I recommend checking & opening the containers before leaving the restaurant, however. I asked for vegetables to be cooked until very soft for my elderly mother's weak teeth. They were not cooked soft. Perhaps communication error. Nice family-run place. I am used to Chinese-American cooking, which this is not. It seems authentic Chinese. A mandarin-speaking couple was dining in while I was there. Prices were higher than what I was used to for Chinese takeout. But I am new to the area and this is an upscale neighborhood. If you have a yen for Chinese food, give it a try!

Small and cozy restaurant, with good vibes for a date night out! Shoutout to our amazing waitress. She was so sweet and welcoming. I wish we got her name!! I had no expectations walking in and didn't have any expectations. I was surprised that the portions were actually decent. My boyfriend's favourite was the jumbo prawns-- he liked the texture and flavour! It was the opposite for me.. I thought the outside made it hard to eat and it was a little too salty for me. Their salmon don and chicken karaage was superb though. Flavours were on point for both and I just really enjoyed them overall. We both agreed that the beef tartare was nothing special. Didn't really taste the freshness of the beef. This was a pleasant experience overall!

I tried Michi's original fried rice stuffed wing with boiled egg and avocado. The boiled egg,…read moreavocado and salad were fresh, tasted normally good. The meat and skin of the wing was crispy and juicy. The fried rice was a bit too moist for my taste, and there're green peas in the fried rice which I don't like. But it's just my personal preference. Overall, it was pretty good. I also tried their Hong Kong style milk tea. The taste and texture were quite authentic. The server was friendly. The restaurant was clean and decorated with Hong Kong old movie posters. I appreciated the owner's love for Hong Kong culture.

The food came out pretty quickly too, and we were very thankful lol. We ordered 2 stuffed chicken wings to try/share - the corn cheese one, and the cumin lamb rice one. It is a very interesting concept of stuffed chicken, and I am not sure I would re-order this again. I liked my cumin lamb rice one, but I wish there was more cumin and lamb flavour, and less rice. I would DEFINITELY come back to have their tomato beef noodle dish again. It was so homey, and the flavours really hit. The stew sauce tasted like a great mix of Asian and Western flavours. I don't really know how to describe it, but I was slurping this down so quickly. The beef was tender and cooked perfectly. I kept telling my partner how I wanted to learn how to cook this myself at home but was unsure how to replicate the flavours, hehe.

The servers were very friendly & helpful, since it was our first time there, she suggested that we try the sample menu for 4. In the sample menu, there were several appetizers presented.

For the sample menu Aka An Choi, we had Taro & Dips, Beef Carpaccio, Octopus skewers, Tiger Prawns, Bone Marrow, Steak Luc Lac, Clams Coconut, Crab Fried Rice (OMG!) AND... you get to chose 2 kinds of desserts which we chose Vietnamese Coffee Tiramisu & 3 layer Dessert. We also ordered their Egg Coffee, Coffee Pandan, Pandan Coco Tea & Calamansi Soda Chanh. I am putting the food reviews in each of the photos or else this review might turn into a novel. It is my first time there & definitely not my last Reservation with credit card only for dinner. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere too.

Particularly, I wanted to try the Tornado rice (which I believe might be exclusive to the Burnaby location?) Overall, I liked the demi-glace sauce and comforting feeling of the omelette rice (~$18) though it doesn't come with much meat (they did have the option to add katsu for an additional $5). I did find the rice in the aburi (~$13) to be slightly on the firm end so I'm not sure I'd return for that. Though the service was pretty quick and their tea was good!

We are big fans of traditional fare, but the Block is a place we are so glad we experienced and will certainly return utilizing the knowledge we garnered during our first experience. A big thank you to for helping us through picking one price fixe January exploration of your local restaurants and filling it with other ala carte additions. As we often do we ordered far too much food, wanting to explore everything off a menu that is far reaching. Not sure if our additions worked with the price fixe menu, but we sure enjoyed checking everything out. The interior is interesting with the addition of structural steel in the space to keep this heritage building (I think) standing tall for a few generations. We sure hope it's still here for a long while and will most likely come again the next time we are in Victoria. That is saying a lot as there are a wide range of restaurants in the neighbourhood, but you do want to check the Block out!
