Food was ok ~ nothing to write home about. Server was very friendly ~ Didn't eat in ~ took out.. It's also quite expensive..
We tried victoria oriental for the first time ever today and we were very disappointed. The chow mein smelled and tasted burnt and also had a chemical smell and flavour (yuck) but the noodles did not look burnt so thats really weird. Some reviews mention the same thing. The chow mein is the worst I have ever tasted. Definitely will not be returning.
This is the only good spot for dim sum in Kamloops. The service is friendly and fast and the food is good. Definitely will come back again for a dim sum fix when in Kamloops.
Cute little restaurant - just popped in to pickup a Combo B for lunch. Best chow mein I've had in town for years - everything is crispy and delicious. Staff were very polite and pleasant as well. Definitely a little hidden gem downtown
Don't be turned away by the unassuming appearance of the restaurant: the dim sum is delicious and the stir-fried chow mein has "wok hei"!
Ordered combination C (spring roll, beef & broccoli, chicken fried rice, and sweet and sour chicken), and soy sauce chowmein with 2 spring rolls. The beef and broccoli plus sweet and sour chicken were a smash hit. Highly recommend, especially the sweet and sour chicken. The chicken fried rice was the only hold back were the egg used in the dish seemed "off" and overpowered the rest of the flavors more than it should of. The spring rolls were too notch and I'd highly recommend them. Each bite had a nice burst a flavor and I wanted to keep eating them. The chowmein was was great and I would order it again in a heartbeat. The portion side was plentiful and the flavor was delicious and savory. Price was great and ordering over the phone was easy. If I was in Kamloops again, this would likely be my go-to place for Chinese food.
certainly not a modern facility but the bathrooms and restaurant are clean. wide variety on the menu. parking is a bit difficult - we’re just stopping by in kamloops and aren’t familiar with the area either. massive portions which are awesome and we recommend the sesame chicken. it’s the classic style, perfect amount of sauce and crispy. veggie fried rice was great too!
It's hard to find proper Dim Sum in BC outside of Vancouver, but this place offers a large variety of good tasting options, even during these struggling Covid dining times. Especially recommend the crystal shrimp "shrimp dumpling". (Excuse the poor presentation of these photos, it's take-out due to lockdown) The inside has an elegant Chinese dining room and the staff are from China and have the generations of experience producing these foods.
The server was kind! The food is pricy. 4 dumplings for $10. Will not come back.
We love this place. Great dim sum!
GOAT
Sorry for I can t give 0 star! The foods are not fresh at all. And they have no service. BUT when I pay the bill, cashier asked for 15% tip. Normally I will tip restaurant staff for thanking their service, but nobody asked me to tip them before. It s a terrible experience which I never had.
I like the food here but they are incredibly difficult people to deal with regarding adaptability. They flat out refuse to modify anything at all. Its very frustrating. Especially for how much business my company gives them.
Its Chinese food, but it may not suit my Taiwanese taste. The service is good, and it feels authentically Chinese as soon as you enter. Parking: On the glass at the entrance of the store is written There are plenty of parking spaces behind the store
It tastes terrible! The waiter didnt even have a smile on his face, as if he owed her something.
The food was delicious! We ate it all
Best chinese food in town! Amazing service! Super friendly staff! Food is top notch! I will definitely bring my family and friends to celebrate here!
Amazing food! I visit the restaurant with my family each week to get my dim sum fix in. Always happy with the portion sizes and the staff that works there is always so lovely. I highly recommend this restaurant, best Chinese food in the interior!
You guys suck at customer service. You would not accommodate my wifes allergy to substitute portions of a menu item.
This is my go to Chinese food! Dinner for 3A
My favorite dish from this place is the Fried Beef Rice Noodles
AMAZING FOOD!! soo good, much better than moon wok, nice quiet atmosphere. More people need to find this place!
