We have been customers for over 10 years and have always enjoyed the food. We got take out for supper yesterday and we're very disappointed 😞 The egg rolls were cold inside, the carrots were hard (as if they weren't cooked), the broccoli was just stems and the chicken was all grisly Not sure we will ever go back
The Dinner for 3 was delicious, I was able to call it in on my way home from work and the food was still hot at pick up and by the time I got home. This is the household go to spot for Chinese food from now on! Amazing food, very friendly staff.
This was our favourite Chinese restaurant. We have been ordering food from there for years. Tonight the food was horrible. It was cold. Ribs were dry with no sauce. The almond guy ding looked like it was a bag of carrots with a few almonds and was cold. We live about 5 minutes from restaurant and we had to put our food in the microwave. Very Very disappointing. I called to describe our order. Manager said thanks for letting me know
As a visitor from Scotland this was my first visit to King Town. Excellent food tasty and beautifully cooked. Crispy beef, Lemon Chicken, Vegetable Chow mein,Fried Rice and Spring Rolls were all first class as was service. One thing which caused consternation and became quite funny was that they had no prawn crackers on the menu I found it so strange that they didn't even seem to know what they were, so i showed them a recent pic from Scotland They said Oh!!them. No we still dont have any which sent us all into fits of laughter. A great night of chinese dining.
King Town. We drove 30 minutes to visit our former favourite Chinese Restaurant. We went on Mother’s Day. Not very busy. Only 1 waitress to take care of 5 tables plus takeout orders. First thing we noticed was a new menu. My wife looked for her normal choice but no longer on the menu. She chose another selection after asking about the lunch menu on the blackboard and was told because it was Mother’s Day they were not available. We also asked about a half order that we normally additional order and we were told not available as well. My wife was not satisfied at the end. I had the Won Ton Soup and my selection which was available. They were good as normal. We waited over 20 minutes for the food to arrive. Perhaps a new cook. After all said and done it might be awhile before we visit again. Time to find a different option.
The best food. Living in Halifax we didn´t hesitate to eat there whenever we could, or buy to eat at home. Always fresh. Truly widely recommended. Be careful with the sizes of the soup. The first time we thought that the 1/2 bowl size would not be enough and we ordered 1 full bowl for each... of course we had to order takeout containers LOL... We miss all of you King Town and we send a warm greeting. We hope to visit NS one day to enjoy your food again.
Edit to add photo and say the food is still fantastic, I think it’s even got better! Pictured is the Singapore noodles, spicy chicken and meat egg roll. I meant to take a photo before serving but honestly if you can see that large meal and still how much remains it’s pretty impressive! It’s a favourite of mine, I crave those noodles regularly lol. Best Singapore noodles ever and great eggrolls. Portions are fantastic!
We have been meaning to try King Town for a while now, as we pass it regularly it just isn't our local spot. Decided to give it a go tonight, and we weren't disappointed! The woman on the phone was very friendly but also efficient. We couldn't believe that everything was ready in 10 minutes! By the time we drove there it was bagged and ready to go. We ordered chicken balls, mushroom fried rice, and fried vermicelli singapore style noodles. First of all, the mushroom fried rice is so fresh - and they're real mushrooms which makes me happy. It was really flavourful! There were a few big chunks of white rice inside of the rice, but it happens. We have always preferred lemon chicken sauce over sweet and sour, but prefer the balls over the pieces. The woman was very accommodating and allowed us to have lemon sauce on the side instead. The ratio of chicken to batter is really good! Big pieces of meat. The lemon sauce is tasty, too. My husband is the only one who eats the singapore noodles; he grew up in England where they tend to be a bit spicier and more of a chilli flavour than curry. He said the shrimp and pork inside of the noodles were good sized and flavored pieces, he just misses the spiciness that we haven't found here yet. Overall, a really good experience - we would definitely go here again to try other things. Hopefully dine in is open soon!
