Weird. But perhaps that's my ignorance of Asian cuisine speaking.
First, the chicken is delicious. My wife had the brown rice Snowy Chicken and I had the oven roasted Chili Chicken and both were cooked wonderfully. Point of clarification - "brown rice" indicates breading, which means "oven roasted" has no breading.
Both dishes came with cole slaw (which I believe is prepackaged) and "mashed potato salad," which means cold mashed potatoes. In other words, sides are a pass. Also, both entrees came with some kind of tasteless, textureless carrot-shaped food mixed in with the chicken. If there hadn't been enough chicken I could understand their inclusion as a filler, but there was more chicken than I could comfortably finish, so they could (should) have been left out of the meal.
Lastly, the "snow" on my wife's chicken was (we're confident) cheese powder from boxed mac & cheese. Unappetizing and distracting.
In summary, the chicken is prepared wonderfully, but everything else is...weird.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sep 16, 2023
New location in Victoria BC
"Good Ovening!"
I saw this restaurant in Yelp and decided to dine here randomly just for its catchy name. LoL! wait, what... over 200 photos and no reviews? This was our last evening in Victoria BC...let's try it
We were given menus... hmm, looking, looking... what to get. I decided on the Bulgogi and hubby chose the Beef Udon. Shortly after placing our order our server comes back and says that they are short of the Bulgogi beef and have only enough to fulfill one of the orders. Bummer. My hubby loves his udon so I chose something else. It took me another minute to choose their Creamy Oven Pasta. I could use a little more delicious in my day...
Omgosh... best pasta meal experience I've had in our entire 4-day Victoria BC trip. I know what you're thinking... eating pasta in a Korean restaurant. I should've ordered soy garlic chicken or something but I don't regret one bit trying their Creamy Oven Pasta. So delicious!
Good Ovening is a fusion restaurant located in the heart of Downtown Victoria BC.

When the service is outstanding, you can expect the food to be of good quality as well. The owner was so thoughtful and made our eating experience very enjoyable. We did not have to wait for our water to be refilled- a service that you don't see much where most would just leave a bottle of water on the table. The oven-baked soy garlic was a tasty variation from the usual deep-fried. The bulgogi had a good amount of beef unlike other places where there are more extenders than the meat itself. The highlight of our dinner was the crsipy pork belly with fried garlic and onion toppings. It was crispy on the outside but soft on the inside with just right proportion of meat and fat. The serving was good for 2-3 people and you won't break the bank for their prices. Definetely check this place out if you are visiting Victoria.

Great service, the waitress was attentive and polite. Nice little corner restaurant with a good selection of dishes. We tried both the bacon poutine and the original oven baked chicken. I would give the poutine a 7.5 out of 10 and the chicken an 8.5 out of 10. Good sized portions with a short wait for the food.

This place hits the spot!! Volcano chicken is amazing! Chicken is juicy and the sauce is a little sweet with a kick of spicy, the coleslaw and potato salad couldn't have been better. Their lemonade is soooooo refreshing. Kevin the waiter was friendly, has a great attitude and was a pleasure to talk to! 10 review! This

This place is THE best find we've had in a very long time!!! Their chicken is THE best we've ever had. I usually order the Original half - oh my goodness, it's amazing. We've also ordered the So-Ya - fantastic! As is the Spicy Chilli flavoured chicken. Not kidding, the flavours they use are unlike anything else in Victoria and so far, the quality has been outstanding. A must try if you haven't already.
