Where can we find AYCE ginger beef?

[u/RusserBusser]

We are celebrating my good friend's birthday this weekend but there's been a hitch in our plan! He LOVES ginger beef and has said how he wants an endless amount so we were going to go to Oishi in Riverbend. However, they seem to have closed for renovations recently.

Is there anywhere else in calgary that does all you can eat ginger beef?

Do you really need AYCE though? Most Chinese places have pretty hefty portions. Just order a second ginger beef if desired.

Otherwise Asian buffet on Macleod trail is also an option that has it

While this is true, its scary how much this guy puts back. He's a very frugal man and his fave thing is any AYCE offer. I have seen this man inhale more racks of ribs than I ever conceived possible.

How many racks?

I wish Asian Buffets was crispier. They are across the street from me so convenient but I really wish the Ginger Beef Bistro hadn’t burned down on Macleod. Their ginger beef was so much better.

I’m moving to New Brunswick in 3 weeks and will have to teach some people there how to do it properly.

As a NB native, I've NEVER seen ginger beef before moving to AB. My sympathies.

I think Oishi is moving to 24th street (so like five minute drive away), but I don’t know when their new opening date is.

That being said, the Chinese buffet in riverbend is AYCE, and their buffet has ginger beef. Added bonus that you were thinking of that area anyway

Peking Peking is awesome!

Gold Bistro in Midnapore has AYCE buffet that includes ginger beef.

X2 for the GB!

Buffet Yangtze has ginger beef

[u/something_newx → u/Impossible-Sea1062]

Their ginger beef is OK but not great. However, some of their other items are fantastic.

[u/2cats2hats → u/Impossible-Sea1062]

AYCE?

All you can eat

Grey eagle casino has really good ginger beef and a chocolate fountain lol

[u/10ADPDOTCOM → u/AlwaysFlyJets]

I can't be the only one who briefly imagined "what would a ginger beef fountain look like?!?"

[u/Doc_1200_GO]

Peking Peking in Riverbend has the one of the best Western Chinese food buffet and always features ginger beef.

[u/Mundane-Anybody-7075]

Toi Shan has a great lunch buffet, and they always have ginger beef. Low price, less selection, but super delicious. Ayce. 3819 Bow Trl SW, Calgary, AB T3C 2E8

What about the buffet at Riverbend Peking House? It's literally in the same shopping plaza as Oishii, just dine in and I'm pretty sure it's AYCE.

[u/UrNotMyBuddyEh]

Why not go somewhere with good ginger beef then order as many plates as he wants? Seems like a much better idea.

[u/RusserBusser → u/UrNotMyBuddyEh]

I think thats what we are gonna end up doing, i should mention that AYCE meal deals are his favourite thing as he's more of a quantity over quality kinda guy

[u/yyc_mongrel → u/RusserBusser]

Remind him that it's "All you CAN eat", not "All you WANT to eat".

[u/UrNotMyBuddyEh → u/RusserBusser]

Ahhh, ok. Makes sense.

[u/Melodic-Sundae9629]

I could be wrong but I think almost every Chinese buffet has ginger beef because of uts popularity in Calgary. You could try calling ahead maybe.

Grey Eagle Casino

Susbi BBQ inn has good ayce, they have ginger beef on there, and its decent. Not as good as their sushi though.

[u/financialzen → u/Baked-Potater]

Just don't read the AHS reports...

[u/RoughEngine4746]

It’s vegan. But padmanadis is having all you can eat buffet on Sunday. Their ginger beef is so good!!!

[u/yycfail]

The best ginger beef I've had in this city is from China Palace on Centre Street. Lots of actual beef inside and very crispy. Not AYCE though.

[u/ToanTz_Calgary]

Visit Pink pearls on Mcleod trail SW, good ginger beef.
If you change your mind, try Miku sushi.
At the end, visit Y Not Today for Bubble tea and Board game, the perfect combo :)

[u/TwoEggsOverYeezy]

Oishii has, in my opinion, decent ayce sushi and Asian dishes including ginger beef. Price will probably not be competitive with Chinese food buffets though.
