“ We loved it here! I cannot tell you enough how nice the owners are. We chatted with them while we waited for our takeout and it made me want to eat dinner with them every night. The food was SO good! We’ve tried lots of places in the area when we visit my dad here and this is definitely are favourite. We ordered like 12 dishes. We especially loved the minced pork dish and samosas. Their building is also gorgeous. A heritage building with brick walls. I love it here ”
“ Everything we ordered was fresh, delicious, and very well prepared. We ordered delivery, and all of the fried meats even came with the sauce on the side, so nothing was soggy. My 12 yo summed it up best... “I wasn’t even very excited for Chinese food, because it’s not usually my favourite. But everything here is banging!” ”
“ To say my friend and I like this place is an understatement... We absolutely adore this restaurant and its owners! Came in earlier in the week for dinner and we had such a great meal, we came back for lunch a few days later. The owners remembered us and our individual food preferences to a T. Such great atmosphere, hospitality, and food. Definitely recommend the real fruit boba, was a refreshing and genuine tasting drink. We can’t wait for our next trip to Victoria to say hi and grab a bite! Thank you Hope Key! ”
“ We had dinner at Hope Key restaurant for the 1st time tonight. James and Brenda (part owners, brother and sister) took great care of us in terms of service and the flexibility in preparing our meal. The dishes were absolutely delicious!! We will have to make this a regular stop for dinner during our annual trip to the Victoria. ”
“ We didn't know where to eat that evening. We ended up there and were very happy with our choice. The owners are beyond Nice. Very friendly right away. The food... tasty, copious, served steaming hot. Would totaly recommend for good Chinese food. Oh and the sauces... ;) ”
“ I’m soooo happy that visiting family in Victoria led us to this gem of a place Sure, Don Mee might be the recommended go to place for a lot of people when it comes to ordering takeout/ Chinese food in general, but I highly recommend you giving this place a try. We chatted with the owners (I believe that they are siblings, sorry for not catching your names!) and they’re just the funniest and kindest people. We all could not shut up on how good the food was during dinner Support local and you won’t regret it! (Their fried stuff was so crispy on the outside yet so juicy on the inside, what was the secret??) ”
“ The first place where I asked for not spicy food and it was actually not spicy! I love the amounts of veggies in the meals and it’s super affordable. Very tasty Chinese food ”
“ My wife and I dropped in here without realizing that it was about 15-20 minutes before closing. We were warmly greeted and shown a table and a menu. We ordered their dinner for two and a small wonton soup. Both were fantastic, with the wonton soup being a standout. After dinner we had some green tea. It was only as we were leaving that we realized we were past their normal closing time. They never rushed during our meal and were very friendly. Highly recommend this place especially because of the great service we received. ”
