| - This restaurant is mecca for anyone who has ever felt frustrated that Calgary seems to shut down at 8:30 PM, leaving you hungry. Nestled in the heart of Chinatown, this fantastic Chinese restaurant is open from 8 in the morning until 4 in the morning. You heard me right- they are open TWENTY hours a day. The hostess explained that they close for four hours a day to clean and then they open right back up again.
I have been to You & Me at 11 in the morning, 9 at night, and midnight, and I have to say, I'm a little infatuated with the place. They have a huge dim sum menu, and the dim sum is really good! I mean, it's not Vancouver dim sum of course, but it's still tasty and satisfying, and you'll stuff yourselves silly for $10-$15 per person. Dim sum is served from opening until 5PM, and then from 9PM onwards (during the dinner hours and nighttime hours, they do regular a la carte dishes). The daytime dim sum menu is more extensive than the late night menu, but there's certainly no lack of choice at night.
It seems like this place is always busy and understaffed. The service is the only reason I've taken a star off. Food sometimes takes a little longer than you would expect (they don't do dim sum carts here as far as I know), and the busy waitstaff can be pretty brusque. We've gotten used to having to ask two or three times for water, and expect that they might miss a dish or two on our order. But all in all, it's worth it for the practically any time of the day dim sum!
