Food was great! Not as spicy as I expected, although we did ask for medium spice.
We got a private room which included kareoke. We ended up singing for almost three hours after dinner for no extra cost! They had both old and new songs which was awesome!

We got take out from one of the delivery apps, and was pleasantly surprised by the food (given the restaurant reviews on Google).
The spicy and sour vermicelli noodle was absolutely delicious, the cumin lamb was tender, and the potato+pepper+eggplant stir fry was wonderful. Everything tasted like authentic northern Chinese food.

The food at this neighborhood Chinese restaurant is decently priced and dishes are prepared well. The atmosphere is interesting as it features a number of private little rooms. There are a number of Panda Kid-Like Statues scattered throughout the Restaurant. The service staff are casually dressed so it is a bit difficult to know who works there and who does not. There is a discount menu to order off of. You may have to know chinese in order to order off of it. The Peking Duck 3 course is cheaper than most places... I recommend you order that if your part is 4 or more... so you can also other dishes

Best Hunan style Chinese restaurant is the city, my must go place on every Calgary trip. Sometime they are short on people but the wait is totally worth it. The spicy food there is my favourite.

Very legitimate Human style food. Don't expect to find Americanized food like ginger beef or sweet and sour (insert meat here). There are also non-spicy dishes, but if you want only non-spicy dishes don't bother coming here. The best dishes are the cumin spicy lamb and bamboo with preserved dried pork (see photos).
For those that gave this place one or two stars saying they didn't expect spicy food or offal. Clearly they didn't know what Hunan style food is and wanted something westernized.

It's a great restaurant with additional parking space located behind the establishment. An open concept layout that seems to accommodate wedding receptions and other events (Audio & projector are already setup).
The menu was very simple, but it definitely could use pictures, and a brief description of the food items to help new comers have a better understanding in choosing the appropriate dish. Each dish we ordered are definitely for sharing of at least 3-4 people. You get your value, but the taste may not be appropriate to all audience especially with dietary restrictions and to individuals

Yes the service could do with some improvement but once you get beyond that, the Hunan prepared food here has amazing flavour and a real ‘kick’. Finally some decent food in Calgary though not the cheapest for Chinese food. Love that the menu has photos on almost every dish, not loving that the bill was in Simplified Chinese but I expect that to change. Highly recommended restaurant to try. Excess parking in the back alley.

The food was not bad, it could have been a bit spicier. The chicken was a bit dry and needed some more flavor. Overall I think it's worth a try.

You have to rely on your luck to eat in Chef Tian Restaurant. Sometimes the chef is happy you get really good dishes, but sometimes the food is just okay. Not a very clean restaurant.decoration is not my style.
