"The food here is absolutely terrible"
"The worst Chinese food I ever had"
"Beyond disappointed"
"When we ordered, we placed a double order of beef"
"The man I spoke to on the phone while placing my order was such a sweetheart! The food, ok so everyone knows that you ALWAYS cook fish separately from any other food, why? Because all the other food will taste like fish!!!! That is what happened with all FOUR combos plus 2 extra side dishes we ordered last night"
The food here is absolutely terrible. Ordered beef chop suey. Got a container that was half water a couple pieces of beef and a bunch of bean sprouts (no vegetables!) Sweet and sour pork... was the brightest died red concoction with no flavor! Dry garlic boneless pork... looked like beef and was not dry or boneless. Chicken chowmein... greasy think noodles that looked and tasted like swollen itchiban noodles. Egg rolls... dry and flavorless. Deep fried shrimp... the only thing was even slightly edible. Dont waste your money supporting this place. When I called to complain the owner said it's against policy to refund unhappy customers even though we had to throw everything out. I posted photos but didnt know how to add them here. Mine are the ones in the styrofoam boxes.
The worst Chinese food I ever had... didn't even finish the leftovers. Most items didn't have any meat in it for example I got Curry Shrimp and it was all vegetables with maybe 3 pieces of shrimp. The wonton soup tasted really off I've actually never not liked wonton soup and I through this one away cause I didn't trust it. The ginger beef was tough and flavorless. I also got salt and pepper squid... I've never seen a salt and pepper squid dish that had no peppers and onions it was literally overcooked breaded squid with what I assume was cajun powder. The only decent item was the seafood and broccoli that I enjoyed. Also the rice didn't taste fresh either that's pretty key item for a Chinese food place to nail...
Beyond disappointed. My friend and I were craving Chinese food and looked up some restaurants near us. We decided to try this restaurant. The guy who answered the phone sounded annoyed to take another customer's order and just lacked customer service skills. Anyway, we ordered Lemon Chicken and fried rice. We were expecting a roast chicken since that is how it is advertised in their website, but what we got instead was a fried chicken with super thick breading and it was very dry! I called the store letting them know we ordered something we didn't want due to their false advertisement. However I didn't even get a single apology. What a poor customer service, I certainly would not come back again.
When we ordered, we placed a double order of beef. One of the orders came with uncooked meat. We realized this after combining the 2 orders of beef to store leftovers. I immediately called to let them know and the gentleman I spoke to said they would refund me next time I stopped in. I came in the next day and they would only refund 1 item even though 2 were contaminated. The man from the previous night said to toss the food because obivously they can't take it back. The next day, the woman kept saying to bring the food back and refused to refund both dishes. Also, the shrimp wasn't properly cleaned/deveined and there was 8 shrimp and a ton of onion, not worth the price.
The man I spoke to on the phone while placing my order was such a sweetheart! The food, ok so everyone knows that you ALWAYS cook fish separately from any other food, why? Because all the other food will taste like fish!!!! That is what happened with all FOUR combos plus 2 extra side dishes we ordered last night... ALL the. Meat tasted just like fish! I really hope that the owners or manager reads this because this could be serious. It's cross contamination and someone could get really sick....

I ordered here through Uber eats earlier today. I usually never leave a review even if I don’t like the food however this restaurant deserves one. The food was gross.. threw everything in the garbage. But what drew the line for me was when I found a grey hair mixed into my food (which definitely did not come from me I have long dark hair). I called the restaurant to inform them before I left any review and the person on the phone laughed at me and simply said “ok”. Horrible food and horrible customer service.

This place is absolutely horrendous. Just garbage quality food, everything has a rotten taste to it. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy, the only thing I would recommend is for them to close their doors before someone dies eating whatever the heck it is coming out of that kitchen. Absolutely disgusting, putrid, vile food. I am so rattled by this experience. I can't even believe someone would serve that. What a maniac that person must be. Winton, do everyone a favor and close your doors. -1000000/5 Stars

Pretty unimpressed this morning. My dad is a senior, and told me last night he tried to order from this restaurant. As he’s done in the past plenty of times, with no problem. His roommate told the owner the address. (And yes it’s down the street, but they’re both seniors) the owner said “why don’t you just walk down here and get it” even after saying they are more then willing to pay the delivery fee, the owner got nasty. Needless to say we will not be ordering here anymore.

