What Elli Schwarz likes about James Bay Fish & Chips:

James Bay Fish and Chips is a hidden gem in James Bay, offering a great range of delicious Chinese food at affordable prices. While some reviews mentioned disappointing experiences with the fish and chips, it is clear that the Chinese menu is where this restaurant truly shines. The Ginger Beef and Chop Suey were particularly highlighted as standout dishes, with the Ginger Beef being described as the best ever tasted. The restaurant is small, with quick and efficient service, and the owner is praised for her positive attitude. Overall, James Bay Fish and Chips is recommended for those looking for a great Chinese dining experience in Victoria.

The food itself was dry, but what really shocked me was that there was an actual staple, from a stapler, in the chow mein. I highly recommend elsewhere!

Absolutely delicious. We had the dinner for one. Enough for both of us and enough leftovers for one lunch. Excellent taste and value!
