Genesis gourmet Chinese Dim Sum Salt & Pepper Squid
I’d have trouble coming up with just one word to describe Saskatoon Genesis Family Restaurant. The gourmet Chinese Food is WONDERFUL, delicious, flavorful, unique, rich, tasty, and just so so so so so good!
The decor is so delightfully 80’s that it makes me giggle! Walk into the Genesis family Restaurant and you’ll usually be seated promptly unless you show up on a Sunday when they offer up their special Dim Sum Menu. The waitresses circle the restaurant with carts and you pick and choose a variety of reasonably priced delicious little appetizers and dishes. For Saskatoon Dim Sum, Genesis is your place. If you really want to impress your new girlfriend, or your in-laws take them to Genesis on Sunday and ask to be seated at one of the round dining tables(make sure you have a reservation). As you pick and choose your dishes you will be able to place them on a rotating circle on top of the table. No asking to pass! You share the many dishes by rotating the turn table, while sitting across from one another. It truly is a unique bonding experience. Feeling adventurous? Give the Salt and Pepper Squid a try, (pictured) it’s highly addictive! The Dim Sum menu is also available to order in the afternoons but some of the items are omitted.
The regular menu is also exceptional with the highlights being the appetizers. The deep fried shrimp dumplings are wonton wrappers stuffed with shrimp and served up with a delicious creamy sauce (highly addictive) and the Crab Rangoon isn’t just *any* Crab Rangoon… it’s so rich! Filled with lots of cream cheese Genesis Restaurant in Saskatoon does not skimp on the more expensive ingredients.
The main dishes? For the most part they are wonderful. The Wor Wonton soup has to be my favorite Wonton out of any Saskatoon restaurant. It has absolutely everything in it! BBQ pork? check! Wontons? check! Chicken? check! Delicious veggies? check! An array of seafood? check! all congered in a yummy broth. Ordering fried rice? You can’t go wrong with the BBQ pork or Genesis fried rice (both delicious!)
The seafood Birds Nest has to be my favorite entree. They fry up a Birds Nest which is a bowl made of noodles! Then they fry up a scrumptious array of vegetables and seafood (squid, shrimp, you name it!). The crunchy noodles soak up the sauce… it’s just a great dish. Pepper Chicken, Lemon Chicken (warning very lemony!) it’s all good. The only thing I wouldn’t recommend is the Ginger Beef, it’s not that it’s bad there is just much better available in the city of Saskatoon.
Genesis Restaurant offers Saskatoon area Pick-Up and Delivery but as it is located on the West Side their Saskatoon Delivery service sucks. It usually takes about an hour to get your food delivered so we would recommend skipping on the delivery and dining in or picking up your food. It’s most definitely worth it.
The best Gourmet Chinese food in Canada! Dim Sum, Dinner, Lunch, whenever you go the food is exceptional.
Genesis family restaurant makes me smile, because the food is delicious and the decor is deliciously 80’s. Dim sum is great salt and pepper squid is delicious. Their curry fried rice was a nice change of pace from same old everyday fried rice. Everything on the menu is great all of their fried rice dishes are great. Ginger beef and Kung pao is also above the rest as well.