Amazing food! All the sauces are fantastic, best sweet and sour pork Ive ever had, and very friendly service! Do yourself a favor and stop by the BEST chinese food place in Kamloops
Good meal. Recommend this business. Food
Our food was delicious. The beef fried rice tasted amazing. Broccoli beef had a lot of broccoli
Best ginger beef in town. Same with the sesame chicken. Really, Everything Ive tried from VO is delicious. Sometimes we have a hard time deciding what to order. If you havent tried those two items from here, you need to!! Food
Chinese food outside the Lower Mainland doesnt get any better than this. We went for dim sum and ordered a selection of more traditional Chinese dishes with some more famillair dishes. Everything was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The cook here knows what hes doing and the service was also excellent. This place is 100% legit and I cant reccomend it highly enough.
five stars across thr board. staff showed me excellent hospitality and the food was even better. although i live in vancouver, i will always make sure to visit when i drive to kelowna.
The chicken is not too fresh, but the quantity is really large
One of the better Chinese restaurants that I have enjoyed. The food is good and the dim sum is also good. Very good portion sizes
Fantastic food, get the ginger beef
Great service, and the owner even took her time to explain the menu. As a frequent dim-sum eater, food at this establishment is fairly priced and the quality is very reasonable. A hidden gem in Kamloops for sure.
Large portions, old time Chinese Food.
Best in town in our opinion
Very good authentic food
Its Christmas day 2022 and we were very glad to see they were open. Good service, clean dining area, lots to choose from on the menu and decent prices. My combination plate was very generously portioned, fresh and delicious. My granddaughter ordered salt and pepper wings and they were fresh, well cooked and delicious as well. We ordered Chinese tea and were asked if we wanted more hot water when we had finished our first pot and enjoyed more hot, tasty tea. This is a great little restaurant and we cant wait to go back again.
A great Chinese restaurant. Other places will be overly greasy and salty. This place definately has better quality food.
The costumer service was horrible I order prawns and got shrimp and got drinks I didn t order the ginger beef was the worst I have ever had my whole life all dry and gross it seemed like it was sitting for a long time and over paid over 130 bucks for small portions I m seriously not okay with anything that I ordered I want to speak to a manager but apparently they never go to work
They say on their website and flyers free delivery within 3km I m 2.7 km from the restaurant she said if I added a spring roll they would give free delivery but that didn t occur they still charged me 4 dollars for delivery this is my first time trying them as I heard good reviews on fb I will NOT be back they re food was ok but not worth the extra almost 10 dollars they charged me I ll stick with moonwok they don t false advise
The dim sum was very authentic This family is from Richmond BC. Our favourites are the Salt-N-Pepa deep-fried squid, and the spicy garlic wontons,,, Really happy with the hot and sour soup also.
Humble fare served with a smile by Crystal.
Food size are good. Place is clean. People are nice. It is good choice when you stop by a small town. I like this place.
Hearty, tasty and generous. recommend
Amazing food! Great service
Dim Sum: the Prawn & Green Leek Pancake is to die for! Service was fast, friendly and helpful.
Super good! Fast service!
Fantastic dim sum! The BEST fried rice and ginger beef. The boneless dry garlic pork is killler. Not the usual garlic powder in the batter bs... this one is made with finely chopped onion, garlic and two kinds of pepper. So damn tasty! Always delicious food and great service. If you want good food, dont be basic and just order the combo... you wont know what youre missing!
A top choice for Chinese food in kamloops. Food was delicious, order was prepared so fast!
First time trying it and it was delicious
Best food in town and the service is always amazing. The restaurant could use some cleaning and updating, its starting to look run down.
I have visited this restaurant a few times. Dine in once. Otherwise, its been take-out. I always order the ginger beef. Its my favourite Chinese dish, and I have tried it at dozens of other restaurants across Canada. This ginger beef is the best Ive ever had. It tastes fresh. I highly recommend it.
Very great food! Massive portions and spectacular quality! The owner is an awesome chinese hostess. Highly recommended
Had a large order last night and every dish was exceptional. It also arrived very fast to our home in Aberdeen by a kind, polite fellow. Definitely will be our first choice for Chinese now.
Great
Always good!
Great . 5 star driving school ltd Edmonton
Ordered delivery, food was excellent!
Food was amazing. First time there and the older building was a worry but wow what great food. Dining and bathrooms are very clean. Could use a little paint and decor but we will definitely go back.
Our new go to. Authentic flavours and fresh
Loved everything we ordered, will be our new go to spot. :)
Best Chinese food in Kamloops
My favorite Chinese restaurant in town
Everything tasted like it was burnt.
Excellent quality with Dim sum available every day. Quantity is good.
