It was really busy, so there was a big of a wait for a table, but it was definitely worth the wait. They have an extensive menu with lots of different types of options, as well as daily specials. I had the halibut burger. I loved the dill mayo, and the halibut was perfectly breaded and fried. I had it with a side of onion rings. For dessert I had the peach pie. It was to die for. The crust gave me memories of my grandma. The service was very friendly. You could tell this place was a staple of the community with people coming in for take out orders or paying their bills and the staff knew all about them and their families. I look forward to eating here again when I visit.

This fish and chips / seafood spot is fairly touristy in a prime location, and what is special…read moreabout this place is that it is on a floating dock. We got the 2pc halibut fish and chips which was a bit pricy over the cod since I've always had fish and chips with cod so I wanted to try something different. It came with fries and Cole slaw, both of which were okay. They were very stingy with the tartar sauce so it was barely enough for the fish only, and I typically like to dip my French fries with tartar sauce when I eat fish and chips instead of ketchup. And extra sauce is $1. When I'm already paying almost $30 for the order, at least be a bit more generous and not nickel and dime. Also, the fish is decent texture, meaty, but a bit dry, so it was a little underwhelming of a meal.

Our party ordered cod, red snapper and Ling cod. Every piece was cooked to perfection; meaty and tastey. The fries were hand cut and fried perfectly. They stress fresh oil and wild caught fish is used to prepare the orders. I will definetly be going back to Maggie's because the quality is equal or exceeds Red Fin Blue Fin in Victoria. There are about maybe 10 to 12 tables and counter seating. Not a fancy restuarant because after all, it is a seafood store. Maggie is very friendly and there is a self serve water station. You order at the till and the food is brought to your table. She totally gets a two thumbs up from me.

You won't get a waterfront view but you will get the best fish n chips in town.

The fish was also not super greasy which will be easier on my stomach. The fish was also nice and crispy! The coleslaw tasted nice and fresh with a light vinaigrette dressing. I wish the coleslaw had a more creamy sauce. But if u like vinaigrette coleslaw, then u will love this coleslaw. They have a huge menu that i will have to explore sometime. Service was amazing. Super friendly staff and extra tartar sauce was no extra charge! Ambiance was nice and relaxing. There are a few outside benches to provide a nice camp feel. The benches were clean for the most part with maybe a few crumbs but majority of it was clean. Pricing is reasonable and definitely worth the quality. It was around $20-$30 a person I would rate the fish and chips 5/5 and the coleslaw a 3/5.

Sometimes the heart just wants what it wants. If you are of a certain age (like me) you may recall…read morethat most Chinese restaurants in North America served what was called 'American Chinese' (or as I call it, 'Gringo Chinese') cuisine. This was essentially Cantonese style cooking modified to suit American tastes and ingredient availability. These establishments also had a distinctive look to them, offering a sort of 'Disneyfied' view of Chinese decor and culture. As the world has become smaller and we have become more culinarily sophisticated, these restaurants have largely fallen out of favor, but there are still a few gems to be found. One such gem exists in a truly unlikely spot: a quite backwater Canadian village called Cowichan Bay on Vancouver Island. WHO SHOULD GO: Anyone who just wants some great OG American-Chinese chow. Culinary historians who would like to take a tasty trip down 'memory lane'. WHO SHOULD NOT GO: Snobby, pretentious, self-identifying 'foodies'. THE ROSES: Located on the Cowichan Bay waterfront, the Kim Wah is very spacious and clean. All the 'usual suspects' are represented on the menu: Sweet-and-sour pork, Chow Mein, etc. Dishes are available 'family style', and in set combination meals for one or more diners. Prices are reasonable, and portions are generous. Service is efficient. THE THORNS: There are some odd omissions in the details. I wanted some hot mustard to dip in, and they didn't have any. TOP TIP FOR KIM WAH: Go ahead and seriously 'Lean In' on the retro American-Chinese vibe. You've already got most of the accoutrements of a classic OG Am-Chinese joint, so go all the way. Get the paper place mats with the Chinese Zodiac on them! You know you want to! And feel free to go crazy with the red and gold 'Chinese New Year' decor. What little decor you have seems a bit spare. THE VERDICT: Whether you dine in or are getting takeout to carry to your boat at the nearby marina, the Kim Wah Restaurant is a delightful and tasty throwback to a simpler time. Recommend!
