Reviews for J & J Wonton Noodle House in Victoria, BC
I don?t give a five star very often, but this place blew me away. First off for anyone else that?s Gluten Free or Celiac, the... absolute peace of mind that you can order something made in a GF kitchen and not be stressed out about problems isphenomenal. Secondly their GF menu is a second standalone which was nicely flushed out with a mixture of dishes. i?ve readother reviewers talking about the cost and yes it is a bit over average but I guess the dishes I ordered were just on the mark.all three were very large servings and good ingredients. Plus you know when you are used to gluten-free lifestyle youunfortunately get used to very high prices -so this seemed reasonable for me. Go to be honest it was my first sit down sincethe pandemic so I was pretty excited, but the whole experience was great. Didn?t wait long for a table, had excellent andattentive service, very open to answer questions and make suggestions. No awkward having to explain being gluten-free or askingabout ingredients in substitutions. It was just easy. I had a nice seat facing the street in the window for some peoplewatching. The food did not take long and filled my entire table! I guess because it?s been a long time since I?ve eaten out ,but I was shocked at how much food there was on my plate. My three dishes lasted me 3 1/2 meals. And If you haven?t read myreviews before, I eat big! OK let?s talk about the food. I did shoot a great video of it but unfortunately you can?t upload itso check out my pictures. I had a combination of standard chinese dishes and one fun dish being the tofu eggplant hot pot-which came so hot it was bubbling for a good five minutes! So you get entertainment and a meal ;). Nice balance of hot, sweetand sour, a little bit too much thin sauce for my liking and I would?ve liked some shiitake mushroom in there , but that?s apersonal choice. The other dishes were your standard Chinese fare. The first was mixed greens with prawn which had the standardChinese ta Read more
Overpriced and we are disappointed. I?ve not had chow mein that has a 1/2 inch of liquid on the bottom. We also found a black... hair. Ginger beef was over cooked. Sweet and sour was tasteless. We won?t be back Read more
Not good. Tiny portions, super expensive, bland food. Would never eat here again. The lemon chicken is basically just tiny, flat... chicken strips with a thin lemon sauce to dip in. The only thing I semi-liked was the crispy spicy chili beef which reallydidn?t have any flavour other than sugar. Super disappointing. Read more
Best Chinese food in town, and we?ve tried them all. Their ginger and onion chow mein is especially amazing, as is their spicy... ginger fried chicken - but virtually everything they offer is great. We?re always kicking ourselves when we try somewhere newand it doesn?t live up to J&J, like why didn?t we just stick to what we know is great? Read more
We ordered pick up several times since pandemic. It was our first time that we dined in there few days ago. I think they are... quite expensive since their food portion is quite small or tiny. So. Be prepared to order extra dishes if you want to fill yourstomach full. Not recommend to go again. Read more
I?m so torn in my experience, the order was filled quickly and tasted amazing. However, the portions were VERY small. None of my... containers were filled fully and two were half full. This is my first time ordering from this restaurant. To their credit when Icalled (after getting home) I was offered an addition 2 takeout containers of the half full dishes. When spending +$16 per dish,I expected more (picture a 2/3 full noodle box order). Not sure if I?ll be back when other restaurants provide quality andvalue. Again, amazing food but pricey for portions. Read more
Okay, being Celiac and likening Chinese food does not give you much options. J&J is one place you want to check out their... attention to detail and how tasty the food is crazy that it is Gluten Free. The staff is so friendly. Read more
Just ordered through Ubereats and I'm really disappointed with the portion size. I ordered the garlic prawns and snow peas... veggie dish for $18.95 and it came in a small, round aluminum container. I also ordered their wonton noodle soup with extranoodles and wontons (which was $20.95). Wontons came correctly but noodles was only one person portion. It's reallydisappointing and even factoring inflation costs, it's way too expensive for the small portion. Food is okay so far, butdefinitely portions are really small. Read more