I just ordered from this place Oct 23/2020. This Chinese food is as discusting as all the other post from earlier in these reviews say it is plz don't get food from here you will be wasting your money we have a family of 5 and were not able to eat all of our food. When you call for the manager and voice you complaints he just laughs and tells you otherwise. I say again do not order from this discusting place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!........... these people need to be shut down and I'm going to do my damdest to do so.
I've been meaning to leave a review for some time because this is a great place to pick up great Chinese food at a good price. There are only two small tables if you want to eat inside. The owners are super friendly and very nice people. Chicken fried rice has a good smokey wok flavour to it. Ginger beef is awesome sprinkled with sesame seeds. Chop suey is great. If you have not got food from here please give it a try as I believe you will be very impressed and fully satisfied.
Best little hole in the wall Chinese food place around. All these complaints may have had it on an off day but 9/10 the food is so good. The dumpling are the best in the city. Everything is unique and tastes different unlike some places, where everything just starts to taste deep fried/the same. The key to the ginger beef is to mix the sauce on the bottom into it if it wasn’t obvious. Winton will stay my go to take out place.

The food was very good with generous portions. A pleasant man brought it to the door a bit earlier than expected but that was fine with us as we were hungry! I found the price great for how much food we ordered (about 8 different dishes), with a 20% discount coupon. We loved the spring rolls and will probably order more next time. The dishes had just the right amounts of sauce and seemed very fresh. This is the second time we've ordered from Winston and will again :)
Very disappointing. Received a flyer in my mailbox and was excited to try. Found a hair in the vegetables so wasn’t off to a good start. The rice and chow mein were ok but the rest wasn’t edible. The lemon chicken was greasy and over cooked and dried out. The sweet and sour pork was not good. The beef and broccoli I had to spit out. The egg rolls were dripping grease and tasted burnt. Don’t waste your time or money and try somewhere else.
Not very good overall. Rice was not fresh and over cooked. Instead of nice moist grains it was firm and very dry. DO NOT order salt and pepper squid. Was extremely over cooked and could barely chew it. Worst I ever had. Was like shoe leather. Chow main was very good. Egg roll was very good. Ginger beef was different, but flavourful. Dry ribs were pretty good, but over-cooked. Not sure if they are overlooking things or just reheating.
Horrible picked up food first sign a dirty restaurant. My favorite food salt and pepper squid had 2-3 pieces terrible into the garbage it went. Went with single combo rice - old, dried garlic ribs soggy, ginger beef like rubber. Not worth the $24.00 pretty sure egg roll came from a box so disappointed. EVERYTHING WENT INTO MY GARBAGE Will keep trying to find a place that serves descent food expecially at the prices they are charging.
This was one of the worst Chinese food take out I have ever eaten. Do NOT order the sweet and sour pork or the salt and pepper chicken. Payed way too much. $85 for 4 dishes. Completely disappointed and Won't be ordering from here again. The only thing I can say that was good was the delivery service, Door Dash and how fast it arrived on my doorstep. .

This place is so rancid my stomach went upside down. I I got home, and there was literally a bug inside of my rise.i Called them, and they said that there is no way that they would ever be bugs inside of their food and I tried to explain, and they hung up on me. Place is a disgrace to Chinese food. Place about ordering from this horrible restaurant.

Edit- changing from 5 to 3 stars after my last experience. I had give 4 stars for the food and 5 for the portions. Now both drop to 3. As somebody else mentioned, the sweet and sour sauce has an off taste. Also was disappointed in the Ginger Beef- just wrong. Lemon chicken and beef & broccoli were good. I might come back for a "dinner for one" for those two items, but that's about it.
Very delishious fresh. Owner is very nice, takes pride in recipe's like making house made butter, sauces, slicing ginger beef instead of.your traditional long/short crunchy oval shaped.. (Best way I can describe ginger beef haha.) I don't eat McDonald's, Wendy's, burger King, Arby's,gross fake fast food filler with flavour , etc..tried lots on the menu and will always go back!
Being from Vancouver BC , I can honestly say that it’s been hard finding a good Chinese restaurant in Calgary but I was impressed by this place food was good portions were fair price was good. I’m not going to say that there aren’t any good place for Chinese food but compare to BC well it’s not easy but hey Yuu can’t beat the Alberta Beef hands down the best for a good steak
This was the worst Chinese food ever.. ginger beef smelt rotten.. sweet and sour pork disgusting. Called to let them know and they laughed and said they have a no return policy and hung up on me.. I had to rate a 1.. they did not have a - 0.. what happened to customer satisfaction. I have never dealt with such a rude restaurant.. food is not fit for a DOG. Stay away people.
Honestly, I’ve ordered from this place many times and have always enjoyed it and never had any issues. Tonight I ordered from them and my brother and I end up getting seriously sick. I call the restaurant and the woman couldn’t have cared less. It’s disappointing that a place I once enjoyed ordering from would not care about the customers becoming sick from their food.
This has been the best Chinese food place I have been to in years!! The ginger beef was amazing because of the very little amount of batter on it, it was basically just beef chunks in ginger sauce. I will definitely come back and I will definitely recommend!! And the people who took our order were very respectful and very nice!! Thank you for the great experience!!
Never ever ordering from here again, laughed on the phone when I called to complain about my order and had no respect, they call chinese food it was disgusting. Ginger beef was dry and sweet n sour pork was not sweet n sour. Spring rolls were greasy and so gross. Fried rice dry as heck. Chicken balls were gross did not taste good at all. First time and last time!
This place is very cheap and honestly was exactly what I wanted for a Canadian Chinese food. Greasy yes, sweet, yes and oodles of carbs. Thank you for the good eats!

