I've been to this location quite a few times since it's opening, and am sad to say the quality of…read morebubble tea has deteriorated over time. It is still decent bubble tea, and for Victoria, it's still one of the best. We ordered the Yi Fang Fruit Tea, and the Mango Grapefuit Sago Slush this time, and I can't help but notice that the classic fruit tea no longer contains all of the fruits as pictured in the menu. I hope they can bring the quality back to where they had started, especially as a popular bubble tea chain that has a lot of potential.

We were looking for a Chinese restaurant in Victoria. We had walked the tiny, but old, Chinatown…read moreand hadn't yet had Chinese food on this trip. Yelp reviews were mixed for restaurants IN Chinatown, so we broadened our search a bit. We found Hope Key just a few blocks outside Chinatown. Yelp reviews were really good, although not as numerous as we had hoped. We decided to give it a shot. We were NOT disappointed! Brenda and her brother James were the most gracious and hospitable hosts. My wife's name is Brenda, which drew an immediate bond and when we found out her husband's name was also Bill, we were instant friends. We ordered the sweet and sour pork over noodles (it was the special that evening) and the spicy szechuan chicken over rice. Both were excellent. We liked the pork better. The chicken was not real spicy, in our estimation. But the flavors were excellent. I'm not sure why they don't have as many reviews, since they've been in this location for 20 years. If you want great Chinese food, try them out!

Went to this place on a whim and was not disappointed in the food and service! We met the owner,…read moreBrenda, who was so friendly and welcoming! If you are in the mood for good Chinese food, check out this place!

This is a really strange Xing Fu Tang that definitely doesn't meet the brand standards. They don't…read morehave the wall of fortunes and neither do they serve home made brown sugar boba. Not to mention that they use cups that are labeled with Yi Fang Fruit tea branding. Very strange. We walked in on a Sunday afternoon for boba. Ordering is easy thank to a kiosk right in front. It's also helpful since the surly bobarista seems like she wants to be anywhere but in the store. Menu-wise, there are some similarities between Xing Fu Tang and YiFang menu, mostly focusing on the brown sugar milks and fruit rather than milk teas. Xing Fu Tang is a usually higher quality in fresh milk drinks, while YiFang is usually a bit better in fruity teas, but standards vary between stores. Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea, 50% Sugar ($7.99) - Before shaking, the drink tastes heavily of the brown sugar surfacing the outer rim of the cup, albeit much weaker than a typical Xing Fu Tang. After mixing, the flavor dissipates a bit into a somewhat creamy and malty tea flavor. It's not especially strong, but it's definitely identifiable in the mostly milky drink. Ice levels can't be adjusted, but also aren't too bad for the drink, at least compared to my expectations. The sweetness level, typically very high compared to other boba shops at other locations I've visited, isn't too bad either at 50% sweet here. It's not the highest quality milk tea for certain, but it hits the spot for a milk tea craving. The boba served at this boba shop is excellent. It's definitely not homemade and is clearly a commercial boba given the texture, but it's cooked until pretty much the perfect bouncy and chewy texture. It's clearly soaked in brown sugar, marinated for a long time, giving a deep sweet richness to the pearls. Milk Tea Rating: 3.5/5 Boba Rating: 5/5 This store is definitely more YiFang than Xing Fu Tang. My guess is that they are using the old signage to drive interest and sales considering that Xing Fu Tang is a slightly higher tier brand. I consider that a deceptive and unethical business practice, which automatically gets a 1* rating regardless of the actual quality of the food or drinks. Washrooms - None

