google and didnt realize that til we got there. The dishes we had were all good, so Ill definitely go back again to try more things!
Food is amazing, and so is the customer service! Really loved the atmosphere, thank you for the great experience chef :D
Food was 10/10!!!
Highly recommend. Lovely special chicken dish!
Very authentic Kantonese food, I was shocked by the taste. They are such nice guys and share us homemade beer. Highly recommanded!
Great food!!
Best Cantonese food in Saskatoon. Amazing taste even though I had take out.
Yummy food!
