Best Chinese Restaurant: Silver Dragon

Silver Dragon

Offering over 200 dishes from the heart of Calgary's Chinatown, Silver Dragon is serving up the city's best Chinese food combinations. Since 1966, this restaurant has offered authentic Cantonese and Szechuan cuisine to anyone who walked in their door. Today, you'll be greeted by friendly faces, modern decor and a familiar hum as the restaurant serves its valued customers. From their all-day dim sum menu to their tried-and-true recipes, make sure you go with an appetite so you can try more than one dish.

As of June 4th, Silver Dragon has reopened their dining room at limited capacity. COVID-19 greatly affected the restaurant and has impacted some of the ways they do things. Their dim sum carts will temporarily not be available, but instead will provide a menu that you can order from. Reservations are not needed but are recommended as the restaurant is currently only allowed to seat six people per table as per government regulations. Orders will be made fresh and brought directly to your table from the kitchen, ready to be devoured.

You can support Silver Dragon by stopping in and enjoying their dine-in service while also supporting the surrounding local businesses. This restaurant has been in the neighbourhood for decades, so they greatly appreciate their loyal customers and nearby neighbours. This go-to Chinese food restaurant also offers delivery and pickup options should you choose to enjoy your food somewhere else.
