Song's Korean Restaurant in Halifax

Superb experience with large portions, tasty food, and exceptional service. We will be going back again as soon as we can!

A very traditional korean food place. Love the food and service.

My favourite dinner place in all of Halifax. The people working there are so friendly and unbelievably kind! The atmosphere is always warm and the food is always amazing.

Some of the best service and food Ive ever had

Delicious authentic Korean Food with great owners! They welcomed us with great service even though they were closing soon! The atmosphere was calm and intimate, perfect for a date! I highly recommend it!

Absolutely amazing food, easy spot to miss but hard to forget. The food here is amazing and in large servings, our waitress was absolutely lovely. I recommend the homemade Kimchi and the Yaki Udon, along with the Strawberry milk, if you re looking for a sweet drink. Wonderful and welcoming experience, cannot wait for another visit here!

Wondeful Korean restaurant with great service and atmosphere. Everything was delicious and absolutely worth it!

Great service and atmosphere! The food was also excellent!

K5: Spicy Beef Soup. Excellent! Also the people who work here are just fantastic. They are so warm and friendly. I love this place.

The service is really good and profesionnal. The waitress likes to talk to people and that makes the difference. She is very welcoming and attentive to your needs. I ordered kimbap with kimchi and it was really good. As a French people she made my day :) I would definitly recommend this place ! Vegetarian options: You can remove things in your plate and you can have vegetarians plates

Very sweet ladies and tasty authentic food! highly recommend.

Love their food! Reminds me of being back in Korea!!

delicious food and the absolute nicest people!

Delicious food and amazing service!! I ll definitely be coming back!

Delicious food, amazing service, and lovely atmosphere! Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options Food : 5/5 |

Very beautiful place nice people they served us very well and the food omg very delicious me and my friend had an amazing time here the lady is so sweet..will sure come back again.

I ordered kimchi stew and tteokbokki, but they added stir-fried meat to the kimchi stew. What kind of flavor is this? The tteokbokki was tasteless, not even your taste.

I went to Songs with some friends as part of the 2024 Quinpool Oodles of Noodles event. We were all blown away with how fantastic the dishes were and how incredibly magnificent and kind the staff are. Each of our dishes had amazing flavours in the sauces and broths. Its definitely a place well be returning to again and again to make our way through the menu since each piece seems to be so stellar. Dishes ordered: Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup, Banquet Noodle, Vegetable Udon, Assorted Dumplings, Stir-fried rice cakes (original), and some complimentary house-made green tea to top it all off. Kamsahamnida, Songs! Well definitely be back :)

The spicy seafood udon noodle soup was exceptional. My friends had Yaki Udon and Bulgogi Pork, we all really enjoyed the meals. The prices are excellent, you can eat for $20 to $25. These prices include tax and tips. Highly recommend Songs Korean Restaurant. Kid-friendliness: The staff were super friendly. We were given free brown rice tea. They also served us condiments with our meals - kimchi, rice, pickled radishes.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. They are so nice and welcoming and the food is absolutely amazing. The lady working today was so nice and funny. Looking forward to our next trip in town so I can get more bulgogi.

First time here and will be back next weekend! So many delicious dishes to try. Cozy, clean, cheerful, & awesome selection from a big menu with lots of pics. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian (and vegan too, looks like) options!

Amazing flavors

Favourite Korean spot, friendly service and consistently delicious!

My sister and I had lunch here and it was really wonderful. The food was comforting and delicious and the server was so kind and welcoming. Really recommend

Simply, the best. Delicious food!

Vegetable udon. This is the best soup Ive had in the HRM. They were quick, and it was inexpensive! Will definitely make the trip to visit again and try other items in the future.

We were greeted by the sweetest lady ever and made to feel very welcomed! She gave us complimentary tea and provided quick service! The food was delicious, full of flavour, and had very generous portions. I highly recommend this restaurant!