I eat at kingtown often I got a takeout order of general chows chicken i told the lady that it tasted terrible no flavor she told ti take the food back I told her that i lived in dartmouth and she saud only five dollars off I said I wont be back very poor service
Restaurant doesnt follow the instructions provided i ordered Fried rice with no bean sprouts, but Restaurant deliberately added extra bean sprouts and now the restaurant is denying to provide me refund, very cheap people
Very taste dishes, served hot, generous proportions and pleasant service.
Meat filled egg rolls were not as expected stick with regular cabbage egg rolls. Spring rolls were great. Honey garlic ribs disappointed while beef and broccoli was ok. Almond guy ding was good.
NEVER EAT HERE. IT HAS GONE DOWN HILL. DISGUSTING FOOD. I GOT THE WORST FOOD POISONING OF MY LIFE FROM EATING THERE SATURDAY NIGHT. JUST FEELING BETTER NOW. ARE YOU GUYS TRYING TO KILL PEOPLE? WOW. NEVER AGAIN. DO NOT EAT HERE
Food was amazing, the chicken balls were huge and full of meat, unlike most where you bite in and it s mostly air with a tiny nugget inside. The fried ginger beef was THE best I ve ever had, hands down. Bonus was that with the promo with Uber paid for the ginger beef order !! Definitely recommend
Very good service, all food tasted very fresh and delicious, will definitely come back next time:)
Orders were taken by one waitress - food was delivered by another. Two of the five people in our party didn t get what they asked for. Two of our five people were brought their food about 10 minutes before the rest of us. Food was cold upon arrival. Food had no taste. The waitress delivering the food, when asked about the time difference in the food delivery to the table, offered the excuse that they were very busy and very short staffed. I understand that but why should this be our problem? Not happy with the first waitress who took our order who gave us 50% off one dish. We won t be back.
The best Chinese food in the HRM. Consistent and delicious. Never fails to impress. The Spicy chicken is incredible and highly recommend. Go here at least once a month, and never disappoints. Quality food, and great serving size.
Got an order with ginger chicken, lemon chicken, rice and egg roll and got the most violent food poisoning of my life. 2nd time eating here 2nd time violently ill from their food. I was throwing up so hard from eating their food I popped a blood vessel in my eye, avoid at all cost if you value your health
Good food good quantity
We had great food and the service was excellent. We will definitely be back in the future.
Order from King Town many of times. But I do not know what they did on my order. Ordered 9 combo plates. For my company. And I realized it was New Years. But I ordered it the night before. And pick up at 12.30om. But when we went to eat it. The foul smell of the rice was so bad. That none of us ate it. Ive always orderd in advance. But never ever had this issue before. Can anyone else let me know if they had the same issue plesse. Thanks
Although I have been going there over 20 years I do not recommend Singapore noodles. The curry was so hot it destroyed the flavour. I ended up tossing the meal. But it s a fabulous place and first time in 20 years I was disappointed.
This is my go to Chinese spot. Always great portions and great tasting food. Service is always nice as well. Ill definitely be back
Very friendly staff and so pleasant. The owner is so nice and always remembers what you like. Great place to eat good portions and very fresh food.
Great food.
I have taken friends here often. Always impressed with food; the dishes are packed with flavour and lots of delightfully prepared vegetables!
We were there tonight for supper. Food was hot, fresh and absolutely delicious! Service was in a timely fashion.The staff are very friendly and attentive. Kudos.
I drive all the way from Hubbards to this restaurant for my Chinese food even though there is one in Tantallon. We used to live just up the street from here and ate here many times. I haven t found Chinese food as good anywhere else. The food here is always good, fresh and hot. Customer service is also top notch. Never a complaint.
Awesome lil spot to grab a bite, great quality and great prices.
Generous portions, good price. Somewhat inconsistent on flavor. Ive gotten the Singapore noodle and its had good flavor (mild curry) other times its been lacking. Same with the honey garlic chicken. Best Sweet and sour chicken balls going though, its never disappointed. Really nice staff and quick turnaround on orders. Overall a great local spot for old school Canadian influenced Chinese food. Dine in is pretty retro, but its clean and seemingly well maintained.
