Was super excited to try this restaurant but it was not as great as I expected. The meals are extremely large in size and you definitely get your moneys worth! The lamb noodles were yummy and the quality of the beef short ribs were great! However, the ice cream was extremely expensive for just a few spoonfuls and I was a bit confused on why they would add mango popping pearls as it was brown sugar milk tea flavoured ice cream. As well, the shaved ice was an extreme letdown :( The ice was very chunky and was not shaved down at all, so instead of being creamy, the halo halo was very sharp and crunchy. The appearance of all the dishes were all so beautiful and the restaurant was so cozy? Overall, I would recommend coming here if you’ve been wanting to try it out, but for me personally, the taste of the food was a let down (especially the deserts). However, I would recommend this place for their main meals as the portions are generous and the atmosphere and customer service was great!?

The taste is really good. I thought these dishes were sweet and modified locally, but I was surprised. Especially the sea bass (probably) is extremely delicious and paired with a layer of mango. It tastes very refreshing. The sea bass should be prepared in advance. salted
Oh I packed my chicken but I forgot it
Oops, the chicken is real firewood, not as delicious as ?
It's a pretty good place.
Fantastic fish and milk tea ice cream(little bit sweet)
When I want order one more fish they told me they don't have fish now

Food is excellent and well worth the price! The selections were great as well as the serving portions. The server Leslie was really helpful and friendly with the menu and told us about the restaurant. The food that was served at the other tables looked awesome and will definitely come back. Hard to believe they’ve only been open a month!

Great Singapore Noodles!

Try it as a lunch combo (with an egg roll).

Really amazing spot, went with family for birthday, we all shared a bunch of food together. Everything was really delicious and unique, especially for Halifax. The service was honestly the best in the city the waiters were constantly attentive, especially since we had a large party and they were able to take care of all of us. The restaurant itself is small but has an amazing vibe. I love the ceiling.

Delicious food and cocktails, fantastic and dedicated staff, and great atmosphere! I had the Pok- Pok (jumbo fried chicken wings), Jumok Bab-nori (rice ball), Outslaw (salad) and Ben's BBQ Pork Buns. Would order it all again, but would recommend a buddy to share with.

Enjoyed the meal immensely. I sat at the bar as I always do when eating solo. I was fortunate to be served by Mae, who was a true professional.

Some fun Chinese ingredients too. The executive chef was seated close to me and I asked him about a particular ingredient, olive leaf. He told me they ferment and press the leaves into a paste and is a traditional Chinese ingredient. This was amongst many other inventive ingredients on the menu.

The open kitchen has a few dozen cookbooks which are owned by the chef. I asked if I could read one, and he said that’s what they were there for.

With the open kitchen it might be a tad loud, but it didn’t bother me. Pan-pacific decor lends to a cool and casual vibe.

Food was excellent. The Singapore vermicelli noodles with shrimp and pork was perfectly cooked, it brought me back to my early 20's when a take out of said dish at the Silver Dragon on Young Street would last three meals, with each being better as the curry intensified.

For a new resto, this one is polished all ready. Kudos.

Arrived here about 5pm on a sunny Saturday in September. The place was mostly empty, so we were asked where we would like to sit and I pointed to a table at the front that had a neat looking seat (looked like a tree stump, painted red, sturdier than the other regular chairs). The place is heavily staffed and they are very attentive, coming constantly to make sure things are ok and if you want more. My friend and I decided to share several menu items. The Tapioca Shrimp Chips with XO Caramel Kewpie Dip ($8) were good, rice cake texture, in two shapes & colors, very light. The Twisted Pods (edamame with peanuts & Szechuan pepper sauce, $7) were very good and savory. Small serving but that's ok. The Egg Rolls (cabbage, bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, red currant dipping sauce, three pieces for $14) were excellent. Look like your everyday egg roll but just a lot better, slightly greasy, very crunchy. The Singpore Rice Vermicelli noodles (shrimp, bbq pork, egg curry, $21) are definitely a main for one person, good flavor, the noodles on the tad dry like which I prefer). I'd go back here.

Very good experience. Food and cocktails on point. Every dish was flavourful. We almost ordered everything on the menu. Service was pleasant. The Asian lady dropping off the food was very informative and happy to be there. Lighting on point. Hostess was attentive. Kitchen staff looked happy. Nice open kitchen. Will def be back

Friends and I celebrated a birthday here last week. There were a number of challenging allergies at the table and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. A manager came to the table with every dish and made sure we knew who could eat what. Our server Michael was super friendly and had great recommendations. Have been talking it up to everyone since, 100% recommend!

Absolutely delicious! The lechon was a crunchy and melt in your mouth delight. The slaw was gorgeously presented and tasted even better. Cocktails and ambiance are on point. Great spot for friends or a date night. Don't miss out on the pok pok chicken wings they're soooo good. I'm super excited to go back and try everything!!

I was unable to eat with my coworkers due to a severe peanut allergy and the staff was incredibly accommodating. They offered to pick food up for me food from any of the other restaurants along the queens marque and plated up my food from elsewhere for me so I could eat with everyone. Incredible service and staff.

Food was delicious, asian cuisine with a modern twist. We had lamb slap noodles (that were absolutely amazing), ribs, and a few cocktails.
Drinks were also unique and presented beautifully.
I recommend this place as everyone will find something to their taste!
