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.

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...