Place was very cold. Food got cold quickly. That is really the only thing I didnt like and it was my first visit.
Good fresh food, very tasty. A busy spot for eat in and takeout! That should tell you its good. Reasonable prices.
Food was fresh and plentiful and the service was fast and great!! We will be back.
Great food, fast and friendly service! Ordered food on New Years Eve and only waited 15 minutes!
Great portions for your buck, fast , friendly staff, highly recommend
New years eve was a busy night for them, but the food was absolutely fantastic!
Very consistent and piping hot
Went there for New Years Eve. take out. Were they busy? Ohh yeah....But with great spirit they pushed through the stacks of orders in style....food was great.
Diner for 3. Flavourful was very bland. Found a hair in my sweet n sour chicken balls as soon as I opened it. Pr ordered...was still 30 mins late.
This place has gone down hill. Been coming here for 15 years and I m officially never ordering again.
They had the best deep-fried wonton in HRM, and they changed the pastry, now its just like all Chinese restaurants. I wont be back.
Great food and wonderful staff. Kid-friendliness: Always cheerful & helpful
I have had take out also and the garlic spareribs for their eat in menu was mostly bone compared to previous take out. Overall, a 4 star.
Food was good . Service slow and very cold in restaurant. Blamed on cold weather but heat was in bathroom .
We usually got our Chinese food from Long Dragon but as you know they have closed.Tonight we had the chicken chow mein,beef fried rice ,chicken balls,Singapore noodles and tired for the first time le mein pork noodles.Everything was delicious,but the Singapore noodles didn t have much flavour like we was use too .The new wontons are amazing.We will be back as it was a good meal with lots left over.
Food and staff were great. Very busy restaurant, but staff is very attentive.
The best Chinese in Sackville...good friendly service...food is always great
Absolutely delicious! And we are from Vancouver! Well done!
This is my go to Chinese restaurant here in lower Sackville. They have great menu options and the food quality is consistent whenever I order. Would definitely count it as one of the best around here!
Generous portions and no waiting, always good food
We had a beautiful meal with incredible service. Parking: Level with accessible parking available. Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible.
Awesome food always.
Recently had an ER nurse hell me eith a client and I dropped off Thank you egg rolls from here. She texted back tgey were yhe best she had! Love spicy chicken myself!!
So good!
Good food at a reasonable price. One of our preferred spots for Chinese food. Try the pan fried dumplings. Home made and very tasty.
good food, beautiful interior atmosphere, great service
Cheapest and laziest food I ve ever ordered. Combo plate supposed to come with chicken fried rice. Was literally rice and soy sauce. No chicken, no spring onions, no egg, not even frozen peas. Ordered Lo Mein, got chow mein, dry as a bone with almost no meat or vegetables, just a mass of instant noodles. Worth $2, not $15. I would expect better from a steam tray in a mall food court. They clearly don t care
Rice and chicken were good. Chow main noodles came burnt and whole dish tasted burnt as a result
Food and service was Great.
Service was very quick. Food was hot and lots of it. Food
Great staff and big servings
I miss the previous staff, the previous food, and the previous everything :(
This was previously the best Chinese in the area - fresh and tasty generous meat to veg ratios, and great value. Unfortunately it look like there has been a change of management, and now this is probably the worst place on the area. Ginger beef that consists almost entirely of carrrot chunks with only a few slivers of meat in a too-sweet syrupy sauce. Chicken curry that is, again, almost entirely cheap vegetable cuts with a bland sweet sauce.
Very good food and friendly service.
Great food and excellent service! We were a group of 11 and we really cant complain at all. You folks are great!
Best in HRM!! Always fresh and plentiful!! Their shrimp wontons are sooooooooo good!!!
One of the usual go to spots to scratch that food itch. Pretty standard fare for Chinese food around here, but generally better than most others. Overall delicious!
We have had many great meals here, but tonight was not one of them. We purchased take out and the Chicken Soo Guy had very thick batter and was soft and tasted like uncooked dough. The Chicken Balls had a similar issue, but not as bad as the Soo Guy. Very disappointing. Someone was not keeping up on quality control.
Used to be a great spot. Disgusting bland food now. Tasted like left overs. Food : 1/5
Didn t get my full order. Food was hot Upon delivery. Not the same quality as it used to be. Very bland and disappointed in you Kingtown. Also spent $100+. Food
I travel alone..felt very comfortable here portions were huge..food was good..service good..not crowded when I went which was good for me..flew in from Ontario and found this place not too far from my hotel
Disappointing. Came here from Halifax as we had been in the past and always liked it. Portions were not what we expected at all. Spicy chicken was chewy and did not seem fresh. Chow mien did not seem fresh either and had a grey ish Colour. The good, the egg rolls were tasty and the chicken balls were the best part of the meal. In the future I think I would save myself the drive and stay in Halifax. Very unfortunate.
Amazing food love it there.
So good. Highly recommend.
Delicious food and lots of it !
Wow. This was hands down the best Canadian Chinese I have had. 10/10. Everything was hot and each item tasted like fresh tasty food and not alll the same. The spicy chicken combo is awesome. It is not spicy at all also the chicken ball combo is delicious. Don t change folks you have great food guy ding was delicious
Very personal
Spent may years going to another place in Sackville. Have made the change to here to have more tasty consistent flavor and correct food. Wish we made the changes years ago. Great food, great taste, great workers.
Terrific Chinese food.
Tasty, good portion size and great service.
I had never heard of this place even though it s only up the street and decided to give it a try. WELLLL let me tell you. The food is AMAZING. It s so good, reasonably priced, staff is super friendly and did I mention the food tastes awesome ?? Definitely recommend. Especially the lemon chicken and beef and broccoli.
Delicious food.
Not a bad place, great staff there and great atmosphere in the restaurant but the food is just okay !
Delicious food, great prices, staff are very friendly and accommodating! Particularly excellent ginger beef and Singapore fried vermicelli.
Heard you were the best sorry somebody has no taste buds. Go to Jinlong on sackville drive take a order out and you will know Portion our bigger wontons they got meat in them not the scape you got in yours First and last I will stick to the number one in sackville Jinlong and for u others out there give it a go you will go back
This has been my go to in Lower Sackville for 10 years or so. Always friendly. And always great food.
Freshest food! Really friendly service, super tasty.
First time I did delivery and they were fast and the food was hot! Never get hot food on delivery but you will here. Best Chinese food in Sackville.
Fresh food delivered really fast. The portions are huge compared to other places and the taste is amazing. We a family of four ordered dinner for two with Singapore vermicelli noodles and lemon chicken. We had a nice portion of left over for the next day. Amazing place and really friendly staff. The food is really very good with the correct amount of spices and temperature. Definitely recommend when you are there.
Overall - 46/50 I definitely recommend it. (Details bellow) Service - 9/10 great service, they were really friendly and it would ve been a 10/10 but I feel like they could ve checked our table a bit more often Sanitation - 8/10 the place was really clean it s just the bathrooms were kind of dirty, like the walls, door and floor Convenience - 10/10 there was a hand sanitizer bottle on a table, the bathrooms were easy to find, the tables were comfortable and there was even a sofa for people waiting on take out Decor - 10/10 the place was really colourful and everywhere you looked you would see a decoration like on the walls floor and even ceiling. They even went as far as to put a fish tank full of fish Food - 9/10 everything was good but the noodles were a bit dry. Also we ordered food for two and there was a big plate of rice, a bunch of lemon chicken and probably 20 chicken balls. In my opinion it was a bit too much for two people
Always enjoy their food
The best Chinese food Ive ever had. Well worth the time.
They forgot part of my order
Never a disappointing experience. The food is great, the service is better.
An excellent meal and everything tasted freshly made!
