I am visiting the area from abroad and randomly found this restaurant. All staff were incredibly kind and welcoming as well as being very attentive and couldn't do enough for us, and the restaurant itself was clean and comfortable. The food was very good and very hot so had clearly been freshly prepared but you could definitely share a main dish with at least one other individual as the portion sizes were quite big. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and would use again if I lived here! read more

Victoria Oriental Restaurant - Dim Sum Near Me - Kamloops, British Columbia

It has been year since I have had service and food this good .we had a table of six and our experience was very good. Food was excellent !!! Will be my go to restaurant whenever I have guests in town. Thank you for the great hospitality and food. read more

Not recommended! Food is not fresh even the chef try cook well. It is not original Chinese food if you are looking for real Chinese flavor. Waitress asked why leave no tip due to the card machine touch screen sensitivity and end up leave cash for tip. Never seen Chinese asked for tips!!! read more

We drove from Calgary all the way to Vancouver, and stopped at Kamloops on the Christmas night. We knew Chinese restaurants might be the only place open on Christmas so we went here. The food is amazingly great and much much better than our expectations, especially the spicy beef and green beans. read more

Victoria Oriental Restaurant - Dim Sum Near Me - Kamloops, British Columbia

I've been missing for some time now. Will try to post more reviews from now on. This restaurant is the safest place for good Chinese food. I've tried their dim sum menu, most of things I have tried are good quality. I've tried BBQ pork buns, rice noodles with soy sauce, house fried noodles, BBQ pork fried rice, and more. I must say their BBQ pork buns in the dim sum menu are one of the best I've tried. And I have eaten alot of dim sum in my life. Toronto, California Hong Kong etc. This is one of the best BBQ pork buns I've had, hands down. If you are into chili oil, go ahead try their chili oil, it's one of the best I've had. Long story short in Kamloops where there are not choices this is a safe bet to get some decent Chinese food. read more

We had a quick stop for lunch on our way to Vancouver and this place sounded nice. I was interested in trying their green onion pancake. It wasn't my favourite because it seemed overly fried. Yes I guess I'm a green onion pancake snob. Their spring rolls were delicious as were their shrimp dumplings. Really good! We also ordered their vegetable lo main with prawns. She asked if I wanted soft or crispy noodles and I chose to be daredevil Amanda and go with crispy. Definitely not what I expected to get it but was a lovely surprise! They were crunchy but enough sauce was at the bottom at it slowly softened them. So much food! read more

Usually get excellent food here but tonight's order was AWFUL. The meat was so dry that we threw it in the garbage. Won't be going there again. read more

I'm pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. Was not expecting to be blown away by the Chinese food in Kamloops, but this restaurant has some awesome chefs in the back! Even by Vancouver standards this is good. One star deduction for the weak A/C, we came here on a day that was 42 degrees Celsius, it felt the same inside as outside and we were all sweating throughout our meal. Also, tip is already added to the bill... not sure if that's the norm in Kamloops? read more

Oh man, this is seriously good Chinese. The chicken balls are huge and solid white meat...the rice was fluffy...the noodles weren't greasy...and the sweet and sour sauce came on the side instead of the food drowning in it like other places in town. Yummmmmmmm. read more

Dim Sum good - beef squishy and chicken horrible - half warm and tasted like fresh from the fridge. Still 3 stars as said at the beginning. Stay with the Sim Sum and you're good, stay away from the rest. read more

Didn't expect much from such a small restaurant but it was actually pretty decent. We were making our way from Jasper National Park to Vancouver and was in need of a quick lunch. They were really quick and friendly. My mom and I ordered 3 lunch specials, felt very very full afterwards. It can't compete with Chinese restaurants in big cities, but it still taste pretty good. Definitely try it out if you are craving Chinese food. read more

Victoria Oriental Restaurant - Three lunch specials we ordered - Dim Sum Near Me - Kamloops, British Columbia

From vancouver, very good home cooked food. Was very full but continued to keep eating, very delicious.

We stopped here for dinner while on our way to Sun Peaks after receiving recommendations from our friends. Needless to say the food was delicious. We ordered 9 dishes and none of them disappointed us!! Portions are big and the flavour is perfect. We are from Hong Kong and China and agree that this food is better than any Chinese restaurant in Vancouver. read more

Not sure if the whole staff and kitchen is different now or what , but last night was disappointing. Not the same food as a year ago at all. The portions were HUGE. The service was fast. They mean well. But, I did not care for the way the food was presented or the taste. I hope it was just a " one off " . I might have to go back to my old stand-by , the Oriental Gardens across from Hotel 540. Just saying . I did think the Won Ton was good, a little watery.... Egg Rolls were crispy. Chow mein, was tasteless. I don't like heavy batter on sweet and sour and prawns. read more

Great dim sum! My favourites are the dry garlic eggplant, salt and pepper squid, prawn and green leek cakes, prawn dumplings, and ginger beef. It's a "must" to visit this restaurant at least once a month! read more

Not much was open when we travelled through on a Sunday, so we were glad this place was. Very satisfying dimsum. The dishes all had generous portions so we had lots left over. good chicken and pork dishes. The highlight was the steamed BBQ pork buns. Should have ordered 2 orders. read more