I came here for the first time tonight. I will definitely be back! I had the cheese wontons and a vegetable kimchi stew. They were delicious. Our server was so nice and made us feel extremely welcome. If you re looking for a great, hot, comforting meal and incredible service, I would highly recommend Songs.

A great little shop with a very nice Korean owner.

I go to Songs as often as I can. Every chance I get to introduce another person to this restaurant I do it. I recommend the Dolsot Bibimbap and the Kimchi Seafood Pancake. You will not be disappointed. Parking: There is plenty of parking behind Canadian Tire, which is located right next door. There is also street parking available depending on the time of day.

Average quality restaurant

Portion is insanely small for a supposed bulgogi skillet dinner that costs $26.99. Not even filling up 40% of the plate. Quite decent taste wise.

Slow like turtle.

Delicious, havent been for a while but food still good..

Love this family run operation. The food is so comforting and so good. Check this place out. You wont be disappointed.

I love this little spot! The food is always delicious and they are so nice. If you re not sure what to order give the dolsot bi bim bap a try, it s a sizzling stone bowl with rice, veg, fried egg and meat if you choose. The bulgogi beef is my favorite. Don t forget to add the red sauce!

Just had my first ever order. The pork bone soup is really really delicious

The best service ever me and my boyfriend have been here three times and never got any disappointment

This place is getting worse by worse I used to love this place before but now their food quality sucks. I order spicy rice cake it was literally drenched in water with no flavours ruined my whole day!! I would not suggest anyone to go here. I was really excited to eat it on my break at work but it wasn t eatable it was bland and all watery ewww disgusted. Please do better you guys are literally charging more than 15$ for it seriously. i will never order from here again.

Food is okay. Absolutely not worth the price. The kimchi was lacked spice and the portion was tiny! Give it more dried shrimp and garlic! If the restaurant is going to charge the current prices, the portion sizes should be generous. Service was mid and the owner was unfriendly. So, uh, not coming back here lol.

Food was absolutely delicious!!! Service was stellar. Highly recommend this wonderful little restaurant. Vegetarian options: Lots of delicious options!

The server that we had at this restaurant was one of the best servers I have had in my entire life -- she was polite, fun, engaging and extremely welcoming. The food was incredible and each dish was flavoured perfectly. We will definitely be back!

Quite good

food was okay.. questionable. service from female was nice.

Best family Korean place in town! Super cozy and delicious!

The Kimbap tuna appears to be made of fresh tuna on their menu photo but it s just $2 canned tuna not worth

This place embodies village-core; delicious low-key dishes, buckwheat tea, and huge portions. I think Ive gotten the gamjatang every single time, its so good! Not amazing for a big group imo, more for a cozy dinner.

Very friendly staff! We tried the japchae and the house soup, both were fantastic! Definitely would recommend

I had the itch for some Korean while on vacation in Nova Scotia and Im so happy to have found Songs. Everything was so delicious, and the server was incredibly kind and attentive. Both the jjamppong and the soondubu were the real deal, and Id eat here once a week if I lived nearby. Ill definitely come back next time Im in Halifax.

The best service, the best food. Hands down.

The best restaurant in Halifax in my opinion!

Amazing food and lovely welcoming atmosphere! Prices are good! The waitress was very nice and very polite! Will go again!

Great food, with nice serving sizes for the price, and the nicest waitress Ive come across in any restaurant. Definitely recommend checking it out!

Delicious Korean food!

( I also had jajangmyeon and shared tteokbokki with my partner! ) We were so touched by the kindness of the owner and hostess (I failed to get her name!) It was a lovely spot and perfect place to have a meal if you miss living at home :) We will definitely be returning as regulars, thank you so much for the meal!

We were warmly welcomed as soon as we walked in ! The service was amazing, and the food was sooo fresh and tasty. I had the best dumplings and kimbap of my life. We cant wait to come back here.