Awesome portions! Fresh and full of flavor! Definitely a go to!
Nice food, good pricing and generous portions. Lacks atmosphere for dining in. Very good for takeout.
Mmmm it was delicious, with generous portions and made fresh as ordered.
Visit most Fridays. Food is always great and service is excellent.
Great food
Had this place a few times with no issues. Tonight is a different story. I just threw $40 worth of food in the garbage. Bones and other hard pieces of I don t know what throughout my chicken. Sweet and sour pork for some reason was done like chicken balls (they ve never done it like this before) and anywhere else I ve ordered Chinese from in 30 years has never done it that way either. Pork was over cooked and tough as nails. Called them to let them know about it and nothing. Did not try to make amends what so ever will not go back.
I found a blue elastic band in my egg roll and was told when I called that mistakes happen and I could be credited for two egg rolls on my next order
We ate lunch there randomly one Saturday afternoon. We had the Shrimp Wontons, Spring Rolls, Chicken Pad Thai and Shrimp Curry. It was all fantastic! Very clean place, very friendly staff and great food. Will definitely go again.
Food was really really good!! I found the place by luck and for sure I will come back
I think this is the best Chinese food in the HRM. Hot and delicious and just a great experience overall.
The service, the staff and the food are incredible every time we visit. Hands down the best Chinese food in HRM. Worth traveling for.
Tried to order from Wingfu and they have awful customer service and Kingtown is our go to place. They took my New Year s Eve order and said they would try their best to accommodate the time ordered. So friendly, great food and I ve been a loyal customer for quite sometime now. When we moved away we still try and come to them as often as possible. Highly recommend!!!!! Thank you Kingtown for your great service!
Best spring rolls ever!
The wife and I decided to try King Town Restaurant for our Chinese New Years Eve dinner for the first time. Looked like lots of good reviews on the food so we said why not try it out. Well we were very disappointed as the chicken balls were very dry as well as the rice and the chow mein. Apparently the reviewers that think this is good Chinese food have never been to The Great Wall Restaurant in Halifax. Sorry King Town we wont be returning.
Amazing food every time!
Food was good BUT really upset that they wont open their dining room for eating in service like EVERYONE else has
My daughter has been going here for lunch take-out regularly because her work isnt far. She gets the lunch deals often. My wife and i decided to try it last night. The LoMien & Lemon Chicken were not bad but the Mixed Veggies wasnt exactly how it should be. It was just broccoli over broccoli with some carrots.
Great food and really fast service
Amazing food
Awesome food great service
Good prices with ok food
I rarely order Chinese take-out. Im always guessing what Ill get. My first time trying King Town; I ordered Chow Mein, Orange Beef and S&S Chicken. Good price, large portions, and more than two could eat at one time. This was really good, everything tasted exactly as it should and very fast. Ill be returning to try other selections.
Good food
For me a new discovery of a restaurant in lower Sackville thats been here for decades. How did I not know about this place before now? Its the best tasting Chinese food restaurant in the immediate area. Great value in taste and portions for the dollars. Very friendly staff.
Its OK, was expecting more...
My favorite place
Ive eaten here a few times. Staff is friendly. Food is amazing. Highly recommended.
Food is consistently good. Have been going to this restaurant for many years.

Always welcoming and a fantastic meal.
Its a fabulous place to eat

When you want the best! KingTown is the place.
Great food
It s salty but the food is great as are the people. So friendly and top notch service always.
Wow, what a feed. My wife and I ate at the Keg for $130.00 . At King Town I just picked up an order of combination plates for 9 people. Cost $150.00. It was delicious, hot and there were leftovers. Couldnt ask for better. Huge Thumbs Up. #kingtown
Ordered #38 from the menu. Got 6 fried shrimp (not spicy at all) for $15. Rice was forgotten. Last Christmas lunch we order from here.
