Victoria Oriental Restaurant
Victoria Street, Kamloops, BC

For a Chinese restaurant in Kamloops, this one is okay. They claim to make their own dim sum unlike others who order from the suppliers in Vancouver. I love the green leak cakes. Other favourites include the spicy green beans and won ton soup.

However, I must warn that service in the restaurant is horrible. On a busy night my family and I went in. To accommodate more conservative tastes, we ordered a dinner for four. The appetizers came quickly. After that, it was at least 30 minutes before the first dish came. That sat cold while we waited for the other dishes that are included in this meal. In the meantime, we watched several others come in to pick up their orders. An hour after ordering the fried rice came. Shortly after, the server returned to take away the fried rice because it had been cooked incorrectly. It was at that point we decided enough was enough and time to go. Very generously, I paid for what we had eaten. They packed up the rice, the cold dish and one other that was finally ready and we went home.

Despite the terrible service, I still like the food. In that case, I will never go there for a sit down meal again as it seems the take out orders get higher priority and better service.