Fast delivery, food tasted great, and the portions were on point for the dinner for 3.
Food is the best but the lady who always attend to us need more training on customer service. She is not friendly at all.
Best Chinese food in Kamloops
Great food and service
Best chinese I have ever eaten.
I am not usually a fan of adding bad reviews, but I feel like this one is needed. I unfortunately had a bad experience here, felt as though the servers were not that interested in me being there and felt the food was old and sold at a higher price. I apologize again for putting a bad review, I hope next time will be a different experience.
Being a Chinese myself, their food looks and tastes nothing like how we actually cook. It tastes not good at all If someone tells me this is what MaPo Tofu and Kung pao chicken, I would think that s a joke
Went there and they had fresh delicious food!I can t name anything I didn t like about the food.when I first saw the prices I thought it would be way to expensive but the amount of food you got for the money was great! I recommend you go there
We arrived at 8 oclock in the evening. I saw the good reviews from Chinese people and came directly without thinking. Its really good and the portion is huge. Anyone who passes by can come and try it
Food service and dining environment are not good
The food is always good but the service could use some work! Great place to order takeout from! Best Dim Sum in town!
Excellent food! I love little hole-in-the-wall treasurers like this. And the staff are so friendly.
Food is ok except their fry rice are quite greasy
One of my favourit Chinese resturants in town. Everything Ive tried here was well prepared and tasty.
Had their wonderful DIM SUM!! Their spicy garlic wontons were absolutely delicious! Do give Victoria Oriental Restaurant a try!!
No rice with meal. Delivered to hotel with no napkins or utensils to eat with.
Bet Chinese food in Kamloops. Well at least for me and my wife.
Yummy. Best won ton fresh, hot
Food was amazing as always. Service was quick. The best dumplings in town.
Far too expensive for the quality of the food and website menu prices are not accurate. Chow mein tasted like burnt soap. Wont be back.
Dont let the looks deture you, it is the best chinese food I have had in years, and priced very well Vegetarian options: Plenty of options Parking: Good
Amazing service, I mean amazing and to top it off delicious Dim Sum. Had Dim Sum various times in the lower mainland and the Dim Sum here was at the top two or three of what I had in the lower mainland. We definitely will be back again. Parking: Street parking and not pay parking.
My favourite place for what I ( A not Chinese person ) would consider the best and most authentic Chinese Food in Kamloops.
We live over three hours away and when we come to Kamloops this is our go to place every time. Our Dim Sum craving satisfied! We were there today and its always delicious, see you next time!
worse place ever , highly expensive and they were rude , dont recomend it
Best Chinese food in Kamloops for the price. Alot of flavor and massive portions. Amazing staff to top it off. Youve earned a life long customer and beyond that Ill make sure people buy from you.
We go here a couple of times a year for many years. We like the selection of Dim Sum. We order individual dishes from the Menu as well. We have always liked the food. The restaurant itself is not very fancy or updated and hasnt changed much in many years. It reminds me of many Chinese restaurants in Vancouver Chinatown. We have never ordered any dinner for one type dishes.
The tofu and bbq buns... so good
Great Food! Authentic!
Not so good for the $
Very good food, ok service. Try the dim sum or sweet n saurer pork
Good food and good service .
Best Chinese food Ive had in a long time! Absolutely AMAZING! Its not a fancy place, but If youre looking for incredibly delicious Chinese food in Kamloops, this is it!
Nice little cosy spot
Best Chinese restaurant in Kamloops!
Dined in the restaurant and had a great meal. Portions were very generous and tasty. Very reasonable price too. Best in Kamloops as far as Im concerned!
Always delicious! And great service!
Food was not great. Over priced.
Very good quality food fairly quick service as we were the only ones in the restaurant Decent prices and very large portion of food. Had to have proof of vaccination and that didnt take long
Worst services in town
The best ginger beef around. Where can you get dim sum at suppertime right here. Loved it and the service was great.
Due to the recent heavy rains in BC causing mudslides and flooding, my boyfriend and I were stranded in Kamloops... I accidentally discovered this Chinese restaurant and ordered morning tea/stir-fry/hot and sour soup, it was very delicious! So I ordered the fried rice and fried noodles set meal again in the evening. And the boss and shop assistants are very enthusiastic. Our car needed repairs, and they also provided us with help! Although I was trapped, I felt the care and warmth from my compatriots
Love the food here and when Im in Kamloops I get combo A.