Loved the food and price
Lisa was my server and she was a delight plus the food was beautiful! Not much MSG and was so fresh. I would recommend this restaurant for any occasion
I usually love King Town, the food and staff are great. However today my friends and I decided to have our new years day dinner @ home and ordered our meal from King Town. We were enjoying our meal when we heard a loud crunch and one of my friends spat out a large piece of gravel. Shed been eating the broccoli so it obviously hasnt been washed .....gross. So that ended our meal very quickly. My friends jaw is aching at the moment and she may be going to the dentist...... not impressed.
Great food great prices
Great food
Always amazing food, great service, good price, what more could you ask for!
I usually get the noodles here and I love them they are always good. Highly recommend this spot
Very impressive food and customer service highly recommend, hard place to find if you are not used to the area.
Went in tonight hoping for some great chinese and was pretty shocked at what we recieved, everything was bland my wife described the chow mein as being soaked in hot water with no flavor. Pretty much everything we had was flavorless. Compared to other visits I was pretty dissatisfied. And unfortunately I talked it up to my wife who now never wants to go back.
My wife and I ordered from King Town for the first time. Service was prompt, polite and got our order ready promptly. The food was arguably the best takeout weve had. Prices are great, and quantity and quality are well worth every penny.
Kingtown great food good prices you really got what you pay for their the portions are very large
Always great, friendly service here. Food is amazing, portions are huge, prices are more than fair. All this combined has kept me as a loyal customer for over 20 years!
I ordered well in advance from home. They said 25 min. Went there after 30 min and it was not ready. They told a few minutes more. There were people coming in after me, placing their orders and leaving with their orders before me. Waited another 20 minutes.
Best general gao (spicy chicken) ever! So friendly and nice. Really clean and comfortable.
Food was good and not expensive
Love the food.Always get lots of food
Good food, quick service
Great food, prices and service
Best value for your money and the food is great. Hands down our favorite Chinese restaurant.
Tried calling, several times. Either got a busy signal, got hung up on twice, or no answer.
We order from here semi-often and were never disappointed. The food is always great and it is reasonably priced compared to some other places. Service is always quick, and the order is ready for pickup usually within 10 min of me calling. Highly recommended
Had my first King Town fix tonight after the restaurant being closed. The one hour wait for pick up was worth it because the food is so good. The only negative thing is the combo doesnt seem as full as I remember. Its still my go to place for Chinese in Sackville though!
Ive been going here for about 2 years. Usually consistent however June 11 2020 grossest food ever. No chicken in the chicken balls. Threw away honey garlic spare ribs, rice was blank with no flavour. 50 dollar order half in the composter. I will not be returning back to foosing I guess
Awesome as always!! My favorite place..and i was a Chinese cook for 10 years! Great food.. fast and fabulous service!
The best chicken balls!
Easily the best spicy chicken and chow mein Ive had in town.
Theeee BEST Chinese food in HRM!!!.. Jus Sayin...
Great service and my favourite egg roll in the area
It was very good. Wonton and rice were very good
Awesome as always
Didnt receive our order of spicy Shanghai noodles, received soggy spring rolls instead of egg rolls. Overall the food was bland and oily. Honey garlic ribs were drenched in oil, spicy chicken was rubbery and hard. Definitely not up to the hype of the reviews and would have taken it back if I wasnt 45 minutes away, instead most of it will go in the green bin. Wont be ordering again.
Got sringrolls instead of eggs rolls Spicy chicken was badly over cooked and the rice had no flavor to it at all also never got noodles that were pained for
Been eating here since I was a kid. Nearly 20 years later and I still say this is the best Chinese in Nova Scotia.
Love the food
Had lunch, ordered combination plate, reasonably priced food. Great service
Ok I had great service and food There was a lot of food for the money
Delicious huge portions, and very nice and attentive staff!
Always great value for lunch !
Nowhere Id rather go in Sackville for the lunch special. #4 Spicy always wins.
Good food, great prices, and friendly staff.
Weve been getting take out from Kingstown for years. Great food, fair prices, great portions and above all, excellent service.
