This place gets my vote as one of the best chinese places in calgary! Now i dont just throw out 5 stars to any old place, only to the places that deliver all the goods, stand out from the crowd and stay clear of producing mediocre food. I have been to at least 20 different chinese places (in calgary) over the years and I tell you this place is in my top 3 of all the chinese restaurants I have been to. Harbour city has some exceptional food and quite frankly I just can't think of any other chinese place in Calgary (other than Bills peking house! review coming soon!) that is as consistent and that has as many home run dishes that are always fresh, well prepared and downright delicious.
The Ginger beef stands out from the crowd, also the sate beef is excellent! many other great dishes to! too many to talk about here! This is one of my go to chinese joints in Calgary and if you are a fan of typical western chinese food you will LOVE it!
The service is great! right on par, it is usually very busy ( because its so good!) so sometimes the waiters can appear flustered and be a bit overwhelmed by the rowdy downtown crowds that turnover all night( it stays open rather late!) but on these occasions any minor defects in service are quickly erased from your mind once the food arrives!
It may be a little rundown, but in this paticular case that is part of its charm. The prices here are also very reasonable, and they don't chince out on portions either! in fact I would say they are more generous than most places. Highly recommended joint to check out!
