Love the new reno's and new management! Always lots of Asian people whenever I go. Love it! Service is top notch. More authentic Chinese food, too! Tasty!
The food last night was actually quite good. I give it a 5 star!
Bring a Chinese friend along and order off the Chinese menu!! 1000x better than the westernized food they offer to regular folks :) my favourite is the deep fried pork intestine dipped in sweet and sour sauce, or the jelly fish!
This place has turned itself around for the better. Great wor wonton soup, good combo dinners if you like western Chinese, we really like the walnut prawns and the sweet and sour pork is our favourite. The dim sum on the weekend is good, small selection but quite tasty. We like the BBQ pork steam buns and the crispy beef steak buns. This is the only place we eat Chinese food now as it's good and reasonably priced
Ordered takeout tonight with a friend. The dumplings were perfectly cooked to a golden tinge. Our chow mein was also great and not too salty like many Chinese restaurants seem to do. Even though the delivery was about a 30 minute drive, the food was hot and fresh. Would recommend this Chinese joint, and it is open late
This is probably the best Chinese Restaurant in Victoria if you know anything about Chinese food. The restaurant seems to be under new management and the food is fresh.
我們八月份在這裏吃了一次晚飯，食物是在全個維多利亞城市裏，是最正中的中國菜了，價錢合理適中，服務態度好，餸菜美味，味道不會太重，我們一行三個成年人，叫了一道四和菜，约五十多元，包例湯白飯及糖水，祇能吃下一半的餸菜，剩下的取回家仍够一人吃一餐。餐館內裝修仍新，清潔整理，可惜早上沒有早茶點心。@
The Fountain used to be awful but, now has new owners. The same people who own James Bay Fish and Chips. The food is great same as you would get at their other location except no fish and chips.
Have been to the restaurant at least four times since it reopened and food has been good every time. It can occasionally be very busy at lunch and I haven't been for dinner except to grab some take out for dinner at home
Portion sizes are very generous and I highly recommend trying them out.
Always a good spot for Dim Sun, service is fast? After 11 you may have to wait 20mins as it gets full by then. Food is excellent, fresh and traditional.
Yum. The jellyfish is pretty good here. The fried rice needs more salt.. They had renovated and it looks great inside! The ambiance is nice. Great attentive service.

Delicious and reasonably priced. I come here every now and then for a large Wor Won ton with friends for lunch, but tonight I picked up an entire feast to go. It was late, 9:45 but the Fountain is open late even on Sundays. I spoke with Theona on the phone and she was helpful and friendly. I have had beef hot pot at other places before so I asked her about it she said they have a beef flank hot pot with radish, so I tried it and the beef is amazing. So tender and perfectly spiced with that authentic spice taste. The Chinese radish is not my thing as it turns out as it is a fairly unusual vegetable but the large chunks of tasty tender beef is what this dish is all about. So good. The house special fried rice was great, with fresh shrimp and beef, chicken, pork, egg, carrot, peas, baby lima beans, green beans and more, and the portion size is very generous. The gai lan with minced garlic was tender, crisp and great. Lastly I had Assorted meats and seafood Hong Kong style chow mein, and it was perfect. It is a generous heaping of piping hot perfectly cooked baby bok choy, prawns, pork, beef, squid, chicken, carrots, and more, and delicious sauce, over crispy HK style noodles, and the sauce cooks the noodles. I would say it was amongst the best HKCM I have had. They have a plastic dome for a tray lid that keeps the dish looking perfect when packed to go which is a nice touch. I also had the plain won ton soup and the wontons were large, and tasty, the broth was also very nice, with green onions, and you get a generous amount even with a single order. Everything was delicious, a quite generous portion, and the prices are reasonable. If you are expecting a glamorous dining experience you are probably going to be disappointed because this restaurant is not glamorous. Don't expect to be coddled. This is a no-nonsense, not frilly or fancy place, but the chefs here know what they are doing and they cook a huge range of off-menu authentic dishes and they also have live crab and lobster, so you cant get any fresher. Fountain is a Victoria staple with good food, and they don't charge a huge amount. It's not the Manhattan Plaza Hotel dining room, its in the city in an old shopping center across from the projects so I expect some people are rating this place poorly based on the low-end location and no frills service alone, That would be a mistake. Oh yes and my pickup order was ready within 30 seconds of their estimate (25 minutes). I will definitely order dinner here again, as well as having my Wor Won Ton lunches.
This place is decent Chinese restaurant in Victoria, and quite a space of tables for people to eat!
Foods are delicious, and quite a big portions!
Everything quite great, except the waitress a bit slow in refilling the hot tea for us, as the restaurant not quite busy.
Other than that, the foods are amazing!
One of the Chinese restaurant seems like hong kong style ones!
Standard Chinese restaurant, you should expect good food and not good service because you won't get it here. Authentic Chinese customer service 100% 🤣
Food was good, bbq duck and the steamed ginger chicken was so fresh. Unfortunately I found hair in my favourite dish, spicy calamari and the gailan was old and chewy, tofu too salty and chicken was so chewy we didn't eat it. you get free rice and red bean dessert after which I think is decent deal considering everywhere else charges for rice
We didn't complain because as mentioned above no service plus they were so busy you're kind of forgotten once your orders are done and you're dining.. very Chinese 👍🏻
The food is very very good. Tastes fresh, is well seasoned and prepared. I thought the staff were very caring and attentive. Not sure what these other reviews are on about. Absolutely go and try it! I think you will be pleasantly surprised 😋
I have to say, personally this Chinese Restaurant is my favorite place to go in Victoria! Especially when friends come over from a place like Calgary / mainland Vancouver or even from Beijing, this is always THE BEST CHINESE RESTAURANT I take my friends to ! I love this place because they have never failed me! You can go for dim sum in the morning or go for dinner in the evening, they will always provide their customers with delicious Chinese food and excellent customer service ! All of my friends who had been there before were really appreciative with their service and high quality Chinese food!
Food is over all good ! Very little inconsistencies but it does happened hence the 4 star review.
Great for parking and bigger groups that are looking to enjoy a lot of options in the menu
Far as Victoria goes it's one of the best Chinese you can get around town.
Had a very authentic Chinese meal, some interesting items on the menu too! Tried squab for the first time and a delicious lobster/ crab dish. A bit crowd though, and needed stronger A/C
Ordered through Skip the Dishes. Prompt delivery, delicious food, large portions for great price.
For $16 comes with jumbo size beef noodles, taste a lot better than some restaurant in Vancouver, definitely will come back again!
Always enjoy coming here. We like to get there early, right at opening, they fill up fast and have lots of reservations.
