This is a small place, but friendly service. The food did not take long to make was nice and hot and the flavor was delicious. Would definitely recommend to others to go. read more

I have heard rave reviews regarding 9+Nine but sadly, none of them lived up to their expectation. We ordered the dinner for 2 which comes with 'fried vegetables, egg rolls, chicken fried rice and ginger beef'. The chicken fried rice was very dry. It was bland with no flavour. The chicken flecks were hard and tasteless. It was cold. The fried veggies were basically only broccoli with one or two slivers of carrots. The ginger beef looked appealing but it was rubbery, hard to eat and tasted almost like soya sauce was poured over it - not a flatter taste in ginger beef. It was also very dry despite the amount of sauce. I was severely disappointed with my experience, however, they quoted me an hour and the delivery arrived within 20. Ordering. Was also simple and the were kind. Two stars for customer service. I don't think I'll be back though. read more

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Well, I gave 9 + Nine another go since the first time it was packed to the gills. Unsurprisingly, the crowds just after 5 on Super Bowl Sunday were pretty thin. Hunkering down and getting into their sizable, but not overwhelmingly large menu, my buddy and I went about ordering way too much food for two people. Our well rounded feast was comprised of shang dong steamed buns, ma po tofu, general's hot chicken, garlic stir fried veggies, and Cantonese noodles. Sipping on some jasmine tea, the general's hot chicken and steamed rice arrived first. My friend had been expecting the typical battered and sauced Tso/Tao/Tsu variety of chicken, but this dish had whole chunks of chicken breast mixed with veggies and dried chile's, and only lightly sauced in a non-orange, non-corn syrup sauce. However, we were both fine with our expectations being thwarted, as this more authentic (and healthy) version still had a spicy kick, but none of the cloying sweetness of your typical General _____'s chicken. The dishes came fast and quick after that. The stir fried veggies were tender crisp, with a pleasant garlicky hit, and got some green into a very meat-heavy order. Our ma po tofu was a delicious hot mess of large cubes of tofu, and minced pork in a light spicy, full of flavour, chile sauce. This type of dish just begs to be mixed with steamed rice. We had sampled some of the other dishes before getting into the shang dong steamed buns as they were a good size and we didn't want to fill up on one. The neatly folded buns were very generous with their filling, with less than a centimetre of dough surrounding the better part of a quarter pound of minced beef, mushrooms and glass noodles. Moist and flavourful, this was a damn fine steamed bun. The Cantonese noodles had an impressive mix of proteins, with chicken, shrimp, BBQpork, which were all impressively tender. The only slight downfall of this dish was that the noodles were given a too generous squirt of oil and were way too greasy. Service was really friendly and helpful, offering advice when prompted and quickly grabbing rice when we had forgotten to order it. I can see why 9 + Nine is spoken of with high regards, with a regular menu that is both unique and approachable, and dishes that are perfectly cooked. It seems that the answer to the equation of 9 + Nine = delicious. read more

If you're looking for your typical North American customized Chinese fix, then this is NOT your place. I suggest that you go to the ones you find in the busy side streets like Spring Garden Rd, Quinpool or near the waterfront. This place on the other hand serves authentic Chinese food. I know and I've tasted it myself. I read some reviews saying that food is bland, to them I say, its easy to put extra salt and call that food but finely crafted Chinese food takes acquired taste buds and surely not many people have that acquired taste. What amazes me about this place is that the cook is passionate about his cooking and changes his dishes from time to time. Have a little chat with the guy and his staff and you find out that he sources his ingredients from many places e.g. Farmers Market too. Little did I know that he went to visit my home country Malaysia 2 years ago and have incorporated some of the techniques from there. So yes, I'll come back to this place anytime whenever I miss home. read more

This still continues to be my one and only "go to" restaurant for AUTHENTIC Chinese (Cantonese) food. In fact, I'm sitting at a table right now re-reviewing this place, while waiting for me ginger beef and Singapore noodles... If you've not been here, you're seriously missing out. Get here and do it quickly. This small hole in the wall will change your palate forever.... (You're welcome) read more

