First, you need to know that the address listed on Yelp is not correct. This restaurant has moved…read moreto 3365 Fisherman Bay Road, and shares a roof and a kitchen with The Galley. They also share a menu, which is odd. Half the menu is The Galley (burgers & fries), and half the menu is Setsunai (noodles & dumplings). It's a little awkward, but it could be ideal for a party uncertain about what it wants to eat. We went for Setsunai, and were very happy with our meal. Service was great - fast, friendly and efficient! We had both the pork and the tofu dumplings. Tofu was good, but the pork was great; very hearty and flavorful in a delicious broth. Then we shared the Ahi & Seaweed salad which was off the charts good. Fresh, creamy, crunch, salty... it had it all, and was very filling even for two people. We're really glad we found this place, and the only reason it isn't 5 starts is the wrong address and the shared menu, which makes for a strange environment which hopefully they will work out over time.

We were coming to the end of our 22-day cruise to Alaska and had been dying for some Chinese food…read more The reviews on yelp for J & J appeared to be pretty good so we decided to go for a walk. Another yelper stated that "it's not the most authentic Chinese food you'll come across...". While he goes on to say that "by Victoria standards, it's up there... I'll take this moment to give him food for thought. My best friend is Chinese. I'm Chinese. Our grandmothers and our mothers made wonton for us at home. I, on the rare occasion, will wrap my own wonton. None of the five wontons we make will taste the same because we use different ingredients or the same ingredients in different measures. That does not make any of our wontons less than authentic than the others. We entered and were immediately greeted. We were directed to a four-top and presented with menus and water and/or tea. We perused the menu and decided to go with: Pan Fried Pot Stickers - 5 - They're not on the lunch menu but they are available. Shanghai Thick Noodles - 5 - A wonderful plate of deliciousness. Wor Wonton with Mixed Wonton - 5 - A simple clean bowl of Wor Wonton. They offer Pork or Shrimp or Mixed. I was hoping that Mixed had both Pork AND shrimp in them but that would force them to wrap three different styles instead of two. I ordered the Mixed just to compare the flavors. Both were delicious. On a subsequent visit, I would want to try their Hot & Sour Soup with 12 Shrimp Won Ton added. Service was quick and courteous. I'm sorry that we don't live closer but there are many excellent Chinese restaurants where we live too.

I waited about 35 minutes to receive my food. Would I have liked to receive it sooner? Yes, but I could tell the kitchen was working hard and it was busy. They did what they could I got an 8.00 Sake Maki role and the Nebeyaki Udon soup dish to compliment the rainy and moody weather The sushi roll wasn't anything special. Salmon, rice and seaweed, you really can't go wrong! I'm going to to come back and try other rolls cause the sushi here looks delicious The soup was full of Sweet and savory ... It definitely had that umami flavor but the shrimp and egg were very overcooked. The soup was boiling hot when I received it, the egg was hard boiled, not poached and the shrimp tempura was tough and rubbery. The variety of ingredients impressed me though. The fish cake, fried tofu, mushrooms, and pea crisps were delicious and flavorful! I would get this dish again, because it truly did taste good, I just wish they'd out the shrimp and egg into the broth later so that they didn't come out overcooked. Loved the vibe here, food was good.. this place has a good thing going!

Unlike Vietnamese bun which is thin like vermicelli, these were quite a bit thicker, almost like a round fettuccine. As appetizers, we had the duck egg rolls. We managed to eat them before taking a picture.... they were finally ground duck in egg roll wrappers. We also had the sliced pork belly with garlic sauce. I remembered to take a picture before it was completely gone! It was one of the most amazing things I've had. It's cooked and thinly sliced pork served cold, with crisp and refreshing julienne carrots and cucumber. It's served with a thin dressing that includes fresh garlic. The whole thing is cool, sharp, refreshing, and satisfying. Finally, I had the noodles. I borrowed somebody else's picture, because I forgot to take it before I dumped the toppings in. It comes with two or three different kinds of pickles, toasted soybeans, and green onions. The idea is to stir those into the noodles and eat them first, like a cool noodle salad. Then... you dump the broth on top and enjoy them like a Ramen or a noodle soup. It was absolutely amazing. As a Texan, I'm no stranger to spicy food, but somehow the spicy broth caught me at the back of my throat rather than just the tongue. You should definitely give this place a try! It felt authentic.. most of the customers in there appeared to be Asian, which is usually a good sign.

An absolute gem in Nanaimo!…read more upon the recommendation of a very good buddy, on my way to tofino, i passed by nanaimo for a hearty lunch in this family owned Vietnamese restaurant. Staff and owner very hospitable and welcoming! never in my wildest imagination did i expect to find excellent Vietnamese food the city of Nanaimo. this restaurant puts many Vancouver restaurants to shame. Their level of dedication to their craft is admirable and impressive. For appys...We started with fried wontons and the beef roll. My on my, the wontons were crispy-liciously goood! They were not your typical chinese fried wontons...the wrapper is paper thin and had a yellowish colour. And its because they used the spring roll wrapper to make It, making it super extra crispy. The pork filling was hot and juicy. Seasoned perfextly With a touch of cumin. One bite, and you will be in wonton heaven. the beef roll was truly a unique masterpiece. Whoever thought of putting a friend spring roll inside a salad roll and enveloping it with grill beef is a total genius!! You get a plethora of different textures and flavour profiles. With every bite, you get crunchiness of the spring roll, smokiness of the grilled beef, green leafy vegetables, and juiciness of the pork filling...all rolled into 1 roll! How could you possibly go wrong? Its a masterpiece like that of the mona lisa! We also tried the beef curry. Succulent pieces of beef slowly simmered rich thai curry sauce, Complimented by soft jasmine rice. Not a vietnamese dish, but executed with perfection. Curry was rich and robust. Quality coconut Milk and curry paste was used. Now..unto the pho!!! the ultimate test of an excellent Vietnamese restaurant is the PHO. More specifically, the PHO Broth! the PHo here is nothing short of spectacular! You can tell bec of 3 important factors. One, the aroma. Two, the clarity of the soup ( aka i how clear is it). And three, the taste! ( how deep the beef essence is!) This place exceeded expectations and passed with full flying colours! One sip of the broth, reminded me of vietnam. It was absolutely amazing! Head and shoulders above many restaurants in vancouver. Plus, no msg was used. We never felt Thirsty or craving tea. I could tell there was a lot of time, labour, and love invested into making the broth. No shortcuts! Just sheer excellence from chef. I feel very blessed to have been a patron of such fine vietnamese cuisine. Definitely a must try when in the city of Nanaimo. Service was quick and efficient. Will i repeat? As many times as i can! ;) Cheers! Happy eating!

I didn't realize it was a chain with three locations in Metro Vancouver. We entered and the place was moderately busy. We were seated immediately. Rather typical looking restaurant but it was clean. Tables had QR codes for the menu and to place orders. We tried three things: - Deep Fried Durian Balls: Good. Becoming a fairly common dish now. Despite not liking fresh durian , I don't mind eating this. Outer layer is crisp and not too thick. - Rice Noodle with Tomato Broth: Good. Comes still boiling. Decent size, variety of toppings and a slightly thicker broth than most. Rice noodles are a bit soggy, but being all you can eat rice noodles is a nice feature for big eaters. - Yang's Chicken Rice Boneless: Good. Also comes boiling. Chicken is tender, and mushrooms have intense flavour. Service is minimal, but helpful. Overall, we were happy with our food as it was good, fast, and affordable. Not something I would crave, but a reliable option if I'm in the area again
