Golden Inn Restaurant: Flood Re-Opening – 10% Off Your Bill

[GDCivicSi]

After 11 weeks of blood, sweat and a lot of tears, the Golden Inn Restaurant in Chinatown is proud to finally re-open their doors since the catastrophic flood that hit Calgary on June 20, 2013. The restaurant is located a block from the Bow river and was hit pretty bad. It required renovations throughout most of the restaurant and thorough sanitation.

To celebrate the restaurants grand re-opening and 36 year anniversary, they are offering all guests 10% off the bill everyday until September 30, 2013!

The restaurant has an 88% “Like It” rating on Urbanspoon (http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/15/190649/restaurant/Chinatown/Golden-Inn-Calgary#). It's renowned for its delicious Cantonese-style dishes and super-late hours. The salt and pepper squid is purported to be the best in the city.

My parents have owned the restaurant since 1977 and this is their life and passion, your support would be truly appreciated.

Didn't know that this was a Beyond affiliate! I used to eat down there all the time! I'll make it a mission to head over that way at some point. I haven't eaten Chinese food downtown for a while now. I'm about due!

[el-nino]

family has been going there since the early 80's! Happy its back!

[Dave P]

Oh WOW. a big 10% haha.

[bh87]

Glad your back!
I will also make a point to support this restaurant.

The only time my in-laws go out to eat is here.

The Spicy Garlic deep fried crab is amazing!

[dexlargo]

Highly recommended!

This has been my go to spot for years (decades? frightening thought) for late night food to follow a hard night of drinking. The food is always great and the staff is always super-friendly, even when you probably don't deserve it on account of being a drunken idiot.

I'll definitely renew my relationship with this place to give back to a place that has given me so much happiness.

You'd better give old Diamond Jim here an extra 40% off, sounds like the flood has really hit him hard. :)

[GDCivicSi]

Thanks for all the compliments and support!

This is just another reason why I love beyond and Calgary so much. It's been inspiring watching the city come together to help flood victims.

Went there friday, highlight was the sliced chicken with sticky rice under the crispy skin with gravy on the side.

And my favorites there are the salt and pepper jumbo prawn and the stuffed chicken wings with shrimp, sticky rice or mushrooms and bamboo shoots

[GDCivicSi]

We had a successful re-opening! It's been a while since I've seen my parents smile.

The restaurant was packed on Saturday and had a lineup. If you plan on visiting the restaurant this weekend, I suggest you make a reservation online on OpenTable (http://www.opentable.com/single.aspx?rid=113074&restref=113074) or by calling 403-269-2211.

^And he doesn't mind paying extra 20% since he's so loaded. Feel free to charge him extra and add automatic gratuity. ;)

I just called my mom and told her and a server named Benny to take care of you.

They asked me to describe you so they can pick you out from the crowd, but I have no idea what you look like. I hope they find the right table.

[dexlargo]

Has Benny been working there forever? I think he's the guy I always have late at night. Gotta love Benny.

I think that's quite generous for a Chinese restaurant.

Is dubbo no tax fo yu!

[Disoblige]

To be honest, who cares about the 10%.
The food is good. I was there at 10:30 pm last night and had a good meal.
Didn't get the 10% but I'm glad I didn't. Pretty shitty thing that happened to them and I'm happy to give them some business.

Would come again. Hard to find a place that opens really late at night and isn't a dump.

[InRich]

Food was great!
would defiantly come again!

[403ep3]

Co-workers want to go out for some food soon and we might just end up going here. 3 blocks away ftw!

When does the lunch crowd normally hit?

Off the top of my head, I would say Benny's been working at the restaurant for at least 10 years. He's a huge car enthusiasts. He uses all his vacation time to travel the world and attend major car shows.

Lenny's been working at the restaurant for at least 30 years (before I was born). He's the short chubby server. All the ladies from the late night crowd love him and are always giving him hugs.

[GDCivicSi]

Here's a friendly reminder that the extra 10% off your bill Flood Re-Opening promo ends this Monday, September 30, 2013. The restaurant has been busy, especially on the weekends so it's a good idea to make reservations. You can do so by calling 403-269-2211 or booking online (http://www.opentable.com/single.aspx?rid=113074&restref=113074).

We have a 88% rating on Urbanspoon. Give us a thumbs-up and help us get over 90%!

We will be there on Saturday for my mother in laws b-day with a large table reserved for 6pm, looking forward to it!

Virgin Radio's Moring Show did a jingle about the restaurant this morning!

https://www.facebook.com/video/embed?video_id=10153316301710578

"There are a lot of business trying to get back on their feet after the floods...so we wanted to help them out with The Virgin Morning Show Ad Agency."

[GDCivicSi]

I helped man the Golden Inn table at the 'Taste of Chinatown' event on Wednesday night and was interviewed by Global TV.

Here's a link to the news clip: http://globalnews.ca/video/1025326/back-from-floods

If it wasn't obvious, I was super nervous :)

[cancer man]

How did you get insurance i'am still sucking the hind titt.

Calgary restaurant reviewer John Gilchrist recently interviewed my two brothers and I about Golden Inn's recovery from the flood. Look for the article in today’s Calgary Herald and Swerve Magazine (Friday, January 24, 2014).

[max_boost]

Good job Raymond!

[supe]

I'm a bit surprised at how much publicity Golden Inn is getting, however, I love this place, it has served me many good meals so its much deserved.

[GDCivicSi]

Thanks guys!

The media has been very good to us and have done a lot to get people back into Chinatown.

All the publicity helped us quickly recover from the flood.

[jdmXSI]

Will most likely be there on Saturday for a great dinner as usual!

[GDCivicSi]

More publicity....

My brother Kelvin (head chef at Nationals 17th Ave) and I were recently interviewed by CBC Radio.

We talked about the Golden Inn, Chinese New Years and Super Bowl:
