    East Coast Dumpling House - Stir Fried beef Ramen

    Cole Harbour Road may be a soulless stretch of asphalt and strip malls, but there are some…read moreinteresting, locally-owned businesses amongst the sea of carbon copy chains. East Coast Dumpling House is one of those diamonds in the suburban rough, and their namesake specialty is what put them up near the top of my hit list. My wife and I stopped in for a weekend lunch while running errands in the area, and although the restaurant was empty when we showed up, a few more tables showed up and quickly filled up the small space. Being our first time here, we went all-in on the dumplings - pan-fried pork with bok choy, and steamed xiao long bao. I was really happy to see soup dumplings on the menu as they're a rarity, even in bigger markets than Halifax. We tacked on an order of edamame to ostensibly have a proper vegetable with our meal. The salty beans came out quickly, and we picked away at them as we chatted and eagerly waited for our dumplings. Being first in line to order meant that we didn't have to wait long though. The pan-fried pork dumplings came with a lovely lattice on them, which really amped up the crispness of the dumplings, while they still maintained soft, pliable wrappers on their other side. The pork inside was well-seasoned, tender and moist, and although not soup dumplings, there were some squirts of juice as we bit into them! We didn't have Chinese spoons to cradle the xiao long bao as you go through the process of eating them (nibble the top to let them cool down, slurp broth through said hole, then devour), but we made do with small dipping bowls. The broth was meaty and savoury, with a viscous mouthfeel, and each dumpling was a delight. A return visit saw us coming by on a Friday evening, with a couple tables already occupied and takeout orders steadily coming and going. The food took a little longer this time, but was well worth the wait. They were out of udon noodles, so we went with the Singapore noodles. The tender egg noodles had a heavy dose of curry powder and a hint of sweetness, and the added chicken was tender and moist, with a touch of colour from the wok. We couldn't not get some dumplings, and our order of xiao long bao were just as good the second time around. We also tacked on an order of chicken bao to round out our meal. The bao had a non-traditional feel (or one I'm not familiar with, which is just as likely) with the bao bun having been fried, and shredded lettuce coming in it as well. Pickled cucumber and julienned carrot were more typical, and some hoisin sauce added a layer of sweet and savoury. East Coast Dumpling House has standard Chinese-Canadian fare, but their standout dishes are the ones that are their namesakes and other authentic dishes, and it's those that make ECDH worth the trip to Cole Harbour.

The sushi is always amazing, I recommend the salmon maki and the tuna, so fresh and tasty. Our server was very friendly and we had a nice conversation! Overall such a great experience and she even gave us some complimentary sweet potato tempura! The pricing was also very reasonable... go check it out

However; my last three orders from them have been terrible and costly. The first time, I ordered the king crab, which was markedly more expensive and received imitation. I ordered tuna belly and they asked to replace it with tuna with no compensation for the difference in cost after I agreed. I swept this under the rug. The next order; as an appetizer I ordered softshell crab appetizer, they sent the roll, again I swept it under the rug. This third order was the straw that broke the camels back: I'm done. My order compared to what I got, is in in the pictures. Ordered spicy salmon roll - got Tuna Maki. Ordered Negi-Hamachi (suppose to be yellow tail and green onion), got a salmon roll. Not maki with avocado or even tempura bits; just rice and salmon. Vast cost difference. I got the Alaskan roll I ordered, but that is mine and the other two are my kids rolls, so I clearly won't eat in front of them. I'm done. Something is seriously wrong there and at this point it's a waste of money.

Halifax is beautiful, no doubt--but if you're someone who needs a kick of chili in your food (and your soul), the city can feel like a spice desert. Enter Pho Maniac. We spotted it thanks to the red chili-laced photos plastered on the window. That alone was enough to pull us in. And thank god we did--because this place delivers on heat. Not the mild, tamed-down-for-tourists kind either. Real spice. Actual flavor. The food scene in Halifax is trying to grow, but let's be honest--it's mostly tailored for white folks and cruise ship passersby. If your palate grew up on sambal, Sichuan, or scotch bonnets, most of this city will leave you unbothered and unsalted. But Pho Maniac? A mirage turned real. The place was packed with Asian diners and the one off-white wanderer who knew what's up. That's always a good sign. The broth? Deep, rich, and fiery. It hits the spot you forgot Halifax had. I still couldn't see myself living here long-term--because spicy food is non-negotiable--but at least Pho Maniac made the week feel less bland. In a city of boiled lobster and beige seasoning, this little joint reminded me my taste buds were still alive.

    It's funny returning to Halifax and seeing new restaurants replace old faves, as is the case of Pho…read moreManiac in the space formerly occupied by New Asia. One day at work, I was looking for lunch and Pho Maniac came up in a scan of nearby spots. While they're a pho place, I didn't want to get the inevitable soup splashes on my work clothes, so I went with the banh mi for takeout. Taking my spoils back the office, I unfurled the sandwich bag to see what was inside. Wrapped tightly in plastic, the banh mi seemed a bit narrow, but it was longer than the sort of banh mi you get at specialty shops for a few bucks each (at least in pre-pandemic pricing) in bigger cities. It was very meat-heavy, loaded with strips of grilled pork (they also have beef and chicken). The pork had a nice flavour from the grill and a bit of fish sauce funk, balanced out by a hint of sweetness from the pickled carrots. Some Thai basil and green onion added pops of vegetal freshness. It was hard to get a good feel for the bun, as the heat of the pork and the plastic wrap steamed it, so the trademark crispness of a banh mi bun was lost. A paper wrap would definitely be an improvement. A return visit had me rolling the dice on pho splashes, going with tender beef and flank pho. I'm not sure what cut "tender beef" is, as tenderloin isn't typically found in pho, but I would guess brisket, which is much more common. I got it as takeout and assembled it in a bowl I had at work, but you could easily use the one they give you. Said bowl comes with the noodles, beef and toppings (bean sprouts, lime, Thai basil, hoisin and chili sauces) in it, while a second container had the broth. The flank and (likely) brisket weren't particularly discernible from one another, but both were nice and tender, and reasonably portioned. The many accoutrements added layers of flavour to the already tasty pho. The broth was beef-forward, with hints of star anise and other spices, and had a pleasant viscosity that suggested that Pho Maniac is likely boiling bones to make their own broth. It was good enough for me to straight up drink the broth that remained unused for the noodles after I had finished those! My regular-sized pho was a good portion for a satisfying, but not heavy, lunch. While I'm sad that New Asia has moved on, Pho Maniac is a solid spot in its own right, and I look forward to many work lunches to come!
