We met up with Toronto's Chris P for a UYE who turned out to be a Calgary native that went to the same high school as me and Kenny M! Small world! Go Grandin GHOSTS...*cough*. Also Chris got a chance to marvel at the sight of Asian Spock :)
See previous review. Not being lazy but seriously, why waste words repeating the same message over and over again! Although in our recent visit Bill was awesome enough to end our meal with complimentary candied fruit. Goes to show how well he treats his patrons! Also Andy D is too lazy to admit it but even he was impressed in this last visit...three stars...PFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTT!Listed in: BECAUSE I SAID SO!!

As a teenager I used to come to Bill's regularly. But until last night I hadn't been in for about 5 years. It's great to see that things here are just as great as they've always been.
It's western Chinese food but it's top notch. They have all the basics that you would come to expect plus a few more. The menu is large. I dare you to see if you can't find your favorites on it.
The place is always busy so best bet is to make a reservation ahead of time.When you do get there, make sure to order the dumplings.Listed in: December 2011, The best of YYC

Ahh, Bill's.
Nobody satisfies the "white-man's-Chinese" urge quite like you.
On the whole, everything is very well-prepared.
Bill's will leave you feeling full, but never gross.
I am hard-pressed to find a dumpling better than Bill's.
The service, however, is really what sets Bill's apart.
Ever-attentive, ever-professional, these white-polo-and-denim-clad masters are ready to serve you at your very whim and command.
And none more masterful than the great Spock himself.
For this reason (as well as the freshness of food) it is always a better choice to dine-in than carry out (or worse still, delivery).
God bless you, Bill. You have changed my life. -
Review from Kenny M.
Oh Bills! One of my favorite restaurants in this fine city. Perhaps its all the special occasion dinners that were flawlessly executed,or perhaps the super awesome and very consistent service. The food here is some of the best western chinese in Calgary for certain, and thats no joke!
I hold Bills dear to my heart. and Bill himself is a classy host and knows how to run his restaurant like a well oiled machine. He goes out of his way to please customers and seems greatly respected by his employees.
Notable dishes at bills...
-Ginger Beef (one of Calgary's best IMHO)
-Pork Dumplings (My second favorite dumpling EVER!)
-Lemon Chicken (my Pa's favorite)
-Mongolian beef (exotic flavour in chinese style)
-cantonese chow mein( yummy egg noodles with sauce and little treasures like shrimp, bbq pork, chicken and veggies)
Another thing worth mentioning is the way that veggies are treated at Bills. The cooks take great care in making sure that the veg is cooked the right way. Never overcooked. Always fresh and crunchy and delicious! At other chinese places I have noticed that sometimes the technique and quality of produce can be quite inconsistent but bills is bang on every time!
I have to say if you want bills at its best don't bother getting take out or delivery. like any chinese food, it is best eaten right from the kitchen, fresh and hot.
I highly recommend bills to anyone! Come and be marveled by the service of bills finest waiter! Spock himself! Check it out!Listed in: Chinese food!

The epitome of western style Chinese food!.....not the greatest but better than Manchu Wok. though It possesses no stand out dishes, it is satisfying enough to get you through your hunger pangs. The service is also great......
based on the last meal: The fried rice was bland....ginger beef good....dumplings tasty...chow main okay and the sautee beef utterly forgettable.
I would definitely recommend other Chinese restaurants over Bill's but I have to say it does get the job done on most nights.
If Harbour City or Sun's is booked up or too far Bill's is definitely a viable option. -

My favorite Chinese restaurant in South Calgary. The service is phenomenal, which quick and old-school personal service (if you're a regular, they know your name and often your favorite dishes), and of course the food is always delicious. Bill himself is a very friendly and approachable guy, and is committed to charity: he puts part of his proceeds back into the Bonavista community that has supported him since 1988, and he also runs a pizza place (Pizza Delight) where kids eat for free.
Bill's is often our go-to for special events like birthdays and rehearsal dinners: get a round table with a lazy Susan, load it up with plates of ginger beef, sweet & sour pork, fried rice, squid, lemon chicken, chow mein and veggies, and go to town. It is on the second floor, so you can even get some exercise afterwards. Highly recommended!Listed in: Gat Top 10

Review from Ed I.
Good Chinese food, the only real complaint I have about Bill's is their prices are a little higher then other chinese restaurants. I guess you get what you pay for. I usually order the peking style porkchops, fried rice, beef & green onion hotpot, and salt & pepper seafood.
Also by checking the CHR website like I usually do when dining out I found they've had more then a couple of health violations. -

Update:
Holy heartburn! We were here for a function last night and I don't remember having MSG nightmares like that for a long time. They don't even use this much MSG in food court Chinese food anymore!
Service was still mediocre, but the Peking duck was good.1 Previous Review:

Hands down my #1 'western' chinese food restaurant. Nothing even compares.
Avoid take-out when you can, like all chinese food, the in-restaurant taste is 10x better. Why do you ask? My theory is because when the package up the food for delivery, the steam softens some of the tastier items, specifically Ginger Beef, which while originally crispy loses a bit of its edge.
Left overs from Bill's is awesome too, for best results reheat in the oven. -

Overpriced with so so food. Tries to be a fancy dining experience, older clients probably keeping this place going. Clean and good service just not impressed with quality of food for what you pay.