The hallmark of a good ethnic restaurant? You are the only people not of that ethnic group who are eating there! We were the only non-Asian people eating at 9+Nine yesterday, so that tells you how authentic and tasty it is! We were hankering for some chinese food after a long hike and wanted to try a new place. We almost took our food home, but I'm so glad we decided to eat-in and experience the wonderful service and presentation. I believe it's a family that runs it - the mother and son (I'm assuming) were the ones mainly serving us and they were super friendly and attentive. Their timing was impeccable - each new dish arriving within minutes of us finishing the previous. It's a small place but very clean and well taken care of. You can tell they take a lot of pride in what they do. And the food! The best part of the food is that it's so much fresher than your average "Americanized" Chinese food - nothing is over-fried or loaded with salt and msg. The sauces all had just the right hint of heat and a great sweet/sour flavour mix. We ordered egg rolls, pork/veggie dumplings, Shanghai noodles, 3-mushrooms with beef and a side of plain rice. Everything was delicious and presented really nicely - the rice came in cute little stainless containers with tops and the noodles in a large wok - easy for serving. The beef and mushrooms were perfectly cooked and had lots of flavour. I would definitely recommend ordering a bunch of things and sharing amongst your table. Our bill was almost $60 + tip but considering the portions, and quality of the food and service, very reasonable (we took about half our food home). I think we found a new neighbourhood favourite! read more

9 + Nine - Shanghai noodles with 3 mushrooms and beef - Chinese Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Truly some of the best chinese food I've ever had. We went the day after a glowing review from Bill Spurr was posted in The Chronicle Herald. That being said, the restaurant was packed, and we had a bit of a wait. It's a pretty small space, and the decor is nothing exciting. But the service and the food were both amazing! Our server was more than happy explaining the menu items to us, and making suggestions. We ordered the steamed buns, sweet and sour chicken and beef with vegetables. First- the steamed buns! OMG - a must try. My newest addiction for sure. They come 6 to an order, and are fairly large (so go with a good appetite). They're filled with a delicious mixture of succulent beef, green onions, and some other yummy things. They're sort of fried on the bottom, and then steamed. The dough is soft and pillowey, with a slightly crunchy bottom. Where have these been all my life? My partner ordered the sweet and sour chicken, and I ordered the beef and veggies, with neither of us having any intent to share. The portions are so large that the moment they hit the table my boyfriend says, " So, we're sharing these right?". The chicken was delicious. It was lightly breaded, and was surrounded by veggies and amazing sauce. The beef came in long thin strips, with chinese broccoli, garlic & onions. It looked bland, but the taste was great! Dinner, including a chinese beer, a can of soda, tax and tip came to $58.00. Had we not been so hungry, we would have got 2 meals out of it. read more

Away from the touristy Halifax restaurants in a part of the city that seems more suburbia to these Torontonian eyes, is a gem of a restaurant in a strip mall. 9+Nine is a little 9 or ten table restaurant that serves a flavour of Chinese that has the authenticity of true Chinese cuisine. But look around and you will see the Chinese folks in the restaurant are ordering off menu. And their meals are the envy of the other folks who are ordering on menu. We did a mixture of both. Calling ahead to reserve a table, due to the tininess of the spot, I asked whether they had lobster. The woman at the other end of the phone line expressed they didn't but suggested we bring in a lobster and they would cook it up to our liking with a nominal fee. Great idea! We went to a fishermans market not far away and picked two one and quarter pound lobsters. Brought them in to the restaurant and they were ready for us. They asked us how we wanted it... Green onion and ginger of course! Perfect Chinese style lobster freshly bought from the market. And when the waiter brought our dish out to us we were suddenly even the envy of the other Chinese patrons in the restaurant. And our neighbouring table who commented on the proximity of all the tables when they were seated, practically drooled over our lobster. They were ordering from the menu. The food we ordered from the menu, vegetables and shrimp ( the shrimp were too small), and Singapore noodles were ok and most likely better than any other Chinese restaurant in the city. But really, if you are looking for authentic Chinese meal, know how to order your favourites and ask the chef for options. I've been told he's quite talented and looking to downscale, hence the smallness of the restaurant. But don't underestimate the largeness of the flavour when you want real Chinese flare. read more

