halibut house

they havegreattake out chinese food! time quoted was perfect, dishes were delicious....very impressed. no msg! i would definitely order again.

this food was amazing. so far my best experience in victoria for chinese food. sweet and sour chicken balls, shrimp chow main, crispy ginger beef and spring rolls. we ordered for take out well worth every penny. thank you for agreatdinner.

delicious!. i live right by halibut house & keep coming back!greatservice, amazing food with fresh, deliciously cooked ingredients, and a comfortable atmosphere. one of my favourite restaurants on southern van. island!

great food, friendly service,greatprices. we have been going to the halibut house regularly for years, and have introduced it to friends and family. it's the best chinese food around. no msg, everything is clean, fresh, and reliably good. prices are great, as well. the owner and waitress knows her regulars by name, and is always friendly, helpful and approachable.

stillgreatplace to eat. well, have not been here for several months; mainly because i have been back east because of work.
but i am back and went here with family.. i had the beef brisket & tendon with noodle soup. loved it. the portions were great. just the right amount of meat to noodles to veggies to soup. i was stuffed after this.
to those people that wrote they didn't like this restaurant, i am wondering what you were expecting. this is agreatplace to eat. are you all just so used to americanized chinese food, that you are complaining about real chinese cooking? if you want the americanized food, go to panda express or another fast food place in a mall.

this is great. sherry and wesley are still the best.
the tastes and the flavours are still fantastic.
i will keep coming here.

fantastic. even thought the name of this place sounds like a greasy fish and chips joint, don't be fooled. as far as amy friends and i consider, this is one of the best chinese restaurants in the city.
six of us went in, and not knowing what everyone wanted specifically to order, we just met the owner and asked her what was best. we said that each of us would throw in $20 each, and if she could come up with the dishes that would taste best. we were not disappointed.
if you want a good place for supper, go here.

no complaints. went for lunch and was very excited because of all thegreatreviews. but i didn't find it amazing or anything, except the shrimp dumplings, loads of flavor. everything else we ordered bbq buns, curry dish, beef flank were just average. food was nicely presented and good service. when the lady went to close the blinds, dust was falling on my little boy, so i was swatting it away, funny :) door knob was weird with the tape all around it and parking sucks, but that is not their fault. will go back to try the dinner menu.

worth the time and $$.greatselection even for my fussy, bland palate. we took guests there and feed a table of 4 for under $75 including the tip. we left with full tummies. most other guests were asian and much more adventurous in their meal ordering than us - that has to say a lot :-) would definitely return here. our server was new, but ever so polite, friendly and helpful.

we've just discovered halibut house after years of driving past. we've had chinese there a few times now and it has always been fabulous! so fresh, bit greasy andgreatflavor. we had the halibut and chips tonight, but i think we'll stick to chinese from hh.

the ginger chicken had agreatsauce that was not overly gooey or sweet, just right. the sweet and sour pork was tender and had just the right balance of sweet and vinegar without the use of too much thickening corn starch.

the best cantonese food. after driving by this place for years, i finally went in about 10 months ago - it was agreatsurprise. shari (?) and the rest of the staff are friendly and helpful. more importantly, the food is outstanding. the place bustles on weekend evenings, so make a reservation. the decor is plain, but the room is intimate and fun. the halibut house is the best!
