    I have eaten at Fan's a few times, more in the past than the present. But each time it was great food. Large portions and lots of spicy choices on the menu. Fan's is busy at lunch time, they get a lot of traffic from the dealerships around. I like the sauces at Fran's , and especially like the way they do their sweet and sour chicken.

    If you're open to new things and enjoy really good Chinese food than you'll love Fan's. To begin, the restaurant itself, doesn't really look like a typical Chinese restaurant. The restaurant is actually quite big - almost warehouse like. But don't let that deter you, it still manages to give that cozy feeling inside. The food is delicious - I have yet to try anything from there that I didn't like. To my knowledge, they don't offer egg-rolls, but instead they offer spring rolls. The spring rolls are very light-tasting and are served with a freshly made plum sauce. The plum sauce is very tasty, but is quite different from any other plum sauces that you may have had as it contains ginger which adds a certain little tang to it. The plum sauce, like many of their sauces, is freshly made from scratch. You will never leave Fan's with an empty stomach. The food proportions are overly generous, and very reasonably priced with many combo specials under $10.

    I am a vegetarian and I am pleased to have a good Asian food spot nearby my workplace. It has amazing food and they do take few customisation request on the meals. I ordered a combo meal which has rice and I wanted it to be substituted with noodles and they did it with extra cost of 2$.. I loved the dish and the service here. It's pretty good. If you like Asian food specially Chinese delicacies - this is the place to try. Also the staff is extremely polite and after serving me my dish the guy working there also checked if my dish is fine.. I really enjoyed my meal and the service.

    a variety of asian food

    Recently moved to HRM from Toronto and I have been on the hunt for authentic, amazing Chinese food. I kept looking for reviews online and in groups, and consistently kept hearing about Fan's. Today, I took the family for dim sum and it was amaaaaazing We will definitely be back! One of the dishes I miss from Toronto is Yueh Tung's spicy lobster and then we saw it on the menu today. That's what we're going to order next time!!

    Fan's Chinese Restaurant is located not far from the Ship Victory, so my comment about a captive audience works for this restaurant too. Close by are car dealerships and government agencies, all looking for a quick lunch at a fair price. Fan's takes a concept and runs with it. Their tagline is Northern Chinese cooking but I have to confess that I don't know what this means with respect to mainstream Chinese food. Fan's offers a wide variety of dishes to tempt you, and I have to say that their vegetable dishes are delicious. I'm not a fan of the Hot and Sour soup, but I hear that's a matter of taste anyways. I've had a number of items from Fan's, but my favourite remains the chicken with mushrooms - lots of varieties of mushrooms mixed in with tender chicken breasts and other Chinese vegetables. The sweet and sour chicken is tasty chunks of chicken breast in their own batter served up with an amazing sauce. I know that other places often do sweet and sour dishes, but Fan's outclasses all of them. If you stop into Fan's, be sure to check out the live turtle pond! (Note: Fan's closes Monday to Friday from 2:00 - 5:00, and Saturdays and Sundays from 2:00 - 4:30.)

    Fan's Restaurant - located in Shannon Plaza at 451 Windmill Road, Dartmouth There must have me about 25 to 30 of family that took my parents to Fan's restaurant for their Anniversary. I have never been to this location before but my sister recommend this as the best Chinese food in Dartmouth. So off we go. It was packed by the time that all the family arrived and the orders started being placed. On thing that I did like was that the menu was coded as to the amount of spice that each dish contained and if you have read my review before you know that I am a spicy lover. We order some basic dished for the kids, fried rice, chicken balls, egg rolls as well as spring rolls. The adults then dove into the good wild dishes like Hot Satay Sauce Fried Noodle coded with two hot peppers. For the seafood lovers they have great shrimp dishes as well as Szechuen Style Scallops. For those of you who do not eat meat there is a vegetable and Tofu menu that consists of Stir Fried Garlic Stalk or the Mushroom with deep fried tofu. On my journeys I have tried and tasted better but that might just be me. Because I have been told my many that are from Dartmouth that Fan's specializing in Northern Chinese Cuisine is the place to go. Prices are similar to other Chinese location a meal under $20.00 unless you are having the lunch time special.