We ordered Dinner for Two which included egg rolls, stir-fried veggies, chicken fried rice, and ginger beef. The ginger beef was a fried jumble of battered nothing that had no ginger flavour. (See photo.) We pulled apart several of the battered pieces trying to find the beef but found none. We called to complain but was not offered a replacement or refund. read more

9 + Nine - a bowl of soup, a bowl of meat, and a bowl of noodles - Chinese Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

I decided to try this place as it has really good reviews. I called to order delivery and they told me that the delivery fee would be really high and that picking it up would save me at least $10. So I picked it up and brought it home. I ordered a combo one (Chicken, rice, egg roll, veggies). It was not edible. The rice was dry, the chicken was also dry I poured my own sweet and sour sauce on and it still wasn't good, the eggroll was basically meat paste and it was alright. Ended up throwing the rest out. Also ordered veggie fried noodle and got a beef fried noodle, the noodles were very slimy and unpleasant near the end like a slimy soup. The initial bites were great. I also got a curry eggroll which was so spicy I didn't enjoy it (thought it would have a hint of spice like China Village Restaurant) It was way too spicy and this is coming from somebody who loves curry and puts it in a lot of cooking. Lastly I ordered boiled dumplings. Once again, I ate 2 and they were not good. The meat in the dumpling was grainy and the flavour was very bitter and on the 3rd dumpling I found a little black hair. I will not be back since I ended up tossing everything but the noodles and the non-curry eggroll. read more

My stomach is grumbling just thinking of 9 + Nine. Nestled away in the middle of Clayton Park is this absolute GEM of a restaurant. Throw out the idea of every Chinese place in North America. Gone is the grease. Gone is the small portions. Up with the authenticity. fresh ingredients, cooked to perfection. Sauces that could make your mouth water, and food to fill your belly for days. The only knock for this spot would have to be it's location. Basically a storefront.. but you cannot blame that on them. You can just thank me for the review (hah). The restaurant area is a little cramped, and a little randomly decorated... but it oddly gives even a more authentic feel. The staff is very friendly, and almost precious. Great people, and willing to accommodate a lot of requests and are very fun to converse with. The prices are well well worth the food. Unbelievable stuff. Have you left yet? read more

Every time I've been here it's been great. This isn't your average 'Chinese' food eatery - unlike the run of the mill restaurants, this place seems pretty authentic. The menus, signs & even the TV channels are all Chinese. They even serve Chinese beer. How great is that? I got the mixed vegetables, chicken fried rice & ginger beef. All were delicious, fresh and cooked just right. The vegetables had grill marks on them and slap you across the face with the garlic-y goodness. The ginger beef is flaky and delicious, the only bad thing about them was that they started to get a bit too sweet near the end. Service was excellent and prompt. Great experience overall! read more

Stunningly good - and I used to live in Toronto's Chinatown, so I've eaten a lot of Hunan, Sichuan, Cantonese, etc. over the years. What it is not: Canadian-Chinese. What it is: subtle flavours, fresh ingredients, light sauces, sudden punches of garlic or star anise or ginger or chile or black beans. I particularly like their mussels in black bean sauce, garlic stalk with shrimp, golden pocket bun, dry-fried green beans with minced pork, the plum sauce duck, the cumin beef, and the Singapore noodles. Do try it. read more

I've had food here three times now - two times eating in and once for take-out. I've never liked Chinese food (aka chicken balls in sticky gross red sauce) but 9 + Nine has changed my mind. The pan fried dumplings!!! The garlic scapes!!! The chili bean sauce on the table!!! I am a changed woman. read more

Ok so first of all I have never ate here so I can not speak to the food (although I have heard it is good from friends) BUT what I can speak to is the service, I called one night last week to ask how late they were open, the lady who answered the phone seemed bothered that I was asking her questions, but she did let me know that they were open instill 10pm 10pm sounded perfect, until i pulled up at 9:25 and the door was locked (hours were clearly posted and they were supposed to be open till 10pm). I could see there was a waitress standing behind the checkout so I called and her response was that the owner said they could close early, no apology just that they were closed. I do understand that things come up and it is not the end of the world but it is not great customer service, if they say they are open till 10 they should be open till 10, if something did come up and they had to close unexpectedly fine just treat your potential customers with more respect read more

