Wah Lai Yuen

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!

We came here on Christmas Eve for lunch. There was a really long line outside the restaurant and we were told that the line up was for take out and bakery. We ordered wonton noodle soup and the portion is really big. Hot soup is really good when the weather is so cold outside. The waiter also was always around to refill our tea pot. My kids love the placemats on each table that explain about Chinese zodiacs which I think was a nice touch.

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.

Great spot for authentic Hong Kong/Cantonese cuisine in Victoria. This place along with Don Mee Dim Sum are my two favorite 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.

BBQ pork is my favorite BBQ Duck is great Rice and the sauce on the it is so yummy Fried noodles with shredded duck is really terrible tho...

Wah Lai Yuen Bakery and Restaurant is my go to place whenever I feel like eating congee. In this visit I tried their Combo 4 which has egg roll, deep fried tofu, vegetable chop suey, and a large serving of mushroom chow mein. For this big size of serving, $21.95 is reasonable. I have taken out the excess enough for another meal. On the other hand, since I went here on a weekend Sat the place is so busy and people lined up in the cold as they were not allowed to wait inside.

Awesome experience! Delicious sweet and sour pork, tasty rice and good spicy soup. We’ll definitely return here

I've been coming here since I was a child but hadn't been back in about 20 years. I took my bf here for lunch and loved the wonton soup that I got. We also got pork and honey buns for dessert and they were delicious! I came another time for takeout shortly after and really appreciated how they packed my soup separately so I could enjoy it fresh together once I got home. I'll definitely be coming back!

On our trip to Victoria, we swung in here for some delicious buns. They were absolutely delicious!
