Considering a large bowl of pho is under $15- I am impressed! Other places in the city are usually $18+. Fantastic portions and just delicious. I also ordered the meat spring rolls and they were even better than the pho somehow! 10/10 meal, definitely going to be a regular. Their food/containers deliver very well btw!! Everything was perfectly hot. read more

Poor flavors. Ordered pho and cashew chicken, as well as lemongrass chicken. Bland meat, no sauce. The rice was sticky.

Stopped by here on our way back to Halifax. Wife ordered a pho and I ordered a dish with ginger beef and fried rice. This place definitely makes better chinese chop Suey than Vietnamese food...so if you come here expecting spectacular pho.. you probably should order the Chinese food instead But if you have a burning craving for Viet food, there really aren't too many other options you have... So this place would suffice. Overall pricing is ok given they sort of have a monopoly on this type of cuisine..meals ranges around $12-15 per person read more

Finally I have found good Pho in Halifax. No idea it was here all along. This place has it all. Don't even go anywhere else. Hands down best Vietnamese in the city. Yum. read more

Fong Sing Restaurant - Menu page 1 - Chinese Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Fong Sing Restaurant is located in the Clayton Park area. This is a small restaurant and seems to do a lot of take out, at least lunch time was. This was my first time trying here, but it was not the best. The food here was ok. I would not go out of my way to go here though, especially when I know there are other places around the corner. read more

Fong Sing Restaurant - the front of the restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

If you're looking for yummy greasy traditional chinese OR vietnamese, PHO, hot pot ... this is the place. We've tried it twice now and have to say its absolutely delicious! Also reasonably priced for the quality. We've tried nearly every Chinese food place on the peninsula of Halifax and its the best in the West end for sure, if you want more authentic less greasy 9 plus 9 is very good but when you want greasy goodness this is the place to go. Any of the meat dishes we've tried have been tender which is hard to find, meat is not dried out. So far we've had the Kung Pao chicken, Sweet and sour pork (amazing), Ginger beef, fried rices, Wonton soup (devine!) and egg rolls which are the pate filled kind, a fave of ours. Highly recommend! Will add photos later, we forgot to take them..ate too quickly. Happy and satisfied customers. read more

I have a bit of a pho obsession, Since I've been hyping it up so much, my parents wanted to try it. I've heard good things about the pho here so I decided to bring them here. This place is in one of the many strip malls on Lacewood beside a busy bar. It definitely fits the description of a hole in the wall, the decor is nothing fancy. It isn't dirty but it could use a few renovations. We entered the restaurant and were politely greeted and told where to sit. We were handed a menu immediately. My dad ordered the hot and sour soup and pad thai, my mom ordered rare beef pho and a spring roll, my brother ordered a Chinese combination plate, and I ordered kung pow chicken. The food was all brought out at different times. First to come out was my brother's egg roll and my mom's spring roll. My mom raved about her spring roll and I got a chance to try it and it was absolutely fantastic, my brother enjoyed his egg roll too. My dad knows his hot and sour soups, he said his was spicy and it got the seal of approval from him. Next was my brother's combination plate which had chicken balls, rice, and beef with peppers. He gave us two thumbs up for his meal too. My dad's pad Thai was spot on. It was especially delicious with the hot sauce they served us. My kung pow chicken was VERY spicy, just how I like it, lots of really nice veggies with a tangy, tasty sauce. I tried the pho broth and it was really good, spot on. Sadly my mom didn't like it. We told the waitress we wanted the pho to go because my mom didn't like it, and she ordered a wonton soup and an egg roll. The best part of the entire meal: She didn't charge us for the pho! Simply because my mom didn't like it. We were so impressed with that. All around this place deserves it's 5 stars. The bill for all 4 of us was $44, for that price how can you go wrong! The waitress was prompt and polite, and the food was awesome. And my family found a new reasonably priced restaurant to grab some great food. Please do yourself a favor and give this place a try! read more

Vietnamese spring rolls. That's really all I need to say. Because they're delish. My favourite in town, in fact. And I could eat 10 in one sitting, but fortunately for my mid-section, I have enough discipline to keep it at 2. Followed by an enormous bowl of beef Pho, which is equally tasty. Their vermicelli is also great, and while I've only had their Chinese food a handful of times (because I can't pull myself away from the spring rolls and Pho), it's also pretty good. All in all, this is a great location for a group that has varying tastes - Vietnamese for the more adventurous and standard Canadian Chinese for the more mainstream folks in the crowd. Oh, yes, and if you're a Pho takeout fan, their packaging is great - they keep the noodles and broth separate so there's no mushiness happening. And, perhaps most importantly, the serving is every bit as substantial as you get when you eat-in. read more

Had a chance to ride the office "pho train" to Fong Sing recently. Like others have mentioned, don't be fooled by the seemingly sketchy surroundings. Little holes in the wall tucked away in nondescript strip malls have provided me with some of the most delicious meals ever. We rolled in as a big group, during an already busy lunch. Service was a bit scattered, but the food! I had the vegetarian vermicelli with a spring roll cut up on top. DELICIOUS. I'm pretty new to the world of Vietnamese food, but this place sure does seem pretty tasty. They also offer Chinese food (aka American Chinese food) which smelled pretty effing amazing as well. Looking forward to going back to check out some more delicious eats. read more

