Jincheng Chinese Cuisine - Halifax

Eat here! Whatever you fancy about Chinese food, you will find it here. The portions were large and the variety was impressive - from the very authentic to the fairly tame. I did notice that patrons waited patiently as each table was fully served in the order that they arrived. It was very interesting to watch but ultimately worth the wait.

Authentic, delicious, spicy, amazing food. I would recommend if you are ordering to go to order it at least an hour before you want it. Also if ordering in be prepared to wait, there is one chef and it takes awhile as everything is fresh, and worth it!

This isn't a fancy setting, but the food is amazing and authentic. The chef/owner comes from Chengdu, which is the centre of Sichuan cuisine. I've been several times over the past year or so, and it is only getting better. Authenticity is confirmed by the number of Chinese university students seen there regularly.The hot and sour soup was appropriately spicy and sour, but had a brightness from fresh tomatoes that isn't usually present in Chinese hot & sour. Twice cooked pork contained incredibly tender morsels of pork belly with chile and "numbing" Sichuan pepper, but also with a slight underlying sweetness. Incredible. Spiciness can, of course, be modified to individual taste.They have some convenient lunch specials as well. I wouldn't necessarily recommend Jincheng for a romantic dinner date location, but it should be a frequent destination for true connoisseurs of honest, authentic, delicious food.

Since Jin Cheng opened, their Gong Bao Chicken has quickly become our go-to dish in Halifax. This is a simple, family-owned restaurant that focuses on serving authentic Sichuan cuisine without overly fussing over your dining experience. And personally, I wouldn't have it any other way. If you want to enjoy the best Chinese food in Halifax, this is the place to be.

This restaurant offers authentic Szechuan-style Chinese cuisine in a cozy, hidden location. I love it! Check out the menu at sites.google.com/site/jinchengchinesecuisine.
