May Garden – Dartmouth - Halifax, Nova Scotia

I really wish I looked up the reviews of this before I order on Skip, just paid $50 for the worst Chinese food I’ve had, it was gray, flavourless and the packages were filled to the brim with watery liquid. Absolute trash and if they keep it yup they will ... hopefully be out of service soon. Garbage food. Read more

Ordered takeout for my nephew to pick up and I put his name as the pick up person for the order. He arrived to pick up the order and was told that there wasn’t an order for him. He waited one hour for the restaurant to figure out that they ... did in fact have his order. I had sent him the text confirmation and he had the phone number of the order but it still took the restaurant one hour to determine that they did in fact have the order which by then had been sitting for one hour and was therefore stone cold when it was finally given to him. Update. Nephew ate his General Guy Chicken and let me know it was not at all like the chicken on the website and that the sauce was not good at all. Probably tasted worse due to the fact it was cold. I haven’t received feedback for the 2 combo plates that the others ate. Restaurant food is expensive. I am not happy when I feel like I have wasted my money. I always add a tip on take out orders, but I wished I had not rewarded this negative experience with a tip. We have ordered take out from Modern Orchid Dartmouth Crossing for pickup by another party and have never encountered any problem.Their food has always been hot and delicious and very reasonably priced.

I went to eat here a lot during the earlier hours of the day. It was very quiet and pleasant, and the food was fantastic. The waiters were very chatty and interested in learning a little about us. Although I do not live in the area, this restaurant and the ... food are one of the major things I miss and will revisit when I am back in the area. Read more

Stopped by briefly for a quick bite. Egg roll was good I enjoyed the plum sauce but I have no idea what the filling inside was. Atmosphere reminds me of an authentic Chinese restaurant. Waitstaff was extremely quick but we were also the only ones in the restaurant.

Honestly not bad. The ordered a few dishes, egg rolls, hot and sour soup and a black bean beef dish. The egg roll was good, well filled and reasonably priced. The roll was crispy but not hard. The hot and sour soup was excellent. Had BBQ pork slices in it and lots of ... wood ear. It had a good tang! The black bean beef stir fry. This was ok, the ratio of peppers and onion to beef was a bit much. The portion size was good but really could use more beef and less peppers. The black bean sauce was excellent though, salty good blackbean! Service was top notch! They were quick and courteous, and exceptionally thoughtful. They brought us spare soup bowels to share and seperate plates for us to share the dishes. Interior was very good, felt like an older chinese restaurant, but otherwise clean and well spaced. The fish tank at the centre of the restaurant was also a nice touch. Parking, it's all street parking in the area but that is par for the course as it's downtown. Read more
