38 Best Chinese Restaurants in Victoria

“Best food , cooked to perfection. Large proportions. Highly recommend. very clean, fantastic friendly service.“

“Love their noodle and other small side dishes all delicious 😋“

“We recently dined in March restaurant in May 2025. The food and ambiance were excellent, and we were pleasantly surprised with the discovery of this restaurant in Victoria. Please note that this is not your typical Chinese restaurant that serves the run-of the mill dishes for a quick turn-around; instead, this restaurant serves authentic Cantonese cuisines. The chef is passionate about his cooking -- they use the freshest produce and ensure that customers enjoy the pure and natural taste of the dishes. The restaurant is tastefully decorated; it is devoid of the 'loud' Chinese lanterns or traditional writings -- and this reflects the owners' attention to detail. Dining in March is a delightful and satisfying culinary experience. Highly recommended!“

“My first time having hot pot and I was not disappointed! The food was delicious, fresh and flavorful. Seasoning bar was a nice touch to elevate the flavours. Milk tea was really good, not too sweet. Great service from our friendly waitress too!“

“An excellent new Chinese restaurant serving delicious dishes with generous portions“

“There are many Chinese restaurants in town, which I have been to, but this place is honestly in my top two the food here is amazing and the quality is top notch. The staff here are also super friendly and always willing to provide a great service to their guests the owner she is also very nice and welcomes her guess with open arms. If you like Chinese food like I do let this place be one for you to check out you would not be disappointed.“

“A great place for a quick, simple all day breakfast that comes out fast! The owner is so kind and very welcoming; makes you feel right at home. And if breakfast isn't your vibe, they also have a variety of Chinese dishes and combos to choose from. A little hidden gem!“

“Legit place. Im from vancouver and we have a lot of asian food! This place would beat a lot of other restaurants in vancouver“

“We started taking out at Jack's half a year ago. And it has always been exactly what we want. The food is great. The staff is fantastic. I highly recommend going to check them out. Especially when you are craving one of your favorites. It never gets old. Amazing.“

“We came here not really knowing what to expect but had been walked by too many times. We both admitted this was the best Chinese food we had had as far as we could remember. Talking with the waiter and cook after who were great said they really focus on the authenticity of the Beijing style they know. We've never been to China but certainly know this was not your typical Western version of Chinese food and it showed in how incredibley delicious it was!“

“Excellent GF Chinese food!!!

All of these dishes are gf and taste as good as they look (they don’t look gf 😉)

Huge portions - two people already full and it looks like nothing is missing. Even included sesame seeds and top shelf GF soy sauce!

+ I’ve been GF for over 15 years and the size of this gluten free menu is unmatched!“

“Excellent food. Something a bit different. You cannot miss this one it’s a six out of five.“

“Food is plentiful and reasonably priced. Everything was delicious! They even deliver! Loved it!

Vegetarian options: Had vegetable chop suey and lemon chicken, and their delicious lemon sauce as well as many other delicious items. I recommend them highly. So glad I found them!“

“Great food, best in Victoria“

“The best authentic Chinese food in Victoria! The best thing to do is to ask for recommendations instead of ordering Western-Chinese, as the authentic dishes were incredible and better than anything I’ve had. We got the blackened chicken, eggplant, Sichuan green beans, fish hot pot, and ant up a tree noodles which were all so flavourful. The portions are also very generous for the price!“

“This place is only for take out. The food is always delicious.. always hot and portions are very good. Their fish and chips are great as well“

“they have great food, I have been going for years“

“Ordered via Skip. Driver brought the wrong meal. Called the restaurant and they promptly dropped off the right meal and told us to keep the other one too! Thanks for the great service and so much good food!

