Truly Tasty in Halifax

Best place in the city for amazing Ramen

So delicious, I was actually rendered speechless for a moment by how delicious the ramen was. Great meal, large portions, reasonable price. Friendly service, too, try it today!

The best ramen hands down in all of Halifax the portions will leave u in a food coma because you can t stop eating it. Definitely recommend this spot

Always tasty and comforting.

I was traveling to Hafa and passed by Dalhousie University. I searched for Japanese restaurants nearby. I saw that this was a ramen restaurant and immediately decided to try it. I didn t expect that the portion of this ramen was really huge, even for the three of us. Everyone in Xian didnt finish the meal, because there was a lot of meat in each bowl, and you couldnt finish it just by eating the meat. Of course, the ramen is also delicious. I have tried many restaurants in Hafa, and this restaurant is definitely suitable for noodle lovers. Come try it, and the price of each bowl of noodles is about 17 to 24. I had a bowl of hot and sour noodles in a Chinese restaurant for 19 dollars, so the price is very affordable. There are Canadian Forum and Atlantic Supermarket opposite for easy parking. It s so delicious that it s worth it. I open Google Maps and write a review! Parking: There are many parking spaces at the Canadian tire and superstore opposite. Kid-friendliness: It s suitable. You can order a bowl of noodles with children. It s definitely enough. There s really a lot of noodles in one bowl.

I love the food and the staff are very kind and pleasant; theyre quite accommodating! The atmosphere is the only thing I might have marked a 4 if I were more choosey, because although the space is clean, well lit, and spaced nicely for the amount of seating, the chairs are hard, tables plain, and decorations are sparce. Honestly not an issue for me, but for some it might be. I know 3 people who find it difficult to sit for long because the chairs hurt their backs. Parking: Street only Kid-friendliness: There is no change table in the bathroom. Wheelchair accessibility: There seem to be only stairs to the restaurant.

Amazing food and great service!

Truly Tasty is a spot you will not regret going to. Their ramen is absolutely delicious, fresh and you will likely not be able to eat a full serving, because the portions are so generous. The wife and husband that own it (she hosts, he is the chef), are two of the sweetest most hard working people you will meet.

So delicious!

Truly Tasty is my favourite place in Halifax for Ramen ! Their food is amazing, you get a good portion for the price, the service is always friendly, quick and welcoming Highly Recommend !

The food was meh . Huge portion but salty/not well seasoned. I gave it 2 stars because the staff at least was friendly and welcoming

The tast, the service, the quantity and the price.

Amazing food, very friendly staff, excellent service.

Tried the chicken noodle soup, the portion is so generous, it is enough for two people, but I just don t like shouyou based soup, loaded fried chickens on top of the soup but too salty. Most other noodles on menu are pork noodles but spicy.

I went here because it was recommended on Reddit as one of the best ramen places in the city. They were right. All kinds of folks eating here - families, students, solo folks. Great service and the food is so good, and a great price considering the massive amount of food they give you. Best ramen ever -- they hand make their noodles that day, the broth is excellent, and the combination of items in the broth is so tasty (truly tasty :) ). Would definitely go here again. Kid-friendliness: Great for kids Wheelchair accessibility: No accessibility for wheelchairs.

We had the crispy chicken ramen Very generous portions, beautiful homemade noodles, great service and delicious food! Recommended dishes Fried Chicken Ramen

I ate a ramen soup 7 yrs ago while on vacation and to this day I say its the best. I still think about it and talk about it. Nothing Ive tried after that day comparés to this restaurant. The best rame soup ever. Go!

Good food. Good price. Good service

Service and atmosphere is great... But sad to say, water has tasted very rich in chlorine... And most of the ramen is too fatty now in its broth and salty...

I love eating here because the meal comes at reasonable value vs cost. The taste is delicious and staff are friendly and helpful. The place has a friendly atmosphere.

Amazing food and excellent service!

shoyu broth is heavy, monotonous.

If you want tasty youll get it here. Still amazing after six years but never seems to be open these days.. theres nothing quite like their ramen as far as taste goes.. Food : 5/5

Our favorite spot in Halifax. Amazing quality for the price, and the portions are always huge. It is so good every single time, you need to try it. The crispy fried chicken is the best, I recommend the appetizer plate of it vs the noodle bowl. The crispiness is just spot on and it comes with pickles on the side. The spicy tan tan ramen is my absolute favourite and I never stray.

