exceptionally delicious!!!! This is a culinary gem that you is close - but is likely unknown by the tourist crowd. Definitely one of the best meals while in Victoria! A hole in the wall so to speak - but in the best way possible! read more

Great food and you get a lot for your money. I really think this is a great place to grab a quick tasty meal. I like places like this that aren't trying to be something flashy or fancy but offer good food at a great price. read more

Good place to get a quick bit of Asian food. The tuna with soba noodles probably should switch the albacore to ahi or something. Dinner * Tuna with soba (Good) * Minced pork special with rice (Excellent) read more

Sweet and sour pork belly was good. We also order chicken pad Thai and beef with broccoli. Flavors were nice. We would prefer less pasta and more veggies. The pasta to meat ratio was off, specifically for the price. read more

Foo has a lovely menu, but the execution isn't quite there. This is a modern Asian fusion food stand with room for about 8 people inside. Most people take food to go - we always took our things back to our hotel. It really is a smart menu - with items like Japanese Tuna Tataki with Soba Salad, Indian Saag Paneer, Chinese Beef & Broccoli, and Thai Red Curry - everyone is going to find something they like taste-wise. Throw in a couple specials and it's quite a variety. Entrees average about $13. I really wanted to love Foo. We picked up food with our family of 6, some of our family went back during the same trip and then I returned a couple months later. Every time we went here - half the food would be pretty good - maybe really good, and then there'd be at least one item with problems. Execution errors & consistency are the problems - Tuna Tataki completely under seasoned, conversely the Tako Salad was overdressed. The Caramel Chicken was dried out one time, good the next. Thai Red Sauce might be flavourful one time, then really bland and totally different the next; same thing happened with the Butter Chicken. Russian Roulette at Foo. I'd feel bad if you read a glowing review from me and got a bad meal. I can't wholeheartedly recommend them for that reason. read more

Visiting from Seattle, needed gluten free food, wanted take-out. Foo was a GREAT choice, just a 10 minute walk from our lodgings. The menu was very clearly marked with which items could be made gf or vegan by request. I had the Caramel Chicken and split the Pork & Pineapple Fried Rice with my boyfriend, and he had the Sweet & Sour Pork Belly besides. Food was quickly prepared and we walked back to our room to consume it. The pork in the fried rice was crispy on the outside but melted in the mouth. The pieces of chicken in my other dish were wonderfully crispy, just a tiny bit dry on the inside but I ate everything happily. My boyfriend very much enjoyed his pork belly. Thanks for being just what we needed tonight! read more

Came here because it got great reviews on Yelp and because I'm always looking for a place that serves a good pork belly for my husband. He ordered the sweet & sour pork belly (comes with rice and green beans) and I had the caramel chicken (no, it doesn't contain caramel sauce, the sauce glazes over it and it's sweet and carmelized). My husband and I both agreed that they were well seasoned and therefore had a lot of flavour!! I would definitely come back here again to try some of their other dishes: coconut chicken lettuce cups, butter chicken, pork & pineapple fried rice, and/or anything else because I think they'd be just as tasty! Came here for a second time, and I ordered the pork and pineapple fried rice and my husband had the tuna tataki soba noodles. Ok, so I know most people would say fried rice is just rice fried, but this place got it right! It's so tasty with generous portions of crispy pulled pork and pineapples! There's a nice kick of spice too! It's absolutely delicious! Best fried rice ever! As for the tuna tataki, I'm not a raw fish eater, but my husband enjoyed his too. The fish was fresh and the rice vinegar flavoring with the cucumbers and soba made the whole dish refreshment in a bowl. Honestly, for a little place off the street, it packs some big taste into their dishes! read more

Oodles of noodles in each bowl! I eat a ton of noodles but I could not conquer the bowl that Foo served. The chewy, perfectly cooked noodles were packed with fresh veggies like bean sprouts, broccoli and napa cabbage as well as flavor. The dashi Fries were seasoned with sweet, salty spice and served with a creamy, spicy and tangy aioili. read more

We ordered ground lamb curry and the caramel chicken. The caramel chicken had a nice gingery sweet taste to it, the chicken was a little dry but over all it was good. Our favourite was the ground lamb curry. It was delicious and tasted very similar to something that we can get back home in India. The lamb was perfectly ground , perfectly spiced and seemed like good quality. We will definitely come back and try other things on menu when we visit Victoria again. read more

