Asian Connection in St. Albert

Lovely atmosphere, great service, and amazing food!

Was there last nite, what has happened to this restaurant. Tables werent clean. Glasses had lip marks. Bugs in the green tea. Wont be back.

Pretty good, the best Chinese food Ive had in St. Albert.

We had the dinner for four take out and it was AMAZING! The ginger beef was super delicious and overall the dinner items were all so flavourful! Kudos to the chef on the Stanley cup night!

One of the worst Chinese restaurants Ive ever been to. How do you screw up rice and ginger beef? Heard it was better before the new owners.

Been coming here since I was a kid. No one has ever beat their fish sauce and amazing taste of food.my to go is normally the Wor Wonton,mild ginger beef ,spring rolls,dumplings and last but not least the shrimp chow mein. Its always perfect to me.if you want great food. You got to eat here! Edit: since it has changed owners it was still good in the start but now the quality has changed in the food and sadly my family has had some dirty dishes that our food was placed into . Though the staff is friendly.

Large order ($400) for work, good quantity, good pricing.

We have been customers of the Asian Connection for over thirty years. It had always been our go-to place for Chinese menu items, eat in, delivery and take out. Over the last few months our experiences have been very poor. The food has gotten bland and not worthy of their long standing reputation. Could it be that there is new ownership? We will be looking for a new place to take our business.

Overall, quite decent. Lots of food

Great food

The food is fantastic and you get a lot for the price.

Last good Chinese restaurant in st albert

Incredible food. I docked a star as they are needing Asian music and a sign telling you to seat yourself. Its confusing when you first come here. The food is incredible, it feels homemade. Our server was very helpful and friendly. Take out is busy so give lots of time in advance to pick it up. It would be nice to offer people a free drink while they wait for their pick up. And to have a designated spot for the food pick up services. They were rudely sitting them selves in customers tables and talking on their phones loudly. Maybe a bench down the hallway where the bathrooms are. I recommend this place for sure.

Not overly impressed with the beef and vegetables and chicken Chow mein that we ordered

Very nice environment. Well done on the food and quite enjoyable place to eat and converse.

Had to send back the ginger beef as it was so tough. Second order was the same, so we left it. The vegetable chow mein noodles was tasteless. Some blanched noodles with veggies and sauce poured on top. Usually this dish is sauteed and its flavorful. The crush almond chicken had a very thick batter and was not crispy. I asked the server if I could speak to Wil who is the owner and does most of the cooking there. He said that Wil retired and it is a different owner. But the same person is still cooking here. I questioned that as the food no longer resembles what I have had there for the many years of coming here. I wont be back.

We ordered delivery on their busiest day of the year. Food was delivered the exact time they said. We were missing the lemon sauce for lemon chicken (they are human) it was at my house within 10 minutes. The food was absolutely delicious, great portions. I highly recommend Asian Connection.

The spring rolls were cold. Ordered one item, got something different. Seems like quality of food has gone downhill. Maybe new owners?

Please dont waste your money at this restaurant. The food was tasteless and the service was awful. We had to ask for cutlery, napkins and plates.

Great Chinese food, but a little expensive.

Always fresh and delicious. We have friends from Morinville who like to come here as well because its so yummy

Great dishes, food party in your mouth. High quality ingredients. Our go to since we moved here a few years ago.

Great food, we had the dinner for four. The waitress was very friendly and attentive.

Pretty good food. There seemed to be an argument with a door dash driver which ruined our Zen a bit.

Server is very nice and very accommodating. The place is clean and tidy. Would come back and dine again.

We ordered the satay beef chow mein and peppercorn chicken. Both were delicious and had good wok hei . The service was great. Super friendly and attentive staff. Definitely can t wait to return.

Been coming here for years, best Chinese food in St.Albert. We always have amazing service weather we dine in or take-out.

Called for pickup. Arrived to get my order and they said they cancelled it in a rude manner without contacting me at all half hour before they even closed. Absolutely terrible customer service!

Ordered

Excellent tasting food, the staff are very friendly and food came out fast !

Great food and the service is outstanding.

Food was flavour less will not order from here again

Ordered takeout. We found the the black bean and kung pow sauces were much too watery. We also didn t care for the large chunks of chicken in the chow mein. It looked like not enough care was taken when preparing. The ginger beef was veey good. Overall rating would be 6 out of 10. Probably will order from there again

Really surprised by how great it was! Lots of options too.

Yum! Quick service tasty food. Our go to in town. Staff are very friendly

Everything we ordered was very good, pleasant staff.

This is one of the worst place in St Alberts I just got hung up on and said call another restaurant. I call to ask what do you recommend for low carbs and the person could not understand and said they dont serve that. Its a restaurant clearly if you are in business you should have someone who comprehends English. I then went to Google to translate and they still refuse to take my order. Unprofessional and disgusted! I will deff go somewhere else!

