Don's Restaurant in Calgary offers a diverse range of traditional Chinese dishes that have garnered a mix of glowing and critical reviews. Located at 4700 26 Ave SW, it has built a reputation as a cozy, family-friendly eatery. Many patrons rave about the freshness and flavors of their meals, particularly highlighting the wonton soup and chicken chow mein as must-tries. Customers like AK Cheung proclaim it to be the best Chinese takeout in the southwest, while Candice Desjarlais praises the dumplings served with chili oil, calling them irresistible.

However, recent feedback suggests a decline in quality. Reviewer D T expressed disappointment over reduced meat portions, which detracted from the value compared to earlier visits that were filled with hearty servings and delightful tastes. Max Mullin relayed similar sentiments about the sweet and sour pork not meeting expectations but acknowledged the generous portion sizes of other dishes.

Overall, while Don's Restaurant has its charm and devoted clientele, potential diners should expect variability in food quality and portion sizes. With its warm ambiance and friendly staff, it remains a beloved spot for casual dining, where nostalgia and flavors intertwine quite beautifully.

Update: July 2023 This place has taken a major down hill slide. Meat portions are a total rip off. Ridiculous small pieces cut in tiny strips! What the hell is that about? Small strips of meat so small you can nearly think it’s noodles. Taste is so so. I don’t recommend. The year before: Very fresh and tasty food I ordered the Cantonese noodles with veggies, chicken, pork and shrimp and was very fresh and flavorful. We ordered the lemon chicken and Ginger beef and really enjoyed both dishes. All the dishes had very nice portions too. I will look forward to eating the left overs for lunch the next day, yum! Glad they are close by because we will be back. Also, all the staff were very welcoming and very friendly upon entering the place. They gave that warm and fussy feeling when you leave. Thank you!

There aren't many of these mompop restaurants left. I got the shanghai Noodles and Sweet and Sour Pork. Noodles were great, as good as any others I've had. Pork was bit underdone and not super crispy, but still pretty good. Prices were reasonable and portion size is very generous. Will be back, although might not get the sweet and sour pork again.

Really good chinese food for a reasonable price for family meal deals! We love the wonton soup, chicken chow mein and chicken balls.

Amazing Our favorite local place. I could eat the dumplings with chili oil every single day. Great food, and always greeted with a smile. We love them! ...

We ordered “dinner for four” tonight plus a chicken chow mein. It could have easily fed 12, we will have leftovers for days! The wonton soup was super impressive, most of the container was filled with huge meatball size wontons (other places you sometimes get just broth with a couple sad wontons). The other high point was the almond chicken. The meat was thick, juicy, and tender; and the batter was crispy and well done. We felt that the value was really good, the taste was great and the owners were super friendly. We ordered online through their website and they had it ready for pickup within 15 minutes.

Surprisingly delicious tofu vegetable dish. Noodles and fried rice were on point and the price was reasonable. First time buying from here, and will probably be back since it's very close to home.

We tried Don’s when it first opened (after HotWok) and it wasn’t great, BUT... we went back for the first time since and it’s so much better. We will definitely come back.
