🇨🇦 Victoria Food Guide | Japanese + Dim Sum Spots

🍣 KAPPO MARTA | Modern Japanese Cuisine 💰 ~$30 per person ⭐ Must-tries: Assorted Katsu Set: Thick, crispy-yet-tender pork cutlet — incredibly satisfying! Saba Shioyaki Set: Salt-grilled mackerel — well-balanced and refreshing despite the fish’s natural bold flavor. Crispy Anago Panko Age Don: Deep-fried eel rice bowl — recently tried and loved it! 🍱 Side dishes change weekly — adds fun surprises! ⚠️ Tips: Street parking only. Arrive right at opening if you don’t have a reservation — it fills up fast! 🥢 DON MEE 💰 ~$35 per person ⭐ Highlights: Cart-style dim sum (until 2:30 PM)! After that, it’s regular menu only. Dim Sum Platter: 5 types of dumplings — shrimp dumplings are packed with fresh filling! 🍤 We missed dim sum hours on our first visit but loved the platter. Other dishes are consistent and reliable. 🏮 GOLDEN CITY RESTAURANT 💰 ~$35 per person ⭐ Highlights: Order-style dim sum (until ~2:30 PM). Zhaliang: Rice noodle roll wrapped around crispy fried dough — crunchy outside, soft inside — a must-try! Other dishes like chicken feet, tripe, scallop dumplings, and clams are decent but heavier in flavor. ⚠️ Overall, not as standout as Don Mee, but the Zhaliang alone is worth the visit! #FoodieFavorites #VictoriaEats #JapaneseFood #DimSum #VictoriaBC #UVic #WeekendEats #ExploreVictoria 🍣🥟🍚
