Reviews for Chili Island Chinese & Thai in Calgary, AB

This is a quality choice for gluten free chinese food. The fried rice is great, portions are always big. Staff is small. always... working. There is occasionally some consistency issues on the meat dishes where they go from excellent to just good. But I haveordered here many times and will continue to do so. Palace chicken is awesome.

When u order take out it?s supposed to b hot not cold , we live 5 minutes away , ordered dinner for two and dumplings. Dough on... dumplings way to thick , portions have gotten a lot smaller, but cold REALLY, that?s pitiful Read more

Just ordered the dinner for 2 and literally the portions are for one person. I usually order from ginger beef but we thought of... trying something new...never again. I can get an actual dinner for 2 at other restaurants... Read more

If the menu has one spicy pepper beside the item, know that it's EXTREMELY SPICY, and this is coming from someone that loves... spicy food. If it has two spicy symbols, your going to breathe fire like a dragon. Delicious flavors. Love the labor chicken,even if my mouth feels like I drank hot acid, I would get it again and again. Good portion size, any Chinese food place is onthe expensive side so I'm not fussed about that. Read more

We ordered the salt and pepper squid pork dumplings Shanghai noodles and vegetables and sweet-and-sour pork dumplings were... literally pure dough with a tiny dollop of meat inside and the dough itself was so gross ? Just these giant hunks of some kindof bread dough almost? The squid was flavourless and had some kind of tendon still in the middle that was like a pc of rubberglove i Literally had to break open ever pc and pull this rubber thing out of the centre? Wth ? So gross and everything else wasbland and very disappointing with what you would expect to have flavour is purely flavourless I had to add so much salt andpepper and soy sauce to it for it to even taste remotely like Chinese food I was actually embarrassed to have served this to myguests and less you enjoy paying for a huge hunk of dough go somewhere else Read more

For some reason my wife likes this place and continues to order from here. First off-the ginger beef. Chewy and overcooked-it... has never been that good in all our times ordering. Second-I can tell from some of our dished color and temperature that theymixed fresh and old together. And the sign of any good restaurant is how busy it is at 5:30 on a Friday night. There was not asingle diner in the place. And I have noticed this several times when picking up. It's a ghost town. Perhaps its the dated andfaded decor. Yet my wife still orders from them. Not any more-we like the Riverbend place better and I will drive further justfor their food. Read more

These guys are legit. Bold flavors and fantastic value for money. Big portions, great flavor and service. Im glad we found this... place because silver city was not doing it for me anymore. We will come back for sure. What we ordered Salted fish fried rice-they are on point, good amount of salted fish unlike other restaurants where the flavors are muted. My fave. Seafood fried rice- my kids liked this. S&p porkchops- i can smell the spiciness when coming in to the car. Good flavor decent portions. Redcurry chicken - curry didnt seem to be color red more like green curry but it was still tasty. Smallest portion size compared toothers but still good size. Experience- we are a family of 5 and we didnt finish everything(we usually do!). Coming in therestaurant it didn't look as pleasing but i ordered pickup anyway. The price was lower than other restos, usually i pay 60+ forthe same kind of order here i just paid 50+. Upon receiving the bag it was heavier than most restaurants, i know because weorder Chinese 2 to 4 times a week from different places. They said pickup after 20 minutes it was a little over 20 minutes butstill good. The old lady who served me was very nice. Coming home we tasted everything before the s&p chops became steamed dueto the heat. All the flavors are on point and how it should be. We were surprised how the container for the rice was bigger thanothers and filled to the brim. Read more

Pad Thai was incredible. It has more of a Sriracha base and less peanut than other places but it's so good and you get a TON of... it. It comes standard with chicken and shrimp added as well. You could easily feed two people from one order. Dining area isstill looking like they are closed for covid but they are open for inside dining (as of today) and they also do carry out. Read more
