" Absolutely the best Chinese food I've had! The chicken balls are crispy and perfectly seasoned. Service is quick and the restaurant has a cozy vibe. I always enjoy my time here, and the prices are reasonable for the quality! It’s hard to find such well-executed dishes in a casual setting like this. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family loves Halibut House! We dine here at least once a month. The ginger fried beef is a must, and don't forget the vegetables – they're always so fresh! The restaurant might feel small at times, but it adds to the cozy experience. The staff are great; they remember our favorites and make us feel welcome. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've eaten here several times and it has become my go-to for takeout. The sweet and sour pork is crispy and delicious, but I wish their fried rice had a little more seasoning. The quick service keeps me coming back despite small faults. " (*Curated Review*)

" I often recommend Halibut House to my friends looking for good Chinese food in Vic. The duck and garlic pork stand out as favorites. The only thing I’d say is to expect a cozy place that can get pretty crowded. Service is usually fast, but don't be surprised if you have to wait for a table during peak hours. Definitely worth the visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" A truly delightful experience! Halibut House offers cozy dining and authentic flavors. The BBQ pork is a standout! One thing I'd note is the restaurant can get busy, so plan your visits accordingly. Every time I go, I'm greeted with smiles and the food comes out hot and fresh. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pleasantly surprised by Halibut House. The BBQ duck is simply the best I've had! It’s juicy and flavorful, just like authentic Chinese food should be. The place has a charming atmosphere with friendly staff who make you feel welcome. Only downside was the lengthy wait times during busy hours. Luckily, the food makes it worthwhile. A must-try if you're in Victoria! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful experience! Halibut House offers authentic Chinese food with generous servings. I was quite impressed with their attention to service as well. I was greeted warmly at the door and served promptly, and the garlic pork stole the show! Can’t wait to return for more – this place is a gem! " (*Curated Review*)
