There’s so much amazing Asian cuisine in Victoria that we had to make a separate section for it!
Chinese
Don Mee Seafood House
Pretty upscale, but superior quality food. Their daily dim sum is delicious, a lot of fun, and a super value.
Hope Key
For the best, and possibly cheapest, noodle boxes in town. Just past the 7 Eleven on Douglas Street. It’s the place that has the bubble tea. Tell Brenda you’re from the hostel and she will make sure your box is overly full. It seems un-restaurant like from the outside (more like a bubble tea/take-out place), but the interior has a charming and fun ambiance with rustic brick walls with Asian décor.

J & J Wonton Noodle House
Touted as Victoria’s best Chinese food so expect a crowd on weekends.Licensed to serve alcohol.
Wah Lai Yuen
It doesn’t get much more authentic than this little Chinese eatery. Very large servings and extremely good value. Double happiness!

Japanese Food & Sushi
Azuma Sushi
Japanese people are perhaps stereotypically the most polite people in the world, and Victoria and Canada are also both famous for politeness, so.... And the sushi is fantastic.These guys just underwent a major renovation and expansion too. Check it out!
615 Yates Street. (map) 250-382-8768
Ebizo Sushi
A cosy restaurant that's licensed to serve alcohol. Great sushi and Japanese food at reasonable prices (you must try the chop chop scallop!). For those of you who are sports fans, two large-screen televisions situated at the bar play soccer, hockey, etc. (but with no sound for those of you who aren’t fans). Teresa's personal favourite. Mmmm..

Kaz Sushi
Reasonable prices and very high quality, plus it's a nice cozy location right on Store Street.

Sakura Japanese Fast Food Restauranti
This Japanese café and grocery store has fresh and yummy sushi for very reasonable prices. A favourite of the OI staff!
1213 Quadra Street. (map) 250-388-3636
Shiki Sushi
The staff here is always fantastic and it's great quality sushi for a good price. Try it out... but don't even try to say the name 10 times fast.
787 Fort Street. (map) 250-381-8622
Sushi Plus
This is one of those Japanese places that hardly even looks Japanese but the sushi is fan-freakin'-tastic! And cheap! Mmmm.
766 Yates Street. (map) 250-386-3116
Tamami Sushi
A great japanese food place in the heart of Chinatown - Check it out!
509 Fisgard Street (map) 250-382-3529
Zen Sushi Japanese Restaurant
Licensed to serve alcohol. Crazy décor, super service, and amazing food make this a place well worth visiting.
940 Fort Street. (map) 250-385-4320
Thai
Baan Thai
Highly recommended by several Ocean Islanders.
1117 Blanshard Street. (map) (directions) 250-383-0050
Little Thai Place
Delicious curry! We've recommended The Little Thai Place to a number of people and everyone has enjoyed it. Mike says: if you are a vegetarian/vegan, this is easily the best Thai Restaurant in town. Great lunch specials.
1839 Cook Street. (map) 250-382-3529
My Thai Cafe
Jen says this is the best Thai in town. Kevin says that the decor leaves something to be desired.
1020 Cook Street. (map) 250-472-7574
Siam Thai Restaurant
Licensed to serve alcohol. Delicious food, huge menu, and great prices – P.S. the soups are superb.. and you HAVE to try the hot tapioca in coconut milk dessert.. mmmmmm
512 Fort Street. (map) (directions) 250-383-9911
Sook Jai Thai
Authentic Thai food made by staff who are actually FROM Thailand. Great lunch combos—check them out!
893 Fort Street. (map) 250-383-9945
Vietnamese
Pho Hoa
Pretty good Vietnamese soup house. Not so much to offer for vegetarians, but if you like a good huge bowl of hot soup with lots of goodies in them for a good price, this is the place to go!
765 Fort Street. (map) 250-477-2356
Vietnam Village
Super cheap, authentic food and a handy pictorial menu means no language barrier!
1715 Government Street. (map)
250-995-1530
South Asian
Maharaja
If you actually catch this place when it's open (and they don't seem to follow any schedule, even their own posted hours), and if you don't mind the hit-and-miss service, they offer decent indian buffet for pretty cheap. And you can sit in there and watch really funny Indian music videos on this TV they have mounted in the wall.
637 Johnson Street. (map) 250- 388-5450
Sabri Indian Cuisine
We do sell their samosas, but they pale in comparison to the everyday buffet the restaurant boasts. With only two chicken dishes and array of vegetarian ones, this one is good for all sorts of people. It's worth the bus ride out and unless you choose to walk back to burn calories, you better wear something with an elastic waist.
3480 Tillicum Road. (map) 250-388-4655
Spice Jammer
Delicious East African Indian cuisine!
