Victoria’s Best Vietnamese Spot | My Go-To Comfort Food!
Restaurant #7/100 in my Vancouver Island food quest! A few years ago, I tried this place and never forgot their lemongrass chicken—it’s legit the best I’ve had in Canada (yes, I’m ranking it!). Now that I’m back on the island, I had to revisit. 🔥 Why It’s Unbeatable Lemongrass Chicken: Juicy, smoky, and aromatic—I could smell it from the parking lot! (Charcoal-grilled? Magic? Who knows.) Pho Special: Clear but rich broth (no murky weirdness here)—sip-worthy to the last drop. Fried Banana + Ice Cream: Standard but satisfying (though skip the maraschino cherry 😅). 🍽️ What We Ordered 1️⃣ Lemongrass Chicken Rice 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The star—tender, flavorful, and unlike any other. 2️⃣ Original Pho Special 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Clean broth, tender beef—no MSG sludge! 3️⃣ Fried Banana Dessert 🌟🌟🌟 Classic sweet crunch (but go for Vietnamese coffee next time). 💡 Pro Tips Arrive early—it’s packed by 11:45 AM! Join their rewards program (points = free meals!). Perfect for: “I dunno what to eat” days (it’s 10 mins from my house—dangerous!). 📍 Original Pho Eatery 2972 Jacklin Rd #106, Victoria Rating: 8.5/10 (No flaws… but I never give 10s! 😆) #VictoriaEats #PhoLover #ComfortFood #VancouverIslandFoodie