I've ordered delivery from 9+Nine a couple of times now and have been raving about it to all my foodie friends. This is some seriously tasty, authentic Chinese food. Finally! You HAVE to try the Singapore Noodles. They are to die for. The ginger beef is also amazing and I'm on a green bean kick so I had to order the greens beans with spicy ground pork. Ermagherd. So delicious! And there is this dish called the Golden Pocket Bun. It's this giant spongey bun thing that you rip up (I think, that's how we did it anyway) and dip into what looks like a gross mushy meat concoction, but....Oh. My. God. Said meat dip is the most delicious thing ever. I had it the next day....alright, I'm lying, I had it 3 hours later on top of steamed rice and that alone made for the best leftovers ever. The only reason I am giving this place 4 stars instead of 5 is that I have yet to visit the actual restaurant, but I am totally going to. As soon as I can. read more

This is the best Chinese restaurant in Halifax. The food is excellent; flavorful and freshly prepared. Try the Ginger Beef, General Hot Chicken and House Special Rice, which are my favorites. This place is small and is almost always packed, so be patient when you go. Sometimes the service can be slow but I put this down to them being busy every time I have gone. The portion size is large for the cost of each dish. I would bring 3 or 4 people to get a good taste of all the dishes you will want to order and not have to lug all kinds of leftovers home. That's not a bad thing here, but it would be a better use of the limited seating I guess. The menu is small but of the dishes that I have tried so far they are all excellent. So I am ok with the small menu. I don't know why others don't like this restaurant, it is superb. I can't wait to go again. read more

We have eaten here twice recently. The first time we ordered off the menu, just by telling the chef to make us something with fish and vegetables. The food was delicious, well prepared from the freshest of ingredients. But we found it a little pricey, when we got the bill. We went back again the other night and ordered a la carte. Two vegetable dishes and a bowlful of white rice to share. The food was delicious and tasty, and well prepared, just like before. The bill came to $28 for 2 with tax, and that is more in my ballpark. In both cases, we had the same waitress and she is very nice, and very good at serving her clientel. The room is attractively decorated, and the restaurant is well patronized by Chinese families, a sign to me that the food is authentic and popular. We tried this restaurant on the basis of someone else's recommendation. I am happy to say now that we liked it very much!! read more

I found myself out in Clayton Park and decided to grab some take out from the Chinese restaurant everyone has been talking about. The strip mall setting is modest with about a dozen tables and the standard high backed chairs found in Chinese restaurants all over the HRM. While the takeout menu had lots of options for the adventurous with dishes containing sharkfin and jellyfish, I stuck with the more conventional Dinner for Four for my household of conservative eaters (a four and a six year old). While the dining room only had about four tables, the food took about a half hour to make. Perhaps there were a lot of take out orders? During my wait, the place filled up with Chinese university students. A sign that this place serves authentic Chinese food. The food (meat egg rolls, ginger beef, sweet and sour pork, cashew chicken, fresh vegetable mix and special rice) was all delicious. The special rice was fried rivce with a bit of everything: shrimp, egg, vegetables and some kind of meat. Everything was very fresh and piping hot. There aren't many places where you can get dinner for four including leftovers for $15/person. I'm definitely planning on going again to sample some of their steamed buns and some of their noodle dishes. Apparently the chef will also prepare off the menu dishes. That would be a treat. Great value and quality for the price. read more

Fantastic Authentic Chinese food, for decent prices. Super friendly staff. Dumplings are the best I have had! And the schewan shredded pork was fantastic:) The beef with veggies was a little bland, needed some sauce added to it. However the veggies were crisp and yummy. Will be heading back here! read more

This is the best Chinese restaurant in Halifax. This is coming from someone that has eaten a lot of Chinese cusine in various parts of the world. I only wish that I had discovered this place sooner and that I had not wasted my money at all the terrible Chinese restaurants around Halifax downtown area. I understand that the service here can be a bit slow on the busy nights but that is only because they have so many customers. read more

We went to Halifax in May. This is one of the best Chinese food I have ever had. The owner was very friendly, the food he recommended was delicious.

