The rice noodle soup was fairly bland, but still comforting on a rainy afternoon. We also ordered…read moreseveral side dishes: braised pork belly, pickled vegetables, and fried mushrooms. The pickled vegetables were sweet, sour, and pleasantly spicy. Our waiter warned us about the heat, but they ended up being the star of the meal. The service interaction was less enjoyable. The waiter brought us an extra order of braised pork belly, which we initially assumed was complimentary. He later suggested that we pay for it, so what seemed like a kind gesture ended up feeling a bit misleading. I didn't make an issue of it, but I didn't appreciate how it was handled.

We did the Chinese thing upon arriving in Victoria. We had to get Chinese food while on vacation…read more Ox King was the first and only restaurant that we went to. We arrived at about 3 and was promptly seated. We ordered the XLB, a beef noodle stew, and a pork noodle soup. The food was good. I liked their XLB as it was very soupy. The beef stew stew noodle soup was nice and beefy. It had plenty of beef and tendon. Service was good. We observed the boss lady. The boss lady was good.

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.

Their portions are fantastic, and for such a great price. The mixed veggies were excellent, the tuna was good, and I loved the squash croquette. One thing that I didn't like, was the tempera batter, it was a bit too hard. Next time, I would love to try the chef's special. One of my neighboring tables ordered it, and it looks like it would be good for 2-3 people to share if they ordered a few other small items. They have a dog friendly patio.

What a lovely find in Vancouver Island. This Japanese restaurant is not typical Japanese food like…read moresushi but lovely dishes that is served bento style. I love this style of Japanese food where it feels like homemade dishes and you get so many varieties to try. It's just yummy. The price is amazing for these sets are only $23. The people are so nice and friendly too. This is a really a lovely to place to dine at with yummy food, great service, and great price.

This place unfortunately missed the mark for me. I got the spicy peanut noodle and the sauce was…read moreextremely heavy, so I wasn't able to finish the noodles because of it. I understand it's fusion cuisine but I didn't feel like the flavor was true to any particular taste. Additionally, the noodle texture felt a bit dry. I think it's a decent spot if you're looking for a quick meal, but with its proximity to so many authentic Asian spots in Chinatown, it's hard to justify coming here.
