About Shun Hing
Shun Hing is a Chinese takeaway at 56 Albert Rd in Halifax, and its salt and pepper box bundles chips, chicken, ribs, spring rolls and wings into a single order. A larger "mega box" version is made for sharing. Salt and pepper chicken is also served with chips as its own dish, and Singapore vermicelli noodles sit alongside it on the menu. Food is wrapped up so it stays hot, and the owner serves customers directly.

Customer Review Summary
Salt and pepper dishes anchor most of the praise, especially the salt and pepper chicken, which one reviewer describes as spiced all the way through with no unwanted bits, and the salt and pepper box or mega box piled with chips, chicken, ribs, spring rolls and wings. Close behind are the salt and pepper ribs, the Singapore vermicelli noodles and chicken in chilli honey sauce. Reviewers also keep returning to huge portions, low prices for the quality, and a friendly, chatty owner. Several mention food arriving quickly. The cooking does not win everyone over. One New Year's Eve diner found the chicken in Szechuan, chicken chowmein and egg fried rice bland and tasteless, though the curry and satay went down well and the staff were quick. Another reviewer gave one star, calling a mixed salt and pepper meal with chips inedible and describing a dispute over an old menu. Even so, one reviewer notes everything was wrapped so well that it all arrived piping hot.

“10/10 - decided to let the Mrs have a night off of cooking as it's valentine's day. We had never eaten from here before but decided to give it a go as the reviews were good. Ordered salt and pepper chicken with rice, chips and S&S sauce. rice was cooked to perfection, chips were second to none and the chicken was literally out of this world. I have never had anything remotely as nice from a Chinese takeaway, every single piece of the chicken was like a 1/5th of a breast, spiced beautifully all the way through and cooked perfectly. Also very large portion of chips and chicken, the rice doesn't look as big but when you get it on a place it's very decent portion. A lot of times with Chinese crispy/salt and pepper chicken you will get little additional unwanted bits that make you question what you just ate, this left me with no concerns. Every piece felt like premium chicken and it was absolutely perfect from taste to texture.”

“Came here for our annual NYE takeout, diverted from our regular place as colleagues had rated it well. The starters were good (we got a mixed one to share), but the mains just seemed a bit bland. Between us we had the chicken in Szechuan, chicken satay, cantonese honey chilli chicken, mushroom curry, chicken chowmein, and a load of egg fried rice. The curry and satay went down well but found the rest of it really bland and tasteless. Third star is just for how lovely the staff were and how quick they were to prepare it, especially on NYE.”

“Inedible. Mixed Salt and Pepper meal with chips. Me and my partner Could not physically endure eating this terrible food. Fella put an extra quid or so on top to complete this highly regrettable evening, claiming some tosh about 'the old menu', despite the fact that my partner had picked the menu up earlier that day. Horrendous food.”
