The beer we tried were great, the food was quite well done - highly recommend soup and bahn mi, the pretzel was nice but the cheese sauce could use some improvements / might be better off with mustard / the salad was average but fresh. Lots of locals, great staff - order & pay at counter and they'll bring it to you. Warning; Some of the skinny picnic benches may not be suitable for young, old or overindulged folks. Would definitely stop again.

Pho! This Vietnamese noodle-based soup is right up there with the more trendy and expensive ramen…read morefor me. Finding a decent restaurant serving this personal favourite is always a find, and it's good to know we now have a go-to for pho in Chemainus. As usual, I started with salad rolls ($5 for two) to really get my rice noodle fix, and these were delicious, perhaps the best I've had. The pho with rare beef ($9.50 or $2 more for large) was good, but I've had better. The stock had good flavour and there was plenty of thinly sliced beef. However, the accompanying jalapeño peppers didn't give it the kick I usually look for with red Thai chilies, and the cilantro leaves, which I'd never seen offered before, were left on the plate since I prefer the soup with basil leaves. For my taste, the peppers and basil are key to my enjoyment of this fantastic soup. Friendly service. This is a lunch destination for tour buses, so expect a possible wait and a loud crowd during tourist season.

The hostess was in the kitchen having a causal conversation with the staff. When we requested a bread pudding to-go, we were told the kitchen had just closed 2 mins prior to her coming out to talk to us, even though we were in the restaurant and she was distracted elsewhere. Despite explaining that we had arrived earlier and asking if an exception could be made since it is a to-go order, the staff declined. It was a disappointing end to what we had hoped would be a positive visit.

The establishment used to be a bowling alley, the building itself looks like it, perhaps even a 1970s area curling rink feel to it. Food was piping hot and the price point is cheaper than other options in the area. Picked up a take out order on the Friday, right before the end of the year. Food was average, as some dishes were a real hit and others were less than popular at the table. The Good: Sweet and Sour Pork + Vegetable Lo Mein -Sweet and Sour Pork was some of the best out there -Vegetable Lo Mein was practically perfect but missing the toasted Sesame Oil points that you would want in the dish The Mid: Szechuan Prawns + Hot and Sour Soup -Szechuan Prawns were heckin' spicy but that was the only real taste note -Hot and Sour Soup was tasty but had literally no Sour in it The Least Popular: Ginger Beef -Ginger Beef was overcooked and the coating was heavily corn-starchy Overall, this review is sitting at 3 stars, if I could award a half star I would be giving them 3.5 / 5 for sure. Like I would eat here again, but my expectations would remain about the same.
