Asian Connection Restaurant

While visiting friends in St. Albert we decided to check it out.
I don’t usually write these, but the horrible food and lack of service has compelled me to warn other people about this restaurant.
The food was cold and taste like it was full of nothing but MSG. The vegetables were Discoloured and some of the beef strips were still RAW… This is completely unacceptable and has potential to give someone food poisoning.
Not only was the food sub-​par but our waiter was rude and obnoxious. We asked about the discolouration and about the meat but was informed that this is how it is made. Since I am Chinese myself and travel to Hong Kong on a yearly basis I know this is NOT how it is suppose to be prepared.
If I could give 0 stars I would but unfortunately I have to give a 1.

I’m a touch biased. I love this resto. i grew up in St. A and went here for years. I’m a slave to their green onion cakes, fried rice, wonton soup and ginger beef.
Go now. Go back. Go often. I’m still searching for delicious green onion cakes in Toronto. ho hum.

The food lacked flavour. I bought the family of four meal, with a side of satay beef. the sweet and sour pork, lemon chickn, and ginger beef all lacked flavor (minus the sauce). However the rice was OK. Not worth $ 60. I won’t be going back. The «chinese food» they have at Safeway around the corner is better quality.

I’m not sure if I’ll ever find a good chinese restaurant! Asian Connection may be better then most but I guess my standards are too high coming from Little China (Vancouver).
Pros: They deliver, include chopsticks, soy and fortune cookies.
Cons: Smallish dishes, could barely see the beef inside the szchewan beef dish, and the noodles in the vegetable chow mein were of the instant variety. And for those two dishes I paid $ 22?!
I will say it’s better than the other place across the street but honestly that doesn’t say much. No more chinese food for me!

I might be a touch biased since growing up this was my family’s go-​to «we’re not cooking tonight» order-​in dinner, every couple of weeks or so. I can’t hate on family tradition, especially a family tradition this tasty.
I can’t think of anything from the menu I’ve tried and haven’t liked. Spring rolls, chicken balls, and ginger beef are a few of my favs, but the sweet and sour pork also ranks right up there. Even the rice is super yummy.
They’ve never gotten our order wrong, and nothing has been colder than super hot. They always throw in however many fortune cookies we ask for, and often each cookie has more than one fortune — that just means extra lottery numbers for my dad.
