Their food was great the first time we eat in but then we ordered lots of take out and it was one of the worst tasting food that my wife and I ever had to pay for to eat. We ordered five dishes and all of them were burnt and over cooked, dry and tasteless. If a restaurant can't be consistent with their food that God help them. read more

Great Chinese food for sure. Love the dinner for 2 , started getting it during COVID, and continued getting it when we can't dine in. It's our Valentines dinner tonight. read more

It was the best Chinese food I've ever had in my life. And the service was amazing. It was very nice in there.

We arrived into the outskirts of Shelburne around 9PM on a Saturday night and checked into our motel first. We asked the desk clerk if there was anyplace in town to grab some dinner and we were told Tim Horton's 24-7 out on Hwy 103 was open. I like Tim Horton's, but for coffee and light fare only. We were starving after a long drive! We drove into town, pitch black outside and every place looked closed, except for a couple takeout pizza places and mini marts, and then we saw Luong's Restaurant. We decided to take our chances with Chinese food in this sleepy town. Luong's was still serving food until 10PM! The dining room looks very homey, wood walls painted red, green, and white, assorted Chinese decor, and red covered table seating, very X-mas like. The menu offers Chinese and Canadian cuisine (sandwiches & comfort foods), but we stuck to the Chinese food. I got a combo plate of chicken chow mein, sweet & sour shrimp, fried rice & and egg roll. Most of the food was decent, dishes made to order, except for the egg roll, which was the kind I'd buy at the surpermarket and filled with hot oil. Luong's Restaurant saved us from having to settle for Tim Horton's for dinner. The meal was decent, far from Vancouver quality Chinese food, but good enough for us after a long day. The service was good and the price was right, $22.30 before HST & tip for two Chinese combo dinners and two diet pops. We did go to Tim Horton's afterwards for coffee. read more

See all

Love this place, we keep going there for years. Great beef dishes, either ginger, curry or Szechuan. Lots of fresh veggies go into the wok. Also try the 'Fried Rice with Mushrooms' or the 'steamed Broccoli'. To comment on a previous negative response, don't go to a Chinese restaurant like this and then complain about the French fries or the burgers. read more

This place is good if all you want is small-town Chinese/Canadian food. Pretty greasy, but good prices. There's a weekend buffet as well. Most locals still refer to Luong's as Tai Woo, the former name of this place. There are, however, two things that stand out on the menu: hot & sour soup, and the Singapore noodles. The hot & sour soup is loaded with veggies, it's got a thick broth and is homemade. It's around $8 for a bowl but will fill you up. I used to get it at least once a week on lunchbreaks. The Singapore noodles are a bit spicy, and about $11, but this dish will feed 2-3 people. It's not greasy like most dishes at Luong's. Don't order a combo, get one of these two things. Unless you like greasy, standard NS Chinese food or clubhouse sandwiches with fries. read more

*Restarting Timer on Vegan Powers* My wife and I were out to do a baby raccoon pickup for Hope For Wildlife, but needed to tuck in somewhere and wait for the details to come in, so we decided to look for a place to grab a quick meal. While driving slowly through Shelburne we spied Luong's Restaurant (http://www.google.com/#q=luong+restaurant+shelburne+NS), which advertises vegetarian options right on the window and so seemed like a good bet. We were promptly seated, and our server assured us that they have meat and dairy free options right on the menu, and when questioned about whether the sauces could be made without fish sauce she assured us that the dressing for their meals were all made on site and were fish free. Delighted, we perused the menu, ordered a couple of likely items, and decided on a spring roll each to boot. No sooner had we tucked in to our pads to check our mail and such than our food arrived - such fast service! Giddy with what a great find this place is, we dug in to our meal, each starting in our spring rolls. I bit in and was surprised to find it full of marinated mushroo -- wait, what? No... Full of _beef_. Dead cow. Carcass. *_Fail_*. We both realized the truth at the same time, both having swallowed a mouth full of it. After waiting for a several minutes for our server to show her face again in the mostly empty restaurant, my wife decided to be more proactive, and so took both of the rolls up the front desk. After hearing her say that we were served meat, the server told her that _"if you wanted vegetarian spring rolls, you needed to order them from the vegetarian menu."_ No joke. From _her_ perspective, our having clearly identified ourselves as vegan, our having questioned her about the sauces, and our having expressed our delight before ordering about the meat free options was not sufficient. No - it's somehow OUR fault that we didn't go on to specify that the spring rolls needed to be carrion free. Lady - *"Karma takes to long -- I'd rather beat the $#@! out of you _now_"*, you know what I mean? It went down hill from there. We left a short time later, having paid our bill, but having not tipped a penny (and anyone who knows us knows _that_ to be an occasion as rare as a lunar eclipse). So... with tears in our eyes, we're resetting our time-to-vegan-powers timers; does anyone know if you get credit for good intentions in situations like this? I'd hate to have to wait the full time _again_!! read more

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon in October with my wife and three year old son. Food was ok. Better than some Chinese I have had is small towns. I had a combo number 4. Egg rolls were ok. Not the best I have ever had but decent. My son had hot dog and fries. The fries were greasy. My experience in general is that restaurants that serve chinese generally don't do a great job with Canadian fare. read more

I have known people that have worked there in the past. The employees do not get to hold their tips on their person and must put them in a jar AND owe the owners 15% of their tip money at the end of their shift. I paid you for YOUR food which is your part of my experience. The money that I leave for the employees is for them and their work. I was appauled to find out the owners take a cut. read more
