Wai Heung — Restaurant in Central Saanich

I came upon the Wai Heung on a Saturday at around 1:00 pm and it was deserted. They have lunch specials which are traditional non-traditional Westernized favourites but they do have a good menu of more traditional dishes I’ve tried and liked. This time I tried a special - lean sweet and sour pork with fried rice. If you get steamed rice the special is $8.95! $10.95 if you have it with fried rice. A little on the sour scale but it’s probably the best sweet and sour on the island (which granted doesn’t say much as the Chinese food in Victoria isn’t fantastic). I thought the food was fresh and excellent. I’ll be back again. Very clean inside and the service prompt and polite. Of course I was the only on there...

Wai Heung is our go-to spot for decent, middle of the road, western Chinese food.

Never blows my mind, but also never disappoints. For out here on the Saanich Peninsula, I'm not sure what can be found that's better.

Is it that "western" Chinese food that we're all familiar with? Yes. But its a pretty good iteration of the type. The family running the place are friendly, polite and don't seem to cut corners or portion sizes on the food. We appreciate that.

Not open Mondays. No delivery. No Dine-in. Pickup only. 15 min cook-times. Its a really reliable take-out Chinese place....

I love Chinese food but my take out today left me looking for a burger. Combination A ( spring roll, beef & broccoli, breaded chicken and pork chow mien) spring roll hot but very wet, bread chicken was very doughy, chow mien was heavy soy….beef was tender and broccoli very good. As I am staying in a trailer for a few days, figured I would get my favourite: Crispy Ginger Beef…mistake! Was so tough I had to cut into little pieces just to chew. Got back to jobsite and people told me they also had a bad experience.

Moral of story: ask locals...