Searching to find something different yet the same I stumbled onto Foo. Reading the menu I was intrigued. I thought my dining companion would try the Beef and Broccoli Chow Mein and I would try the Pad Thai...however he changed his mind and on the fly I changed my order to the Caramel Chicken. Oh My! Can you say pleased!!! Just the right blend of sweet, savoury, crunchy, squishy with a touch of heat! What more can you ask from your food!!! My only sadness is this deliciousness is not in Edmonton, AB. Now my quest begins. Go to Foo...you will not be disappointed. Even my VERY picky dinner companion said it was good! read more

Foo - Caramel Chicken - Asian Fusion Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

Delicious, nutritious food, but wtf is up with the dysfunctional ordering system. We called to put in a take out order and got a recording. Called 10 minutes later. Recording. Went in, sat myself and was ignored. Finally discovered there was a window to the side of the establishment that a guy was calling people's name so I approached him and made the order. First attempt: 630 PM. Food picked up, 730 pm. Let people in on how to get the damn food! It's really good!!! read more

Stopped by for a late night bite. We ordered the papaya salad, and beef and broccoli. Both dishes were very average. The salad was unique due to the very finely shredded papaya, but lacked texture. Easily solved by adding some green beans, cherry tomatoes, larger peanuts. Also, it said chile lime dressing but lacked heat. Great for those who don't do well with spicy. The beef, broccoli and noodles we're just lackluster. The noodles could have used some char from the wok. And the seasoning was on the sweet side and could have benefitted from some more savory and umami elements. read more

DO NOT ORDER PORK BELLY DISH! I ordered sweet and sour pork belly as many people reviewed said it's the best dish and you have to order it on your first visit Foo. IT'S SOO NOT SWEET AND SOUR, IT IS VERY SALTYY! They even sprinkled coarse salt on top of the pork belly. I also ordered the low-mein which was hella bomb compared to the "famous" pork belly. Service is 4.5/5, pork belly 0/5, low-mein 4/5. The portion is big here just FYI. read more

If I could just review in drool emojis, I'd plant about 10k of them right here. It's *that* good. I was just in Victoria for 10 days, and I ate here FIVE times. Yeah. No shame. It's just SO F*CKING DELICIOUS. Also the counter staff are all pretty cute and super kind, so that's a big bonus. Get the pork belly or the caramel chicken. They're straight up to die for. read more

Very cool Asian street food restaurant! Everything tasted fresh and tasty! My butter chicken is tender and flavorful, maybe a tad under seasoned, but I do not hate it. The Japanese fries is crispy, but a little bit over seasoned... it was rush hour when we visited, so I don't really mind that much. Hearty and healthy Asian food! read more

I'll preface my remarks by telling you I love spicy flavourful food. Dropped in to Foo at noon yesterday to try out 'Asian Street Food'. A huge error. Tried their hot and sour soup (special of the day) and it was awful. Overly spiced so as to have only heat and no flavour, I could not get through 10% of it before realizing eating more would not help make it taste better. My friend ordered vegetables and steamed rice. It was drenched in a brown syrupy sauce that overpowered any natural flavours and rendered the meal a heavy gooey mess. For about $20.00 the meal was a disaster. We will not return. read more

Came here on a first date. As I am a vegetarian I was skeptical that there wouldn't be options for me. Boy are they accommodating! Vegan and vegetarian options for almost every item on the menu. I tried the red curry and now I find myself craving it all the time. The fried tofu soaks up all that thick, creamy, savoury sauce. My boyfriend gets the pork belly and swears by it. So the food is great. Let's talk atmosphere. Organized Chaos. When your waiting for your food you'll start to sweat as there aren't any seats available in the restaurant. Not to worry: a seat will free up quickly and they make it easy for people to clean up for themselves. I recommend Foo for takeout as you won't feel rushed to free up a seat at home. read more

Went to Foo for the first time. Had the Carmel Chicken. It is a good thing I live 30 minutes away or I would have to eat there every day! Amazing balance of sweet and spicy. Perfectly cooked chicken and veggies. Great crunch. The only thing I could have wished for, was MORE! Great job folks. Can't wait for my next chance to try something else on the menu. read more

