The Orient Chinese Cuisine - Halifax

If you 're looking for authentic Chinese food, I would definitely recommend coming here!The flavors were strong and the dishes reminded me a lot of home cooked meals from my mom and provided a sense of comfort.Not your typical Canadian Chinese food, you can tell the dishes are made proper with the right spices and flavors and not deep fried and battered like most Chinese food places.The menu seems to be a sharing menu based on the items we got, but if you have a big appetite, you won 't be disappointed.Chef Ivan has definitely outdone Chinese cuisine here in HRM!The outside of the restaurant does give you that sense of hole in the wall , however when you go inside, the cleanliness is unreal! So don 't be taken back by the look of the outside, because the inside is a way different feeling and you can tell the owners take great pride in ensuring the restaurant is clean and comfortable.Highly recommend, won 't be our last time going there that 's for sure!!Parking: Front of restaurant is okay (like 3 or 4 diagonal spots) but the parking is tight. Limited parking for below. Cannot park beside where press realty is, or you have a risk of getting your car towed.

This is our favourite Chinese restaurant in Halifax. We always come here when we’re in town. The lobster dishes are amazing! Make sure you order them ahead of time since Chef Ivan gets them straight from the fisherman himself. Don’t miss out on this place.

Honestly, the workers were super duper friendly, but that’s about it. The food was horrible to say the least. I had very high expectations considering the high prices and the multiple certificates and trophy pics the chef had displayed. It’s easily the worst Chinese food I’ve ever tasted. The Shanghai noodles were bland, I couldn’t believe it. Felt like I was chewing nothing. I’m not exaggerating. The fried rice was somehow even worse. For $26 you would think it would taste somewhat decent, but tbh at that point I’d rather munch on a plain bowl of plain white rice. My last straw was the shrimp. Honestly how does one mess up Shrimp? It Literally has to be the simplest thing to cook but barely had any flavour. I will not be trying this place again, tbh you’re better off grabbing cheap Chinese mall food. Good customer service though.
