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.
Very friendly staff, great service and even better food! Authentic Chinese food that satisfies your craving and does leave you feeling full of carbohydrates or msg’s
Owners were very welcoming and incredibly kind to me. The food was spectacular, really above and beyond with fresh ingredients and great spices. This place is a must try!!
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.
Nice place to eat
Super friendly owner!!! 10/10
Best ever Chinese food I ever had in Halifax! The dinner for one and the chicken fried rice with vegetables are soooo good! Food
I am full
Small restaurant but very clean and the staff are very friendly. There is a good selection of food, and all the dishes my family has tried were excellent!
Food seems just heated from leftovers from yesterday, for me. My cat doesnt eat a bit just sniff and walk away.
Great place for real Chinese, staff is fantastic, huge amount of food for the money
Delicious food! If you still havent tried Tasty Kitchen yet. I highly recommend!
I forgot taking picture in the beginning. All dishes are very delicious. Good service and good attitude.
great service, really good food!!! I had the eggplant :)
Best place to eat around Dalhousie by far
Hmmmm extremely good, worth recommending!
Food was very tasty and service was great! Restaurant is clean and inviting.
Food is delicious. One portion is enough for two people...
Best Chinese in the city!
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 :)
My favorite Chinese restaurant in Halifax. Really nice owners and really tasty food. The specials rotation is always a pleasant surprise. Large portions too!
A nice place with delicious foods, love this place so much!
Excellent
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.
Very fresh vegetables and other ingredients. Only place I will eat the egg roll and truly enjoy it. Definitely coming back!
On May 13th 2023, we were at the IWK so we decided to walk to Tasty Kitchen for our lunch, this was our 1st time there, we werent disappointed, the food was awesome big menu to choose from, the owner is an awesome guy, this was a great find for us will definitely be back soon
Fresh and delicious Chinese food. One notch above most other Chinese restaurants. Dinner for one was the best Chinese dish I ve had in years.
Really live for this place.
It is one of two Chinese restaurants I highly recommend here on halifax. Tasty food, engaging proprietor
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.
Good place for lunch, the place just need decorations....
As mentioned in earlier reviews, the chef Simon was very friendly, and the service was very quick, not to mention the food was delicious! I definitely recommend trying the Black Bean Beef! Food
Nice place for a quick bite, owner is friendly and helpful. Very tasty Chinese food.
A simple Chinese-canadian diner run by one personable guy that serves up great food. We really enjoyed the two person dinner. So plentiful, so Tasty!
The food tastes great every time. Very fast and everyone that works there is polite
This is some of the best Chinese food I have ever had. Amazing little spot
Food was really good and the waiter was so nice and service was fast and good. Lemon chicken was really good.
This is the best Chinese food in Halifax! The owner is also super friendly

In hoc TK
This place is a gem, the menu is small, and you can hear your food being cooked fresh. Friendly, fast, and delicious food!
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.
Really nice people and good food. They kindly made my food with no meat!
They are very friendly. Their meals are flavourful and they give generous portions for each meals. Very close to Dalhousie University. Highly recommended.
The black pepper beef rice tastes very good.
Super cute place thats clean, tasty and affordable! Definitely coming back.
Lunch portion was just the right size and the food was very fresh tasting.
Great Chinese food the taste is amazing and the people very nice. The Spicy Shanghai noodles are really good we enjoyed it me and my family we came from Timberlea to eat there
Great portion. Decent taste.
Super tasty and good value. I had the black bean beef lunch special and loved it.
Loved it!
Got take out and walked back to the IWK to eat it. It was still warm, all veggies were fresh. Ordered 2 orders of dinner for one and a beef dish. Beef was very tender and sauce was flavourful. Would definitely recommend. Very Small place with great fresh food
Super friendly staff. Food was amazing and didnt have to wait very long at all. Highly recommend
Best Chinese food in Halifax
Tasty Kitchen is the best Chinese food I have eaten in this city. The food is always fresh and tastes delicious. You can tell there are no preservatives or chemicals used. One of my go-to restaurants in Halifax.
We had a big family meal (10 ppl) from Tasty Kitchen last week and it was a big hit. We ordered ahead a couple days. Excellent value for a big variety of tasty dishes. Lots of yummy leftovers. They were really helpful answering questions and we highly recommend!
Tasty Kitchen is the best Chinese food I ve had in a real long time. Very hearty and flavourful stuff, you can tell it s actual food and not just cookie cutter Chinese food. Portions are always big, reasonable prices, and quick. Last but not least, the owner and his family are very helpful and kind folk. Great place.
Great prices, great people, and even better food. The food is amazing quality, is very clean (Not greasy), the portions are more then enough, and the protein is never shortcoming. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a quick tasty and filling meal.
Hands down the best authentic Chinese food Ive had in Halifax. Would highly recommend and cant wait for my next visit. Really great
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.
Best Chinese food I ve had in Halifax so far. Tastes like home cooking in the best way possible
