To say the ramen here is excellent is an incredible understatement. It's more like an incredible flavor-playground: so many complimentary flavors swirling around it's borderline intoxicating.
I also highly recommend the ribs which are melt-in-your-mouth delicious, stacked high with an refreshing slaw (there's a rib night on Tuesday I believe?).
Many of the appetizers are also fun and tasty and reasonably priced if you're trying to do a tapas style dinner. The staff are very friendly and courteous and informed me on my last visit that they were beginning to do brunch on the weekends (which I have yet to check out).
Definitely one of my favorites in the city.
One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Halifax & I’ve eaten at a lot of restaurants in the city. The food was top notch & unique. We will be back!
Great vibe and cosy space, we had a great birthday dinner for 3 at Studio East. The staff are so easy-going and at the same time, super friendly, attentive and very knowledgable. The food was scrumptious, we loved our bao bun appetizers and dumplings! The Rib meal as well as the Butter Chicken Curry was top notch! Absolutely recommended for a great night out!
Studio east is hands down one of the best restaurants in Halifax! They have a simple but amazing menu all year long and the best extended menu for the summer.
Everything is absolutely amazing every time I go. I always get the bao, they are honestly one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Everything I’ve tried here is always super delicious, every single time 👏❤️

My friend and I had a wonderful dinner here. Our server Julie, couldn’t have been more helpful with suggestions and even gave us a recommendation for PEI where we are headed next. My fried chicken rice bowl was absolutely delicious and my friend really liked her burger. Definitely check it out if you’re in Halifax.
5 + ⭐️ !!! Absolutely an amazing experience at Studio East! We had a group of 7 and fortunately were able to slide in to a table on a Friday night. Our server was absolutely wonderful and helpful. The food was amazing! The vegan options were SO good, I don’t have a photo because I just ate it too fast. I can’t wait to go back when I visit Halifax again.
Just awesome. Have been coming here for years and always have the best time. Guy and Andre don’t do this for a living, they are passionate about what they do and that reflects on the dishes they put out here. Very generous portions and explosion of flavors. Jessica and Sara are always awesome. Can’t wait to go back.
I found this restaurant through curated magazine and what enticed me is their philosophy of using local ingredients, making the food taste superb and aesthetically pleasing. It is indeed spot on, the flavor bursts in your mouth. We had chicken karaage, oh so flavourful. The bao is so good, the chicken burger is the best I ever had in my life and the ramen, wow! As a ramen lover (I've been to Kyoto and Osaka for reference) I give this place a 2 thumbs up for the noodles!!!! The noodles is homemade!!!! I love the noodles. The noodles is the star of the show for the ramen. It's firm and fresh, uses local ingredients and so pretty. Well, take a look at the photos 🤩🤩🤩 it was my birthday so I went all in up to dessert, cheesecake with ube cream on top is spot on and vietnamese coffee creme brulee is soooo silky smooth. This is officially my FAVORITE restaurant in Halifax! Affordable price, delicious food and super pretty food presentation. Amazing works CHEFS! YOUR EFFORTS ARE NOT WASTED!
Such a great place food was amazing Will definitely be back and locally owned and operated, which makes it even better. We had the ultimate pork Ramen bowl. Grilled pork belly bao and the Kong pao cauliflower bowl. All were spectacular.
Really, really great food. My partner and I had the chicken karaage and I had the bulgogi short rib and he had the chicken sandwich with the parmesan fries. Our server was very friendly. Love that they have an iPad with a visual menu, makes choosing the food easier and more fun. Drinks were good. My friend's had the chicken crisps, the Bao that was on special, the burger and the small ramen bowl and raved about how food their food was. Was pleasantly surprised there were so many gluten free options. Will DEFINITELY be back.
Super fun place. Staff so attentive. Food excellent. One grind was the drinks, were skimpy and small for the high price of 16.00, but tasty.
Great little hidden gem in Halifax! Any of the boa buns are a great choice & they go the extra mile when plating the food to make it look super cool! Lots of cool cocktails too!
This is a great spot to try something new! They have an interactive menu that shows pictures of everything as well so that helps a lot when venturing away from your normal order.
The staff is always so great!
