Hitting the Sauce gives Golden Sands two fat thumbs up.Golden Wok is a Chain of restaurants that deals in Asian cuisine and specifically the Chinese type. I plan to go back for dinner to try the other dishes Miss Foodie recommended. I found everyone friendly and helpful, despite how busy it was. Service at Golden Sands is excellent and far better than what I experience in Vancouver or Richmond. I found the dough sweet, and still sizzling from the fryer. ![]() She liked that the dumplings were shaped and coloured like a carrot. I would have preferred if the radish cake was served at a warmer temperature. No biggie, as I still enjoyed it.īeep Beep enjoyed the minced pork dumplings. The cake itself was soft and fluffy, and the texture was smooth. I found the meat fatty and chewy. I liked the addition of the onions and seaweed-like garnish. The lemongrass pork chop was covered in a salty, pungent orange sauce. Beep Beep mentioned she thought the seafood rice roll was unique and tasted fresh. The noodle itself was glossy and silky, hot and gooey. The shrimp center was filled with a large cylinder of toothsome, bouncy shrimp. The rice crepe was similar to a wrapperless shrimp spring roll. The best dish was the seafood rice crepe. I hate to say this but Vancouver/Richmond has a much higher standard when it comes to Chinese cuisine. I told her the chef is from Vancouver, which is why Golden Sands is better than what we expect in Calgary. Beep Beep mentioned that she’s never seen this dish in Vancouver.

I imagine that social display of affection during COVID would have gotten me kicked out of the restaurant. Half an hour later, when the host gave us a table, I was so happy I wanted to hug him. I even considered slipping the host a twenty-dollar bill, but I figured the other customers would eat me alive. I’m telling you, getting into a club in Vegas is easier than eating at Golden Sands. When I apologized to her for waiting at a crowded entrance, she said not to worry, and she knew the food would be good because it was so busy. I started to wish she brought in her healing crystal. ![]() Beep Beep could sense my anxiety rising with each passing minute. The host was polite and professional, and I have to say, adept at calming the angry. I bugged him several times because I was worried we would be overlooked due to my inability to speak Cantonese or Mandarin. The host was surrounded by customers, who were constantly badgering him for a table. There was a long line-up when we arrived at the restaurant. Getting a table here during peak hours is stressful. While waiting for her to pick a suitable rock, I called Golden Sands and made a reservation for 11:30 a.m. I overheard her talking to the staff about a green crystal that grew within another crystal. I must have stood around for half an hour while she cradled different rocks in her palm, feeling their energy. It took me a couple of seconds to realize that this is where she was most interested in shopping. She spun around and said, “Right here.” I looked around and noticed several displays of crystals. ![]()