Great service from freindly staff. Food is standard Chinese food. We had Wonton soup, spring rolls, veg chow mein, almond chicken, and beef and broccoli. All decent with good portions.

We ve been going here for over 15 yrs, for dine in and take out and we always love it! Great food and great service

This was some of the most bland and tasteless Chinese food Ive ever had. Just ordered through skip the dishes and Ill never order from here again.

We have been going to Asian Connection for 40 years. Excellent food and always stays the same!! We have never been disappointed!!

Today was my first time eating at the Asian Connection but it sure wont be my last. The staff were friendly and efficient, the food was piping hot, fresh, and delicious. Honestly the best western chinese food I have ever eaten.

A shout out to Wil last night for providing us with some awesome takeout for New Years Eve. Happy New Year.

Great food

Amazing food!!! Awesome staff!

We had a big order; there were 8 of us. We ordered in advance. Food was delivered at the exact right time and tasted truly fresh off the stove! We will definitely order from here more often! Sorry forgot to take pictures, we were too busy eating! Delicious!

For a nice home town restaurant it is wonderful. Great service they do serve the large egg roll in classic deep fried tradition. The Wor wonton soup is good and served hot. This place really feels like the classic Canadian Chinese restaurant I remember. I will be back to try more.

We had a great experience last night. We ve been a few times before but food was very fresh and tasty and good amount. Prices are increasing all over but it was a good treat. We ordered 2 combo plates w wonton soup and they didn t disappoint at all.

Awesome food and great staff. There was 6 of us and we had a great experience

Most tasteless food Ive seen. Previous meals were okay, not sure what the problem was. Probably not going to risk it again.

We have ordered from this restaurant for years, mostly consistent in quality

We ordered from Asian Connection for the first time ever today. The food tasted great, came in good sized portions, was cooked well, and looked great. We will definitely be going back. And they had many gluten-free options. Recommended!

Amazing food and great portion sizes/value!! Youll definitely get bang for your buck here and the staff went out of their way to make our experience fun and memorable. Definitely recommending anyone in the area to go here!

5 star!! this Asian restaurant was sooooo good! Charming decor and very clean! Wonderful friendly service and super excellent food !!! We had the lunch special ginger beef was delicious! Thankyou really enjoyed!

The food was sooo good! Huge portions. Staff were friendly and helpful. Reasonable prices. Highly recommend!

I saw a lot of great reviews so I decided I would try it the lemon chicken was mediocre at best and unfortunately the fried rice was white rice literally not fried at all. The beef and black bean was very good I do like a lot of onion so it was nice for me might not be if you don t. The prices were out of this world really high three dishes was over $55. I think I d pass next time I ll try something different unfortunate because it looked great online.

Everytime I go here I get awesome food and service! My favorite Asian food in the city!

Ive been ordering from here for years and its always great.

This was our go to place to get Chinese food growing up. Theyve had consistently good food for many years and I always like coming here when Im back in town. I usually get Szechuan beef, lemon chicken, fried rice, and cashew chicken which are all great!

Came for lunch, food was great, service was great, staff really helped to meet the parties food restrictions, I has satay beef with vermicelli. Parking: Part or a greater strip mall beside Safeway

The worst Chinese food I have ever tasted. Poor quality, greasy, fishy, over salted/too much msg, overpriced and small portions. I would not even feed this slop to my dog or my worst enemy...totally disgusting. The owners/cooks should be ashamed of themselves. How this place stays in business is a shock to me.

The Hot Pots are SOO DELICIOUS!!!! My mom and I loved it so much we ate every last bit even though we were very full. So impressed.

The man who helped me was very kind and chatty, dont let them scam you out of your hard earned cash. When I got home I was surprised how bland my chow mein was, the lemongrass chicken was way more onion and green pepper than chicken. I paid over $18 for a shrimp with vegetables and was presented with a ton of veggies but not enough shrimp. Look up Chinese recipes online and make it at home, its got to be cheaper than paying $57 bucks for fried veggies and scanty meat. In the end I had no appetite for it and threw the leftovers away. Waste of $57. Going to another Chinese spot close by weeks ago, I found the same thing there. Tons and tons of veggies but scanty meat. Very disappointing. I feel completely scammed.

Asian connect no no no, more like Asian disconnection. Please change the fried rice recipe and egg rolls. Theyre one of the worst Ive had in a long time, also cut back on the ginger in the ginger beef...not impressed. The delivery driver was cool though hence the 1 star.

