There is also a large population boom but many businesses are still looking for people to work because there are still so few people to work. Today Lethbridge is undergoing a strong economic boom and as a result many new businesses are cropping up. As a result, you'll see some influences of Japanese and German culture blended with the surrounding Ukrainian, Dutch, Mormon, Native and Hutterite cultures.

Before the Canadian government established full control over the area a booming whiskey trade took root. As more and more European settlers came many Natives were forced into a new life and eventually the Natives signed over their control of the territory to Canada. The valley provides some shelter from the wind, which can be quite strong at almost any time of the year.īefore European settlement of Lethbridge the area was under the control of the Blackfoot tribe of Native Americans. The Old Man River runs through this interesting landscape. The coulees are a valley formed by erosion. The natural beauty of the area is in its starkness. Lethbridge has approximately 83 000 people, and that number is growing fast. It is quiet and on the small side, but has a friendly population. The city is a commercial hub for the many smaller farming and ranching communities in the surrounding area. It’s the same as those things that nobody makes as good as your Mom did.Ī bit more objectively, this is good Chinese food in a nice atmosphere - it’s renovated inside, and far nicer than when I was a kid.Lethbridge is located in southern Alberta, Canada. So my excellent rating is based on a common thing - people enjoy food that’s familiar, especially from childhood. The chicken balls were meaty, not a ball of batter with a small nugget of chicken in the middle, and the rice was tasty as well. The chow mein has a sauce that’s slightly different than most as well.
It’s difficult to say exactly what makes their ribs distinctive, but they have less breading than most, and are cooked slightly darker than most, making them incredibly flavourful. Even on a typical dinner for 1 (fried rice, chicken chow mein, pineapple chicken, and dry spare ribs) Chinese restaurants vary slightly in their food, and it was uncanny how the dry ribs were exactly as I remember them to be, as was the chow mein, which is usually the item that I don’t take more than a couple of bites of In this case, I cleaned my plate. A visit for lunch was like meeting an old friend. I grew up in Lethbridge and since this restaurant operated in this location since the 1940’s, it’s the place where our family had Chinese food through my growing up years. Up front: this review will seem a little biased.
