Good fast service, great food and priced well. The shrimp and cream spring rolls are amazing!!!
This place doesn't go overboard on the atmosphere, but it's perfectly pleasant and, more importantly, you won't find better noodles anywhere in Victoria. The kitchen is glassed in so you can watch the chefs spinning out noodles. Lunch specials -- which feature different fresh seafood every day -- are good and cheap, so expect a line of locals at the door. If you miss the specials, noodle soups,... more
Start with chef Joseph Wong’s modern Hong Kong flourish of sweet custard and fruit egg rolls ($1.50). Iconic, fresh-made noodles ($8.95-13.95) and wontons ($6.95) are a solid bet, but daily specials showcase wild salmon ($17.95) or Sichuan-style rack of lamb affirming that J&J’s second-tier menu is serious ($19.95). The kitchen here is glassed-in, so that you can watch the chefs spinning out... more
all the specials on the board are excellent,clean and friendly.
"""We're fortunate in Victoria to have a restaurant where the owner is true to the ethnic flavours, not some greasy Westernized version. It is difficult to come here as a single person as there is not an option of ordering a prix fixe so it can get pricey."""
"""Consistently fabulous. WIthout a doubt the best Chinese food in Victoria. What J&J's doesn't have in decor they absolutely make up for in fantastic food and great service. Standout dishes include Sesame Chicken, Lemon Chicken, Crispy Ginger Beef and a not"""
This place strike a chord where it matters most; on the plate and in the wallet. I tried this gem on a whim and I don't regret it. Fresh Chinese the way it was meant to be; fresh hot and reminiscent of some other cuisine, but still Chinese!
I LOVE this place. The honey sesame chicken is my "desert island" food.
One of the best Chinese restaurants in BC - love the spicy green beans and pretty much whatever else they serve. Doesn't look like much but the noodles are delicious.
Most consistent and accessible chinese food in Victoria. A local favorite.
Amazing! The best eggplant dish anywhere! Ask for their specials, they'll bring you what's not on the menu and it's soo good.
This place is all about value, not high quality food or ambiance. I've been here several times for lunch, and always leave satisfied knowing I've enjoyed decent sit-down lunch with hot tea for under $10. Service is always great too.
Their focus is on serving you great food and doing so quickly. The dishes are very tasty and I have several favourites. The honey sesame fried chicken and the spicy beef noodle soup are amazing. A meal for two depends on how many things you want to try and take home.J & J is open for lunch and dinner with a break between. Arrive as close to when the kitchen opens as your plans allow as there is... more
From the ratings, we expected a lot and we were very disappointed. I can't even compare it to an average Chinese restaurant in Seattle. The noodles were bland and the Spicy Ginger Chicken was neither Spicy nor the chicken tasted fresh. I think this place tended more to the non-asian pallette as we were the only Asians in the establishment. If this is the best Victoria can do, then you're in... more
This place will always be one of my favorites; the food is excellent and fresh, and you can see into the kitchen through the glass, all the noodles are made in house, it's really cool!
Overall, this is one of the finest Chinese establishments in Victoria. The food arrives unbelievably quickly after you order - really, you will not believe it at first, you will think it is a mistake. It is obviously made with great skill and care and you can even watch the cooks if you're in the right place - lots of flames back there! Very clean and casual - come as you are. Staff are very... more
reasonable chinese food, good services, over rated for the price
Wondeful Chinese cuisine served quickly by friendly staff. Not the nicest building but if you like Chinese food it's not to be missed.
The noodles are made fresh on the premises and a glass wall lets you watch the chefs work their magic. This authentic noodle house offers daily lunch specials incorporating different fresh seafood each day. Also delicious are the spicy ginger fried chicken and the imperial prawn with spicy garlic wine sauce. Lunch lines are often out the door at this hidden gem, thanks to the tasty fare and... more
