The volcano was cool, as it came torched. It also comes with a lot of tuna sashimi, and I was impressed with this! The curry chicken katsu was quite dry so I would not recommend this dish. The chicken was very thin.

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE 3.5 stars: as fellow Yelpers have…read morenoted: the name of the restaurant is a bit of a mystery, as none of the cuisine comes from Hong Kong; they serve a very different style of Chinese food more reminiscent of the Szechuan/Sichuan region in China. While the family-run business serves dishes that are more authentic, one might find of it limited appeal if you're looking for non-spicy dishes (or you have young children), environment, or value. === 2. FOOD Green Beans and Peppers While the flavour is good, you cannot order this without spice/heat and so this makes it a bit of a non-starter for some (many?) young children. The crunch of the vegetables is there, but the portion size for $20 in a takeout container is not. Shrimp and Celery Thankfully, this is the least-spicy dish and mostly edible by young children. The Shrimp was nicely deep-fried with a thin coating of batter; this is a solid choice even if the portion size is small (well below fill line of a smaller takeout container for $20). === 3. SERVICE They serve you in English or Mandarin and overall it is pleasant. The food was prepared in a reasonable amount of time. === 4. ENVIRONMENT This is more of a hole-in-the-wall: you're not coming here for the ambience (which is limited to plain white walls, red tables/chairs, and fluorescent tube lighting interestingly mounted sideways on the walls rather than the ceiling). You could probably fit groups ranging in size from 2 through 8 but I'm not sure I'd bring anyone in a wheelchair or baby stroller in here easily. Parking is available in the back.

Having lived in Calgary, Japanese Village is my favorite restaurant in Calgary. Now that I live in…read moreVancouver, I am not able to go to Japanese Village whenever I want. The closest one is in Victoria. We made a joke how this one, you have to go downstairs, the one in Calgary, you have to walk up the stairs and the one in Edmonton is the only one on the main floor. Street parking is free on Sunday and suggest coming here on Sunday. Due to Covid, they are open from 3pm onward. They have all the Covid protocols in place. They clean the plexiglass and they sanitize the table and chairs after each customer's meal. Seats are very limited now. Reservation is required. B,C and I came here for dinner and we ordered off the Teppanyaki menu. I got the 10oz New York steak dinner, B got the same thing and C got the chicken dinner with a side of prawns. We came here for the special sauce which they are known for their famous sauce. Food was super delicious but there were no tricks and burning flames at dinner. In Calgary, they would do lots of tricks and there would be fire and etc. The special sauce was a bit different from the Japanese Village in Calgary. It was less creamy but it had more of a sesame flavor. Overall, the food was delicious. I really enjoyed my meal. We also bought a bottle of their special sauce to go back to Vancouver. I still preferred the Japanese Village in Calgary. Also prices here is pretty expensive. It is more expensive compared to Calgary. Also, it is not unlimited rice and they charge for tea unlike the Japanese Villages in Alberta. Also no tricks or cooking entertainment here. Super sad Note that they have free wifi here.

While the restaurant had a somewhat bizarre location - and the aesthetic was a little too dark for…read moreour preference, there were touches of the beautiful here and there. We were seated in the bar area upon our arrival. We had a reservation but still waited quite a long time to be shown to a table - and far longer for any food (which was made more frustrating due to the later reservation time - we were hungry). We were lucky to have one of the better Tepanyaki chefs, but even he was a bit lackluster compared to chef's at other Tepanyaki restaurants (offering very few special elements - I think we got a couple of jokes and a smoking onion tower). Still, the food was decent. My steak a bit underseasoned and overcooked, and my husband's chicken a bit oversauced. We still enjoyed it and were offered quite good portions - definitely leaving full. Overall, I think this spot is a decent option for those looking for a unique experience in Victoria. Just be warned that it's quite expensive for what it is.

Plus, they were clearly all hustling as fast as they could. For the food, they were actually sold out of a few things because we came later in the evening, but that made it clear they make everything fresh, same day. We had the agedashi tofu, which was perfectly crispy outside and soft inside with a tasty sauce beneath. My spicy chicken tofu soup came out steaming with an egg and rice, and I loved it. My husband had the yaki udon stir fry noodles and he devoured it. Tea was free, and I'm writing this review as we're sitting in Hara for a second night in a row!

My only thing was that being seated at the front was a wave of cold every time the door opened which was a lot. We also had these fluorescent lights above us which kind of took away from the magic that was happening in the back seating area. Great place though and will definitely be back and will absolutely tell others about ;)