I was there in July 2023. They make a great bibimbap and offers 3x different kind of kimchi with a miso soup & tea. Great value for the price! Will stop by next time Im in Halifax for sure

Some of the friendliest service I ve ever experienced, and incredible food! We will definitely be back

I have been for dine as well as ordered delivery. Just love the food and service. I am a vegetarian and they were understanding and did serve delicious vegan food

I love this place. whent with my family and the owners where so helpful. While the food qas 10 out of 10. The vibe was surprising, it was unassuming and very welcoming. I felt relaxed, comfortable, and valued.

Very nice restaurant. Delicious authentic food

Wow just incredible Korean food. Highly recommend the Gamjatang (Pork Bone Stew) and Bibibimbap. Which was sooo tasty. This place also refilled the side dishes free of charge! The kimchi here is definitely one of my favorite so rar as it wasnt too too spicy and felt really fresh. If youre looking for authentic Korean food, this place is definitely it.

We ordered through Uber. The sweet and sour spicy chicken was tasty but the bulgogi and the spicy stir fry chicken were both dry and did not taste good. Overall, it was mediocre Korean food.

Good place to eat

This place is fantastic! Homey atmosphere, great food, and great service. Do yourself a favour and eat at Songs!

I had lunch yesterday here for the first time and I think it was pretty good for first experience and the food quality was good and delicious It s not busy these days but the restaurant looks clean except their chairs or bunch. Above all I think four stars is a fair rate for the restaurant. Enjoy Korean food here!

Very atmospheric and the food was great too! Only one issue was that we ordered veggie dumplings but we got one with meat in it. Otherwise the portions were good for me and it wasnt overfilling :)

The restaurant with its ambience and set up along with the old Korean songs truly gives you a little visit to traditional Korean culture. The food was so good and even the customer service was exceptional. The lady who served was really kind to show me how to eat it in a proper way . I even liked the little paper on the table which teaches you some korean words with English translations. Its really cute. The only downside is its really hard to get parking and is a bit pricey. Overall definitely a good place to try for Korean cuisine.

I ordered a vegan kimbap. They were kind enough to substitute the egg with tofu. The place has a great atmosphere, Its a beautiful place you can invite friends over to eat out at. They have wifi and outlets which can come in handy. Great service from a kind and professional staff!

A lovely little place with great food, great portions, and great service! Our server was very friendly and accommodating. Our food was delicious! The portions were so large half of us had to take it to go. I would come back here for lunch or dinner

Most excellent food and friendly service.

The real deal. Sushi aside, I think that Songs was the first of the Korean (Asian in general, really) restaurants to offer real Asian cuisine in Halifax. They deserve my dollar for this alone. And the food is delicious. And so, in my pidgin Korean: Sogangheysoyo!

Delicious Korean cuisine

Would highly highly recommend dining at this restaurant. The owner who served our food was extremely kind and gave us tips on what to order and all the food we got was delicious, especially the Kimchi pancake. Also the decor was cute and the playlist was fire. Just all and all a very cute family-owned place with delicious food.

Chinese people don t lie to Chinese people, K1 big bones yyds, if it doesn t taste good, I ll chop off the head and use it as a chamber pot

Dumpling soup had amazing broth dumpling were fantastic, GF got the kimchi and it was fantastic best kimchi we ve had in NS by far

After a long bike ride through the rain, Songs korean restaurant really hit the spot. Ive been eating my way through the restaurants of Halifax and this easily has to be the place I had my favourite meal! The kimchi stew was decently spicy, but not overly so and seasoned to perfection. The side dishes were equally delicious, and the honey plum tea I ordered was a delightfully sweet addition! If I were to move to Halifax, Im certain Songs would become my regular favourite place!

The male owner was really really creepy lol, I was doing some work on my laptop while eating and he started staring at my screen in a very weird way, when I asked him to stopping doing that he started asking about what I m working on, I cringe talking to him lol

The staff were so kind to me and made sure to give me refills on my drink and even gave me more of the side dishes to eat. They also asked me how I was getting along quite often which I found sweet. The food was also delicious and a good price. I recommend for anyone that wants good Korean food to go here!

