What Judy Purdy likes about Wah Lai Yuen Restaurant:
We always go to this place when in Victoria, they've had new owners recently and the place has changed, it's cleaner but the food is still the same. Its quite a busy place but we always get served quickly. The food is very tasty and the pricing is priced so you get more than what you pay for. We usually have a 3 item combo each and it's always tasting fresh and delicious...we highly recommend this place if you are ok... View all feedback. What Tanya Fisher doesn't like about Wah Lai Yuen Restaurant:
Seriously, don't visit this place. Much too expensive for what you get and totally tasteless. Hubby's sweet sour pork with rice came from the can (or at least that's how it tasted) and my Shanghai noodles were just tons thicker... Noodles with a little spicy sauce and you dig for shredded pork. Seriously not impressed. And throughout the time, the employees cried together. Spend your money elsewhere. View all feedback.

Excellent service and the best Combination Dinner I have ever had. The sweet n sour pork was wonderful! Price was very reasonable too!

The Chinese restaurant in Victoria received mixed reviews from customers, with some expressing disappointment in the quality of the food and service. One customer complained about receiving burnt and tough chunks of pork and being disrespected by the manager. Others mentioned average tasting dishes and substitutions being made without prior notice. On the positive side, customers praised the tasty and authentic food, especially dishes like beef chow fun and crispy pork belly. The restaurant was noted for being busy but still serving quickly, with generous portions for the price. Overall, opinions were split regarding the experience at this restaurant, with some recommending it for the food quality and value, while others shared negative experiences with the service and food preparation.
