Cool interior with a jungle/forest motif with monkeys and snakes all over the place. Nice terrace overlooking the boardwalk and harbour front that would be amazing in the Summer. Will definitely come back to try a formal lunch or dinner in the future.

I decided to come back later that evening and I'm glad I did just that. The staff was extremely friendly and was happy to find me a table for one. I ordered a spring roll with meat, wonton soup, and the beautiful waitress recommended Spicy Beef No.15. This was a fantastic dish that I will remember because the Beef was cooked perfectly tender and it had the right amount of heat. Stop by and try it for yourself.

After dropping my car off for some work at a nearby garage, I popped over to Fan's to try out this…read morenew-to-me restaurant. Strolling in just as the small, midweek lunch crowd was starting to peter out, I was sat by the window in the expansive dining room. The finishes in the room felt a bit newer than many of their peers', with the exposed duct work and ceiling having a modern black finish, plus nice light fixtures, and a lovely mural of a lake on the far wall. Fan's menu has an interesting mix of legit Chinese dishes, dim sum, and the inescapable Chinese-Canadian food. It's likely quite necessary in an area where I'm guessing that a lot of the workers and residents don't have a palate for the more authentic Chinese dishes, and you can't fault Fan's for the hustle. I had been hoping that more of the dim sum dishes would be available during the week, but it seems like it's only on the weekend, so I resigned myself to an order of dumplings and one of the chef's specials, garlic beef and gailan, plus an order of steamed rice. The dumplings may not have been the prettiest, with uneven folds and somewhat inconsistent shapes, but these were chunky bois, and with nine to an order for $13, it's a helluva deal too! The filling was the standard pork and chive, and the meat was tender and juicy, without being rubbery and overcooked. Arriving while I was only a few dumplings deep, the garlic beef and gailan was a sight to behold! A velvety-smooth sauce coated strips of beef, onions and mushrooms, as well as the verdant gailan. The snap of the thick, but tender-crisp, stems made for a sharp contrast against the wonderfully tender beef. The garlic featured prominently in the flavour of this savoury dish, of course, but didn't overwhelm. My next time there had me coming back during the spring festival, celebrating a somewhat late New Year with my wife as we always do - by ordering way too much Chinese food for two people. First up were the egg rolls - done in the Halifax-style (aka the unflatteringly-named "meat paste" style), these hefty egg rolls had a nice hit of curry powder for flavour and the cute bottle of seemingly house-made plum sauce was a nice touch. Our main courses came in quick succession afterward. Beef and broccoli was spot-on with slices of beef that were once again perfectly tender, plus crispy florets of broccoli and a rich, salt and savoury sauce slathering it all. The Shanghai noodles with shredded pork may not be the most visually-appealing dish, but the flavour was fantastic, as a prominent layer of smoky wok hei enveloped the thick noodles and strips of pork and cabbage. You don't always see it on Chinese menus in Halifax, so we had to get the mapo tofu. We were very glad that we did, as it was one of the best that we've in the city! Although it didn't have a strong layer of funk or Sichuan-peppercorn-induced tingling, the great mix of flavours was still very satisfying - earthy wood ear mushrooms, pops of spice from chilis, the sweet and savoury pork sauce, and again a welcome hit of wok hei. Fan's cooks undoubtedly know what they're doing with a wok! A platter of assorted stir fried veggies added some more vegetable content to our meal and was well-executed. Fan's is firing on all engines with a welcoming space, friendly and attentive staff, and a mix of authentic and Chinese-Canadian dishes that given equal attention and care, elevating themselves in a crowded field. PS. Not only is their website impressively built compared to local peers that generally don't have one at all, they've got a very sizable menu of gluten-free dishes, which is *very* uncommon among Chinese food place, so let the celiacs in your life know!

Our waiter was very attentive and polite. the rest of the food was adequate both in temperature and quantity, but it was nothing to return for. Pretty blah food.

While it has never been the same quality that I experienced and enjoyed in the states, it has been edible. So, on Thursday night after a night of karaoke, we decided to go to the Bedford restaurant to get takeout. She ordered the #8 (her usual) with beef fried rice. I decided to have the General Guy's with an order of combination fried rice. Unfortunately, immediately afterward I had a serving, I got the worst case of stomach pain and issues and I knew it could only be from the food I had just eaten. My fiancé commented at the time that she was just fine. Fast forward to the next day she had the exact same experience and it has lasted for beyond 2 days for her. The gruesome feeling of food contamination is horrible so I refrain from being graphic. Nonetheless, the fact that the staff was very polite and seemingly efficient, we will not be eating at this location again. Just as a reminder to the restaurant, please ensure that your staff follow the rules of good hygiene and respect the safety of food preparation and sanitation in your service.

It was an awkward place to be seated, so I requested another table. The next table she put us at had glaring sunlight in everyones eyes , to the extent we ended up asking to move again. At this point, the server was acting as if it was an inconvenience to her to have us comfortable. After about 20 minutes of waiting for the hostess to return, someone in my party asked if we could have beverages. Up until then, no one had even come by to offer us water. The hostess snarked and said "We take drink and food orders at the same time here!". This is ridiculous - any reasonable place should at least bring water while you are looking through the menu. The food was mediocre - standard westernized chinese food. The ginger beef had too much sugar in it and gosh knows whats in the egg rolls. I like to call this style of egg roll the mystery mushy meat eggroll. Overall, the server made this place awful. Her table service and attitude was not acceptable, even for an average chinese food place.
