The ground pork curry was so good! This isn't a fancy place but very tasty if you need something quick and fresh.

Came here during a short stay in Victoria at a friend's recommendation. The menu was interesting. A lot of cool Asian fusion options. You order at the register and the food didn't take long to be ready. You grab your own utensils and stuff. There is only counter stool seating inside. There are some bench seating on the patio. Everything we ordered was good. My friend and I shared 3 dishes and that was perfect. Would definitely come again to try more things on my next visit. read more

A foodie friend suggested I visit this Asian fusion restaurant after seeing it featured on the Food Channel. So, I took a day off and headed to our capital city, Victoria, on a hot and sunny afternoon. After getting off the bus at Douglas & Fort and walking a couple of blocks, I arrived at the restaurant. In all honesty, the location isn't in the nicest part of town. The place itself is small, both inside and out. Inside, they were in the middle of a paint job. Outside, the dining area consisted of three picnic tables, each seating about four or so. I hadn't checked their website beforehand, but I told the cashier it was my first visit from Vancouver. She suggested three of their "most popular" dishes, all priced at $18. I chose the Sweet & Sour Pork Belly with Rice. Most entrées seemed to start at $15 and up. I opted to dine outside, given the beautiful weather. The cashier directed me to a self-serve counter for water, condiments, and cutlery, and suggested I sit at the far left by the wooden railing since other tables were occupied. When my food was ready, she called my name. The presentation was nice, but for $18 the portion seemed small -- six small pieces of pork belly, with two pieces being almost entirely fat. The green beans (about 14 pieces, four inches long) were fresh and bright green, not overcooked, and the sauce was fine. Unfortunately, the biggest letdown was the temperature -- lukewarm at best. Even the rice wasn't hot. The menu promised crispy skin, but mine was soft. While the pork was tender, it lacked the crispness you'd find at a good Chinese BBQ meat shop. Adding to the disappointment, the outdoor seating was right beside a parking lot of a liquor store where people smoked and chatted. The smell of cigarette smoke made it hard to enjoy my meal, so I ate quickly and left. It's a semi-self-serve setup, with a tray for returning dirty dishes like in fast-food places. Another note: I paid cash but wasn't given a receipt -- my oversight, since cash payments save them merchant fees. This place might have its fame, but for me, it was overpriced and the atmosphere was not conducive to a relaxing meal. Hot dishes should be served hot, regardless of the weather. Taste-wise, I'd give my dish 3/5. Value: 2/5. Sadly, it's a "one-and-done" visit for me. read more

We happen to walk by Foo earlier this week and my son looked up the reviews. He saw the menu, saw the great reviews and said we should go here before we leave Victoria. It's a casual dining spot without table service. You order at the counter and they call your name when your order is ready. We asked the friendly cashier what she recommended and went with one of her recs - the caramel chicken. It was delicious - chicken was a bit sweet and a bit spicy, cooked perfectly! Not dry so may it was thigh meat? It was served over rice. So good! Get this! The curried noodle stir fry was delicious too! Shanghai noodles with veggies, shrimp and BBQ pork. Had toasted almonds which gave it a nice crunch! Get this too! The albacore tuna bowl was still good but likely our least favorite entree. It had tuna poke, big ribbons of cucumbers, pickled rec onions and jalapeños with rice. It needed something else - shredded carrots, edamame, corn? Oh yeah, they were so nice when we ordered and added us if we had any good allergies. So thoughtful when they ask patrons about that! Highly recommend Foo! read more

Food: The saag paneer dumplings are something I am almost mad that I tried as now I will be craving them all the time but will not be able to travel six hours to get them. They are crisp and melty all at once and come with a delicious fry bread to sop up the sauce. The kung pao tofu was also good - tofu perfectly fried, good amount of veggies. Service: a walk up counter that seems to do a ton of takeout. We went on a Saturday night and got our food within 15 minutes of ordering. Service was friendly and fast. Ambiance: it's a walk-up shop with a small patio area to eat. There were a lot of people when we were there so we hovered to get a table and had people hovering when we left. Sometimes you don't have time for a sit down meal and want good food - this was that time. read more

Foo - Saag paneer and Kung Pao tofu. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

A real treasure! So many restaurants have closed, overcharged, played games with portions or the quality of ingredients. Foo delivers the same great quality and healthy portions at a fair price. The service is friendly and the vibe inside is warm and relaxed. Our favorite dishes are (1) Sweet & Sour pork belly with green beans, (2) Pineapple Fried Rice with pork, and (3) Saag Paneer. read more

