Can anyone tell me what restaurants in Calgary do weekday Dim Sum? Preferably outside of downtown but it isn't the end of the world to drive there so all answers are appreciated.

Thank you!

U & ME has good dimsum, pretty consistent (although its been over a year since ive gone)

T.Pot dim sum wasnt bad(all of their bistro food sucked ass though) when i went around when it opened. Things usually go down hill pretty quick though, so i can't be sure.

Singapore sam's should be called Pearl Garden now.

Forbidden City is the one near T&T in the NE
Central Grand located in New Asia

Silver Dragon located in China Town (upstairs) there's one in the SW too I think

There's a place in downtown (i know you didn't want downtown..but.. it's pretty good) under the Chinese Cultural Centre. They got a lot better and it's pretty cheap =D

On the topic of dim sum, the one right beside the telus building downtown isn't bad. Same unit as the Fuyi Yama + beside the rental cars.

I wish someone opened a 24hr dim sum place here. When I was in michigan, me and my buddies went to a 24hr dimsum place 4 hours before my flight, awesome way to end my trip eating chicken feet with black bean sauce.

The point of dim sum is to eat it during the weekday/weekend during the breakfast/brunch hours or tea time, mostly a coming together of family/friends chatting and eating it....



But it would be a good idea

I saw an ad in the chinese paper about it and am really tempted to go try. Looks like a great bang for the buck!

Disoblige: Its not a fancy place but the food quality is excellent. The size and quality is much better then Tea Pot, Bobby Chao's or even U and Me. Pine Lake isn't too bad either, although recently the "value" has gone down a bit, quality is still decent.