Poor customer service, manager was rude & quick to hang up on me. Chicken didn't look appetizing at all, looked like the wing of the chicken, asked for seafood & veggies & was give 6 shrimp 5 crab & 4 squid pieces & the rest of the container was full of broccoli. For $32 I'm not impressed what's so ever.
If you want delicious, fast, non greasy,hot Chinese food. This is the place to order from. I love it. I don't feel gross after eating it. It always comes fast and hot too. We often order lemon chicken , they send the sauce on the side so it's not soggy once it arrives. Food is always fresh and crisp.
My children and i all got food poisoning from this place! We tried talking to them and they basically said its not their fault! Customer service was unbelievable! Be very careful these ppl don't care about your well being nor do they care about their horrible reputation! Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!
I don’t know what everyone’s complaining about. The ginger beef, ginger chicken, lemon chicken have all been great when I have ordered-although the rice seems a little burnt and overcook. so try something different like the noodles that taste just fine and for the price you definitely can’t complain
Radioactive Sweet & Sour Chicken Sooo the sweet and sour chicken looks like it could be giving off gama rays. It didnt have pineapples or any veggies. The shanghai noodles were green. Everything looked and tasted a bit weird. The shrimp fried rice is not the worst thing that has ever happened to me.
I ordered dry garlic ribs and I got something else egg rolls were burnt I don't think I will ever order from here again I just moved back and trying to find a decent place to get food from.

Calling this "Chinese food" is both an insult to the Chinese culture and food. I ordered 5 dishes from here and each one was worst than the last. Even the rice was horrible. If this is your idea of good Chinese food do yourself a favor and go to the mall and eat there it will blow your mind.
Best Chinese I have had in a while. Ginger beef. shake it before you open it because the flavor settles and the Cantonese Chow Mein was the best I have ever had... and the husband and wife make you feel very welcomed. We will order again

I ordered for dry ribs. But what I got weren't ribs. they were neckbones. I can tell the difference between ribs and neckbones. And the chicken fried rice smells like burnt grease off the barbecue grill. So disappointed. Even the kids didnt eat the rice, they usually love to eat fried rice.
We went in on a “spur of the moment”...wife was very friendly. Food was made fresh and tasted amazing! The prices were very reasonable and the portions were large! Not like some other places that have “downsized” their portions but increased their prices. Will definitely go here again.
Ordered the dinner for 3, and everything was tasty. Very generous portions. We particularly liked the garlic ribs, which were tender and seasoned perfectly, not too salty like other places usually are. The delivery driver was extraordinarily nice as well. We'll order again!
I don't think I've ever enjoyed Chinese food more than here. First experience. I even waitressed at a Chinese restaurant in my past. Even the leftovers cold were amazing! I'd recommend it to anyone. Plus! Bubble tea!!

We have been trying different Chinese Food joints, Winton's Is Supremely Excellent. The owner visited with me while i was picking up my order, he explained the different dishes; he even has his own personal recipes for some of them. Totally Awesome ... thanks
I ordered on ubereats and then got a little nervous when I looked on Google reviews. They must have had an off day for those people because some of these dishes are the best I've had in Calgary!

I've always ordered from this place, however I don't know who they've got answering their phone but you've just lost a customer. He needs to brush up on his customer service skills. And no it wasn't a language barrier issue the guy was just rude.
We always oder chinese food from this restaurant for some time and always loved their food, but above all our last oder was beyond perfection. All the menu items we ordered were cooked to perfection, and the portion size were up to satisfaction.
Best Chinese food for the price in the city! Never greasy and always hot and tasty. Fresh ingredients and robust portions makes for an Amazing experience! They would be my favourite of all time if the Wor Wonton was as good as everything else!!
General Tso's was just dry fried chicken bits with chili flakes. Laughable portion for the price. Only 2 stars bc UberEats refunded me so I didn't pay a cent for it.