So I had the wonderful Lemon Grass Chicken dish. This tasty chicken is served over, what seemed to be, fresh stir-fried rice noodles. In a spicy sauce with a hint of peanuts and subtle Chile notes. The noodle bowl is finished with scallions, peanuts and cilantro. Awesome portion size for $12. The Foo has about 10 bar seats inside and about 20 seats on there street side patio. So not great for a sir down meal. But perfect for that person looking for a quick delicious bite to eat. One thing I would have loved was a cool beer with the wonderful good. All around great appeal. Will definitely be back. read more

Food was delicious but girl behind the till with pink hair was extremely rude. She asked us if we were taking the food to go and when we said we wanted to stay she said "Well GOOD LUCK, and just so you know, it's dangerous that you are blocking the entrance to the kitchen" We were not blocking the entrance, we were merely paying for our food and we noticed a family of four was just clearing up their dishes so we would have had space at the tables available. read more

Ummm... Wow! Didn't expect a lot from this small restaurant. Ordered three items - lamb curry, papaya salad, tuna and buckwheat noodles. All were amazing. It was so good we went back the next day!!!! read more

On a recent weekend trip to Victoria, we stumbled upon Foo. Inspired by Asian street food, the menu is diverse and interesting, but not so huge that you get overwhelmed. We had the Tuna Tataki & sweet and sour pork belly, served over rice with a side of chili green beans. Quite possibly the best pork belly I've had. The beans were tender crisp and delicious. The tuna was fresh and the chilled buckwheat noodles and cucumbers were just right for a hot day. If we'd come across it sooner we'd have definitely gone back but it was our last day. There's always next time! At $14 each the prices seemed a little steep but we're from Seattle so not sure if those prices are normal for Victoria. We were on vacation so we didn't care but I can see where that might be a problem for locals. read more

I am not usually one to enjoy restaurants where non-Asian folks are making Asian food...but with Foo I make an exception. The octopus salad is fresh tasting and hearty. The daily specials are always great and inventive. Never have I had a dish where the veggies were over cooked, or the dish itself over sauced. The price point is reasonable and they are always quick. Staff here are very friendly. The kitchen is exposed so you can see how clean it is ( very). Give it a try, I do not think you will be sorry. ;) read more

I went here a couple years ago and I still dream about eating here again...all the time. Even my mom loved it, and she normally is a picky eater who always seems disappointed when we go out to eat. I had a favorful fatty cut of pork belly, although I thought I might have a heart attack after I had it. Crunchy vegetables, very well cooked. Love this place. read more

Foo is the fooooooocking best, y'all. i could eat their butter chicken every meal for the rest of my life and die fat & happy. bonus: the dudes on the line are all hot hipster nerds. perfect takeout spot, 5 stars, please either gimme that butter chicken recipe or open a shop in Vegas soon. read more

I have relapsed - I am eating meats that are not fish again. And when I decided to relapse, I tried the Pork Belly sandwich at Foo. And it is amazing - it melts in your mouth and fills you with delicious barbecue saucy flavors (well, the sauce used seems like a thicker hoisin). But I will admit that on my first try, I went for a not-terribly-memorable version of a Curry Fish Laksa that didn't blow me away. Also, I always feel awkward while waiting for my food at this place and I don't know why. I wish they had a copies of Monday Magazine or Exclaim by the door to read while waiting for the food. read more

If you seek pretty darn good food, made quickly, for a decent price and that can be obtained on a week night at 9-10pm? This folks - is your place. I've been wanting to try this spot for awhile, but for whatever reason, keep missing it. Enter post-event exhaustion coma and a quick dinner needed. I popped in here at about 9:50pm on a Monday night. Call me old fashioned, but I still get surprised when I can find food in Victoria after 9:30pm. I got the caramel chicken and pork belly ramen soup to go. The ramen soup? I wouldn't have it again. The pork belly was cooked well but the broth just didn't jive with me at all. In fact, i'm glad I ordered a second dish or else this would be a very different review. But the caramel chicken - oh my goodness - the caramel chicken. The caramel chicken saved the day. It's a great, "I just had the longest day ever and just want to face plant in fast food, except I know that will make me feel sick, so i'm desperately seeking an alternative that is slightly healthier but still curbs the craving" dish. It's fried well and damn tasty. I would have liked extra veggies and know to ask for such next time. The woman behind the till mentioned that it was the most popular and I understand why - that chicken alone will have me coming back. So for fast but slightly better for you food? This haunt is a good staple. Just tread carefully and ask the staff for recommendations. read more