Its a very good ramen shop in this small city, and it tastes good. The store layout is reasonable and clean, and the waiters are very enthusiastic.

Amazing as always, I really need to make the effort to get out there more. Spicy Tan Tan is fabulous!

its on the news regarding kickin out family for almost being pinched by a spectrum kid. and wants the 4yr old non verbal kid to apologized??? non true customer service here i say.

Came here the first time just by myself and felt totally disappointed. I ordered a spicy kimchi ramen which was not spicy at all. The ramen was cold and super super salty. I had to pour more water in my cup into the ramen bowl that I could finish it. Since the food was served then nobody came to ask me how I was doing anyway, but they kept caring the table just right behind me. I dont think I would come back or recommend my friends to come here.

If youre looking for a great place to eat i highly recommend truly tasty 6210 Quinpol rd they have lots to choose from you wont be disappointed

Had the Shoyo Chansu Ramen and the fried chicken. The portions are kinda big so come hungry. Great flavors and fast service even during the lunch rush.

Ate here last night and left there stuffed with leftovers. The food was delicious and well worth the price which is average for a meal out these days.

Great food and atmosphere

Super delicious. Order the veggie ramen over the meat options. Has way more umpf. Its like a carnival of taste explosions in your mouth Food

Best ramen on the East Coast.

Great fried chicken. Ramen broth is lacking in flavour

amazing food, super kind people, excellent service. clean and wonderful environment

They have amazing food

First time going and it is Truly tasty! The ramen with the soft poached boiled egg was perfect. Delicious! Big portions. The gyudon was lovely and flavourful. Lovely staff and loving the atmosphere.

Truly Tasty is really Delightfully Delicious.

The name of the restaurant is accurate! We really enjoyed our ramens, with homemade noodles and amazing flavors. The portion are generous. The vegetarian options are great. The staff is friendly. Nice place !

Great ramen. Highh recommend the fried chicken ramen.

This is hands down the best ramen you will find ANYWHERE. The portions are huge, and if you are in the mood for a salad, these are also exceptional. The quality, the flavors, the unique ingredients. You will leave feeling like you gave your body tons of nutrition.

Food is soooooo good, the spicy pork ramen, yes please so good the chrispy chicken in the chicken ramen too, soo chrispy and good, i think they can afford to bump up the spice a bit because i dont find the spicy pork ramen like super spicy, but its still delicious, but my motto is if your not crying its not spicy enough Parking: Parking is the only issue, since its on quinpool sometimes not much available, but youll find something eventually

Great service and very tasty ramen! Only downside was that there was a lot of oil on top of the broth - more than a centimeter! Fantastic once you get home and skim it off.

Delicious and excellent service as always!

The best ramen you will have in Halifax, Food is extremely tasty, portion is generous. Service is 5/5. They should get more recognitions! Food : 5/5

Great Ramen! Very tasty and good prices!

first few bites of the Spicy Tan Tan ramen were michelin star worthy

If you are a local to Halifax or just visiting this is a must try. Clean and cozy spot, best ramen Ive had. The fried chicken ramen is a must try.

taste good

Finally found the time to stop and try a bowl of Ramen at one of Halifax s famous stops. Difficult decision on the menu but went with thee servers recommendation. The broth was SO GOOD. Rich and thick, packed with flavour. Noodles were firm with great texture. The fried chicken was plentiful and very crispy. I removed it to the side and just dipped as I went to ensure it kept its crunch. Excellent spot. Went again this week Aug 23/23. Had the Tantanmen. It was excellent. Not as spicy as I was expecting. Lots of delicious flavour, great textured noodles and a rich broth.

Very good ramen place! There was a bit of a wait to get in but aside from that the service was great. Definitely recommend!

Lady working there was so rude with couriers. She may be do not like her job Food

Foods awesome but definitely slightly less good then a year ago. But still amazing.

Ive only gone our for Ramen twice and I had this the first time a few weeks ago. It was really good. Got a craving. Had to come back. Parking: Quinpool kind of sucks for parking.

Truly Tasty is truly the tastiest ramen in Halifax. Their veggie option is full of flavour and care, which I always think says a lot about a restaurant; how much care they put into their veg options and its not just an afterthought. My fav order is veggie ramen with an egg and chicken karaage app (which is wayyyy to much food for one sitting, but makes for delicious leftovers later).