Use to order from here then stopped for about 6 months, decided to give it a go tonight and I was horribly disappointed. The food was absolutely awful. We got 4 meals delivered. A total of 58 dollars spent, the rice hardly had chicken and very little soya sauce, the chicken was dry as anything in the chicken meal we got, the beef was hard in the beef and broccoli. Needless to say I spent 58.00 to throw it in the garbage and drive to Burger King. I'd rather eat a whopper then the food I got. read more

No matter where you are in Halifax, if you're looking for Vietnamese food, stop looking for grandiose restaurants on main streets and start looking at the strip malls. There seems to be some unspoken rule that says if you're looking for vermicelli or pho, you're most likely to find it sandwiched between a shady corner store and a unlimited tanning joint. Klassy. But don't be deterred because believe it or not, these little holes in the wall, Fong Sing included, deliver the goods. Fong Sing became an office favourite for healthyish lunches without having to stray too far from Bedford. We'd convoy our way toward Applebee's and dip into this great gem of a Vietnamese diner. The same lady was there every day to greet us with a smile and she certainly made sure we got our food fast. She might not be warm and fuzzy, but she gets the job done with ease. The pho always earned rave reviews with my skilled eating partners while I always stuck with my incredibly satisfying bowl of vermicelli with tofu, fresh veggies, and a veggie spring roll chopped up on top (this is a combination of two menu items but our lady managed to figure out something that worked for both me and her). I'd always leave full but not bloated and feeling much better than if I had eaten a sub or any other kind of food measured by the foot. read more

I got the pork dumplings which were not pretty looking but they were very tasty, better than a lot I have had in the area. The eggroll is a chicken curry paste it had the spicy of curry but not the flavour I was slightly disappointed but it was still pretty good. I also got the Veggie Lo Mein, it was very bland and dry I put my own soy sauce on it and it was better. read more

This place is excellent. I have been coming here for almost 20 years and have never been disappointed. Disguised as a hole in the wall this place looks like a pass on by but really has an excellent following of loyal customers. The interior is simple and relaxing. The veggies used in the dishes are very tasty and fresh. Love the sauces they use and the service has always been attentive and welcoming. Take-out is available also and very fast. What more can you ask for? This place is sort of a "sleeper" in retrospect as the last time I was at this place two friends walked in on separate occasions and told me they always come here (unbeknown to me). Needless to say we now may start a fan club for Fong Sing! read more

Went in tonight... approx. 7:30. Not a sole in the place, and its Mothers Day. We had a take out order for S&S Chicken, 2 spring rolls, and 3 egg rolls. We were told to pickup the order in 15-20 min, and I was there within 15. When we opened the Chicken, the sauce was cold. :( It made the experience so unenjoyable... then to top it off, one of the spring rolls had a HUMAN HAIR STICKING out of it... COOKED RIGHT IN! Yummy, not. Then I went to the website, and it says... "We specialize in both Vietnamese and Chinese Cuisine. come in and give us a try - you won't be disappointed!" I figure if you have a website... there must be an email address for customers to let them know how we felt.... nothing! So I tried to call... line disconnected twice before I could speak to anyone.... frustrating! We'll we were disappointed.... extremely. Now... I leave my comments here. Thanks Yelp. read more

I'm constantly looking for good Asian food locations, and it's true that the best ones are always a bit of the beaten path. Fong Sing is a favourite "pho friday" location for the work crowd at my office, and I always enjoy a good bowl of vermicelli. I don't care that the service is slightly slow and a bit disorganized; in a way it adds to the charm. But, if you are looking for anything more than good food, don't bother. You likely will have to wait a bit. And, don't expect the cutlery to be pre-arranged on the tables. But, you will always see the same familiar faces, and there's something comforting in that. read more

Fong Sing is a tiny little Chinese food restaurant tucked in-between a hair salon and a tanning parlour. Funniest place for a Chinese restaurant, but it works for them. We ended up here one grey day when we didn't feel like heading out of our immediate area to grab some food. Not having been here before, we were a bit suspect of the type-cast shopping plaza Chinese food. Not to worry - Fong Sing exceeded our expectations. The spring rolls are amazingly well done here, as is the seafood. We demolished our food and followed up with some well-brewed green tea. The prices are very reasonable for Chinese, and the staff - although taciturn - were capable and efficient. read more

I just ordered from here and I was sadly disappointed. I ordered a combination meal, shanghai noodles, and egg rolls. The gingered beef in the combo was dry. The rice was fine. The worst part of the meal was the shanghai noodles. There was no flavour and the noodles were mushy. Way over cooked. The shrimp in it were tough aswell. They also didn't give me any soya sauce or any plum sauce for my egg rolls. read more

First time, and last time I'll ever eat here. Food was undercooked (chowmein and vegetables). One waiter, waited long time for food, it was lukewarm to cold when it arrived. Egg rolls were very good and the sweet and sour chicken was mostly chicken and little batter, but very little sweet and sour sauce (cheep). I would not recommend this place. read more