Absolutely the worst Chinese food Ive EVER had in my life!!!! The chicken chow mein sweet & sour pork & beef & broccoli all tasted exactly the same with some strange dark sauce that was burnt and alien No chicken or peas in the chow mein , pork was cat I think & the beef was an old coyote they shot up in the hills DONT DO IT DONT DO IT DONT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The first impression at the entrance was shabby, dingy and cold. The food is not good and bad service. not going back...dont recommends
They serve Dim sum and have fabulous Chinese Soups and Dishes ! It s like going to Chinatown in Vancouver!
Service was horrible had to ask for utensils and water food was questionable
Love this place. Nothing fancy but the food is always excellent and has a huge variety at a great price. Reminds me of old China Town restaurants on Spadina in Toronto.
Not vancouver but the best youll find in the interior for dim sum. Good selection and give yourself a treat and order the spicy squid youll like it!
Great spot for those who aren t looking for Canadian-style Chinese food. Big menu with lots of options plus a dim sum menu. They ve even added a very decent Thai menu in recent years. Our favorite dish is the Egg White and Dried Scallop Fried Rice - it only appears on the dine-in menu but they usually will let you order it for delivery, provided they have not run out of scallops. Also the Buddha s Feast is a solid vegetarian dish.
Great food
I love the food here. Some good authentic food and dim sum similar to what I had in China. The location is dated and lacks an appealing atmosphere. What others have described as dirty I would just call dated and in need of some paint but it s never been dirty. The lady who is normally at the desk has always been nice but her English isn t great so be patient and speak clear.
Has some unusual items. Fast, hot, good quality, friendly. Willing to chat when not busy. The family is working on their English. Nice.
The best and most authentic Chinese food in Kamloops!
Awsome food. Had the large wor won ton soup. Very good but you dont get alot for what you pay for unfortunately.
December 24th 9pm I ordered Dinner for 2-A . And it is a dinner i have ordered several times within the past month. I order for the chicken balls. And sad to say this is what came tonight I called to inform management and was told to call back in couple days . I will call and hope everything gets replaced.
Only decent dim sum option in kamloops. Overall pretty good.
Very good
Eat here at least twice a month. Great food all around
I phoned 2 different occasions to order and they never answered the phone... Maybe they are out of business???
Best oriental food around and im from Vancouver. Dim sum is off the charts. Deffinitely recommended you go and eat in. The combo for one is 13.99 and is more than you could possibly want.
Love this place .... delicious.
Truly legit dim sum. By far the best in Kamloops. Do yourself a favor...
Were from Vancouver BC and honestly, you cant get any better. We love this place and come weekly. Great owners who care about their food and customers. Food is out of this world great
Food and service was great! The parking isnt super great though.
I didn t expect it to be delicious.
The portion is big and the taste is good enough
Got takeout for the first time yesterday. Sizes and prices are great, but more importantly the taste was GREAT and the food tasted very clean, which I notice a lot when I eat Chinese food. The vegetables they used were obviously fresh. I just feel bad that their location means they probably dont attract many people walking by.
Loved it. Normally I find Chinese restaurants have one item thats really good but rest a little lackluster but everything I ordered was really good. Service was very quick and very friendly staff. If youre in Kamloops and want some Chinese, I believe this restaurant to be high on the list
Best Chinese food I had in BC
The servings for combo meal for one was insane for its price. It tasted great and fresh but might not cater everyone. I really enjoyed my food and the people working there are very polite.
We stopped here for dinner while on our way to Sun Peaks after receiving recommendations from our friends. Needless to say the food was delicious. We ordered 9 dishes and none of them disappointed us!! Portions are big and the flavour is perfect. We are from Hong Kong and China and agree that this food is better than any Chinese restaurant in Vancouver.
plenty of good food!
Food is great old small building
In the past I have had good meals at Victoria oriental. But I am sorry to report that this last visit was a bust and I wont be back, ever. They had a serious plumbing problem the day prior and the place smelled really bad. It should have been closed till the smell and issue were fully taken care of.
