  • Victoria, BC has the oldest Chinatown in Canada. It has lots of great shops and restaurants. In this video, I check out Fan Tan Alley, as well as Victoria's Chinatown and try some of its best restaurants and bubble tea places!
    I check out, Don Mee, The Bubble Tea Place, Little Yunnan Restaurant, Bao, and Shizen Japanese Restaurant.

    Great restaurant review! Also I'm pleased to say all the restaurants you visited are still open for business three years later. Had to be sure since I'm taking my always hungry wife to Victoria next month.

      That's so great to hear that they're all still in business, as unfortunately a lot of restaurants have had a difficult time! Hope you're able to enjoy some of these, and maybe find some new ones. Thank you for watching, we really appreciate it :)