Wait times are insane and they got my order wrong twice.. and the food was cold when I got it. For the price I paid I was disappointed. I no longer go to this place. read more

I was pleasantly surprised here. The spring roll noodles were perfection and the hot and sour soup was delightful. I will be returning here, my new pho/noodle addiction! read more

I had an excellent chicken pho and my friend had the spicy beef pho. The server was very friendly and explained the dishes to us. I thought the pho was spot on; served with a big plate of sprouts sauces etc. At $9.50 I thought the price was good so I will be back. read more

Four of us went for dinner. Three had pho, one had a "Chinese" combo. All of the food was very fresh, but the "Chinese" was a better choice. The pho was okay, but there is beter in the city. The beef was very tender, but the broth was overwhelmingly flavoured of star anise, rather than the layers of complexity that make a great pho. It was served with a very fresh plate of bean sprouts and cilantro. But there was no basil, which is a big problem for me. There was also lemon rather than lime; lime is much better. Service was a bit slow, but friendly. read more

These guys make a pretty good Pho soup. Probably as good as any that I've had in Halifax, they are pretty generous with the sprouts and herbs and the "Special" is a combo of beef balls, flank and shaved something. Very tasty. I would recommend their Vietnamese menu items. read more

I haven't tried anything else but their Pho (Chicken, Pork and Beef... I prefer the pork the best). Really good Pho, love how I can add as much sweet and spice as I want. Friendly staff, small restaurant, some prefer to take out, either way it's really good. read more

I had the pork Pho. Really good just watch out for the hot sauce on the table. Better yet do not use it. It is a killer hot sauce. Even a few drops will be all you taste in your pho. Better to just enjoy the fresh taste then put that stuff in. read more

This is my favorite Pho restaurant in Halifax. Coming from Vancouver, my tastebuds are rather snobby when it comes to authentic cuisine. My score is based on service and flavor of the pho. I ordered the beef /beef ball Pho and spring roll. I have never tried anything else on their menu. The restaurant is located in Clayton Park off of Lacewood across the street from Sobeys. Lots of parking as well. read more

Consistently excellent. Always quick, friendly and attentive with great food. What more could you all for really?

Fong Sing has been a fixture in a Clayton Park strip mall for 20 years. When they first opened in the mid 90s they were a refreshing change to the sea of pizza and donairs places. The owners are Vietnamese I believe and I had my first pho soup here. I haven't had anything other than pho for years but a friend mentioned how much he liked their Vietnamese bun (or noodles) so I decided to try one for lunch. I quickly checked the Fong Sing website and decided on the pork bun. They moved sometime in past few months to a location directly opposite their old one and are close to the women's only Goodlife. The old location was showing its age so it was nice to see fresh furniture and paint. The person working at the counter took my order and said it would be 20 minutes to grill the pork. I paid my $14 and change after tax.I got it to go. I appreciate that they make the order fresh so didn't mind the wait. I busied myself with some errands and swung back close to 20 minutes later. True to her word the waitress had my order waiting when I returned. I flipped open the take out container and tucked in as I drove to next appointment. It looked pretty appetizing with the cut up pork cutlet resting on a bed of vermicelli. The pork was tender and topped with some carmelized onions. No complaints there. I poked around with a chopstick and noticed some green underneath. Looking good so far. I mixed it all up and gave it another taste. Unfortunately it was pretty bland... where was the basil, cilantro or other herbs? When eaten together the bland noodles and lettuce smothered the pork cutlet. On further examination the vegetables were pretty much iceberg lettuce with a few small pieces of shredded cuke sprouts. I added the entire, supplied small container of fish sauce which helped in the flavour a bit but overall I found it lacking. Could have been so much better; even if they had added some chili slices. I definitely didn't feel like it was worth $14. read more

The food was very salty and except for the egg rolls and spring rolls awful. Our daughter had the cliched fly in her soup, off putting.

This place makes amazing chinese food in my opinion, obviously it isn't fancy dining but it's great take out food. I recommend this place!

Wife and I had lunch at Fong Sing. I had the new Bahn Mi sandwich, it was excellent combined with Vietnamese hot and sour soup. Will definitely be coming back for those. I usually get Pho, which I love. They have the best pho broth in the HRM. Great food, excellent service, another great lunch !! read more

Having recently left Denver I thought I'd never find a Pho place equal to Pho79 . A random Yelp search found Fong Sing. I thought I'd try it, it has some great reviews. I am pleased to say... I have found my new Pho place!!!! I had the "Salad roll" and chicken pho.... The broth was flavourful and had plenty of chicken, noodles were great! It reminded me of having Pho with all my friends in Denver.... read more

Food was pretty good. Had a bit of a wait after ordering in - it was a busy night though. Solid food but may not be the best around.

Just had an order delivered to 112 Greenpark Closeand I have to tell you the food was amazing. The delivery gent apologized for the wait but the food was fresh, hot, and awesome. Thank you so much. Very reasonably priced. read more

I am among the few that have only tried the pho here but it is definitely my #1 spot when I get the craving.