Never go to this restaurant if you are doing skip or Uber. Wait time is more than half hour on peak hours. And zero for customer service. Owner is very rude too

Best Bibimbap Ive ever had !

Why do this to us? Its too good. And now we gotta return to Ontario to eat bland imitations of your authentic masterpieces.

Good food, good service.

The best Korean restaurant in Halifax or the best restaurant period. We make a point to go here every time we re in the province

Great food but way overpriced, I ordered on Uber eats. Prices seem to be about 50% higher than they should be. Next time Ill stick with Gangnam.

Ive used to go to a different place for my favourite kind of Korean soup but something changed and the recipe has changed. But I found this little place and I saw they had my favourite soup and the owner told me how he makes it and you could tell hes passionate about the food he serve because, wow goodness, first taste was so flavourful. Meat was tender and he gave me little appetiser to go with it. Very kind staff that works there, their food is just beautiful and authentic.

I love this place! I recommend ordering Bibim Naeng-myeon (SN2) or Song s house soup (K0) with some Brown Rice Tea.

One of my favourite places to dine in in Halifax

Not great... I ordered the same dish and this time it was different. Because they added pickles in it.

Absolutely delicious meal and amazing customer service. Will go again and recommend to all.

Best veggie dumplings, loved the bulgogi, Delicious brown rice tea, and the best part are the little snacks you get with your meal! Especially the kimchi! Thank you for your kind service, we loved our experience there today and will definitely be back.

Doenjang bibimbap is great, so is the service!

Awesome kimchi stew and very nice service.

One of the best Korean food in HRM and the service is top notch! Ill be coming back for sure.

Love it here! The food and service is incredible and the staff is very nice and friendly. Definitely worth a visit. I got the K7a with bulgogi beef. It was a big portion and very flavorful

Delicious, fast and friendly service.

If you havent eaten here, youre missing out. Love the bimbambap!

Great lunch menu combos for dine-in

Ordered here for myself and my girlfriend, granted my unagi eel that I got was quite good and I would order it again however my girlfriends experience was less than pleasant. For starters the cheese that we had ordered as an extra for her kimchi fried rice was not present, and that was a good few coins to be down. Secondly there was a plethora of what seemed to be freeze dried peas or mixed vegetables or something? either way it was extremely unpalatable. Thirdly the vast quantity of kimchi that was in her dish was borderline rancid, and something that probably even a raccoon would choke on. Needless to say I wont be ordering from this joint again. Sucks to suck.

I just had a delicious lunch here with a friend. The person serving us was very kind and helpful, and the food was delicious! We had a crispy seafood pancake, kimbap and split a lunch special. Everything was fresh and yummy. Service was very quick! I ve been coming here for years and always have a great experience, highly recommend!

Delicious, filling lunch specials ($11.99) and tasty Korean beer. Excellent service. The owner stopped at our table to check on our satisfaction with the meal and offered us additional kim chi. Recommended!

Worst.

Some of the best service and food in the city. Feels like home.

Good Korean food, lovely service and a reasonable price. The bi bim bap was terrific.

Delicious, fresh and friendly!

Great food and service!

Good food and atmosphere. Had gimbap, kimchi seafood pajeon and gamjatang. Pretty good, but the gimbap is definitely overpriced for what it is and just one roll. Other dishes and banchan served were delicious.

Great food! Went to supper with some friends and we all really enjoyed it. Extremely friendly staff as well

Extremely delightful place. The food is excellent, and the hostess makes the experience all that much better. Very pleasant woman. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Waitress was good but the owner is extremely unfriendly and werid

Small cozy restaurant with good menu and portions!

