Ginger Beef is a Calgary classic, and The Pink Pearl Restaurant's version is a customer favourite: crispy strips of beef tossed in a sweet, tangy, and gently spicy ginger sauce. Served hot from our kitchen on Macleod Trail SW, it's a staple for dine-in, takeout, and delivery across Calgary.
Few dishes are as tied to Calgary's food history as Ginger Beef, and at The Pink Pearl Restaurant we take pride in serving a version that keeps that tradition alive. Thin strips of beef are battered and deep-fried until shatteringly crisp, then coated in a glossy sauce built on fresh ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, and a touch of chili for warmth.
Every order is wok-tossed to order so the beef stays crunchy under the sauce, with julienned carrot and onion adding colour and crunch. It's a dish our regulars from the Beltline, Erlton, and downtown Calgary keep coming back for, whether they're picking up a quick lunch or ordering a full family dinner combo.
