Arrowana Restaurant at Valley Motel

I had the prime rib, which I thought was OK, but not that flavorful. My wife liked hers better. Most people there seems to be eating the asian buffet.I don't believe I would eat there again if I were in the area.

What a pleasant surprise. The outside of the building has never enticed us to eat there when passing through Sparwood. Then a friend recommended it, we looked at it from the highway many times before we finally stopped there to eat. The prime rib was amazing. As good or better than the best restaurants in Calgary. We will eat there again.

After a long day on the road, it was nice to just walk across the parking lot from our motel room to grab a bite of dinner. It was a Tuesday night, but the restaurant was over half full, almost all locals other than us. While primarily a Chinese restaurant, they also have western foods and a few other ethnic dishes on their menu. My husband had a curry dish, and I had their Chinese combo for 1 and we both had ample left over for the next night's dinner. It was very tasty and our server was both friendly and attentive.

Excellent buffet on weekends....not just Chinese food but prime rib as well. Lots of combinations to choose from and very fresh.

Great Chinese food buffets, very good Western menu, Prime Rib on Fridays, great service, reasonable prices.
