We were told they aren't licensed for kids but Just Jakes is owned by the same people and has the same menu/kitchen. Just Jakes, the servers were lovely. Free soda refills without asking. Food was good and reasonably priced. Kids menu was cheap and cheerful. It wasn't fancy or pretentious at all. Ended up being a good stop. It was busy and the food did take a little while to come out, but we enjoyed it.

Truthfully, I go for their crepes, but my friends are always bey happy with their other menu choices too. The staff is friendly and we never feel rush to eat & leave. This isn't a place you need to really dress up to feel you fit in. However, you also could if the mood suits you & still not feel out of place. Truly, I am happy that they even have tables on the main level that accommodate those with mobility aids. However, that being said, I am struggling to recall if there would be a easy enough way for a wheelchair or even a walker to make it to the main door. I'll have to remember to focus on that long enough before my next crepe eating bliss hits. As Cowichan Bay is a popular area to stop for meals, do plan to go in advance for parking. As even if there are a few spots for the restaurant, there isn't enough space to accommodate the full restaurant. If you are able to find a spot at the restaurant or are double parking at the restaurant (which is apparently allowed), it is good to let the server know what vehicle is yours. Beyond more than mention "I've parked my vehicle here", so a server can notify you if people need to be let out of the space if they're leaving before you're done. If you don''re not lucky enough to grab a parking spot right at the restaurant, you might have to go far up the road (sometimes almost to the hotel) or down the road (towards the parking area by the pubic washrooms) to reach any parking options. Definitely try it out if you are looking fit an option in Cowichan Bay. I know I'm looking forward to many more future happy crepe eating moments here with friends.

When it was clear that we were ordering vegetarian, she asked whether we wanted dairy or vegan cheese on each and every item -- she really made sure the order was correct. Next, they transfered me to someone else to pay over the phone, which also went smoothly. The delivery was quick, the food was terrific, everything was packaged perfectly... No complaints at all. The best part? THE MENU. Oh good God, the veggie and vegan options were over the top!! They use Beyond Meat Italian crumbles, veggie pepperoni, Daiya cheese, and they even serve Gardein veggie chicken strips. This place is VEGETARIAN HEAVEN. I was worried that the cheese would be scant, due to the negative review someone posted here, so I got extra cheese on every one of our three pizzas. Totally satisfied with the quantity of toppings. We are in LOVE with this place. It ain't cheap, but it sure is delicious. We will definitely be back!

Didn't have time to research anything first but it was an overcast sky on Sept 2 and when I saw the sign for Pho Vuong I could see my name on it! It was an extensive menu with some really interesting (meaning enticing) options but I love pho and could t resist ordering the pork belly version because pork belly is one of my favourite food groups! It arrived quickly and was absolutely fresh and delish. The pork belly was SO yummy and after throwing in the peppers and sprouts and basil and lime and a bit of hoisin we were complete. So happy to have stopped here. It's my birthday weekend (or week or even month at my age) so happy to find another way to celebrate! Review is mainly so I remember this lovely place for the next time I'm passing through!

Forever stuck in crapness. The place wasn't busy, and they seated our party of 6 quickly, which was great. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before I saw why. For one, there are no Asian servers. Now, I dunno if that is normal in Canada, but here in America I've never ever been to a single Vietnamese place, out of probably hundreds, where the staff was void of ANY Asians (and to think of it, I think we were really the only Asians in the entire restaurant!). But hey, I'm open to new experiences... maybe that doesn't mean anything right?... Anyway, beyond the old dinginess of the place, which would never be a deal killer for me, the real killer was the food... ?. Pho CA$11-13: Well, most of our table got pho, and you know, it all looks the same, so I'm not sure the exact one we got, but I think it's safe to say they were all equally crappy. Most importantly, the noodles were way overcooked. Mushy stranges of rice flour. It's too bad cause the soup was actually decently flavorful and the meat was quite good--fatty and luscious. But always, a whole bowl of mushy noodles?--not really edible. 2/10 39. Com Suon Bi Cha CA$12.95 "Pork Chop, Shredded Pork & Steamed Egg": This was my order. Immediately obvious upon it being placed before me was that they used the WRONG KIND OF RICE. I've gotten Vietnamese rice plates billions of times, and the vast majority use "broken rice" which would be the most authentic. It has a very different texture that goes great with fish sauce. Unfortunately, they used standard white rice, and not only that, they added too much water making it mushy! I HATE badly cooked rice. Like how hard can it be?--you measure the rice and water, turn on the steamer... should be identical every single time. Wtf. Well, the rice was wrong and inedible. The pork chop itself was standard, but I was left hungry cause I couldn't eat the rice and one pork chop ain't gonna do it for me. 2/10 Sorry, this place was one of the worst Vietnamese restaurants I've ever been to in my life. BUT, it did have pretty good service--the waitresses were all very polite and nice to us. 1/5 #duncan #nanaimo #vancouverisland #canada #vietnamese
