This cozy, quaint restaurant has a warm vibe, and I always see the staff smiling. It’s a popular spot, and I can see why! Highly recommend for anyone in search of great sushi with veggie-friendly choices.”

“Had the best lunch at Kahuna with out of town friends. The Loco Moco was a delite for my husband but the Kiluaea Kahlua pork was beyond expectations ... great service and friendly fun owners. The dole whip with lava sauce was a pleasant surprise ... good portions, great food ... didn't get back to get the macadamia nut bars but now I have a great excuse to get back there SOON1”

“corn dog was super yummy. However, it is very sweet. If you tend to like savoury and spicy things I suggest you get the spicy side sauce. !! So yummy! will be back! Fries are very crunchy!”

“Shuck Taylor’s is one of the most welcoming and relaxing restaurants I’ve ever dined in. It’s my go-to everytime I visit the city. Everything is exceptional. The food, service, music and atmosphere is completely well thought and dialed in. I always leave with a big smile full belly but most importantly, really great memories. I’m looking forward to my next visit already. A gem on Vancouver Island.”

“We were recommended this restaurant by someone who lives in Victoria- who said this was their favorite restaurant. We decided if a local recommends it we had better try it, however we forgot to make reservations and found ourselves in a predicament. We ended up going on our last night in town (a Friday) and hoping to get in at the first come first serve bar which has 10 seats. Unfortunately the bar was full when we got there at 5:45 but we were able to put our name on the wait list for a party of 4. The rest of the restaurant was all folks who had made prior reservations, which are available up to 30 days in advance.
I’m so thrilled to report we were able to secure bar seating for 4 around 6:20 and we were definitely not disappointed. The server Eric and bar tender Barry were both great and made our experience enjoyable socially, and the food was incredible. Definitely fine flavors and unique options that you don’t really see other places. They have an extensive wine list and some fun cocktails as well as beer options and non-alcoholic drinks to choose from. We got the AGLIO ARROSTO e GORGONZOLA as a starter which all four of us thoroughly enjoyed. We also ordered the MELANZANE al FORNO and the SPAGHETTI al FUOCO both of which were exquisite. The flavors in both dishes sparkled and I can’t wait to go back and eat there again the next time I’m in Victoria. If you’re looking to go I definitely recommend reservations if you want to ensure you get a spot.”

“I shall have to come back and try it again, it was very good. I had the Takoyaki Appetizer, deep fried octopus balls and for the main course Black Arashi Tan Tan - Black sesame base with pork belly, egg, spinach, bamboo shoots, crushed peanuts, chili oil, garlic, green onion and nori seaweed.”

“this bake shop is delicious.. the donuts are the size of your face!”

“This is my go to place for Indian food. Love the coconut curry (any curry they sell is beautiful) and their naan family size goes real quick around our house! Deff recommended!”

“From the moment you walk through the door to the moment you leave, the professional and attentive staff take care of every detail. Restaurant is large - it has great ambience, the layout provides a personal and intimate feeling despite there being many tables. The food is superb, we plan on returning to make our way through the great menu. It is the best place we have eaten at in Canada for food, service and ambience. We highly recommend the seafood tower as a way to taste through some of the menu. The grilled octopus rivalled what we have eaten in Italy. The pork belly was cooked to perfection. The wine list is extensive and expertly curated.”

“The beef kebab was amazing with the yogurt sauce and cilantro chutney. And the firni dessert was so light and delicate. Excellent service as well, our server gave us great recommendations.”

“Best service ever. Friendly environment, great ambiance. Best food ever, fast and efficient, Always above and beyond”

“The best Shawarma I have ever eaten. A definite must try it's excellent!”

“This place was amazing! Nice staff and clean inside. The chicken and pancakes were delicious. The chicken had a tiny kick to it which I really appreciated. The pancakes were nice and fluffy. The cinnamon rolls were also soooooo good! Huge size and love that they warm it up for you. Possibly the best I’ve ever had! Definitely don’t skip this place 🙂”

“I got really awesome service at this location … one of best pizza for dinner .. employee name manpreet kaur was really helpful and provided best service”

“We visited the restaurant almost a year to the day from our last visit. (We live in AB or we would go more often) We had the tasting menu and the selections were thoughtful and awesome. The restaurant and staff were busy. We had a dish that we loved last year that involved corn and when the owner found out that we were in the restaurant he made a special course just for us which was DELICIOUS! We are used to tasting menus and the length between courses but our service was just a bit off with large pauses in between certain courses. The staff being busy weren't able to check in as often as we would have liked but it is still one of our favourites and we will definitely return again next September if not before.”

“Oh my goodness. My son introduced me today. The flavours. There aren’t even words to describe how amazing everything tastes. 100000% recommend!”

“Absolutely loving the new early hours!!!! 7am opening makes it possible to grab some awesome food prior to work!”

“Went here with 3 gal pals and loved it! The menu is gorgeously expansive with classics and unique twists. Our waitress was a pro at giving suggestions and narrowing down our options based on our taste preferences. The vibes inside were retro hotel - cool moldings & wallpaper. Cozy, dim lighting, sexy. Garnishes were all very fun, drinks were delicious! My only regret is not trying more drinks!”

“I have now come twice, and both times I left thinking “that’s the best ramen I’ve ever had.” They have the friendliest staff and the best food. A beautiful quaint interior matched with phenomenal food. I tell everyone I know, and will continue to do so.”

“Good food and service. Enjoyed oysters and fresh sardines.”

“The best hidden gem on Oak Bay Ave!!! Delicious delicious delicious!”
