halibut house

decent family-friendly joint.friendlywait-staff and decently priced good eats. don't let the name fool you, this is mostly a chinese restaurant.

christmas eve take out. enjoyed a really good take out from halibut house yesterday evening. the food was at least a notch or two above the usual expected for a chinese take out - good, clean, bright, fresh flavours, and very well-presented even in the cartons. efficient andfriendlyservice too. definitely recommended.

great food,friendlyservice, great prices. we have been going to the halibut house regularly for years, and have introduced it to friends and family. it's the best chinese food around. no msg, everything is clean, fresh, and reliably good. prices are great, as well. the owner and waitress knows her regulars by name, and is always friendly, helpful and approachable.

our go to chinese takeaway. my partners favourite chinese food restaurant. good portions, always good food &friendlyservice.

best chinese food we've had in years. we love the spicy green bean's, they are always perfectly tender crisp. the gai lan in black bean sauce is great. everything we get has been good.
this is a small family run restaurant with afriendlyyoung woman who seats you and takes your order and her husband who is the chef in the back.
if you want something differant than what is on the menu they always seem happy to oblige.
they also do a very brisk takeout business.

worth the time and $$. great selection even for my fussy, bland palate. we took guests there and feed a table of 4 for under $75 including the tip. we left with full tummies. most other guests were asian and much more adventurous in their meal ordering than us - that has to say a lot :-) would definitely return here. our server was new, but ever so polite,friendlyand helpful.

just o.k.... my husband and i have been living 2 blocks from this place for over 6 years and finally decided to give it a try today. we read some reviews and decided to order what they were apparently known for - house chow mein, ginger beef, mandarin jumbo prawns and spicy green beans ( not on the menu). ginger beef was probably the only thing that was good at best and everything else was really just o.k. our biggest disappointment was the "famous" green beans which were plentiful but not overly flavorful and way over priced ( no one should have to pay $ 14 dollars for beans). service for pick up was veryfriendlyand food was not overly greasy . not the worst chinese food we have ever had but definitely way overpriced for what you get.. ie $ 60 for 4 take away dished :(
really just o.k.

delicious. halibut house is just around the corner from our house, and my roommate and i were patiently waiting for it to re-open for weeks (the owners were on vacation). it was well worth the wait! the woman at the door who took our order was reallyfriendlyand the food was ready for takeout very quickly. we had pea egg foo young, ginger beef, vegetable chow mein, and steamed rice and everything was tasty without being overly greasy. we will be back!

the best cantonese food. after driving by this place for years, i finally went in about 10 months ago - it was a great surprise. shari (?) and the rest of the staff arefriendlyand helpful. more importantly, the food is outstanding. the place bustles on weekend evenings, so make a reservation. the decor is plain, but the room is intimate and fun. the halibut house is the best!

very good food.friendlypleasant place.. fine fresh and very good food served with a smile. i really like and recommend this restaurant even after a single visit.

so fantastic. easily my new favorite place. heaps of things not on the menu, ask them to pick for you! we've been back several times and the service is alwaysfriendlyand the is amazing (with the exception of the fish and chips, don't even bother).
