Reviews for Golden Lion (Jacklin Rd.) in Victoria, BC
Good service, good prices, great food. I will return
Great food!! Have been dining here for 30 years.
I love Chinese, this is the best Chinese in town! I had the breaded chicken and Shanghai noodles. Not greasy, clearly fresh and... the sweet and sour sauce was thin, not gelled. Great service too. Thank you Golden Lion! Read more
There are no shortage of greasy spoon Chinese food restaurants throughout western Canada that need no mention. However this... place is NO Greasy spoon. Absolutely Awesome food and not just saying so for the purpose of being respectful. By all means TheGolden Lion is in a league of it own and the quality of their cuisine is stellar. If you live within two hours drive of thisplace and you have a craving for Chinese Food, then fasten your seat belt and hit the road, this place is a must.!!!! Read more
The rice was good. Everything else was very tasteless. We also thought the deep fried wontons would have meat in them but they... were just chips that tasted very fishy. Sweet and sour sauce was like water and also had 0 taste. My roommate actually chuckedhers in the garbage and made something at home instead . Do not recommend Read more
Mediocre/terrible food with friendly staff. The unenviable point when you stop eating even though you are still really hungry.... See photo of chicken chow mein below. The fried rice was burnt and the other two dishes were not much better. Read more
I have this 2 stars because I didn't have to cook or do dishes, the lady on the phone was super nice, and the food was fast and... hot. It was medium greasy like mall kiosk food, and fairly tasteless. I had to add soy sauce and chow me in gravy to add flavourto the wonton soup, which my daughters described as "tastes like hot water". I had eaten at the actual restaurant a few yearsago and the hotpot was great. The memory of that made me call. I should have got my hubby to drive to Wilkinson, the restaurantthere is the best I've found on the island. My tongue is not sizzling so I must assume there is no MSG...if a migraine shows upI'll know otherwise. Sad I wasted $60.00. Won't be going back and these reviews will remind me. Read more
Our go-to for take-out. Well priced and always tasty.
