Experience the legendary Ginger Beef at Dragon Gate 80ate, a Calgary Chinese food staple!

This iconic Calgary-style Chinese dish combines crispy texture with bold, savory flavors that keep customers coming back for more.
Our Ginger Beef is a true Calgary Chinese food classic. At Dragon Gate 80ate, we prepare this beloved dish using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Premium beef is carefully cut into strips, marinated, lightly battered, and deep-fried until perfectly crispy. The secret to our exceptional Ginger Beef lies in our house-made ginger sauce – a perfect balance of tangy, sweet, and savory flavors with fresh ginger, garlic, and aromatic spices.
What makes our Ginger Beef exceptional is the attention to detail in every step. We use only fresh, high-quality beef and maintain the perfect crispy texture even after tossing in our flavorful ginger sauce. The dish is garnished with julienned carrots, bell peppers, and green onions, adding both visual appeal and complementary flavors. Served piping hot with your choice of steamed or fried rice, it's no wonder this is one of our most popular dishes.
Ginger Beef pairs wonderfully with our Chicken Fried Rice or Chicken Chow Mein for a complete meal. For those looking to try multiple flavors, we recommend combining it with our Lemon Chicken or Sweet & Sour Chicken Balls for a perfect family-style dining experience.