We had our lunch here and I like the noodles very much! And also I like fried rice cake, it s so good! I have to say the noodles are homemade, it tastes great!

So good dude. Just check it out.

Truly tasty is by far the highlight of my visit to Halifax. I tried the spicy pork chashu abura soba plate and it was heaven. the meal is huge, fresh and really delicious. service is unreal good and the team is really nice as well: Please add this restaurant to your list and try it, you wont regret it. Food

Wanted to try this Ramen place for a while now.. and trust me its worth it. Tried the crispy fried chicken ramen and and the Spicy pork miso ramen both were delicious. The portions are hearty and the broth with both were delicious. The places was moderately filled for lunch time and the service was quick and on point. Definitely worth a try.

Awesome place!! Friendly hardworking people, great portion sizes and amazing flavours!

Ordered the fried chicken ramen with extra lemon and it s one of the best ramen I ve had in HFX. The place is clean and the staff were nice too!

The owner was rude and their ramen was very bland. Wont come back again.

Best food every

Restaurant name is accurate The gnocchi and ramen were amazing and the service was fast and friendly! Food

Just finished our food here at Truly Tasty. Best and fast service. Best value--- and the food is truly tasty recommend the mild spicy Tan tan Ramen. Generous meat and vegetables. Really happy Food : 5/5

Tried ramen for the first time and was so good. The lady working there helped me understand what to eat and what drink to have with it.

Beat ramen in halifax hands down!

What a gem we didn t know about. The price is phenomenal and it has been a long time since I had such timely service. They do it as a team and they do it well. Ramens are $19 and less and the portion makes it well worth it. I know we will be back Vegetarian options: It was delicious and huge . The bowl that came out was daunting. To say the least I had lunch the next day

I like this place for Crispy chicken Ramen & Sake(Japanese Vodka). Though options are limited for vegetarians or chicken only type of people

Fried chicken Ramen is the best. Really like it. Get lots too

Too salty

I heard very good things about this place. I didnt particularly like the batter on the chicken and it wasnt spicy at all. The noodles were good I guess and the broth did taste good - but I dont think I will be back. I tried the veggie broth aswell and I found it too sweet. I would like to give it another try but I doubt I will get around to it.

I recommend the chicken and sticky rice and ramen. The best ramen in town.

Everything we ate was delicious! Will definitely go back!

Love the new location and great food!

Even though this place was quite busy over lunch, we were seated promptly and served in a reasonable timeframe. The restaurant is well laid out so we didnt feel crowded. The servers were excellent and attentive. Our delicious meals were served hot and well presented.

I was doing skip deliveries. Came here to grab order and order was not ready. So I just requested that can I use the washroom, she just refused and said delivery drivers are not allowed to use the washroom.

Great ramen, good prices, good service.

My absolute favourite place to get ramen in the city. Been going there for the last 5 years.

The spicy rice gnocchi is my go-to take out order. A must try. The ramen is also delicious. Great friendly service too.

Salty, over priced, bad. Friendly staff. Will not be back!

Good food!

Crispy chicken ramen was amazing. Service was even better.

Perfect every time. Had the Chrispy Chicken Ramen. So much chicken! Im sure there was well over one chicken breast of freshly cooked chicken on top of freshly made noodles. The broth was perfect too.

It seems the secret to truly tasty is to use a pound of salt in every bowl of noodles. The secret spicy mayonnaise is basically mayo with cayenne pepper, which they gave only a small amount of for the fried chicken, but want a dollar for more.... its a dollop of mayo come on. Nice ambience and the staff was quick, but expensive for what it is.

Bad service. Extremely rude.employees and irresponsible manager!

