Looking over the menu, I thought Combo 4 would be great since I usually enjoy ginger beef (when it's done right - like Frederick's in Scarborough). Unfortunately, I don't think that's the case for Fan's Restaurant. First, I thought the batter on the beef was quite tough - the pieces were all clunky together. Seasoning-wise, I was also expecting something more ginger-forward, but it tasted more like a generic sweet flavour. Nothing really stood out. Also, I'm not sure why there was so much liquid in my box - perhaps from the beef? Or the vegetables? The bottom of my rice was almost giving me a soupy brothy rice situation (and it was not exactly a delightful broth). Surprisingly, I enjoyed the fried rice quite a bit (other than the fact that it was soaked at the bottom). It had a nice wok hei to it, and I was honestly hoping there'd be more rice! The meal came to around $18 plus tax, so I wouldn't say it's the cheapest Chinese meal out there, especially considering it was a lunch special. All in all, I think it was okay, but not the best. I'd love to give it another shot next time I'm in town, doe. The restaurant itself seems to be quite nice. It got a koi pond!!! We need to bring these back seriously. The service was standard.

I have heard rave reviews regarding 9+Nine but sadly, none of them lived up to their expectation…read more 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.

Finally made it to King Town. Food was good. Server was great! Shame on me for forgetting her name…read more We went at lunch. Place was empty, which I love. I had chicken fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, chicken chow mein and spicy Shanghai noodles. Oh and wonton soup. My Aunt had the lemon chicken, spring rolls and Singapore noodles. So much was leftover, so I will be eating all night and into tomorrow. The rice is phenomenal. The egg rolls are bland. So was the plum sauce. Sweet and sour chicken balls were very good. Wonton soup was good but a little bland. The Shanghai noodles were delicious! They are not included in the pics. I tried the Singapore noodles they were good too. I loved how much filling was in the egg rolls, but it just needs the flavor kicked up a bit. Maybe some sesame oil, or a pinch of curry.

The vegetables were crunchy and fresh- nothing like other places that steam and warm theirs. The beef had an amazing ginger flavour - unlike anything I've ever had anywhere else.

The service staff was friendly and the food was served in a very timely manner. I've been looking for a place like this in the Halifax /Dartmouth area. Give them a try !

I was craving Chinese food for supper. I really wanted Beat Choice, but it was around rush hour so…read moreI opted for Heng Fung as it would get here faster. Big mistake. The bag was heavy, which made me think ok, huge portions. Well the portions weren't bad, but since when do you get 4 small chicken balls. I'm used to getting 5 usually. The chicken chow mein, the bean sprouts were not fresh. I'm leaning towards canned maybe? There was no crunch to them at all! The egg rolls were good. The rice, meh. Now let's talk about the beef and broccoli. The beef, oh my goodness! It was like chewing on a deflated balloon. All rubber! The " sauce" if I can call it that, was water. Not one ounce of cornstarch was used. I have attached a picture of that. It's the one that looks like dishwater. Overall, the food was not good, even the next day. I should have been more patient and ordered from Best Choice.

The #9 combo consist of an egg roll sweet-and-sour chicken balls, house chop suey, which is to die for, house fried rice mixed with shrimp, barbeque pork and chicken. The #16 combo consist of an egg roll, sweet-and-sour chicken balls, beef with broccoli and chicken fried rice. Included in the picture is an order of Singapore Vermicelli which includes shrimp, barbeque pork, egg, mixed vegetables, and curry sauce, and it was delicious. The egg rolls are not shown in the pic. Sorry. They are delicious as well. Delivery from Fairview to North end Halifax was 45 mins. Not bad at all and the food was piping hot! I was bragging about Best Choice to my Uncle. He went there for his birthday. They gifted him a set of chopsticks in a case. Very beautiful and such a kind gesture. I will continue to sing their praises. I love love love the food at Best Choice!**** The sweet and sour sauce comes in cups and I had not yet applied to the chicken balls*****

I don't think there is anything on the authentic menu that I don't like. We always order take-out, so I have not eaten in. Getting a large order from the authentic menu is a little slow, but the food is worth it. It is hard to find a place in Halifax that offers real Chinese food. I am very happy that we discovered Best Choice - we've been ordering happily for a few years now.

Chinese food has long been a takeout staple for Canadians, and while places come and go, there's…read morestill a lot of long-time fixtures that have been keeping busy families fed, including Cole Harbour's HK Wong's. Despite having a decent amount of seating in their restaurant, Wong's has been takeout-only since the pandemic, with a sign on the window warning as much, although the continued format is now due to staffing issues. Armed with this knowledge, I placed an order (over the phone and aided by shots of the menu on Google - they're not the most technologically-enabled business), and our food was ready in short time despite being the last Sunday before the holidays. We were hanging out with a friend and wanted plenty of leftovers for the week, so we went heavy on variety. Egg rolls were a must, as were Shanghai noodles, beef and Chinese broccoli for some more substantial protein, Buddhist delight for veg, mapo tofu, and BBQ pork fried rice. Even though Chinese food is intrinsically associated with takeout in people's minds, some dishes fare better than others in that format. I try to avoid most fried or battered foods, as they absorb sauces or steam in their own heat and lose their crispness. When I got home with our food, our assortment of options quickly took up all the real estate on our plates once we had a little bit of each dish. I know I just went on about fried foods and takeout/delivery, but egg rolls, while always better right out of the kitchen, often come in a paper bag which allows some moisture to pass through. The wrappers still maintained some crispness, and the Halifax style of meat paste filling had a pleasant flavour of curry powder. Mapo tofu is a dish of bite-sized cubes of silken tofu with ground pork in a sauce that typically has layers of sweet, savoury, spicy and a little funky. While I was happy to see it on the menu at all, Wong's definitely pulls their punches here for their suburban Dartmouth clientele with very little spice, no discernable tingle of Sichuan peppercorns and no funk. The lack of depth was disappointing, but it wasn't a bad dish, just not living up to its potential. Shanghai noodles have become one of mine and my wife's go-to dishes, with the thick noodles making for fun slurping. The sauce was an inoffensive mix of sweet and salty, and there was a very mild note of wok hei to it. The beef and Chinese broccoli was exactly as advertised, with wonderfully tender slices of velveted beef and crispy stalks of Chinese broccoli tossed in a light, garlic-heavy sauce. It's always good to get some more veg content into a very carb and meat-heavy meal, and the Buddhist delight delivered with tender-crisp assortment of the earth's bounty. Last, but not least, the BBQ pork fried rice had a good amount of diced cha siu, and a better hit of smoky wok hei than the noodles had. At ~$80 after tax, and still under $100 after tip, this hearty feast provided dinner for three, plus a few other meals for two afterward. HK Wong's isn't recreating the wheel by any stretch of the imagination, but their menu does have more true Chinese dishes in the "Chef's Specials" section of the menu than some of their peers. People's taste buds are much more adventurous than they were 20 years ago, and when combined with the solid hands in their kitchen, leaning into bigger, more authentic flavour profiles would help this CH staple stay around for years to come.
