(and also so we can call people to meet). the bathroom needed some cleaning though. read more

I was familiar with Cantonese and Szechuan styles of Chinese food, but I'd never heard of Guangxi. I'm definitely a convert and need to seek it out! They are known for rice noodles. 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. read more

Highly recommend the duck spring roll. Very unique and tasty! The beef brisket rice noodle soup came with their signature Guilin rice noodles, which had a nice bite. The soup was flavorful, no condiments or sauces, access didn't need any IMO. I wish there head been a little more beef, but it tasted good, with some crunchy cabbage to offset the soft daikon. The setting was casual, and I agree with another reviewer that the radio station playing didn't add to the ambiance, but not did it bother me. The service was prompt and friendly. I'd come back and try a hotpot for sure! read more

Stopped by for some Chinese noodles during our cruise stop in Victoria and it was okay. The high Yelp rating and family recommendations are what helped us decide on this place in Chinatown. We went in on a weekday just after lunchtime so it wasn't very busy. Our server was friendly. They may have been understaffed because he was the only one serving and a lot of the tables had a bunch of used dishes from previous customers on them, like the server never cleaned them up. Food took kind of long to come out. Eventually, they had to close the shop because the cook wasn't feeling well or something? It was unclear but we were able to finish our meals. It seemed like once they closed the shop, our server forgot about us and never came back out. We had to bring the check to the server in the back in order to pay and leave. Pretty odd experience. I ordered the Dan Dan Rice Noodle soup. The noodles were very slippery and kind of difficult to eat. Broth wasn't very flavorful. It was also pretty spicy so I couldn't finish the dish. I just had higher expectations. 3/5 Overall, food was very mediocre and service wasn't the best. I wouldn't come back. read more

Momi Noodle - Dan Dan Rice Noodle Soup - Chinese Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

We ordered a shrimp wonton rice noodle and Taiwanese pop corn chicken. The broth was terrible. Wonton was salty and hard. The pop corn chicken was over fried and doesn't taste like chicken. read more

We tried their guilin marinated rice noodle. It was pretty good! I've never tried rice noodle in the form though. My friend ordered the dan dan noodle, but it came out a different dish! not sure if there was some sort of miscommunication, but we were sure we ordered dan dan. So we were a bit confused why the order came out different. There's free wifi here! And the server was very friendly too. read more

This place brought me so much nostalgia because of their offering of guilin rice noodles. I rarely ever find this dish in restaurants, and when I do, I have to get it. When I saw that this spot offered them, I knew I had to come! We came on a rainy Saturday for lunch, and there wasn't anyone else inside. Between the two of us we shared the classic guilin rice noodle bowl (and upgraded it to the larger size for only $3 more) as well as the hot and spicy wontons. The noodles come served on a tray in a nice set with all the toppings and soup arranged around it. You can choose to add them in or not, but I would definitely recommend adding them. The noodles also had its own seasoning that can be a little salty for some, but mixed with the pork broth its perfect. The portion was super generous, and so comforting! My only nit pick was that the soybeans weren't crunchy and didn't get that same nutty flavor like they do in guilin, but everything else was great. The wontons came in a chili oil soup, and were also super good - the broth was amazing and the wontons themselves had great flavor. When we walked by another day it seemed to be a lot more busy, which I was really glad to see! This is a great spot for some classic Chinese noodles and I would certainly want to try more of their menu. read more

Decided to try a Guilin spot, Momi Noodle, in Chinatown. It's sandwiched between Habit Coffee and Dumpling Drop. We dropped in on a Sunday (11:45am) for lunch. This place must have been an art gallery because the decor is very eclectic. Go up to the counter to pay when you're done eating. Menu consists of combo, specialties, noodle in soup and hotpot noodles. Make sure to ask for their homemade chili oil. - Guilin marinated rice noodle (A1) ($14.95) - huge portion of noodles. Broth was light but well rounded. Couple of the pork pieces had a nice skin crackling, beef was tender. Our favourite of the three bowls. - Dan dan rice noodle (A4) ($15.95) - broth was very plain. Prefer the traditional dan dan style over this version. - Sour cabbage pork belly rice noodle (A12) ($18.95) - a mix of noodles to give some contrasting textures. Broth had a touch of sour note, but mild. Okay but nothing special. Decent fare at MN. 3.5 stars. read more

