Star Anise Vietnamese Noodles Restaurant - Halifax, Nova Scotia

I tried this restaurant two years ago, and just today when I was passing by from work and decided on savory soup noodles for my dinner. But the taste and dining experience was completely awful, no service, the staff was busy on uber eats, the ambience smelled of grease and there ... was playing annoying EDM! The most unbearable thing was the taste, very very bad Vietnamese noodles, rare beef tasted terrible, the noodles tasted very plain, the portion was extra small but expensive! This restaurant is nothing like it was 2 years ago, it's terrible! Read more

Worst pho I had in Canada. Soup is tasteless, noodle is bland. Bean spouts and lemon already on the noodle instead of side. Lastly why there is chicken breast on a beef pho?? Whole thing is not worth the money. Only good thing is the waitress lady was nice and ... the can of coke taste like coke. Will never order from this place again Read more

I ordered grill chicken with rice vermicelli plate on the lunch menu. HOWEVER, the chicken are not grilled :’(((( the overall taste is not bad. The atmosphere of the restaurant is good, but I think food would be the most important thing for a restaurant. Kinda disappointed on their grill ... chicken with rice vermicelli plate, it can be better :’( Read more

I am a tourist and love to support local businesses. Just wanting to see the bad rating was truthful. It is and please stay away. The owner lie the us dollar is 1/1 to Canadian exchange rate. I will rethink supporting other local Asian business from ... now on. Foods was bad compare to Las Vegas. Thank for the experience. I am Chinese from Las Vegas, Nevada. Read more

Decent Asian food at a decent price, but I would not consider this as an authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Our dishes were served fairly quickly, and tasted ok, but nothing that really stands out. Simple dishes that seemed more Chinese than Vietnamese.
