The wood ear mushroom salad is a must. Wontons in spicy sauce are fantastic. This is now a must on every trip!!

Have not had the authentic Shanghai hot and sour soup for years since there is no restaurant in Calgary can make any. Probably pricey compare with other Shanghai restaurant, but the food quality worth the price. This Ding Tai Fung offers more food selection than the ones in Taipei (mainly for tourists, not for locals due to high pricing).

However, they aspire to serve the same type of broth filled dumplings. There is no comparison between the two. There is a very limited selection of dim sum served here. Almost all are pork based. No shrimp or beef dumplings. At least the dumplings were edible but not great.The Shanghai Noodles were very bland. The stewed beef pancake wrap tasted odd and was not edible. The dished were quite expensive considering the size and the quality.
