Reviews for STUDIO EAST Asian Gastropub in Halifax, NS
For a Tuesday night, the restaurant was popping. I went with a friend and I got: pork belly bao, plant based wagyu steak bao,... and cauliflower/brussel sprout appetizer. All items were very good. I was intrigued by the plant based wagyu steak and how theywere able to mimic the texture of beef so well. The pork belly almost melts in your mouth with how soft it is. The appetizer wasokay but a tad too salty and had me chugging water with eat bite. The vibe of the restaurant was also pretty good. However, itwas quite loud in the restaurant and we found ourselves almost yelling at each other to have a conversation. Overall a goodexperience, I would recommend it as a good place to try.

Cool, casual spot for food and drink. The bao bun and oysters were great. I had the ramen (gluten free noodles). The broth was... lacking, making the ramen not the best pick on the menu but my friends had no complaints on their entrees. The music was greatand overall was a fun vibe for a Friday night dinner Read more
Seen a post online about the great food and wasn't disappointed. We ordered the Chicken curry with jasmine rice, General Tso Bao... and Fried chicken skins. The food had great presentation and was hot and delicious. For drinks we ordered the Pineapple martini,Prosecco and strawberry mojitos. The Mojitos were pricey $15 but the other drinks were during happy hour $6-$9. Enjoyed theatmosphere. Reservations are recommended even though we walked in. Read more

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 menuthat shows pictures of everything as well so that helps a lot when venturing away from your normal order. The staff is alwaysso great! Read more

I eat authentic Asian food my entire life and I still love it here so much. The twist from some traditional Asian taste comes... out just as perfect. Service is quick. Atmosphere is vibrance. Table is a little bit small especially after you are satistifiedwith your meal ^__^. Definitely will come back again and recommend for others. Read more
This place serves amazing Asian fusion food. Had a hearty dinner here and was satisfied with every dish! Their calamari and... scallops were particularly yummy. Tried their Vietnamese coffee creme brulee which was a delight. Highly recommend! Read more