Good smaller portions

Ordered food for delivery tonight. They said they were very busy and would be an hour, no problem. We told them explicitly a peanut allergy. When food came we began eating and friend had an allergic reaction. Called back and they said their excuse was they were busy. Absolutely unacceptable.

They were already charging a premium price and now prices are about 15% higher !! Inflation isnt even that . Save you one amd go to a buffet instead. Dont deal with places trying to rip people off of their hard earned money.

Shrimp rice was fantastic, wonton soup and egg rolls were also good. Dont order the boneless pork as it is tough.

Missing an item and small portions. Usually order from here. Order from here a few times a year. First time there was an issue.

Great Chinese food place in St Albert. I have tried most of their noodle dishes, nothing but good things to say. I love their spring rolls the most. Its not vegetable and the filling is actually filled.

We picked up take out, got it home and realized they missed a sauce. They came out to us right away. Amazing service and great food!!!

Amazing food! Steven was a great server!

Great Customer Service love the Food

If I could give this place a 0 star, I would. I was trying to place an order over the phone and the guy seemed so rushed that he was dismissive of my questions. He told me to go order Chinese food at Chinatown instead. Then, I continued to speak and he just said ok bye and hung up. That is not the right way to ever treat a customer. VERY RUDE!

Really disappointed in food, service, and overall just a very poorly ran establishment. Pretty sure my food was microwaved or at least tasted like it. You can get better Chinese food to go at Safeway, and for half the price.

My family and I have been going here for years and it is amazing. The food is great, the staff is friendly and we are always treated well. Do yourselves a favour and treat yourself to the best restaurant in St. Albert.

Won ton was good the rest so so

Always great

Good food. Nice people. Had take out.

I don t know how this place doesn t get better reviews! I absolutely love this spot. I ve been going here for lunch for years. Their vermicelli bowls are delicious. The service is great and quick. Clean and simple little restaurant. We love it!

Good food. Good value

Great food & even better service! Would recommend to all my friends :) Thanks Steven!

Love their wonton soup!!!

Food is good but pricey. When youre paying top dollar for Chinese food youd expect to receive fortune cookies.... but they charge for these too. Family has ordered here for years but they appear to have gotten greedy. EDIT: Having ordered again the experience has vastly improved. The food is fresh and well portioned and the value for your dollar is great.... and fortune cookies are now included with all meals. Happily changing my previous review to a five-star rating.

Consistently good food! Our go to for Chinese the last six years and it s been delicious every time! My only complaint is all the onions haha but I can deal because even with them the quantity and quality is A+. The staff/delivery guys are always really pleasant, even when we are those jerks ordering late. We won t order Chinese anywhere else at this point!

My favourite spot in St. Albert for our family! Such amazing staff and always delicious food.

Really good so far. Gotta try a few more dishes.

Awesome food and great service! A st. Albert classic

A friend introduced me to this location. Was pretty impressed with the food quality since Ive been to many Asian restaurants that overcharge for bland tasting food. Was a big fan of their Green Onion Cakes and Chow Mein Noodles. Its not a place I would visit frequently, but it is the place I first consider when Im wanting Asian food. Its a step above most of the other places I know!

We tried this place tonight based on many recommendations from the community. I AM SO GLAD WE DID!!! We stopped to grab take out on our way home. The staff is amazing! So friendly and courteous, prompt service. Helped me get the doors as my hands were full helped guide my 2 year old who was walking out to the sidewalk. I was impressed with their customer service skills super great people! Hubby had a wonderful conversation with the cook and owners(possibly) while he was ordering. Really enjoyed our brief visit in there. Next time we may eat in! We got our order in and was on our way home very quickly too! The food was soo delicious I ate way to much Haha!!! I was surprised at how delicous their beef and broccoli tasted. I dont usually like the sauce it comes in but this one had me going back for more! The food we got (except the rice). Was in reusable containers! *bonus pts for that!* Pricing is quite average with other Chinese take out restaurants we have ordered from. We will definitely be coming back here for more soon!! Thanks to all the staff who worked tonight! Food was delicious! Service was even better! From Ron and family!

Good food and great service. Their lemon chicken is delicious!!!

Great food amazing portions and service when we dine in

Terribly overcooked ginger beef sweet and sour pork. Mall food court is better.

Good dumplings, better sauce.

Love it!

My favorite & go to place to eat in St. Albert

So disappointed..Dont order Chop Suey as all their version is , is a tub full of bean sprouts. Will not be eating here again. Small portions too...

Good food good service friendly

food has no flavor but services is good.

Absolutely disappointing! Slimy tasteless food. Not good quality.