They deserve a Michelin star for their Gamjatang

The best service ever!!!! They were so nice!!! The food was amazing!! We ordered tea and it came in an adorable teapot!!! They had a debit machine and they give you 3 Huge scoops of ice cream

The food was AMAZING and there was lots of variety! Portions were big but prices were very reasonable. As well, the service was great and the staff were very welcoming! It was a great experience!

Love the bibimbap!!

Very disappointed. The Japchae was inedible.To make matters worst, I paid for the beef japchae and there little to no beef.

Excellent old-school Korean food. The beef ribs are my new favourite.

Absolutely amazing food and customer service. Its been a pleasure to have eaten there a couple times.

This is delicious dishes.

Ordered kalbi soup. There is no kalbi in it because kalbi during winter is more expensive . Don t understand when we paid for the kalbi soup price. While we are very upset and not enjoying our meals the waitress was singing every time she passes by us

Another must stop spot!

Great food. Really, no other words need.

To be honest, the food at this store is not that good. I ate it a while ago, but I think it tastes better when I made it online. The staff is Korean, but the food seems like a total failure. I dont usually post bad reviews, but really, dont go to this store.

Awesome food, Owner is very nice

This place never fails. The food is amazing and well priced.

Food was great. Staff was very nice and attentive

Delicious food in a pleasant atmosphere. Some of the best cold noodles Ive had! Owner was very pleasant and great service

The male owner was very very mean!!! Don t go!!! He was trying to extort me $5 for a small cup of white rice takeout. When I looked into their menu, I immediately refused to pay. He was so mad at me and forcing me to pay. When I said I don t want the rice anymore, he said $4 was fine. ?????what????? It was a horrible experience... Why didn t this restaurant close down?

Very good food! Good quantity,flavorful meat. Will definitely go there again. Beef short ribs are a must try!

I ordered Jjajangmyeon and Sweet and Sour Pork through a delivery app... everyone.... lol........... The sweet and sour pork ordered for delivery was pre-soaked in sauce (tasteless). Mix it up^^ and cover it tightly with a lid so there are no gaps^^!!!!! He closes it and sends the delivery....lol. Im not particularly a fan of it, but Im even a fan of it. Even when I look at it, I dont think its real lol.. Its just... really... I have so many things to say. Ill stop here.....

Delicious food and wonderful service. We sat outside and could enjoy the nice weather today. Thanks for the great food!

The staff were friendly and accommodating to our vegetarian diet. Food was delicious, very flavorful. Would go back.

Fantastic restaurant a must visit.

I should ve listened to people who say that do not order here. They sent wrong food and also another food is messy. The salad sauce is mixed with rice and the salad is mixed with spicy pork. They don t want to refund or anything for this mistake. This owner needs to know it is not my fault. I also ordered sweet and pork, and it is not tasty at all. Don t eat here for sweet and port at least.

The staff there are super nice!

Our food was delicious. The service was friendly and prompt.

Hands down my favourite restaurant. Mr. Song is so friendly and we have never had a bad experience. The assorted dumplings are a favourite as well as Spicy Pork and Dolsot Bibimbap (with Bulgogi!). I recently had takeout of Kimchi Fried Rice and it was excellent.

Poor packaging. Wet and dry items mixed together. All the sauce is absorbed by rice. Try to find the green onion, and onion rings.All it had was rice cakes quite hard, fish cakes and cheese a bit of cabbage. For the price of would expect more tteobokki and less rice. Quite disappointed. The shrimp were oily but I think compared to other items decent. It could be due to covid to cut down costs due to lack of revenue. I hope they find alternatives for a better service. I wont be ordering from here anytime soon and would go back to my usual place.

Very friendly staff and wonderful, hearty Korean food. Quite a few soup dishes which is wonderful on a cold winter day.

This place is the cutest place! The service is amazing as is the food!

Best Gamjatang ever! Reasonable prices and good service.

