I'm not going to go on about everything, it's been covered already. Best fish and chips I've had in Victoria (there's some pretty awful fish and chips here for a city that is still often known as a little bit of old england). Only downside for me was…More »

Thank you Victoria yelpers for bringing this one to my attention, or I'd probably never have found it. My fiancee and I decided to avoid the insanity and do our valentines night out a week early. We spent a portion of the morning reading yelp…More »

Pigs new location in the Atrium is great, spacious (relative to their old location at least), huge ceilings, bright and modern. Their food quality, speed of order delivery and service is great as always. We were out the door with enough delicious…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 »

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.

This was an excellent choice for our date night out. I won't go on about all the details of each dish, they've mostly been covered here before, let's just say that everything was delicious, we enjoyed every item and course (including the huge…More »

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.

  Update - 12/15/2010

Finally dined in here, stopped by for lunch. Food was very flavourful, the service while not especially warm (to be fair, they were busy), was amazingly fast and they were on top of everything at all times. The shrimp rolls were cheap, tasty and not…More »

WOW, fantastic, so glad I tried this one out. My fiancée has the painful birthdate of December 29th, so I tried to make it special with our first visit to Ulla. Even though we were only a party of two, it was a bit tough to get a reservation, but we…More »

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 »

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 »

Wow this place is fantastic. Best drinks I've ever had. Every drink that came to our table was so good that each person felt compelled to share it so others could taste (but at the same time wanting to be fiercely protective of their beverage), but I…More »

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 »

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.
