Toi Shan Restaurant

Been quite a regular here for last several years and it’s the best Chinese food in the SW Westbrook/​Signal Hill area. Their ginger squid is one of the best in the city. Chow mein can be a bit better though… seems that there are a lot of sprouts vs. Noodles.
Overall, definitely recommend this place

Fantastic Chinese food. It’s a typical small Chinese place, fairly generic décor, but don’t be fooled; the food is great and the price is good. Service is quick and courteous. The fried rice with shrimp is very tasty and the sweet and sour pork has some tang. Highly impressed.

Prototypical Canadian Chinese restaurant, albeit with incongruent, large format urban view photos from IKEA on the walls. Maybe a dozen tables for dine-​in, but they seem to do a brisk take out business. Generous portions served piled high onto small, thick white oval dishes which test your manual dexterity to not lose the contents in a food avalanche. Had the Mandarin combination hot plate, and the Szechuan noodles. The hot plate was pretty good, with large pieces of juicy chicken, BBQ pork and shrimp, and a somewhat spicy, well seasoned sauce. The rice bucket was more than adequate for two of us. The Szechuan noodles on the hand were not spicy at all, as one might expect… they were really just Shanghai noodles by another name. The food came out fast, and the tea was late but remarkably good.

Just not exactly sure about how to grade this place. The sweet and sour pork was better than i expected from this suburban chinese resto, and it’s your typical hole-​in-​the-​wall.
didn’t like the presentation, esp. when they brought out the soup bowl, just slushing around everywhere by the time it reached the table, and dripping on the sides. yup… not a repeat!
free parking.

Had NYE’s take out here. The food was the best Chinese food I have had since being in Calgary. It was incredibly busy. While waiting for our takeout, we got to see many dishes being delivered to the restaurant patrons. They all looked and smelled amazing. The only reason I do not give this a 5 is that the inside of the restaurant is nothing spectacular. If you’re only interested in it for the food and not the ambiance this is well worth the trip there. Despite being incredibly busy, the staff were tremendous. Food came out quickly and the staff all maintained a very friendly demeanor

Possibly Calgary’s best kept Chinese food secret, have eaten here and had the takeout numerous times and it is always excellent food. Great service in the restaurant too. Get there early on weekends as it fills up quickly.