Fantastic little restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. It was our first time trying Korean BBQ--beef short rib and spicy marinated chicken--and the staff were incredibly welcoming, caring, and helpful. We were greeted by cups of hot green tea (with brown rice) and they walked us through each ingredient, how to cook them, and how to prepare awesome wraps with the romaine. The menu is quite extensive and I very much look forward to visiting again to try more!

The service and food...always great!

Lovely Korean food! Kind staff

Best Korean food in the city!

Went with a friend; my first time having Korean food. It was great, owner was very friendly.

Delicious Mom and Pop restaurant. Lovely service. I had the K7b seven veggie with spicy chicken in burning-hot earthenware bowel and a side of various kimchis. My wife had veggie udon. Our first time, definitely going back.

Really traditional korean food. I ordered the pork bone soup, and fish stew and they were delicious but pricey though

Ok place.

Fantastic. Loved it.

The best porkbone soup Ive ever had in my life! I have been going back since I first tried their food 10 years ago!

Love their lunch menus!! Great Korean food!!!

The food is awesome! Great service and student discounts. I make a stop there everytime I am in Halifax.

Outstanding food, every time. Exceptionally friendly service. Best Korean on Quinpool.

DDeok bok ggi is 13 dollars but just 1/4 size

Amazing food!

We were greeted when we walked in by a nice gentleman who seated us right away. He seen us struggling a bit to decide and offered some suggestions. Everything was delicious and Im looking forward to eating here again.

1. Decor: outdated and tacky. Stains on tablecloth. Bunch of ads for things theyre also selling in the restaurant: are they a restaurant or a health food store? 2. Ambience: I assume its family of the owners that sit around in the restaurant watching Korean news in the restaurant. I honestly wonder if they care about presenting the restaurant as a professional establishment. 3. Food: - Stew: I had the most confusing stew that they said was very popular and tasty. It felt like it was a mix of ingredients they just had leftover. There was an olive in a Korean stew. If you know anything about Korean food, you do not put olives in stew. There were random chickpeas in there as well. It was so haphazardly put together--it genuinely confused me why they even felt this would be acceptable. I felt pretty gross when I got home wondering if the ingredients they used were actually fresh enough to be considered decent. - Side dishes: Ive never seen a Korean restaurant charge extra for side dishes. Thats all and fine. However, they assume that youve chosen the deluxe version and make you pay for it after. The kimchi is the worst Ive ever tasted at a Korean restaurant. The eggs were bland and tasted like cardboard somehow because it was so dry. 4. Value for money - Ive been here once before where I felt the food was borderline but would keep my longing for Korean food at bay. I regret my choice to return with forcing the delux menu on us and the quality of food today. I see a lot of positive reviews and Im genuinely confused. If this restaurant was open in Toronto, it would have most definitely closed in very short months. Although, we were the only ones dining there on a Friday night so I should have clued in with that as well. I generally dont pay much heed to overtly negative reviews. However, I present my objective findings and recommend that you do not eat at this restaurant.

Food was sooo nice and friemdly Song!

Friendly personnel and very tasteful food

Not recommended this place, i am a fan eating korean but the food is not at all up to the korean standard; not to mention the price is not at all reasonable. A bibimbap costed me $19 (after adding beef because or else the bibimbap would only have vegetable).

Very good homemade food

Soondubu was so good. Off the chain.

Disgusting stay away, I got food poisoning and was sick for 4 days. Should be closed down.

Its a NO NO. Honestly the food was so so, I can put up with the food. But the male owner is so creepy, I know hes checking on us but he doesnt have to stare at us in a really werid way like were trying to stole something. Whats so valuable on our table at that time? Chopsticks or teapot? Theres other options for the Korean food, as for Song, no thank you.

good

Very good food

Go accross the street to BiOne. Yeah I went there.

I love to eat here because food is so delicious and the owner is so nice n kind. You must try fish soup here.

Great food, friendly service, nice atmosphere.

They reused caviar off of another customers plate because they didnt eat it