Curry eggrolls are amazing, the house rice was good once I put some salt and plum sauce on it otherwise it was bland and I don't think there was a drip of soy sauce in it. Mixed veggies with garlic were different and tasty. But the chicken balls if I can call them that we're small and all batter already soaked in sweet and sour sauce so they were mushy and gross. I've never had them served like this before. Curry eggrolls are where it's at here read more

I had read a lot about how good this place was supposed to be. Finally tried it tonight. Meh is the best I can say. Started with curry egg rolls. Good start. Nice and spicy. Then game the house special rice which was decent but overall pretty bland - luckily there were a number of sauces on the table. Sweet and sour chicken is supposed to be the best in the city. It's not. Try Jean's chicken. Much better. So much more flavour. Spicy beef was decent. Not anything special but better than the rest. Finally we had the pan fried dumplings. Heard this were delicious. The dumpling itself was good. Crispy on one side, soft on the other. But there was essentially a meatball in the middle. Reminded me of ikea meatballs. Ended with a plate of grapes (on the house - seemed weird). B Certainly didn't live up to the hype and far from the best Chinese in HRM - that still belongs to New Wing Wah hands down. read more

I tried this place because someone recommended it, they said it was the chef that use to work at Fran's in Dartmouth, which years ago, and I mean a few years ago, the food was excellent (before the expansion) I ordered a couple of dishes, one being their Ginger Beef. Usually, I can handle a sub par dish, this one was thin (very thin) slices of meat, not a lot of coating and very little sauce, in other words, not good at all, if this is the original Chef from Dartmouth, they have lost their flair .... sad really, very disheartening ... I was looking so forward to it, not a place I would return to. ps ... the chicken dish wasn't much better, thumbs down from me .... also, I can cook, so it's more disappointing. read more

What a hidden gem! Don't let the 'chain-style' name fool you. This is one of the best chinese food meals I have had in the city. You know when a place is packed at 8pm at night that you are in for a treat. If you are adventurous I definitely suggest the chicken strips and jellyfish! Probably one of the best salads I have had in awhile! I am actually considering ordering one for takeout for lunch tomorrow! read more

I would say, this restaurant has one of the best Chinese chefs in Halifax. This chef use to work at Fran's Restaurant in Dartmouth on Windmill way back when- ( now called Fan's). If your looking for tasty Chinese food, this is the GoTo spot in Clayton Park! read more

This could be a seasonal problem. Hope it is not the norm. I understand that it was an exceptionally busy night, but... The day before New Year's eve we placed an order for pick up at 7:00 PM NYE. Arrived at 6:50 to pick up our 7 o'clock food order and waited for one hour and 25 minutes for our what turned out to be mediocre food. The portion sizes were disappointing for the money paid. The spring rolls were the size of a roll of lifesavers and less tasty. Not really impressed. The true judge of how good a restaurant is, is how good their food is when they are under pressure. Big failure in my opinion. read more

This is my favourite Chinese place in town. I think a lot of people expect the sickeningly sweet, MSG-laden food elsewhere and give it low reviews. What you will get here is fresh veggies, subtle flavours, no grease - just how the food is supposed to actually taste. I have eaten here numerous times, even taken my brother-in-law from China here. He has raved about how it is how northern Chinese food is supposed to taste. They are polite, the service is great - I would caution to call in advance if you have more than 3 or 4 people, though. read more

Had been hearing good things, so we figured why not give it a try? The restaurant itself is quite small and cramped (nine tables, plus one larger table that can accommodate nine customers seated in a group or in pairs around it - which was my guess at the restaurant name), bathroom is small, awkward and not too clean. Based on the customers, I believe it is safe to assume that the food is prepared in a more traditional way than the popular "American/Canadian" style. Everything was very fresh, especially the green pea dish that was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I did find the beef a little bland, but really enjoyed that there was not an unnecessarily thick batter on the chicken like so many other places. You taste the food, not a bunch of salt or a greasy after taste. It also didn't cause you to feel that "heavy/bloated" feeling after you eat at a lot of other Chinese restaurants, which was nice. I did find that unless you order a pre-designed dinner, it was a bit pricy to get a variety of things to try, yet not large portions so leftovers are not guaranteed. The real downside, is that everything staggers out of the kitchen, so the meal could not be enjoyed together. We got one thing, ate it, waited for another, etc. It made for a long dinner, but gave lots of time to peek at what others were ordering - the fried fish in brown sauce or sweet & sour sauce seemed to be extremely popular. Overall, fresh ingredients and clean flavors, just wish the timing of it all was better. read more

