I will never understand how this restaurant has a 3.7 rating. It is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Calgary. We have been going for years and have never had a bad meal. I highly recommend the green beans and the golden sand shrimp. (Shrimp deep fried in batter made from salt egg yolk) I don’t recommend the lobster in cream sauce. It was $80 and covered in a bland gelatinous cream.

Bistro and hk cafe combined in one. The menu is fairly large so lots of things to read and choose from. After looking through a bit ordered the food and then quickly got it. Ordered the laksa and the pork and chicken with tomato and cream sauce baked on top of pasta. The sauce chicken and pork tasted pretty good but I think it would have been better with the baked rice option. The soup laksa also tasted pretty good. The meal also had tea to drink which was pretty tasty. Overall pretty solid experience.

Authentic Chinese cuisine featuring dim sum and hearty dishes. It’s usually our first stop after the flight into Calgary. Conveniently located in Harvest Hills T&T mall, the restaurant offers hearty dishes and an impressive selection of dim sum, making it a go-to spot for both casual meals and special gatherings. The service is efficient, the portions are generous, and the flavors are consistently authentic. Whether you’re craving classic dumplings, BBQ pork buns, or a comforting bowl of congee, T Pot delivers a satisfying dining experience every time. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality Chinese cuisine in Calgary!

The pork cutlets that I ordered came with fries, spaghetti side (or rice) and the cabbage soup. It's a big dish. For me the cabbage soup was a very nice surprise as it was delicious and outshined the very tasty pork cutlet. Great place.

This restaurant is famous for dim sum. Overall I like this food, fresh and tasty. I will go back to try the dinner menu. The shrimps dishes were good. The deep fry squid was my favorite.

Dim Sum dishes were super delicious, fresh and tasty. We were impressed with the quality of Dim Sum lunch that we returned the next day for dinner. Dinner portions were generous. We ordered 6 dishes for 5 persons and had plenty to eat and leftovers. Recommend: Salt & Spicy squid, Mapo tofu (very spicy!), snow peas, Deep fried Octopus.

We enjoyed the dim sum here, the flavors is excellent and in my opinion, very authentic, though it does lean on the pricey side, they even charge for takeout containers, which was a bit of a surprise. The steamed shrimp dumplings are hands-down the best I’ve had in Calgary. My father, who’s very particular about traditional Hong Kong–style dim sum, ranks this place number one so far, which says a lot. When we visited, the service was fast, and honestly feels just like being in Hong Kong, loud, brisk, and straight to the point. Definitely a solid 4 stars.