Looking in ~ attractive divey joint for a late nite bite. Inside seating is a window high top long table meant for single diners, not good for groups. Fusion Foo ~ some proper flavor though it is more on the fusion side. The to-go box was 80% rice. Rip. Potstickers were over fried almost cookie like. Service ~ rushed tone over the phone, not smiley in person. read more

This spot is a hidden gem! We got the stir fried vegetables, togarashi tots, tingling noodles with tofu, and red curry with tofu. We were concerned about the red curry being too spicy but it was fairly mild with a delicious coconut milk flavor coming through. The tingling noodles were very flavorful and the addition of the stir fry vegetables complemented the dish nicely. The togarashi tots are definitely worth getting. They are crispy on the outside, warm and soft in the middle, and very flavorful. The menu description doesn't begin to do them justice. read more

Wasn't a bad experience, but not great either. Got the caramel chicken for takeout. Chicken was crispy and sauce was good, but honestly, I couldn't really perceive any caramel or chili or anything in the description. The rice grains were also long, which was fine, but I feel like these places usually have jasmine. Still good tho. Root beer was fine, but tasted exceedingly flat. I'm American, so maybe I'm just not used to the brands here. Parking is a nightmare, and also had to wait, like, 30 mins for food :( 3.5 stars read more

Ordered sweet sour pork belly. It's not bad surprisingly but portions is small from what I had in mind. It's more sweet than tangy. Very heavy on sauce and little rice. Quite flavorful. They had side chili oil on counter as condiments helps makes the food tastier. Small place seating. It's a modern Thai food style food not very authentic. I think it's catered a little more to westerners taste buds. read more

This is a food stand of sorts. You walk up to a counter and order. You sit at a counter inside or hang out on the patio. No frills. Just a local hangout that was hopping. Unlike other commenters, we found the person at the counter extremely helpful. She talked about the menu and told us how we could modify some things to our liking. Order anything with any protein. Nice. We got the paneer (really good), the sweet and sour with tofu (spicy but good), "beef" and broccoli (subbed shrimp, and also spicy) and pad Thai with tofu (we found it to be very spicy). All the dishes were flavorful...but because the food was a little out of comfort zone for spice, I'm giving it 4 stars. But I will tell you that even though it was spicy, we finished it all! read more

For dinner, we opted to eat at Foo Asian Street Food, and it was fantastic! Great ambiance and atmosphere. You can see the chefs cooking up a storm. We ordered the Saag Paneer, which comes with fry bread. The Steamed rice and a medley of vegetables make up the Tofu Kung Pao dish. Both meals were flavorful, excellent, and well-prepared! They have a terrific cuisine. I adore their concept! The host provided excellent and welcoming service as well. I'm grateful. Highly recommend this hidden gem! We'll be back. read more

Foo - Saag Paneer Tofu Kung Pao - Asian Fusion Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

I am so happy I got to try Foo! It was already on my radar from my first trip to Victoria, but this time it was on the list. I ordered the Kung Pao Tofu - this one has a spicy kick to it, but boy was it great. The tofu was coated and slightly crispy but covered in spicy sauce, I also loved the broccoli in it as well. My partner ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken and had no complaints. The Crab and Corn Hushpuppies with wasabi sauce was everything, crunchy on the outside and bready goodness on the inside. Portions were pretty decent, in fact I couldn't even finish my Kung Pao Tofu. The location is super walking friendly and there's a small patio outside with distanced seating available. read more

Asian fusion in a storefront with a food truck feel. I aired this restaurant while vacationing with the family. The place was not very conducive to a party of five dining in, they were actually a little rude about it, but we all made it work. The food was good and the portions were ample. Our son and DiL ate a few meals here in the short time we were visiting, but once was enough for me. That is not to say I would not go back, just that there are so many good food options in Victoria that I wanted to venture out a little more. We sat at the bar counter overlooking the kitchen. The kitchen staff were amazing. A very well orchestrated production of every plate. If you are planning to do take away this is your place. Dine in...a little rough but doable. read more

Foo - The ktichen - Asian Fusion Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