food quality is getting worse, and especially, the chef guy have extremely rude behavior to customers! I DONT CARE if he is the manager or owner or whoever, but treating and talking to the customer with that kind of altitude is VERY DISRESPECTFUL! When we came in, the place was not even crowded, only 2-3 customers inside, and he acted like as if we are wasting his precious time by just looking if our friends have arrived or not. It was only 10 seconds that we just came in and there is no one waiting behind us, but he lost his patience and yelled at us! we wanted to request an appropriate apologize and give feedback directly to the manager after paying the bills, and you know what she said!? She REFUSED to listen to our feedback and wanted us to leave the restaurant as soon as possible. This is a sign of extreme unprofessional and doesn t care much about the customer s experience. We asked who is the manager, and she replied I am the manager and owner then leave! Like?!??? Usually the correct action would be asking if there is anything wrong or is there something she can help, but in this case, she tried to avoid us!!! I am very busy I don t have time, is it about the food? it is not then I don t have time for this , can you believe this?! The place was not even busy and there were only 3 guests! I am speechless and have no words. Truly Tasty used to be way better and food was even way better back then. Now, it is a place that I would NEVER want to go back and feel bad for anyone who come here. Hope that there will be more reviews like this so they can understand the importance of customer s experience to improve their service! Cuz seems like right now they feel as if they have such good reputation already, they don t need the customers anymore to waste their time.

We ordered 3 kind of ramens. I liked Spicy Misu Chashu Ramen. With 3 big pieces of thick braised pork shoulders, ground pork, and soup made this ramen has a good taste. Food portion are big with reasonable price.

Came here for ramen and got the spicy Tan Tan ramen. Sooooo goooood!!! I m actually wondering when I can get to Halifax this week so that I can visit again. Ignore the negative people who leave negative reviews for everyone. This place is delicious. I mean come on, look at the picture!! Update July 28th: came back for a second visit, brought the husband. We both got the fried chicken ramen and both left super stuffed and satisfied. Will definitely be back again!!

Wish I could give 6 stars. Spicy tan tan Ramen

They have a great selection of meat based ramen, but very limited options for vegetarians/vegans (plus their vegan friendly option is priced up). Looks great after the renovation though!

Very generous portions, made of chicken stock instead of pork stock, and friendly servers makes truly tasty a wonderful restaurant to visit. We got the fried chicken ramen which was piled with pieces of fried chicken that had a wonderfully salty coating. We also got the tan tan ramen but I would probably advise against that as although the meat contained was soft, the broth was a bit strange. The fungus in vinegar appetizer was unique and very refreshing. Would definitely try the rice bowls next time.

Owner was rude to a family who had a child with disability.

The worst customer service. Bad temper of the cook/owners and staff. Not a good place to go if you are planning to eat out with family. No respect at all.

Your ramen doesnt taste good, its like your habit.

Cool ambiance, great taste and most importantly generous portion! Will def come back to try more stuff.

Their food is good and the service is great.

The food is amazing. This is the best ramen I have ever had. The pickle plate and fried chicken are also great. The staff are very welcoming and kind.

Unfriendly kid restaurant.

worst.

Not a kids friendly. Owner is rude!

I ve been to this place and im not gonna recommend this restaurant, they are not child friendly, the chef is arrogant and they do not clean their utensils properly. Not worth of what you pay for. Kid-friendliness: Not a child friendly restaurant. Poor parking space.

Not child friendly.

Treating their customers bad. They shouldn t have established any resto at all if they re gonna treat their customers that way.

On that day, the reason why the customers with the kid has been refused to be served is that couples with the kid came for dine in and the kid is really naughty while the owner trying to serve. Also, as we known that ramen with broth is really hot and even will made kid injured, and imagine if the kid got scald that parents would definitely blame on the restaurant! Hope all other customers being sober for this whole thing. And for that couples, stop being like bad parents just also your kids running and playing in the restaurant, restaurant is not playground!

Good

Dined in and noticed their poor cleaning protocols - dirty utensils, tables smelling like improperly washed rags, excessive flies, and sticky floors. Would say this is my first and last time eating at this establishment - can t say anything good about the food either.

Fantastic ramen and wonderful staff. The pork was amazing, sweet, juicy, and savoury. Broth and noodles were on point. Highly recommend

Vegan ramen is absolutely delicious. Perfect meal.

Truly Tasty, I hate to say it, is so truly tasty. Their veggie ramen is amazing. And I m also obsessed with their rice gnocchi. Truly tasty is the MVP.

Excellent hot and cold options

Some of the best ramen have had in the city. Small but good menu. This new location has plenty of space and a great atmosphere. The staff are also very friendly. No reason not to come here.

Best ramen Ive ever tried, wasnt expecting to get such good fried chicken here to be entirely honest. Super juicy.

Great ramen. Best in town. Will be back

The Fried Chicken was awesome and so were the Ramen. We liked the fried chicken so much that we ordered a side of it. We were also late but they were kind enough to let us stay another 30 minutes so we could finish our meal. Exceptional service!