Vegetarian options: Lots of great choices for vegetarians!“

“Some of the best Chinese in town, Have been ordering from Halibut house for 10 plus years and always excellent service, value, and quality of food.“

“Absolutely fantastic food prepared and cooked by nice friendly people,top marks all around.“

“We had delivery from J&J and it was spectacular. The highlights were the “Crispy Spicy Ginger Beef,” the “Shanghai Thick Noodle Chow Mein,” and the “Sichuan Style Green Beans.” All were fresh, tasty, and piping hot. We will definitely be ordering again or dining in.“

“Some of the reviews are wild lol

I just want to this place for the first time ever for lunch. Staff was friendly didn’t take long to get my food and it tasted great and fresh.

I’m not sure if every dish on the menu is a hit yet but I don’t know where the one stars are coming from“

“We had an amazing dinner we had delivered. The veggies are fresh , cashew chicken and sweet and sour chicken were great , we asked for extra bean Sprouts on the chow mein and they loaded it up, didn't just put a few on top like others. It was one of the best Asian dinner I have ever had. Thank you!“

“The food is delicious (had hot & sour soup and spicy ginger chicken) and the staff are awesome. This has not changed in the past 30 years or so.“

“+ Servers are quite nice, but...
- Servers don't answer questions that well, when regarding their menu: when asked "what are your thickest noodles?" (in Chinese) the response was vague confusion, as if the question didn't make sense.
+ 1st dish: Soup & Thick Soup, Hot & Sour Soup. Quite nice, with what I can assume as the correct order of spice.
+ 2nd dish: Appetizers, Honey Barbecued Pork. With many pieces, and a good sauce, this is just a tastier grilled thick bacon.
• 3rd + 4th: Hong Kong Style Chow Mein, Barbecued Pork & Vegetable Chow Mein. + Vegetable, Eggplant with Garlic Sauce.
+ 3: The pork is SO SOFT, and the serving size is big enough for a single meal by itself. Taste works as expected as well.
+ 4: By a personal professional, the eggplant is great, and overall is better than many of the other restaurants'. For my opinion, though the eggplants' nastier taste does come out every-so-often, after dipping it in the sauce, it taste quite like fish (as advertised)!
+ 5th: Seafood, Szechuan Seafood Delight. And delight is the right word, as its softness and taste is quite delightful indeed. The spice chosen seems to match as well.
• 6th: Hong Kong Style Chow Mein, Shanghai Special Noodle. This was ordered spicy-less and to-go, thus is not included in the rating.
+ Food quantity is satisfactory for a restaurant of this nature, and to exemplify that point, we only finished one of our dishes. Would come again.

Vegetarian options: No idea.

Dietary restrictions: No idea.

Kid-friendliness: Good for kids!

Wheelchair accessibility: You can access this restaurant with a wheelchair.“

“I dream of this place, and literally plan my trips to Victoria around it. The best. I wish I could take it all home with me!!!!!“

“Awesome Chinese food, speedy service, efficient and friendly staff. A hidden gem and a quick satisfying meal after a long day working or sightseeing. ** Highly Recommend the Lemon Chicken and Fried Rice (any rendition) ** ... Wish we had this restaurant back home!“

“Its in the food court of Mayfair mall. I got a plate with the choice of two main dishes with rice or noodles and an eggroll.Such tasty food, I tried breaded pork, and beef and broccoli along with noodles and veg. Omg I just found out about this place after 6 plus years of looking for good Chinese food In Vic. Will be my go to place for Chinese food now“

“What a hidden gem, just had the eggs Benedict here and wow just wow. Best hash browns I’ve had in Victoria. Easily best eggs benny, why does this place taste better and have better service than all the main stream popular spots. If you want a new spot to try COME HERE“

“It's like stepping into the past, the food is excellent and the family that has run this restaurant since before I was born are wonderful. It's a cash only restaurant that does good breakfast and fish and chips and even better Chinese food. The price is super reasonable and come quick and fresh everytime.“

“Coming from Ontario, restsurants here in Victoria are pretty much not to par ... but Golden City Restaurant is an exception. The food was great and I love how it has meals for the numbers of guests where you can select your dishes. Great food.“

“Amazing food and even better hospitality! If you can get there, go. We don’t want to loose this gem ❤️ Best wonton soup ever!“