I am suprised to see the bad reviews since my family has been ordering form here for the past year when we first found out about this restaurant. We've never been disappointed with food or service. Great little location, run by a nice family.
Worst food I have ever tasted. The oil in the fryer was old so my food tasted like burnt oil. It didnt even look good. I attempted to contact them to give them a chance to fix this and I was told that there is nothing wrong with their food.
Always greeted with a smile at this place. First tried it when I had a craving during my pregnancy. We enjoy their service and their food, prices are great as well. Here's to supporting more local Calgary restaurants and business owners! ❤️
This is a FANTASTIC restaurant. I love the couple there for their service and the food is HOT AND YUMMY when delivered or even picked up.

Fast Delivery and good food for a responsible price. We have been looking for a place that served good chicken balls. Winton's chicken balls are very good and made with white meat which believe it or not is hard to find. Highly recommend.
Ordered a from here and the value and taste of the rice keeps bringing me back. Tried the Wonton soup tonight and wasn't disappointed. Excellent friendly service is a definite plus, they earned a fan here. Keep up the good work Mr & Mrs.
There food made me sick and it seems like from the reviews i am NOT the only one who felt the food smelt and also tasted rotten. I wikk NOT ever be back and will make sure i let my social media following know and the news media too.
Awesome Chinese food. Various of choices on the menu. They'll give you one item for free if your order's over $25 (doesn't work with Skipthedishes or Uber eat). Can't find a cheaper and better Chinese food than this one. I love it!
I do understand that they have difficulty with English. I have ordered there many times. I live on a mews. Hard for them to understand. I had to spell it many times and they still didn't understand me.so effing frustrating!!!!
So sad that the portions and quality have gone downhill here. This was one of my favorite places, unfortunately I'll be looking elsewhere

You have to try their GINGER BEEF!!! It is fantastic! Not heavy breading like everywhere else! Also everything else is super delicious at reasonable prices! The dumplings are the thick dough ones however.

Garbage they gave us day old food the only fresh itam was the rice and when I asked for a Refund the man just kept repeating that he will not fall for trick again. it's not a trick if you serve bad food
Ordered dry garlic ribs, shrimp and BBQ pork. The dry garlic ribs where soggy and tasted like soy sauce the BBQ pork meat was hard I couldn't even eat it I didn't finish any of the food never again
Very good Chinese food and cheapest prices anywhere all the food we got was very good lots of flavour huge portions I'll be a repeat customer every time I order Chinese I highly recommend
Love the food here and the great prices. The chicken friend rice is 100% the best ever. We usually order the dinners for 1 and I've tried a ton of the sides and they are all so good!
BEST GINGER BEEF EVER!!!! The eggroll was super crunchy and super awesome if I could order just the fried outside I would! Don't get the chicken balls however, WAY too much breading.
Very disappointed. We ordered from here because there seemed to be a lot of positive reviews. Strange sweet and sour sauce and strange food generally. Sorry will not come back.
Always a go to for chinese food. The prices are cheap and it's run by a sweet elderly couple. Usually grab shrimp egg Foo-Young or beef & broccoli, but they have a wide menu.
This is one of the best food in Calgary! We ordered in uber eats and this restaurant has the best chicken wings. Everything is just good! The serving is good! Thank you guys!

Driver had to call 7 times to confirm the address and even after got it wrong. Food didnt taste very good and all sauces had leaked all throughout bag. Terrible service.
Best Chinese food we have in a long time, still delicious after being in the fridge for a couple of days. Delivery was quick and the guy was friendly and sweet!
Had the spicy salt and pepper pork and the ginger beef. Both different takes on what I might have been used to but really enjoyed it. Quick and good value.
They got one dish wrong on my order and refused to fix it. If you are looking for lackluster customer service and perhaps food you didn't order, go for it
its the grossest. chinese food. ever never eating here again. there food tasted like its been out for days. and also the chicken it tastes like cat
Best Chinese food we had in a long time everything had a different taste it's the second time ordering from here , great both times will be back.
Good food, great family restaurant that is run by superb people. Locally owned and operated. Support local businesses and give these guys a try.
Best Chinese food in Calgary so far. We ordered take out and it was fast, reasonably priced, and tasted amazing. Will be our go to take out!!
Ordered BBQ pork, and had the poorest food experience in a long time. Terrible cuts of pork drowned in corn syrup and salt. Never again.
Fabulous food awesome service and reasonably priced an all round wonderful dining experience lunch or dinner we have ejoyed both!!!
Terrible food, chow mein is not served with spaghetti noodles, ginger chicken soggy and burnt, greasy egg rolls....never again!!
First time ordering today and i got to say this place is great ! Family loved it and we will definately be returning customers !