Excellent food

Good food

Soup was lousey, artificial flavour

Food and service were both great. Had the deep fried shrimp, chicken balls, beef and broccoli, and the special chow mein, egg roll, and green onion cakes. I LOVE Chinese food and have eaten at a lot of different places, and this place was by far the best in flavor and portion sizes. My only complaint is the green onion cakes werent great, they are the pancake type style. Overall, really nice on the inside and food was great. Will definitely make the 30 min drive to come here whenever I want Chinese food.

Food is good, service is friendly and good dollar value. Have been ordering from here for years.

A favorite of my father in law s. I was very happy with the service. The servers both had good energy and were pleasant to interact with. Food came quickly, was nice and hot, and had good flavor. Stop by for a visit.

This is one of my favourite places to eat, and I ve been going here for over 7 years and never had a bad meal. Everyone is always so friendly and the food comes out hot and fresh!

Dont get the Combo takeout .... TINY Portions !!...They shoved slimy tough tasteless beef and greens in corner of container with the rice. Containers were MOSTLY no flavour ...no chicken... fried rice for both combos.Who puts sides together with the rice ? I guess when youre cheap and want to disguise the amount!!! Ribs fat and bone.Doughy wontons fake broth ughhhhhh

Great food and always very friendly staff.

Food was supposed to be 4 stars...if you like food from the food court. I am sure only white people with no taste est here.

Food was horrible. Fryer has old oil.

Great, attentive service.

Great food

I read some of these reviews and laughed! Best service, best food, great prices, clean...what more could you ask for. I bring in large groups of 10 plus people or just myself and its always been great. Some people in St. Albert are just the nit pickiest people ever!

My favorite Asian food for the last 8 years large portions excellent staff clean dining area and very quick to deliver, 6 person dinner usually ready for pick up in 15min

I have ordered from this restaurant for 20 yrs now and have never been disappointed. Excellent food and once I locked my keys in my vehicle while picking up food. The owner gave me a ride home to deliver the food to my family, picked up my spare set of keys, and then brought me back to my vehicle.

Awesome food! Fast and easy for pick up!

Pretty good Asian food. Love their ginger beef! Unfortunately, I find their prices a little higher than Id expect.

Disgusting food

Excellent food, large portions and great service. The sever helped me to modify my order to get what I wanted for a better price.

Fresh and full of flavour! Ordered the ginger beef, beef & greens, chicken fried rice & pineapple chicken tonight. Everything was delicious and delivered quickly!

the best

i ordered several items from chicken balls to honey garlic ribs, chop suey, cantonese chow mein, all the food we got was bland at best and over cooked. not sure if the chef even knows how to cook this kind of food . will not go there again total disapppointment

The ginger beef (schezuan Beef) is really good and my personal favorite. Also we like the fried rice, spring rolls and Lemon Chicken, I am not the biggest fan of the Lemon Chicken but the rest of my family like it. They could use less coating and more chicken in my opinion it depends what you like. Snow Peas and mushrooms are great in season as well. We have been eating in and taking out for years since we are local and yes you can hit better days than others for some things but overall the consistency is pretty good.

Service and food has been consistent since weve been coming here for about a year. We usually get combo plates, and have enjoyed the wonton soup, sweet and sour pork, and lemon chicken.

They have fantastic food. Always, hot & fresh with good customer service for both dine in and take out. My fav Chinese food restaurant in St Albert.

Very tasty authentic Chinese food and great service!

Its my favourite Chinese restaurant. Flavourful, fresh, and not greasy.

This place is brutal. I am someone who can put up with a lot at restaurants and gives them the benefit of the doubt. I do not like to complain, but this was appalling. The food was not good at all. The Ginger Beef was about 95% mushroom and 2% beef with like 3% onion. It didnt even taste gingery and was not deep fried, which does not bother me but it is what is expected. EVERYTHING, including the rice, had chop suey in it...so it was a waste of money to pay for an additional chop suey meal. The lemon chicken was pasty and had a lot of doughy on it. The doughy was very much so undercooked and seemed like it was a day old. I tried an egg chunk in the fried rice, and it tasted so bad...who screws up egg? The fried rice itself was not even fried and did not taste good. The shanghai noodles were bad and also had chop suey in it. All around the food sucked. What should have tipped me off is that when I called to order it, they said it would be ready in 15 minutes...so does that mean it just sits in a warmer, because most places say 30 minutes. On top of it, the service was terrible. On the menu they say if you pick up on orders over $30 there is a 10% discount; they fail to say it is only applied when payed with cash. But yet EVERY OTHER Chinese food place applies it to ALL payment methods. On top of it, the debit machine automatically gives them a 15% tip...for what? We called to ask them about the discount and such and they HUNG UP ON US! I will NEVER EVER EVER go there again. TL; DR - Do NOT eat here. It is not worth your money, time, or empty stomach.
