Also high prices. A plain Jane restaurant with good food. Crampt. Not a place for a special event.
We have been going here for over 20 years and have yet to have a disappointing meal. The service is always prompt, the food is always very hot, tasty and good value for the money. The restaurant without fail, is always clean. One of the best Chinese food restaurants we have ever eaten, so we continue to return time after... more
I've been going here since I was a kid many years ago as my parents did. They really have the best Chinese food, super fast and friendly service too! I've tried other restaurants for Chinese food and nothing compares to Look Ho Ho. I don't go anywhere else. The Manager/Owner goes around to the table and asks everyone how their... more
While walking in the neighborhood looking for somewhere to eat, we chanced upon this old established restaurant - I assume it's a neighborhood fixture. No tradtional fare here - straight up chicken balls (which our 6 year old really enjoyed!). Won't stop here again, sorry Look Ho Ho!
I'm a vegetarian trying to become vegan. You would assume when you order a vegetarian meal, that they're would be no meat in it. Not here, I have a medical condition where I cannot eat meat due to my silent reflux disease. And I was appalled when I found a piece of chicken in my meal almost as if someone... more
Trying to find good Chinese in Halifax is tough and this place certainly isn't it...egg rolls are mushy pasty thing we couldn't even take a second bite of, the chicken balls were swimming in goop, fried rice tasteless ( would it kill you to throw some onions in there!) and chow mien just as bad. We threw the whole thing... more
My husband took me to the Look Ho Ho for our first date 37 years ago and we are still going back. We went for the lunch special today and I agree with others...the best egg rolls anywhere. They are very rich and tasty. Worth the trip!
The restaurant has been around for 50 years likely mainly because of the eggrolls. If you like meat eggrolls, these are worth trying. The rest of the food is average- too hot because it has been microwaved. It is old-fashioned with booths and has not been updated in years but it feels like a typical Chinese restaurant in Canada.
A Halifax tradition, we have need eating here for over 30 years. The staff is always friendly, and the food consistently very good.
Lookies has the best egg rolls I have ever eaten, and this rating is shared with everyone I have asked who has tried them! Ask anyone who is from Halifax who has the best meat egg rolls .... Look Ho Ho will be your answer!
In 25 years, we've never had a meal that we didn't totally enjoy. Always fresh, hot, tasty eats. Staff are friendly and experienced. Never feel that you are a 'bother', but that they truly enjoy serving.
This place has been in business for years, but this was my first time here. Our son raves about the food, so on a visit to Halifax to see him, we dropped in. Decor is dated but the place including the restrooms was very clean.
The waitress was friendly and extremely efficient. The menu has lots to choose from including...

Some people think this place is overrated, but they make great Szechuan and Cantonese dishes, and their meat egg rolls are delicious. Their combo platters are well-priced, and the service is quick and friendly (but you never feel rushed).
My favorite Chinese restaraunt. The best egg rolls ever, and great service.
