CY Siu

The best traditional Chinese restaurant experience so far (within Calgary). Service is great and efficient as any chinese restaurant usually is. The food here - from dim sum (cart style ordering) to the feast meals were all excellent. No aftertastes, no "thirsty" feeling after and everything comes out piping hot and fresh. Large portions and the quality , quantity and cost all align together on it.

This establishment has been here for a long time and recognized by many celebs and former politicians (as shown in the many photos upon entering). Reservations are much needed for large group settings but usually as a table of 2-4 , it is ok to just walk in.

You will always get leftovers to take home with the portion sizing here when it comes to dinner meals. They provide "homestyle" chinese soup to begin and end with oranges + red bean dessert complements of the restaurant to end.

When you finish your meal, you pay your bill at the front where the cashier is. Haven't had a bad experience with any food items here so far, so I recommend trying everything.

Haven't had the experience ordering take out yet - seems with every attempt, they've always been too busy to process it. Better to just go in and eat.

On a sunny day, this can be a very hot walk but it's a good stroll being surrounded by water and onto a neat walkway. It's very peaceful in this area.

Nice campground where everything is spaced out but being by the one playground, you will get a lot of kids screaming. It is a very kid friendly spot with enough space to walk and have cars driving by. The restrooms are heated and there are showers as well. There is a quick trail that leads you to goldstream falls. Reasonably priced and although surrounded by forest...its not too private. Large campground spots though.

The only way of getting to the islands - vehicle and walk on options. Truly recommend booking your ferry ticket ahead of time. The ferry itself felt almost like a cruise - super clean and plenty of spots to sit. There is also a mini cafeteria area with decent food (recommend the sweet potato fries and triple o Chipotle sauce). At the main dock by horseshoe bay, there is a clean washroom as you wait to be boarded. Great experience.

3.5 standard spot where you go if you're craving something quick that hits the spot. The average price of pho is about $14. I found it decent without saying it lacked flavour nor did it not have enough content. The vermicelli now seemed to be pretty good and maybe better than the pho. The service I really appreciated. The overall aesthetic of the spot is ok. Standard Vietnamese style with no frills but still clean and simple.
