    Udon noodle, chk.soup ...
    Simon B.

    We ordered the Udon noddle and Ramen noodle soup, both with chicken ... the soup base was a combo spicy/vinergar and the Udon was a brown gravy/garlic ... both tasted excellent. Nice ambiance, comfy seating in the booths ... but loses 1 star for limited combinations allowed, no hot tea or alcohol for dinner service, and very limited selection of soft drinks. Come for the tasty food, but expect limitations.

    Beef with broccoli. More like broccoli with beef

    Perhaps they are short staffed but entrees came 1 at a time and the portions are small (but maybe it's because I'm used to California- size)? The wonton soup was good.

    No one but my index finger and I are here so far this morning.

    I had a decent meal here. Kind service. The Dan Dan Mein was okay - all very fresh ingredients, a little skimpy on the ground pork, excellent textures. ...but ultimately quite boring. Vastly under seasoned. By the end of the meal the dish had just become a vessel for the chili oil and hoisin they brought me to liven it up. Clean, affordable, and good tea. I don't believe I'll revisit.

    Dan Dan mein and king pao chicken
    Aviva P.

    An unassuming little place in Victoria BC's Chinatown. But the food is amazing! Hand pulled noodles are chewy yet soft. I had Dan Dan mein that had perfectly spicy pork along with delicately steamed broccoli , bean sprouts and napa cabbage. Partner had lung pao chicken, also great! Decor is a little faded but the food is absolutely worth it. And the same lady was working late into the night when we walked by later!

    Ordered side of kimchi, chow mein, wonton soup, and dim sum. Kimchi was absolutely delish, so flavorful, crispy, and fresh tasting. The chow mein had this authentic taste, and the noodles were cooked to perfection. Soup was average but delicious broth (if you like bacon flavor), dim sum was 3/5 because it was really small sizes still tasted really good. I would definitely come back here again, actually can't wait too I already know what dish I'm going to order. (Only reason for 4 stars is bc of the wonton soup and dim sum, or else this would've been 5/5).

    Chicken noodle
    Ceci Z.

    The noodles presented was not the same as the pictures on menu at all. I ordered chicken cutlet noodle, and it looks like teriyaki chicken, and bak choy is replaced by broccoli?! I would not have ordered this item if I know these were the real ingredients. The other dry noodle we ordered was also super salty. There is also a large rock like substance found which I'm guessing and hopefully is, a salt chunk. The restaurant was pretty crowded at lunch time on weekend. Two stars for the poor server boy who was very polite and is clearly overworked. He was welcoming guests, taking orders, dispensing food items, getting payments and cleaning up tables all by himself.

    Miso ramen
    Calvin S.

    3.5/5, +.5 for service Not sure about the stubborn chef as I never saw the chef himself while inside, but this place was definitely a pleasant surprise that certainly deserves the 4-star rating it has right now. I arrived at around 2pm and the place was about half full. There was only 1 waitress, but she managed to coordinate the restaurant quite well. We ordered the miso ramen and the coconut chicken noodle, after reading rave reviews about it. The miso ramen arrived first, and I definitely agree that it had one of the best presentations I've seen, and the miso broth was also very well done. The noodles were slightly soggy, which led to some absorption of the broth, but it ended up not being a huge deal. The coconut chicken noodle actually used the same noodle as the ramen, and the broth definitely had the distinct coconut taste. I somewhat wish the bowl was less of a giant plate, because the size was quite large, yet the ingredients weren't so. Washrooms are in the second floor, and are quite family-oriented with the private booths. However I had to press the flush handle quite hard in order for the toilet to flush. Service was excellent the entire time I was there. For Victoria standards, this place is definitely a must-try for those visiting the city.

    Once you enter the restaurant, you will catch the calm ambient with jazz music. Miso Ramen is a must try unless you don't like miso (duh!) LOL. The service is really nice, friendly, and fast. The portion of the bowl is large. Definitely recommended.

    We were craving something hot and with noodles ran into this place and the food was good, service was good! Not really a fan with curry but it was good! I had the chicken/beef noodles that was yummy! Friends got fried rice and gyoza! Waitress was friendly and helpful! Bathroom is located upstairs and small. Otherwise I'll probably come again

    Bug in the soup

    We got dumpling soup. The food was ok. However, the reason why I'm leaving a 1 star review is because there was a bug in my soup. I only found it when I was almost done. I told the server, and she doubted me and took my bowl away. I didn't expect not to pay for the soup, but I was expecting an apology... nothing! At least the bug was free. The bug is on the spoon.