Momi Noodle - Guilin marinated combo - Chinese Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

I've never had Guilin noodles before, and it was definitely a unique flavor to try! The portions are quite large, even sharing this with my partner, we couldn't finish all the noodles. I happened to notice the same with other tables where all the toppings & meat were gone but there was still a pile of noodles left. We also tried the spicy wontons, pork dumplings, and cucumber salad. Everything had different flavors than I expected, but probably cause I typically have only eaten Szechuan or Hunan style Chinese food. The service & ambiance were okay. Nothing stuck out to me, but I'm glad I tried something new and it's fun to see a restaurant with such a unique style of cuisine. read more

我们是跟着小红书过来的，以为能大快朵颐，没想到踩了地雷。我们点了一个牛肉？米线，一个牛肉葱油饼。牛肉米线里只有寥寥几块牛肉，剩下的都是白白的牛油。想着说可能只是个例。没想到等牛肉葱油饼上来的时候，简直让我惊呆了，整个一盘的饼，每个揭开都是像相片里的一样，只有白白的牛肉，没有一丁点儿红肉。不知道这家店是怎么在大温地区中餐竞争这么激烈的情况下存活的。或许靠的是虚假点评？ We followed little red book and found this noodle place in Victoria. We thought we were going to have a wonderful dinner. We ordered Beef noodle and Beef fried pancake. The beef noodle was just so-so, There were just several red beef meat in the noodle soup, the majority was just fat white as snow. We thought this might be just a rare case. But our jaw dropped when we saw the beef fried pancake. Shown in photo, there was no red meat at all but just some white fat. We would never return. read more

After 7 days of long cruise, I had to get my comfort food - noodles. This place is cozy, staff is friendly, and service is quick. The flavor and noodles hits just right and cures my soul. The pickled radish flavor is perfect with a hint of saltiness and right amount of pickled flavor. My only complaint was that it had a lot of noodles but not enough meat. read more

A lovely surprise in old Victoria. We were headed for a dumpling place which turned out to be closed, so we wandered down Pandora and found Mimi Noodles. It's a small, informal Chinese noodle place with charming decor and some of the best rice noodle soups we've ever had. Great Dan Dan noodles! Just the right amount of heat, great flavour (star anise!). And their basic noodle dish (A1 on the menu) came with four toppings on an elegant little tray. A great mix of flavour! Highly recommended. read more

Probably the best noodles I've had ever. It's my first time trying guilan style noodles and the sides and peanuts def elevate the flavors. The Dan Dan noodles were in a small puddle of broth that was pact with spice and flavor. The cucumber with the Dan Dan noodle combo helped cut the oil and spice perfectly. Even back in SGV (California), I'm still craving this! read more

I was walking in a cloudy, rainy day. It's a holiday, not a lot of people walking except for tourists. A lot of stores are closed because it's thanksgiving. I chanced upon this place as I was craving for Chinese food. The place is clean and there's plenty of tables. I've always liked the industrial look with brick walls and various decorations hanging on them. The lady who welcomed me was pleasant. Asked me to sit wherever I feel comfortable. Immediately gave me the menus to peruse. There's plenty of choices and they all looked good, especially the noodle bowls. I was craving for a rice meal so I ordered the General Tso Chicken. The portion was good. It has carrots, lettuce, chicken, and red chili. I suppose you can ask them to hold off on the chili if you don't like spicy food. Over the years I've seen places serve their version of Gen Tso Chicken or Gen Tao Chicken. This is one of the better ones. The presentation is simple. Wooden spoon, chopsticks and tray. I love wood, and earthy decor. I recommend this place. Music is not loud, it's clean, simple, and I think you get your money's worth for the portion sizes. I'll be back! read more

