Wah Lai Yuen - Victoria Canada

A reasonable Chinese bakery, certainly better than Victoria BBQ House Bakery around the corner. Having said that, it wasn't on par with the ones I've tried in Calgary and Vancouver. The bread portion of each bun I sampled was quite good but the filling left something to be desired. The red bean paste was less sweet than I remember from other Chinese bakeries as well. Overall, a pretty solid offering and the best available option for this category that I've found in Victoria (better the place I mentioned earlier in the review and Sally Bun).

Great spot for authentic Hong Kong/Cantonese cuisine in Victoria. This place along with Don Mee (Dim Sum) and Golden City are my three favorite Chinese restaurants in Victoria. They also have bakery and BBQ meat offering too. The food quality is top notch and the taste is just as good as the best from the mainland. Definitely the top 3 best Chinese restaurants on the Island.

Amazing char sui and rice! Got a large portion for about $20 The red bean bun and egg tart were also amazing!!! It’s hard to find good Chinese bbq and buns in Victoria so this is really appreciated. Staff were very kind too. Can’t wait to come back and try the crispy pork.

Great place in Chinatown. The gentleman cutting all the fresh BBQ meats seems like he's running the show. We had our last meal in Victoria here and it hit the spot. I would say the highlights are the bbq meats and duck. I huge plate of duck and roasted pork with some broccoli was fabulous and just under $15 was great value. Portions are huge here....I had the rice noodle in Soup with dumpling and soy chicken....I wasn't a huge fan. Again the bowl was huge, but I thought broth was lacking in flavor and the dumplings were a little weak...no flavor. Also lettuce in my not my favourite vege in soup. The buns are awesome ...fresh fresh fresh.. curry beef, pork buns, and omggggg the cheesy scallion bun to die for. Tip....line up outside on the right is for the buns and BBQ meats. Line up on the left is for dining in. If you are dining in wait outside on the left part of the line or else the meat cutting gentleman yells at u to wait outside lol. And the zodiac placemats were awesome my kids loved reading about each others traits. Enjoy!

Amazing place to enjoy Chinese food. Bbq pork with wanton noodles soup is awesome. Kids love it, too. Food server Kevin is very helpful in suggesting what dish is a must for our first time.
