We had a great experience at Tasty kitchen which is a cantonese Chinese eatery. Simon is the owner and it was a pleasure speaking with him to understand how he started the eatery. The food is delicious and is priced very reasonably as it caters to students and locals nearby. I am glad we found the place and it is no wonder the reviews are excellent. We ate there on two consecutive evenings. On the second night we bought some fresh seafood (scallops and fish) and Simon has offered to cook them for us. Now how often do you get these type of personalized service? I highly recommend this place if you are in the Halifax area. I will definitely return the next time I’m in Halifax. Thanks Simon!!

Superb dining at Tasty Kitchen and the foods are delivered piping hot as freshly cooked by Simon! Thank you for those who put in positive high reviews that brought me n my hubby to this awesome Cantonese style cooking at great prices too! Will return for another round of dining tomorrow before leaving Halifax as missed Chinese foods being 10 days away from home!! Home cooked comfort foods that warm our stomach 😋

I recently just moved out of Halifax and thought it fitting to give my review of Tasty Kitchen. Simon has been a staple of South Street for my past 5 years there providing some of the best food and service I’ve had to date! The portions are large, the food is delicious and most of all the service that he provides is top tier! If you haven’t had a chance to come by to TK’s you are certainly missing out.

Best food on Dalhousie campus by far. Plenty of good options but I recommend the black pepper beef (if you don't mind mushrooms) or the curry chicken.

Happy to have come across this restaurant. The food was exceptionally delicious. The dishes full of fresh ingredients, rich in flavour, good portion sizes and reasonably priced. It was a pleasure to meet the chef, Simon, as well. He was so friendly and I simply appreciate his passion for cooking good food and having people enjoy it. I will definitely return and recommend others to go when they come to Halifax.

My partner and I had been looking for a Chinese restaurant with lobster and Simon the owner was so kind to offer to cook lobsters for us if we brought them. Lobster is usually special order and he needs a few days to get the lobster. The green onion and ginger lobster was delicious. We also ordered Cantonese chow mein and the toppings of veggies and meat were so generous. We were so glad to find a restaurant that serves traditional Chinese food. The service was also fast and friendly. Simon shared with us a bit of his chef training and history of Chinese food in Halifax. Definitely our best Chinese food dining experience in Halifax.

Pics might make the food look basic - dont believe it. Fresh veggies, delicious options for vegetarians. Highly recommend the eggplant dish. Yum! Vegetarian options: They are able to edit most items and make them vegetarian friendly - just ask! Recommend the Eggplant and Pork dish sans Pork :)

Needed a quick lunch while I was in Halifax for an appt. The Tasty Kitchen was in walking distance so off I go. A spartan little restaurant with 3 tables and some bar type seating. I completely missed the special board on the way in but that was my fault for not looking . The menu had plenty of choices and I ordered the Szechuan Pork on rice. It arrived within five minutes and was a generous helping. And it was delicious. Just what I needed on that day. Quite impressed for what seemed to be a one person operation, at least when I was there. I will be back.

I want to give four stars instead of three because the quality of the food seemed excellent and the owner/chef was so sweet. But regarding the taste of the food - for me that was about a three or so. Unfortunately we really did not like the egg rolls at all. I understand that the meat paste inside them is a Halifax thing but we did not enjoy the flavour or texture. Had the won ton soup - it was very good! Lots of veggies and the broth and wontons were good. Not a fan of shrimp in my soup but I appreciate the thought. We also had the Tasty Fried Noodles. Hubby loved them - but wasnt a fan of the shanghai noodles. If it said on the menu what kind of noodles, he would have ordered the Cantonese noodles instead. One thing that I have to mention was the bathroom was not clean at all - I am glad I saw it after eating rather than before or else it might have ruined my meal.

Tasty Kitchen is my favourite restaurant in Halifax. I go there quite often, a lot of times with my roommates, and weve had nothing but good to say on about 30+ orders. The food is fresh, quite healthy, and tastes amazing. Service is tremendous as well. Ive never had to wait longer than 10 minutes (average wait time is probably 5 minutes) and the two owners are extremely friendly.

This is honestly the best Chinese I ve tried in Halifax. Me and my roomates go here weekly and sometimes multiple times a week. That s because the food is fresh and tastes amazing and the portions are unreal for the price. Simon and his wife provide the best service by always being really welcoming and friendly. If you live anywhere close to this place and you haven t tried it out yet you re missing out.