Foo offers a unique menu with interesting options. There were so many dishes we considered like the Sagg Panner, Kung Pao Tofu and the Sweet + Sour Pork Belly. We were on a food crawl so we chose one dish, Caramel Chicken, to share. With COVID-19 ongoing, take-out was the only option. For the price, I thought the cute little box was a little too little. Once we started in, however, we found it was a good size serving and the food was fresh, sweet, tangy and well-balance. Right down to the rice, it was all really good. Certainly worth a revisit. read more

Say yes to the Sweet & Sour Pork Belly, you won't regret it! I got it to go one night and was pleasantly surprised by how tasty it was. It's definitely Asian fusion - don't expect any traditional flavors here - but I've never had Asian fusion like this before. As other reviews mentioned, the portion size isn't large, especially for the price ($15), but I thought they were quite generous with the amount pork belly. The skin was crispy and it wasn't too fatty, so I didn't feel that guilty inhaling the whole thing. I would have loved to see just a little more green beans and rice though, but it was enough. It was on the saltier side for me although admittedly I have a fairly light palate. read more

Foo - Sweet & Sour Pork - Asian Fusion Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

Visiting Victoria BC came upon this Street food oasis adjacent to the BC LIQUOR store on Yates. Easy menu to navigate, quick and efficient in person ordering and an efficient kitchen. We ordered the sweet and sour belly pork w/chili fried green beans on rice. Y.U.M! Note those fearful of spicy - the green beans were lightly spicy. Would def order this again and will line up again to try some of the other items on the menu. Note be aware that PEANUTS are a staple topper on the menu so those with allergies gotta line up elsewhere I am afraid read more

The service here was alright. The staff didn't seem too friendly when taking my order. The food cake out pretty quick but the chicken I thought was way too sweet and kinda of hard to finish because of that. The poutines were done well though. read more

This place was across our Airbnb so it was on my radar. We had to catch our ferry and thought this was the perfect place to grab some takeout for the ride. We got the beef and broccoli chow mein, butter chicken, and pork belly. It wasn't bad, but you can tell it's very far from authentic Asian. The green beans on my pork belly had a very off texture, I can't even describe it tbh. The sauce was definitely too sweet. However I loved how fatty and thick the slices of pork belly was! The butter chicken also had very generous portions of chicken which is great. I loved how accommodating the restaurant was to allergies too, great service! I would say that this place is ok if you're just looking to eat something, but it's just a failed attempt at "Asian" food targeted for non-asians read more

Made a great choice to eat at Foo tonight! Had curried Noodle stir fry, sweet & sour pork belly & togarashi fries - all delicious! The flavors were bright & tasty and the portions were perfect. It's a small casual joint with food with big flavors. Definitely stop by and try a few dishes. read more

Food was spicy. We ordered the pork belly and the pork pineapple fried rice. It took some time to be made, and it wasn't quick. No place indoors to eat. The pork belly was good, but smaller portions. Service was not bad. There is outdoor seating. We went and ate at beacon hill park. Parking was free. Overall friendly folks. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner while in Victoria and such a yummy spot! We had a red curry dinner and they split tofu and chicken for me and a crispy chicken something now with a couple of crispy spring rolls. Everything was hot (needed some more spice but that was my fault for not asking) and loved the freshness to the veggies! The guys here are so nice and the food is good. Great little find and you can do to go as well. read more

OH YES! This place is a gem. We managed to go TWICE during our short stay in Victoria. We tried the paneer, spring rolls, butter chicken and my favorite the caramel chicken. The caramel chicken was perfectly sweetened and crispy. Frankly, ALL of it was delicious. Not great for big groups unless you get it as take out. read more

Spent our first night in Victoria with take out from Foo. Foo was the first place that popped up that had a decent looking menu so we just went for it. With 2 overtired babies we needed something fast. We ordered: Papaya salad - nothing special, just papaya with herbs & peanuts. Bacon fried rice (was suppose to be bacon AND squid but they didn't have squid) - again, nothing fancy. A tiny bit sweet with tiny bits of bacon. Caramel chicken - little nuggets of fried chicken coated in a sweet sauce, few pieces of Napa cabbage, steamed rice. The crispy coating on the outside was nice and thin and didn't have a lot of batter which was good. Beef and broccoli chow mein - a bit on the sweeter side. Beef was very fatty (I'm guessing it was pieces of brisket), very few pieces of broccoli. This place is very small - counter dining with a patio and open kitchen. The food itself wasn't terrible, but it wasn't mindblowingly spectacular either. Everything was a touch on the sweeter side which i didn't care for. Probably won't return, but the food does look amazing from the photos people have posted before though. read more