If I could give no stars I probably would. We were recommended to try this restaurant, so in spite of the first impression at the entrance( shabby, cold, and dingy) we gave them the benefit of a doubt. The waiter took my order and proceeded to walk away before taking my husbands order. Our dinner arrived without consideration of my request of the change to my meal. Although the plate was heaping, its was par at best. Only received a fork, no condiments or a knife to cut the huge chicken balls and vegies. Waiter was a ghost after that. The room was filthy. From the ceiling to the floor. Candles and air fresheners filled the corners. (Dont look too far into the kitchen, the doorway was plenty) I think a bucket of soap and bleach water would go along way and staff that can look up from their phones would help as well. Sorry to say....not going back...dont recommend...
Amazing as always!! We tried a couple of different (to us) dishes tonight and they were far superior to what we had anticipated!! Spectacular food and the staff are so kind and properly attentive.
Their general tso is one of the best Ive tasted. Would definitely go back. Rating 4 stars because the place needs more cleaning. But other than that, great food!
Good food with horrible parking & interior.
Delicious Chinese food! Huge choices of dim sums. Available for taking out.
Good quality Chinese food.
Very tasty
Great Chinese.
I tried calling to place an order for delivery, Ive called 3 times with no answer. Frustrating! I will order from somewhere else
Great food.
Good authentic dim sum
Worst place ever tried it cause a Ive never eaten there before but when I ordered from there they messed up my order and refused to deliver proper food that was ordered told me I had to drive there to pick it up or return my food for a refund if I wanted it fixed. WORST SERVICE I HAVE HAD FROM CHINESE FOOD PLACES IN TOWN BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Awesome sweet and sour pork
Good food, large portions, never disappointed. We came across this restaurant by chance a few years ago driving through Kamloops. We now make a point of stopping here for a meal every time we pass through .
stunning
Just happened across this place as we were driving through Kamloops heading south. It was a happy find and we will return again next time we are in town. The made in house dim sum was excellent and generous in size. Good flavour and texture. The crispy house special chow mein was lovely as well, subtle flavours in the sauce. The wonton was scented just with a touch of sesame, soup base was delicious and the wonton themselves were very nicely made!
Amazing, beat Chinese food in town
Great food.
Authentic food ! great taste
Good service and good food. Really enjoyed the lettuce wrap and Wor want on soup.
As a first time customer, I second guessed my restaurant choice when I saw the state of the dining area...take away became the order of the day. After unwrapping my order (combo dinner and 3 x orders of dim sum) at home, saw the portions were good and flavour was decent. They would have gotten 4 stars had I never set foot inside the actual establishment...wouldnt recommend dining in or taking a first date to.
Best Chinese food in Kamloops!
Great Catonese restaurant, although the place is small, quiet at night
Ok Chinese restaurant for this area.
Food is amazing but one advice tip lol
This place is garbage. First off, the waitress there is very rude. She gets annoyed if we ask any questions about the menu; simply put, the customer service is egregious. Lets talk about the food. Or rather, lets not. This thing that they call food, could be mistaken for rats feces, is the driest thing on Earth. Its so dry that it could be mistaken for deserts in the Middle East. Everything about this place is trash. I highly recommend getting trauma counselling if you have the unfortunate experience of dining there. RIP my taste buds.
People are friendly, however, for Europeans, the food is enormously greasy.
Very good tastes. The dim sum was delicious, the portions were large, and I even had stir-fried water spinach, which was so touching.
Amazing food here
Just had dinner here with the family while passing through Kamloops. Best wonton we have had in a long time. Portions were massive and prices were very reasonable. Would go here again anytime I am in the area.
Amazing Asian Resturant, try it. You will love it.
Fantastic food! Ill be back thats for sure.
The Chinese food here is consistently amazing, best in Kamloops. It is my go to Chinese spot!
Old owner(we nicknamed her Dragon Lady) many complaints about her customer service - has been gone for months which lightens the mood. Her disturbing loud conversations out of the kitchen are long gone as well. The service is now pleasant and the chinese food is best in Kamloops to our family. Its not a spotless clean NOR recently updated place or it would get a 5. I have been to very few chinese restaurants that have spotless bathrooms etc. I would rate cleanliness slightly above chinese restaurant average- which would be poor compared to a major restaurant chain. Go there for the food.
Very delicious, suitable for Chinese and locals, reasonably priced and generous portions
Good people great food
