Restaurants near Oak Bay

“Fantastic. I was told it was a very small place. It's not. On a sunny Friday at 6pm we had to wait about 5 minutes for window table. It was busy but staff were very efficient and pleasant. We'll be back.”

“I had a wonderful dining experience at this Japanese restaurant. The quality of the ingredients truly stands out—everything was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. You can really taste the care and attention put into each dish. The staff were friendly, attentive, and very helpful. Special bravo to Jammy for the excellent service and warm hospitality, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The ambiance is very pleasant, with a beautiful Japanese-style atmosphere that adds to the overall dining experience. In terms of pricing, the cost is fair and reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food—it’s not outrageous at all. This restaurant clearly focuses on quality over quantity, so if you’re looking for large portions rather than refined, high-quality dishes, this may not be the place for you. However, if you appreciate fresh ingredients, great flavors, and a lovely atmosphere, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit.”

“First time dining at KAPPO. Should of tried sooner. The katsu was perfect crispy. The side dishes were great cleaning the pallet. I will come back to try the chef special.”

“Your apple fritters and jellie donuts are amazing!! Always such amazing service too!! 🥰”

“We visited again from Sask and did not disappoint! Amazing! Well worth the wait in line! I had the tuna on salad! And my husband had the halibut fish and chips with a side of the chowder. The chowder was his favourite. Still taking about it. The staff were also fantastic. Friendly and very efficient! For the amount of people served and the small space we were amazed at how spotless the kitchen was. Highly recommend a visit here!!”

“Incredible Chili Basil Pork delivered by the owner's husband to track and field officials at the BC 55+ Games. Friendly service and amazing, hot food!”

“Great Foodspot! I loved the corndogs, and the wings were amazing too. The staff is so nice -I had a wonderful chat with the person who took my order. Highly recommend :)”

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

“What a gem! The service was fantastic! The place is gorgeous! The food outstanding! The wine list is very good and not unreasonably priced. From the tuna to the scalopinne to the three different pastas that were ordered everything was delicious and the portions were generous. Make a reservation. This place was very busy on a Sunday night in September.”

“This place is a gem! The food’s always fresh and tasty — best hoagies around, hands down. Staff is super nice and the place is always clean. You can tell it’s family-run and they put love into everything they make.”

“Amazing food and atmosphere! Staff are fantastic!”

“One of my favourite places to go. Wonderful atmosphere. Great staff and the best tea in Victoria.”

“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.”

“Home of the best cheesesteak I have ever had. You are doing yourself a disservice if you aren’t eating here!”

“Came here at just after 4pm today on a whim. Clearly we hadn’t checked their opening time ahead of our visit and when we rolled up it was closing. However as we were planning our next move their finance guys happened to be leaving and asked if we would like to be servers some whiskey and beer. Of course we said yes! He opened everything back up for us and proceeded to served some samples and a tasting flight. Then he gave us a little tour of the back. Clearly MacAloney’s finance guy cares about the bottom line because we bought a few bottles. But more than that he cares about service and keeping customers happy. What a great afternoon and what a great place! Oh and their whiskey is fantastic too.”

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

“Just go it’s very awesome”

“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.”

“Everything was so good. Their fresh wasabi is a must try! Our total came to $250 for 2 adults and one child. Their pictured menu does not do justice for the actual food display! The food was a bit pricier than other sushi restaurants we been to, but the quality, display and taste is top notch!”

“Harsh who takes the order and gets the food for you is the most knowledgeable and genuine person from the start he suggested us with proper quantity and I must say the taste was authentic..”

“What an absolutely delicious experience. Everything was on point, from the service to the food, a great wine selection and a warm atmosphere. We all ordered the confit duck leg and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend”

“The atmosphere, food and service were ASTOUNDING! We have not experienced such incredible food and service in a long time and Block nailed it!”

“I love how tiny and welcoming it feels 😎 always busy and the flavors are delicious 😋 Highly recommend ✨️”

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

“Oh my goodness!!! THE FOOD HERE 🤤… delicious! I feel like my mouth has been transported to Korea. 🍜

We came for our 10 years of “knowing each other” anniversary and this is a place I won’t forget.

Thank you for the food! 🍱”

“It's a great place!”

“Incredible food, awesome staff, and great vibe. I wish we lived in Victoria so we could go here on the regular. We enjoyed many of the sweet treats, espresso, and the tofu scrambles.”

“Still thinking about last night's meal all day today. Each dish surpassed itself. The presentation, the story behind each dish, the ingredients and the amazing flavours. Most memorable dinner of the year. Also...mocktails (the cucumber one) was amazing. I think I need the recipe for that! Thanks to the entire team - front and back of house. Well done.”