Lovely little spot right outside of Chinatown Victoria. I dined in in Novrmber of 2022 In terms of food, it is quite underwhelming. My beef brisket with noodles tasted relatively plain. Same with the beef rolls. I do recommend the Chinese style potstos. They are sweet and delicious. Perhaps I ordered the wrong items, or my expectsirons are too high, but my visit didn't really impress me, and I'm not too keen about the food. read more

How have I never visited his amazing establishment until 2024, it's a hidden gem that needs to stay this way forever so I can enjoy it all to myself! The Dan Dan Noodles were off the chart amazing and seasoned perfectly, fried potatoes were little bites of heaven and the pan fried gyozas were some of the best I've had - and I've eaten a lot of dumplings in Asia! The service was polite, not overbearing and a perfect vibe to arch the environment. And the establishment was spotlessly clean, which for me, is a must in a restaurant. I can't wait to go for a 2nd visit!! read more

Not only was the yelp review good, someone at the visitor center recommended we go here. As a vegan, we thought we would have better options. While the cucumber salad was good, the rest of the options were pretty bland. Most staggering was the service. We had to send a cup back because it was dirty, and did not get an apology, and, no one asked how the food was. They were not busy at all. An overall oddly poor experience. read more

Unable to make variations on the menu for kids (ie simple rice and egg for fried rice). Ordered 6 different noodle dishes and ultimately each one tasted the same with minor variation. My son noted that some of the noodles were even crunchy. We question whether dishes were being made fresh. Not an authentic Chinese noodle place. read more

This was our first stop while in Victoria. It was a cold day so I got the pork wonton soup and my partner got the fried rice. Both were pretty good! The wonton soup with rice noodles was very light but comforting, the fried rice was delicious. read more

Idek where to start! After a long day of walking the Butchart Gardens with a dog and infant then hitting downtown to check out some stores, I was craving noodles so my husband pulled up Yelp and found this place. Fortunately, it wasn't too far from where we were. The spot is literally less than a min away from Fan Tan Alley and so close to Market Square. We walked in around dinner time and there was just another family there. We were seated quickly. It was probably our first time trying this type of noodle so we weren't really sure what to order. We decided to go with the Dan Dan Noodle and Guilin Hot & Sour Noodle based on what we saw on yelp. The food came pretty quickly. I got a mild version of the Guilin hot & sour soup but then decided to add more chili oil which made it 10x more better. The sides made it more delicious too. I didn't get to try the Dan Dan noodle but my husband loved it and he can be a pretty harsh critic. The soup wasn't burning hot which I appreciated considering I needed to eat quickly so I could switch babysitting duties with my husband. The meat could've been a little bit more flavorful but with all the sides and spice, I didn't mind. The service was great and I loved that they had artwork up for sale too. Makes for an eclectic place. I would definitely come back again! read more

We did an evening foot tour of the Chinatown and was searching for restaurants that were still open. We came upon Momi based on Yelp review. We ordered the Dan Dan Combo and the General Tso's Chicken. The Dan Dan noodle was soupy and the noodle was rice noodle, unlike the Dan Dan noodles I had before in California and Asia; the taste and texture reminds me more of the Guilin rice noodle soup I had in Guilin China. The General Tso's Chicken was a little over cooked, the flavor was ok. I would try the Guilin noodle soup there next time. read more

Noodles are soft and delicious. I got DanDan noodles and it was more soupy, which is different than other places but very good. Flavor was a little spicy, pork was flavorful, nice refreshing flavor with the cilantro and green onions. Great place to get fresh noodles read more

On our last evening in Victoria we wanted to eat here. We had taken the harbor taxi to Chinatown and walked by this restaurant. I looked at the electronic sign board that said open till 9pm.
