Victoria Eats | First Week Takeout Roundup 🥢

Ox King Noodles 🍜 Tried both dine-in and takeout—highly recommend their soup dumplings (so juicy!) and crispy pork burgers (similar to Tongguan-style, with an extra-crunchy shell). Their clear broth beef noodle soup is wonderfully fragrant, and you can spice it up with chili oil for an extra kick! Baan Thai Wok & Bar 🇹🇭 The GRAPRPW MOO SUP/EGG (Thai basil pork with fried egg) was a flavor bomb—juicy minced pork + runny yolk = perfection! 🌶️ Only downside? Portions are small, but the taste makes up for it. Also loved their C-GAENG PAK curry 🍛 with zucchini, bamboo shoots, and red bell peppers. YiFang Fruit Tea 🍵 Ordered their brown sugar boba milk series—Uber Eats had a buy-one-get-one deal! Sweet, creamy, and loaded with chewy pearls. 🧋 Sizzling Tandoor 🇮🇳 Their Tandoori Chicken 🍗 had the most aromatic spice blend, balanced perfectly with lemon 🍋 and cilantro. The Butter Chicken Curry 🍛 was rich and dreamy over steamed rice. Ghost Ramen 🍜 Rumored to be the island’s ramen king—and the takeout lived up to the hype! Generous portions, extra corn kernels 🌽 (a sweet surprise!), and a crispy chicken cutlet that stayed crunchy. The soft-boiled egg was chef’s kiss. Truedan 🧋 Specializes in freshly brewed tea. Their black sugar taro milk tea 💜 had so much taro paste—I finished the drink and still had half a cup left! Taro lovers, rejoice! Also loved the grapefruit lemon green tea 🍋—tangy and refreshing. Little Thai Place 🇹🇭 Spicy Eggplant 🍆 (savory minced pork + silky eggplant) and Panang Curry Chicken (creamy, coconutty goodness) were stellar—just wished for bigger servings! Chimac Korean Pub & Fried Chicken Garlic Soy Fried Chicken 🍗—crispy, juicy, and packed with umami. Unbeatable for the price! If takeout’s this good, dining in must be next-level. Laila Laila Hotpot 🔥 Tried their Chicken Pot (tender meat + melt-in-your-mouth potatoes) and Spicy Beef Hotpot (needed more salt, but the numbing spice was fun). Uber Eats orders over $40 got free bingfen (sweet jelly dessert)—so refreshing! That’s my Week 1 takeout recap! Got recommendations?