Excellent Dim Sum! My wife and I have been looking for good Dim Sum since we left the lower mainland 13 years ago. The food was fresh, flavorful, and the service was wonderful. The decor was what I'd expect from a small "hole-in-the-wall" Chinese restaurant. I cannot speak highly enough about the food. We will definitely be back. Yum- Chickens Feet in Black Bean sauce. read more

This place has some of the best Chinese food in Kamloops! Very generous portions, the prices are great and fast service! The steamed pork buns are to die for! read more

What a pleasant lunch spot in Kamloops. We dined dim sum style and really enjoyed everything. Ordered iced tea and received something like an Arnold Palmer, though. Not sure what that was about but otherwise a fully enjoyable meal! read more

We have eaten here twice now, and it was the same both times - excellent food and outrageously bad service. We had eggplant hotpot, house chow mein and beef and asparagus, all of which were delicious and well prepared. However, it took 15 minutes to get a menu and a further 45 minutes to get our food, and only after complaining forcefully to the server, who we had to go and find, as we hadn't seen her since we ordered. Bear in mind that there were only 4 tables occupied in the whole place! Take-out seems to be their priority, so maybe that's the way to go. After we complained, our food came quickly, but the server verged on surly. We had previously been there for a Chinese New Year dinner with a large group, which was preordered weeks in advance. They seemed to struggle to produce more than one dish for a table at a time. It is unfortunate their organization is so pathetically poor, as their food is the best Chinese in Kamloops. read more

We sat down and only after leaving us to look at the menu for a full 15 minutes and decide what to order, the server decides to tell us we can't order anything that requires cooking (??..). The only things to order were steamed items. We came in at 11am on Friday and it was quite empty. read more

been in Kamloops for awhile now. From Vancouver. Have tried numerous Chinese take outs. All a big BUST! Finally discovered this place! The only Chinese food I have found that is actually good in Kamloops! Authentic crispy noodle chow mien for a start. Well done Victoria Oriental! Will only order through them from now on. read more

Passing thru Kamloops looking for something decent to eat. This place was clean, washroom was clean. Awesome service and best of all good eats!! read more

I would have given it negative rating if I could. AVOID THIS PLACE; GO TO ORIENTAL GARDEN RESTAURANT DOWN THE ROAD WHERE WE HAD WAY BETTER SERVICE AND EXCELLENT FOOD. We spent the night at Kamloops in our last trip to Banff. The restaurant was only 1/3 full when we were seated at 6pm. It took the waitress 20 min to give us water and another 10min to take our order. Again the restaurant was only 1/3 full. The problem was that because of their discount policy, the only waitress there spent all this time taking phone orders. After spending another 15min waiting and not seeing our appetizer, we told a lady who seemed to be the manager or owner that if we did not get our food in 10min we would need to move to another place. To which she said :" sure. You can go now". ... The rest I just don't want to revisit in my mind to recount here. BTW, all this time, another table was waiting for their check. Food done and cold, on the table. read more

Very good food,reasonable prices and generous portions. Will definitely come here next time I am in Kamloops and want Chinese food. Service was fast and friendly. Although the restaurant wasn't busy there were quite a few pick up orders. read more

Excellent dim sum. We found this place by Yelp reviews, we were staying at Scott's Inn which is just across the street. I have been wanting DimSum, this place did not disappoint. There was no dim sum on the menu they gave us, so when we asked we were given a different menu. Boy what a pleasant surprise to find in Kamloops. read more

They did have amazing chicken balls until they messed up cooking them and sent me shitty quality.

Great place to go if you have unlimited time and infinite patience. We stopped in based on the reviews we had seen, and the menu looked awesome. The waitress came to take our drink order after about 5 minutes (and after she took 2 phone orders). We placed our order for a drink and an appetizer, she ran to answer the phone with a promise to return. She did return eventually, without our drinks, and began the lengthy process of taking our order. I began to ask a question, phone rang, off she goes. Back 5 minutes later, no apologies, and we try again...ring, ring...poof! Hubby wants to leave at this point, I am eyeing a noodle dish and want to stay. She returns for attempt #3, I spoke 2 words and she's running for the phone again. (And we never did get our drinks). Broke my heart to walk out of there! After we left and found another place I figured out a strategy for anyone else who gives this place a shot...call in your order from your table, you'll get preferential treatment that way. read more

I would recommend this restaurant, ordered delivery on a late evening at work - quality was amazing. Delicious spicy lamb, Wonton soup - incredible - even out of take away containers. Great enough to leave a review !!! read more

super authentic Chinese food!! Chef from Guangzhou, very friendly and really cares about his dishes.

Pretty good Chinese for a smaller place. From Calgary so we have lots of places to eat. The dim sum we ordered was super good home made not frozen. Would recommend. read more

Best dim sum in Kamloops. Every day! Try the small plates of crispy ginger beef, salt and spicy squid, shrimp or spareribs, and all of the lovely dumplings. Reasonably priced for the interior. read more
