WOW! I think I love this place and I've only eaten there once. This take out spot is basically a kitchen in the wall at upper market square. The menu is all of 5 items long, but you can be confident that each one is made to perfection.

My friend had…More »

  Update - 9/11/2010

Ordered delivery again last night, started eating it, went on Yelp and was shocked to see a 1 star review come up for golden chopsticks. My order was delicious as always. Loved every single item.

I'm mostly writing this update to respond to that…More »

Finally! Some decent Indian cuisine in Victoria.
Disclaimer: this review is for the food only, we got take out. This is the best Indian food I've had in Victoria (no comparison to some places in Vancouver, but still quite good)

I'd heard and read some…More »

(250) 389-1845

Category: Thai

4.0 star rating
  7/19/2010

I've grabbed take out from zap thai countless times now (it helps that it's only 5 minutes away). Do not let the location or appearance fool you, the place honestly looks like a dump (especially from outside, inside isn't quite as bad) and is in a…More »

612 Head St
Victoria, BC V9A 5S8
(250) 475-6453

Category: African

4.0 star rating
  4/4/2010 First to Review

I'm surprised that I'm the first to review the Blue Nile. This little gem has been around for some time now on Head St. in Esquimalt. The Blue Nile is an East African buffet restaurant.

I've always ordered take out, but I will have to bring a group…More »

Victoria, BC V8W 1N1
(250) 385-0455

Category: Vietnamese

4.0 star rating
  6/20/2011 First to Review

How could this little gem have been located in the same place since 1997 and I've never noticed it? I've literally driven past it hundreds of times and never even see the entrance. I guess that goes hand in hand with why I'm somehow first to review.

Categories: Barbeque, Chinese

4.0 star rating
  5/16/2011

I'd wanted to visit Wai Lay Yuen for some time since hearing about their bbq pork and duck. I've now been twice and will return many times. I can't believe they've been open over 20 years and I'd never been.

Service was good, prices were pretty…More »

Category: Mexican

5.0 star rating
  8/6/2011 First to Review

La Taquisa trumps all the other taco locations in town in my opinion and I'm so glad they've opened up a new location that's much closer to me than Cook street.

Recently opened close to the booster juice in West Side Village, La Taquisa has a winning…More »

I've always had excellent meals at Cafe Ceylon. I'm somewhat embarrassed that it took me this long to review them as they are so very deserving of any praise they get.

Everything that's been written before my review is true, so I'll try not to repeat…More »

Wow, talk about showing up all the other places we've been to in Victoria (that are still open). Although it's only been one visit for take out, I have nothing but good things to say about Sen Zushi.

We placed 3 separate, very large take out orders,…More »

I've been eyeing up Pizzeria Prima Strada for some time and finally had a chance to drop by for take out last night. First impressions, love the interior, lots of steel, wood benches, tables and chairs. There are stacks of wood around one edge for…More »