I like Foo. I like that they have a really casual space where I can have a solo meal without feeling awkward. I love their sweet and sour pork belly and their soba noodle salad. I even love the music they play. 1 star deducted because sometimes, their food is WAAAAY over-seasoned. The pad thai is just too saucy. The octopus salad has a spicy glaze that competes with a powerful dressing. Some of the curries just have way too much going on. That being said, when I stick to my regular favorite items, I'm always totally pleased. It's fast, yummy, and reasonably priced food. Give it a try, just maybe with the sauce on the side? read more

Foo has addictive Asian-inspired creations that make it a craving stop for lunch . . . Recently I enjoyed their special, Mapo Tofu ($12), which was served in a bowl with a perfectly cooked scoop of rice. Ground pork and beef with black beans, in a spicy, rich flavourful hoisin-chili sauce, with a hint flavour of ginger and sweetness finish. The firm tofu doesn't add much, but does help balance out the spicy heat. The bowls never look like enough food, but they definitely turn out filling in the end. Eat in or take out. The outdoor seating is best choice, although the seats are all hard cold metal, so bring a jacket to sit on. Service is friendly, but since each dish is fresh made to order, you may wait a bit longer than you'd expect (longest was 20 minutes one time). Check out the magazines or use their wi-fi. I'll be back . . . . read more

Saw Foo while having a coffee at Habit across the street and decided to try it for a light lunch. The tuna & soba and watermelon salad we had were delicious and was a bigger portion than expected. Nice twist on fast Asian food, great concept. read more

This was on our list of food priorities for our Victoria trip. The pork belly and the tuna are both amazing. It's not too hard to find awesome tuna tataki, but this pork belly is super hard to find elsewhere. It's thick, juicy, crispy, and it sticks to your gums. I can't explain how awesome it is, so you'll just have to come try it! ;) read more

I'm giving 2 stars which is generous but allowing for a very wide berth due to the fact that i went in on new years eve around 3 p.m. In the afternoon. I was really hungry and wanted something to fill me up before new years eve and have leftovers for breakfast. So the carmel chicken rice bowl was appealing. I think this is a dish that has a great potential but what i ended up with was very dry old twice fried chicken sitting on a 1/2 cup of rice in a lot of hoisin sugar sauce ( where was the caramelisation exactly?) with less than 1 tablespoon of old wilted bok choy.. And yes there is a difference between old wilted bok choy and cooked bok choy that has wilted down. Now i don't mind paying a fair price for good food but this was way over priced considering the lack of veg and maaaybe 4$ worth of ingredients. And that there is no table service and you are expected to clear your own dishes made it offputting that an 11$ serving didn't have enough for leftovers. As a small but picky note, would have been great to have a hot water beverage option. It was s frigid day and the last thing I wanted was a beer that the friendly but already preoccupied with his eve. to come server was pushing. Place has great potential but the prices are too high for a self serve, in and out kind of place read more

Don't expect a full sit down restaurant, but this walk up counter with limited seating makes delicious food !! I was on business trip in Victoria and one of the street vendors recommended this place and I am glad I did ! I ordered the green papaya salad and the sweet and sour pork belly ... both were absolutely delicious ! will gladly come back on my next visit. read more

We happened upon this amazing little spot as we left the movie theater just across the street. The menu is small but smart, creative and incredibly tasty. We were only in Victoria 3 days but we chose to eat here twice because the food was so fantastic. The staff is warm and helpful, but, the amazing thing is the food. So so good! Foo is small and seemingly casual, but the food is a treat. Praise to the chef!!! read more

A nice "foodier" alternative to the stalwart Noodle Box. Small chalkboard menu with daily specials augmenting a 7 starter 6 mains menu. More flavourful than hot. Not much seating but good for fast lunch at the counter seating. Will do better than the location would dictate. It's great Victoria is now of size to have places like this. read more