The incident that happened few months ago where in an Asian family customer and the owner/server conflict escalated with the police coming was quite unresolved as both parties where just left with explaining their own versions but I wonder if the family customer were WHITE OR CAUCASIAN, I wonder if the truly tasty management would have reacted the same... ... Im guessing there was racism involved towards the Asian family customer from the Truly Tasty Management...but above it all....even if you are the owner of the restaurant, you should have treated your customer with respect and not shouting at them just because you are the owner. As the owner, you should know better to serve your customer regardless of the conflict Just my thoughts.

Got pretty rekt Saturday night and woke up to a cold Sunday morning. I knew a nice warm bowl of ramen was what I needed to cleanse my soul. I order the spicy ham ham ramen and it was absolutely delicious! Would definitely recommend :)

Truly Tasty did not disappoint. Every bite was absolutely delicious.

Their ramen is one of the best in Halifax! And their tree fungus salad is delicious!!

I adore this restaurant! The staff are incredible and the new spot is really beautiful. The portions are huge and the Japanese marble pop is a real treat. Ive been a plethora of times and also find the delivery during Covid is great too! <3. Thank you!

great place! our favorite restaurant.

Portions good, service always friendly, go to spot for Ramen

First time at Truly Tasty and it was truly tasty! Had the spicy tan tan Ramen and enjoyed it. Will go back to try the crispy chicken Ramen next time.

Delicious ramen

The old truly Tasty was much better. They changed the menu and now the light shoyu ramen disappear and the replacement is just meat and broth.

such good ramen !!!! huge portions, you definitely get your money s worth, in my opinion. the new location is so lovely and spacious, a huge improvement from the old location! would definitely recommend and will return !

New location same great food. Would recommend anytime for anyone who has or has not had ramen before.

Excellent in all ways. The pickle plate is truly lovely.

Best ramen in the city, hands down.

Our family has been repeat customers here for several years for a reason! Excellent food, thoughtful, wonderful and friendly staff. New location is even better.

Lovely staff & great food!

Service was great, huge portion sizes and lots of flavor. It was my first time having ramen, and maybe ramen just isnt for me as I didnt enjoy my meal as much (it was still good, just not great) but my partner loooved his enough to boost this to a 5 star review.

Yum yum yum

Food was amazing friendly staff too!

Awesome food. Great presentation. Friendly staff

Loved this little spot. Staff was friendly and personable, restaurant was spotless. You can watch the staff cook from you tables. The noodles are home made & delicious. I has the crispy chicken in miso soup base with noodles. But some of the other dishes looked equally as delicious. Great price & quick service. Take out options also. Definitely going back to try more!

Pretty good ramen and super nice staff

I used to live in China, so Im used to eating noodles very regularly. Eating here was seriously an incredible surprise. There is so much flavour and the amount we received was a lot! Absolutely incredibly delicious! Go and try for yourself!

Incredible service: fast, friendly, and knowledgeable. We were seated quickly and served promptly as well. The food is absolutely exceptional and pricing is really reasonable, especially for the amount of food you get. I wont pretend to know what authentic ramen is, but this place sure seemed it! 10/10 would recommend to anyone! Thank you!

The new place is some much bigger. And you get a satisfying meal for the price. Great place for noodles.

#1 place in Nova Scotia to eat ramen! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is great

Friendly staff and AMAZING food. The new location is great and I love the kitchen being built into the dinning room. When we sat down we were given two glasses of water and a full pitcher without asking for any of it. That is the perfect touch in my opinion. Both dishes we ate had enough to split between two meals each so we were given takeout containers. Another place I know doesnt offer this. My favorite dish is the Tan Tan Ramen (not pictured).

Been to Japan many times. Save to say the ramen here is better than Japan. Absolutely amazing.

Wonderful service, generous portions, delicious food, all served in a spotless, stylish, restaurant.

Not real ramen

Wow what a perfect bowl of noodles on a cold day. Super fast, friendly service, extremely clean space.. I can t wait to go back and try other dishes

It was my first time visiting in a while and it did not disappoint! We had a great experience, well be back !

Love the new location! The ramen is sooooo filling and delicious but dont skip the appys cause they are very well executed!

Great place for ramen! Fast and friendly service, very clean and very well priced. Cant go wrong with it
