Review Purple Garden Chinese Restaurant - Victoria

I haven't gone for the buffet so I can't speak to the affordability of that, but the food quality is quite good. The combo for one price is $14.95 and I found the portions to be on the larger side. The service was exactly what I needed it to be and I enjoyed my meal here. Will definitely be back. I'm curious about the buffet due to other reviews.

Overall very impressed by Purple Garden. I ordered chowmein and spring rolls through their online ordering system and found it easy to use. Their prices were the best (cheapest) I've found in Victoria which was appreciated. The chowmein had a hearty portion sized and came how I requested (only beansprouts). The flavor of the chowmein and spring rolls were good and I gobbled my meal up. In summary, great meal and I would return again when passing through Victoria.

Easy to order, fast service and pretty good food. The staff was amazing. Could have slightly larger portions. Open a bit earlier in the area, for pick-up, which was nice. Hidden away entrance, I've added pictures to find it.

If you love food the way I do, you will love the fried rice Purple Garden has to offer. Top rated fried rice has what is called "Wok-hey" or "Guo-qi" which a nutty barbecue flavor of the rice is brought out from the high heat of the wok. This skill is becoming hard to find these days, even in Vancouver. Thanks to the chef here who must care about the quality of his cooking, bravo! I usually go there and order their fried rice and fried noodles dishes. If eating from their buffet, they have the best chicken wings in town!

One of those interesting “hole-in-the-wall” type of places. Blink and you’ll miss it when driving by, but once you’re in the mall parkade - access is super easy with great covered parking options. Service was very friendly, although a bit on the slower side. My table was happy to chat and hang out though, as the servers were good about stocking us up on drinks and everything else, in between them bringing out our dishes and also handling all the delivery orders that steadily came in. I’m mostly writing this review because of their pork and prawns though. The pork was SO tender, came in big, meaty chunks, with a yummy sauce that wasn’t goopy or syrupy. It’s been a loooong time since I’ve ordered sweet and sour pork, and then NOT seen any pieces that were just empty breading doused in gelatinous sauce. The quality was really surprising for both the portions and the prices. The prawns were also huge, so fresh, and very flavourful. Perfectly cooked, and hefty portions of these were also served. Same with the vegetables. All fresh, colourful, flavourful and not under/over cooked. The value is definitely solid on their combos as well as the entrée dishes. Was really nice to not feel skimped out on, and be satisfied with every dish we tried. All-in-all, we spent about $20-25 a person, went home totally stuffed, and each had takeout boxes for leftovers too! Thanks for a great girls night out, Purple Garden!

Great and yummi food. Reasonable prices. Call ahead to see if they are open as timings don’t match with open hours posted on google.

So many family memories have been made at this restaurant. We love it. Great staff 🙏❤

We went for the all you can eat buffet on a Saturday. Food was tasty, the turnover at the buffet table was fast and everything was freshly made. Highly recommend.

Of good quality. Combo E for one and hot sour soup. Soup tasty and as expected. Fried rice really good I agree with the comment about good wok hei. Chow mein good with large pieces of actual chicken not the fake canned stuff, ginger beef not very crispy and the batter not my absolute fave but sauce good. Spring roll good. Open late night too. Strong recommendation for takeout.

Ordered via Skip The Dishes. Great fresh food! Veggies were fresh and crisp in a great savoury sauce. Chow mein was delicious. Fried foods were super crispy with no greasy residue. Sweet and savoury sauces were delicious! Thanks for a great fresh meal!

I've been eating here regularly for about 10 years. Excellent buffet. Decent prices. Lots of parking. Mens washroom is pretty clean. Friendly owner. Try the yam balls, they're really good. At least, I think that's what they're called.
