Reviews for Fan Tan Cafe in Victoria, BC
Our server was fantastic. She was the only waitress in the whole busy place and it was a lunch crowd. She probably needed... help, but did a good job. The lunches left is full, but wishing for something else. Perfectly good vegetables were coated inthick unappetizing sauce. The sauces ran into each other on the plate . The fried shrimp was more bread than shrimp. Thechicken in the fried rice had a lot of peices of just chicken fat in it ( rubbery chicken fat with no meat attached). Inlooking at the other reviews and photos, it almost seems like I ate at a different place, but that's where we ate. I wonder ifit was a new chef? We Won't go here again. But if I did, I'd try the Won Ton soup. That looked good, but I don't know how ittasted. Read more
We had lunch here and the 3 course lunch for $17 was delicious. You got a choice of about 20 dishes to choose from. I had the... chicken chow mein, spicy vegetable statay and deep fried prawns. Yummy! Read more
The food was delicious and came out within 10-15 minutes after ordering! Plenty of options on the menu and very reasonably... priced. Located in an ideal area right next to the alleyway, sitting outside was enjoyable especially for people-watching. Read more
We came as a group of 9. The staff was very accommodating and pushed tables together for us. Staff were attentive, helpful and... friendly. We shared the dinner for 6 plus one order of Shanghai noodles between 8 of us, and it was more than enough food. Thedinner for 6 easily feeds 7-8 people. The Shanghai noodles were yummy, with large pieces of chicken in it. The chow mein wasdelicious. Very fresh tasting. The wonton soup was very yummy and satisfying. The fried rice was super flavourful and afavourite of ours. Definitely recommend it. The sweet and sour pork and the beef and broccoli was very yummy. The cashew chickenwas the only dish we didn?t find very exciting or flavourful, but the young kids ate it as it was bland. I would definitelyrecommend eating here. Great food and service! Read more
Serves delicious noodle dishes and plenty of other Chinese cuisine. Plenty of indoor seating available and a few outdoor tables... as well. They offer takeout and adult beverages too. Located in the heart of Victoria's Chinatown and only feet from historicFan Tan Alley. Enjoy the sites and sounds and delicious food. Read more

I came in a few minutes early before the restaurant was actually open. I was greeted with a kind and friendly waitress. I asked... if it would be all right if I sat inside while she finished opening and she politely said yes. She also handed me the menu and Ireplied that I knew what I wanted. A medium bowl of the Wor Won Ton soup that was served to me within minutes hot and delicious.I ordered another one to bring home for my mother as we use to dine in and enjoy the Wor Won Ton. It is delicious and the bestin town. Thank you again for great customer service and a delicious bowl of Wor Won Ton Soup. Read more