Not too much English spoken here, as is typical in a good Chinese joint. Usual hole/wall micro-mall ethnic joint atmosphere (which sure as fuck isn't why you'd go to a place like this). Friendly and quick service. Szechuan shredded pork delicious but not near as hot as it should be; General Hot chicken also not sufficiently spicy (guess I should've begged and begged) and also has bones in the nuggets (which was a bit painful and disconcerting on first bite). The dish was tasty (though not as sweet as one expects) but a bitch to eat as each lump was like an irregular chicken wing, covered with slippery sauce. Rice delicious. Anyway, go, enjoy. I'll be back. read more

Honestly, I was disappointed. From the reviews I was expecting the food to be better. It was just okay. Food was not warm when opened after going straight home with it. It was confusing where our food was...food order pickups were in bags on several different tables in the restaurant. I was specifically asked how many fortune cookies I wanted and when I got home there were none. Not a great experience. read more

This is an amazing Chinese restaurant. The food is very authentic and flavorful. The menu is very diverse, there are new items to try that many people may not have had the opportunity to try at a more typical "Canadian Chinese" restaurant. Once you have been here, you will never want to go to any other Chinese restaurant. We have tried the following items: Ma Po Tofu (delicious and spicy!), Ginger Beef (sweet, fresh gingery and crispy!), The halibut hot pot, fried noodles, Dan Dan noodle soup (very tasty), general hot chicken (my fiance loved this- it did have bones for those who prefer boneless chicken dishes), house friend rice (very nice), and beef with three kinds of mushrooms (also very yummy!). We have seen a lot of people there ordering the duck and a deep fried lobster dish which both look amazing. The only bad thing about the restaurant is the lack of space- it is so good that it is always packed and you have to wait for a table and there is not a lot of space to wait. I recommend calling ahead for a reservation or going after or before the dinner rush (before 6:00pm or after 8:00pm) Everyone should try this place! You will not be disappointed! read more

Had a great small dinner there- good service, great food at a reasonable price. Continues to be my fav chinese! read more

This was my first experience at this restaurant. Because I work in the local area, my fellow colleagues were ranting and raving about this place. But when I arrived there, I had a negative experience. I ordered 2 curry egg rolls and a combo #3 for lunch. When items came out, I was not given the curry egg rolls. When I ask the waitress, she said that "I didn't say curry egg rolls". But after my 5 other colleagues attested that I did, I just gave up and just ate the crappy regular egg rolls. Food was the typical fast-Chinese. If I wanted good Chinese,; I should have went to Canton Garden, Hong's Kitchen, or Fan's Restaurant. The food was overly seasoned with MSG... I could taste it because the fried noodles had the taste of packaged ramen. I will definitely NOT be returning here, and will be sharing my negative experiences with other people. read more

Nine+9 has been my go-to Chinese restaurant ever since I discovered it a few years ago when I moved into the neighbourhood. That being said, it's not your typical Chinese food...the dishes aren't greasy, the flavours are very authentic, and the portions aren't astronomical. The staff is always friendly and eager to help explain something if you are unsure as to what it is. There isn't much seating if you are dining in, so you may have to wait for a table. I would recommend calling ahead if there are more than 4 of you (I always get take-out). A little bit more on the food...the veggies are always fresh and the prefect amount of crisp, the rice has never been greasy, and you can taste the ingredients in their dishes. There are visible pieces of garlic in their beef and broccoli, and the beef in that dish is thinly sliced and is less fatty than other places. Their ginger beef is a thinly sliced pieces of beef, lightly battered, tossed in an amazing ginger sauce that is light in colour, and also has pieces of peppers and carrots mixed in. It is my favourite dish on their menu. I must say, I've not been disappointed by anything from this restaurant. I know it might be a little out of the way for some people, but it's well worth the trip! read more
