Leo Fu's is a Calgary standard, or so I'm told. My beloved's family has been coming here for 30 odd years, and has never been disappointed. The food leans toward Canadianized old-school "dinner-for-4" style cooking - and that's fine by me. If that's what they've always done, they've certainly gotten good at it. Authenticity is such a fleeting thing anyway. Who's to say that a few decades of tradition isn't "authentic" by now?
To cut to the chase - I like it. The ginger beef, a Calgary specialty, is as good as I've had anywhere. The decor is old school too, like every slightly-upscale "Chinese" restaurant looked like a few decades ago - but very clean and well-preserved, having received a fresh coat of paint regularly. I'm not saying it's going to impress a date, but it's a comfortable place to sit.
To sum up - "traditional" Canadian/Chinese food, done very well, at reasonable prices. It's not a gourmet experience - it's just good comfort food. What's not to love about that? -

Had a group of 7 right after they opened. Food came in good time, was hot and tasty. Waitress really impressed us with her knowledge of the menu. She was very attentive and confirmed several times on the MSG allergy we expressed. Overall, a good night out.

This was our second time here since the change in management.
Gone are the photos of a youthful Ralph Klein and other famous visitors. Unfortunately, the great food is also gone...
The five dish meal that we had was uninspiring. The ginger beef was tough and bland and the rest of the meal tasted like it was re-heated from the previous day.
The service was very good. The staff were attentive and friendly.
We used to love coming here. I am not sure that we will be back though. -

We used to enjoy eating here but I don't know what's happened. I believe there's been a change in management or ownership or something. But it's not the same. I miss the staff and the food the last time we ate there was just not good. I don't know if they burned the ginger beef or what, but there was a real awful after taste to it. It's sad as it was such a Calgary institution.

Rather eat at a food court
Paid $26 for General Tao chicken and chicken dried rice and it was not even close to decent. I don't eat unhealthy often but when I do I want to enjoy it and only thing that enjoyed this meal was the trash.
Maybe next time I will just cook it myself.
