Park’s Kitch A Korean restaurant tucked away in a downtown alley, it has such a warm vibe—and the prices are easy on the wallet too! 😊 Back in high school, my classmates and I would hit this spot every weekend for dinner. To this day, it’s still the best Korean food I’ve ever had—their hot pots, bibimbap, and jajangmyeon are all incredible. Seriously, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! 🍲 Island Poké Their Hawaiian poke bowls were such a staple for me—I’d practically swing by to grab one after school almost every day! 🥡 They’ve got locations in both Langford and downtown, which is super convenient. You can choose between white rice or purple rice, then pile on all sorts of toppings—it’s healthy and delicious. My go-to combo? Tofu, fish roe, crab meat, salmon, pineapple, corn, and purple cabbage, drizzled with mayo and aioli. So good! Even after moving to Vancouver, I haven’t found a better poke spot. Plus, it’s only around $15 per bowl—total steal! 💰 Green Leaf This Vietnamese spot has two locations too, in downtown and Langford. My personal favorite is their pork chop rice—two huge pieces of meat that are so satisfying to dig into! 🥩 The pork has this unique, slightly sweet flavor and is grilled to perfection. Then there’s the fresh spring rolls: cool rice paper wrapped around veggies, dipped in their signature sauce—and that sauce is everything, so addictive! 👍 They’re affordable, and their pho and meatball soup are great too. #VictoriaFood #Victoria