This place was so delicious and affordable, my husband and I had to come back twice! Foo's does have a tiny parking lot but both times we found close side street parking. The place itself is pretty tiny so if you're planning to meet someone there at peak hours, you might be waiting a bit. We had the pork and pineapple fried rice which was amazing! The caramel chicken was also delicious. The portions are pretty decent for only ~17 for a bowl. My favourite was the sweet and sour pork belly. It was incredible and the pork just melts in your mouth! It's quick, cheap and delicious and well worth checking out especially for a fast and easy but satisfying meal. I highly recommend this place! read more

Being featured in The Food Network channel's You Gotta Eat Here, curiosity struck me - luckily, this place was just about a 4 minute walk from our hotel. The restaurant is small, probably fits about 10-12 diners, almost like a food truck with seats .

Very good fusion of Asian dishes but unfortunately, I can't take the spices that much. read more

Small place with limited seating. The counter person was very helpful, very knowledgeable about ingredients and was generally a delight to interact with.

I might come here again, but with I'd do so with some trepidation. read more

Truly enjoyable, we were in Victoria overnight at the Oak Bay Beach resort and this was the perfect take-out to bring back for dinner. I wish they had an outpost of this spot in our neck of the woods! The beef and broccoli chow mein was flavorful and appreciated they used thin noodles without having to fry them. The beef rendang was one of our favorite dishes and fortunately not too much heat. The chicken phad Thai was delicious with not too much fish sauce and even better the day after. The sweet and sour pork belly was fantastic and still dreaming about this dish! read more

7/3/17 People have different tastes. I get it. And plus you know me, I love variety more than anything. So, a restaurant this is doing a new spin on Asian food?--yeah, I'd try... I gotta say though, this place did not help stereotypes. It is ultra hipster--the building, the staff, the customers... everything. I ain't got nothing against hipsters themselves, but there are those stereotypes, and unfortunately all are true here: Relatively expensive. Emphasis on environment, culture, and decor, and NOT on what I would think is the most important thing: food... 1. Draught CA$5.22: Okay, I admit, $5ish for beer is a damn good price. They range from $6 (written on the board, but charged as $5.33) to $10. Very respectable prices for beer. I cannot remember which beer I had, nor how good it was, but all the beers are good quality. No Miller crap here. 2. Tuna Tataki + Soba Noodle Salad CA$13.33 "seared rare albacore tuna, buckwheat noodles, + cucumber ribbons w/ sesame-miso vinaigrette": Tasted like someone salted the food once and left. Then another chef came over and salted again. Then the manager came over and thought no one seasoned it and add more salt. x10. And then they ran out of salt cause all of it was emptied into our bowl. If you can actually still eat after the salt turns the inside of your mouth into a melting snail, you would be disappointed in the fact that there are only 3 very thin slivers of fish. Couldn't have costed them more than $1 for the amount of fish they gave. I had to look to the cucumber to save my life. 1/10 3. Sweet + Sour Pork Belly CA$13.33 "crisp pork belly, chili-fried green beans, sweet soy tamarind glaze w/ steamed rice": Well, after sweating through the noodle salad, and rinsing my mouth thoroughly with the remainder of my draught, this bowl of rice and meat was like ice cold Coke on a hot summer day. The bar was pretty low, but I'd say I do like the meat itself. Sweet and sour, spicy. FOBs would probably hate it--I can hear the "too sweet" ringing in my head already. But for my Americanized palate, it ain't bad. The belly ain't cooked super well though--could be a lot more tender, but it wasn't bad. I guess if you're a skinny-jean guy/girl, this would help you out, and I'm on a diet soooooo......... hard to justify paying $13ish for this when the same would buy you just about 5x more at a real Chinese restaurant, but at least it is edible. 6/10 It should be noted, we (and another family) were the only Asians in the entire, packed, restaurant. You might think that's a bad thing. Perhaps it's a good thing. Perhaps you don't care. But it is as it is. Though my sample size is rather small, I did take a look at our other friends' bowls, and they were also equally offensive appearing, but admittedly I did not try a taste. However, everyone did note that their food was far far far too salty. Take my review with a grain of salt? 2/5 #canada #victoria #asianfusion read more
