China Town Restaurant - Halifax, Nova Scotia

About once a month I get takeout from here and it’s usually good but every now and then it’s not. Last night was the absolute worst Chinese food I’ve had in my life. The meal was cold and the rice was like swallowing glass it was so dry and hard. ... Chicken balls were huge but were 80% batter and also cold. Not sure if I could order food from Chinatown again!

Revised my review; Food: Best Dim Sum Restuarant in Halifax so far. Good portion and authentic Chinese Edited Review After several visit for dine in, i faced a lot of old food sold to me i.e. BBQ duck, BBQ pork. So, i have to reduce stars to 3. ——- Hong Kong style. Recommend to try steamed ... chicken feet, deep fry taro (you need to ask for plum sauce), pork dumpling, fried noodle with sticky soup, Stewed beef brisket and BBQ duck. Service: Improving a lot after my 1st review. In order to get your order faster, recommend to come to Restuarant earlier. Read more

This restaurant has a great view of the Bedford Basin. The reception area is nicely decorated. The dinning room is spacious and you won't feel cramped between tables. The dimsum taste great. The beef with black bean sauce on rice noodle is bit on the oily side for my taste, ... otherwise I will give it 5 stars. Read more

The dead plant in the window should have been a clue that care is lacking here. The food is less than mediocre. The service unhelpful. Very few vegetarian options. Maybe the dim sum is better

We decided to go give the new location a try, specifically the dim sum on saturday. The newly renovated location is modern, nice and bright with a nice view. There are large round tables that can accommodate large groups as well. Firstly the food was excellent with some cavets ... (most of the food came out cold), the sesame seed rice ball filled with salted egg yolk was a standout. The BBQ pork buns had a nice filling and a good pork to bun ratio, however these came out luke warm, they should be hot. The pork bone congee was very tasty but again this came out cold but the flavor was great. The BBQ pork puffs were not bad with lots of pork but the amount of pastry should be more. My favorite dim sum item is rice rolls, they were good with a generous portion and nice sauce but again it was not hot. Ok now to talk about the service which is why this review only got 3 stars, and actually it's more like 2.5 stars. The service was terrible, we've been to Hong Kong and other parts of Asia where, while the servers are not the friendliest, they make up for it with efficiency, it was not found here. Also the restaurant was not packed so it's not like they were maxed out. We were there for at 30 minutes before we got any food and then the rest came very slowly, with the final item arriving after we asked the servers (yes we had to ask three times) to check. Nobody ever came back to let us know that they had looked into our missing item either, nor ever check to see how anything was, the communications was terrible. We will give it another try for sure because the food is that good and hopefully the service will improve since they just moved to the new location. I'd like to see the place do well. Read more
