Spicy noodle salad with prawns is my absolute favourite meal at I Kyu.
Best place in victoria for noodles. Coconut chicken is the bomb!

My wife affectionately refers to this place as her "favourite noodle place". I believe all the noodles are homemade and they also sell them to cook with. The spicy shanghai wontons are incredible, spicy and soft with a lot of kick and excellent flavour. Dan dan mein is quite good with great seasoned meat. I must admit I have been looking for great tan tan / dan dan in Victoria to compare to some I had in Vancouver and while I haven't yet found it, I must say that I Kyu gives it a tasteful interpretation and I would order it again. The ramen is somewhat plain but they do not especially specialize in ramen. I am saddened to see that they have received a number of negative reviews critical of the flavour, I wonder if they tended to order milder dishes (which I have not tried) or if I've been lucky with menu choices, or if their palate did not mesh well with some of the seasoning choices. I find that there is a subtle pepperiness to everything which I quite enjoy, along with a hint of chili oil, reminding me of dishes from a couple Vancouver sichuan restaurants. This place is also odd, it has a relatively small menu but the dishes are definitely not cookie-cutter Chinese food. I must say that the guy who runs the place is very friendly and the one young girl who tends to be on staff as a server is very hard-working. It's a nice little place to stop in, rarely too busy, and I have been here a couple times over the span of my time in Victoria. I hope the best for htem.