    "Stubborn chef" I love this sign as much as I love the noodles!!
    Matthew K.

    Not much to look at outside but a humorous sign stating "3rd generation noodle maker", "no MSG", and "stubborn chef" caught our eye. The food was Amazing! We had the pot stickers, the coconut chicken curry soup and the Dan Dan mein. (spicy sausage in noodles an sprouts. We ate until we felt sick, it was that good! The menu stated you could buy the noodles and we have every intention of doing so on our next trip! These are by and far the best noodles we have ever tasted. One note! It doesn't accept US dollars or credit. Be sure to grab some loonies and toonies before you go!

    Average place for wonton noodle soup and dumplings! I came across this place with my family while on vacation. The restaurant is small, but clean and there is only one waitress. Prices are reasonable and I recommend trying the wonton noodle soup. The flavor is different from the Chinatown in Houston and I actually like it better! In Canada they don't put as much salt or MSG in the soup.

    Iffy service, pretty solid food…read more My family and I weren't feeling any of the nearby restaurants at our hotel. Then we decided to visit the small Chinatown in the Victoria area. To make our 3-hour visit there worth it, we wanted to have dinner here, and I don't regret finding this place; it was awesome eating here! The inside is mildly bright with many tables for seating but it also feels oddly quiet inside given the number of people inside (it was halfway to a full house). You'll also see some wall decorations and figures at the front. Service here was pretty slow; it took 15 minutes for my mom and sis's dishes to come out, and nearly 25 minutes for the first portion of my dish. Sometimes my server was pretty busy to take some of my requests like getting a spoon or the check. As for my food, I got the traditional Crossing the Bridge rice noodles, with the standout items being the Yunnan pork and raw pork for me. My ingredients for this dish came out in 25 min, with the soup and coming out 10 minutes later and the noodles following a couple minutes after that. With the way everything but the noodles were being brought out, I was worried the soup would start getting cold by the time I threw everything else into the soup. Looking past all of that, the whole thing was actually delicious! Soup wasn't sour and instead felt very homely, and the amount of ingredients was perfect. The soup wasn't in any sort of stone pot to keep it really hot, but everything ended up being fully cooked before i started eating. Others things to mention: - We got two orders of wonton soup. These don't include noodles, and the wontons looked pretty bland even though they're actually full of taste. - My mom's zhajiang noodles came in soup, which is definitely a first since I usually see it without. - Portions in general are quite small though they aren't as expensive when looking between CAD and USD. I'll mentally add this place to my list of places to revisit whenever I'm back in Victoria!

From the regular menu I just got stir fry pea vines. The pea vines were crunchy and garlicky. They were to my liking. On the dim sum menu we got tripe, Xiao long Bao, omasum, har gow, chicken feet, and ham sui gok. My favorites on the dim sum menu were the tripe, Xiao long Bao, and chicken feet. The omasum was a bit too chewy and needed to be cooked long because I also had a hard time eating it. Everything else filled me up quickly and they were a great late night eat! Overall, Golden City is a standard place for Chinese food. The employees were nice but it's easier to talk to them if you have another mandarin speaker with you. My partner speaks mandarin so he helped me order.

Unlike Vietnamese bun which is thin like vermicelli, these were quite a bit thicker, almost like a round fettuccine. As appetizers, we had the duck egg rolls. We managed to eat them before taking a picture.... they were finally ground duck in egg roll wrappers. We also had the sliced pork belly with garlic sauce. I remembered to take a picture before it was completely gone! It was one of the most amazing things I've had. It's cooked and thinly sliced pork served cold, with crisp and refreshing julienne carrots and cucumber. It's served with a thin dressing that includes fresh garlic. The whole thing is cool, sharp, refreshing, and satisfying. Finally, I had the noodles. I borrowed somebody else's picture, because I forgot to take it before I dumped the toppings in. It comes with two or three different kinds of pickles, toasted soybeans, and green onions. The idea is to stir those into the noodles and eat them first, like a cool noodle salad. Then... you dump the broth on top and enjoy them like a Ramen or a noodle soup. It was absolutely amazing. As a Texan, I'm no stranger to spicy food, but somehow the spicy broth caught me at the back of my throat rather than just the tongue. You should definitely give this place a try! It felt authentic.. most of the customers in there appeared to be Asian, which is usually a good sign.
