Hong Kong West

Awesome food! Sizzling beef was perfect. Cumin, spicey and YUM! Shrimp and broccoli was sweet, salty and spicy in perfect proportions. Great service! Very helpful server! Will go again!

A really good hole in the wall restaurant. It's always a bit of an experience picking up food, but that's how you know the food is good. One of my favorite take out places.

Time to spill the beans on a local gem. I am an out of towner that has been coming to Victoria about once a year. I have tried many different Chinese restaurants on the island, yet I come back here every time I'm in town for its delicious and oddly addictive mouth numbing spicy plates. Be prepared for an onslaught of spicy bold flavors, but you can always wash it down with an ice cold beer or a ice cold herbal tea.

Don't come here to be wowed by the ambience or its service, but do show up for its authentic Szechuan/Sichuan style cuisine. Do get their blackened bone-in chicken, stir fried green beans, eggplant in a brown sauce and sliced beef trip in aromatic chili oil. Other notables is the fish boil swimming in a chili oil bath and the shredded potato with jalapenos.

My first visit to the island was in 2008 and Hong Kong West has been operating since then or even longer for all I know. Safe to say they know what they are doing and they won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

Best Chinese food in Victoria.

Owned by a mom and pop. The food they have is slightly modified but nevertheless fantastic.

Highly recommend.

Go here to order the authentic stuff, trust me, it'll open your heart to real chinese cooking.

Went here with my girlfriend and dad a few days ago. Ordered spicy cabbage, sichuan ginger beef and 4 or 5 other things that the waitress recommended, so a pretty large order. Everything came at a reasonable time and it was all incredibly delicious! Nothing was greasy, and there were lots of fresh vegetables and delicious meat. I've been to probably 20+ different chinese places in Vic and this one is by far the best. It may take a little bit longer as it's ran by just the husband and wife, but it is totally worth it.
I think this is probably the most authentic, fresh tasting Chinese place I've been to as well, you just have to reassure them that you can handle spicy and make sure to say Xie xie ni!

Recently ordered take out after hearing many recommendations from Chinese friends. Was wowed. Shared about 4 different dishes. Amazing spices and flavour. The green beans were phenomenal! Looking forward to eating here again soon.

I think it really depends what you order, some items were great and some felt like a rip off like plain rice with a few pieces of meat and veg for $14. Make sure you have the updated menu as the one we found online was outdated and prices had gone up. The green beans were great. Would order the vegetable and meat dishes and make the rice at home if we order from here again, and avoid the rice based ones. The kids like the chow mein.

best Chinese food in Victoria, really recommended! The black chicken is sweet and spicy! Taste really good!!! And the green bean is also a must have dish! The potato dish is really interesting! I like the sour and spicy potatoes!

I ordered take away from this place. 2 spring rolls (which were very good) Special fried rice, that was supposed to be filled with beef, BBQ pork and shrimp - there was 1 shrimp and maybe two pieces each of beef and BBQ pork. The rice was steamed with a bit of soya sauce not fried. It has zero flavour. The ginger beef was burnt through and through. As well as the sauce the ginger beef was in. A total was of $30 (which included the top to a very apologetic Asian girl) of course I didn't actually see the food until I got home and wasn't going back out to complain to I added my own stuff to at least make the rice palatable. I threw out the ginger beef.

I think if I had been Chinese I would have received yummy food because the food I saw going out to the folks(who were Asian) in the restaurant looked and smelled amazing.

Family lives in Victoria but I'm based out in Toronto. To be perfectly honest, compared to Downtown Toronto, this location would not be the gem of the city. That said, apples to apples, there are very limited solid Asian options in Victoria. That taken into consideration, this restaurant is a staple go to in the city. Decor is run down, front signage not luxuriously, it's a hole in a wall with tasty authentic Chinese food if you're into food and not particular about the renovation or atmosphere. Free parking in the back. Service is warm and homey, but don't expect western restaurant practice where they check on your table every so often if you're well attended. You need something, you flag someone down. Food is on they heavy, flavorful, savory, and spicy side. Bring a group as portions are quite ample and variety is key to family Asian sit down restaurants. Three star using Toronto standards but a four in Victoria BC if you're craving that Asian cuisine. Dine away!