I love the idea of having good bubble tea and food all in the same place! The cute mascot is also a…read morebig plus for me. We stopped by because someone had a massive bubble tea craving. They have a lot of different drinks to choose from and while they have a symbol on the menu to represent drinks that can be made hot, a symbol to let people know which drinks are or can be made caffeine free would be nice. We did get good recommendations on what to get by the nice person at the counter though for non-caffeinated beverages. You can order a la carte or get the special which includes a bubble tea and a choice of hot dog. We opted for the combo and I tried out the house milk tea with boba/tapioca. I requested it at 25% sweetness which was just right for me when combined with the syrupy boba. I loved that they use more sustainable packaging such as paper cups and straws. The heat sealed lids on top of the cups make for a better drinking experience since it's harder for you to spill your drink. The hot dogs were equally tasty. The toppings on our dogs were plentiful, very pleasing to the eye, and I loved the Asian flavors such as kimchi and furikake on ours. The hot dogs themselves were cooked to perfection and perfectly plump with a nice bite to them. Service was super friendly from the employees. The only minor inconvenience is that there are no public restrooms available but luckily we were able to find a restroom at our next destination in the area.

Cute branding but the drink was just ok, maybe their hotdogs will be better? Tried multiple drinks…read moreand I still have the same opinion about this store

Is it Partea or SH91? [Victoria BC]…read more I'm confused about the Yelp check-in page for this shop. The physical location is named SH91 but they have Partea sign on the window. I thought that it would be same dessert place as the SH91 on Yates Street which is now reportedly closed but this location only offered milk tea, fruit teas and smoothie. None of the flavors appealed to me but the guy working there suggested I should try the Watermelon slush. Mmkay, I wanted boba with the drink. The interior is small with one table. While he made my drink I observed the decor of the interior. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos but there's handwriting all over the wall. Maybe you could see from some of the pics others have posted. Some signatures, some drawings in different color Sharpies. Come to think of it even the one table inside has all kinds of handwritten things written on it. It didn't look appealing but that is their decor inside. After I got my drink we left immediately.

Another thing was the menu had so many options and you could customize your boba however you please. You could pick your sugar level tea and so much more. The boba also tastes amazing!

FOOD Full Breakfast ($15.99) Three eggs your way, two bacon, two sausage, one ham, two slices of toast, and your choice of hash browns or grilled tomato are included - good for one person or perhaps one person with a lighter appetite sharing with a small child. Western Omelette ($13.49) Ham, bell peppers, and onions mix in with the eggs along with hash browns and two slices of toast - it was decent! Note: toast comes with one packet of jam only - not sure if you can get more and/or peanut butter... Honeybuns ($2.49 each) It's a Chinese-style cocktail bun - it's a little small on the outside, but with plenty of sesame seeds on top. It's typical of what Victoria's Chinatown used to serve commonly 20 years ago. Only have the inside has the coconut topping, which already makes it pretty sweet, the rest is nice, soft doughy goodness. Recommended. They also serve lunch options; a small Chinese buffet of seven or eight items (noodle, rice, and 5-6 entrees) are available - catering to the taste of those looking for Western-oriented Chinese cuisine. === 3. SERVICE Frank is the previous owner; Henry and others now run the joint and he was very friendly. His service and the food was relatively quick. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's cozy, with mirrors on one wall and display cases for food and seating at the window bar style or at tables of 2 or four in the middle. You might be able to bring a big group here, but you'd take up all of the space. It's very clean (windows, mirrors, and all) and relatively bright, so it's welcoming. One could bring wheelchairs and baby strollers but it may be a bit of a squeeze without being near the front door. Parking is limited to whatever you can find on the street (at downtown city rates - which aren't crazy at about $3.75 for an hour).

Good option for breakfast with a clean environment. Nice staff and fresh made to order meals.read more

We were there on a not so busy Thursday afternoon for a quick afternoon snack and tea. I ordered a bruschetta and mom ordered a blueberry tart and we both ordered earl Grey tea. As soon as we set our trays and was about to eat, we noticed a mouse running through the seating area (fairly without fear, probably in search of food). I immediately lost my appetite. However because I was starving I took a bite of my bruschetta. It tasted hard as a rock. The blueberry tart though was pretty good, mildly sweet and perfect. However couldn't really spend a lot of time here since the mouse was running around even with all the tables being filled with humans.
