The Cozy Place: Reviews & Ratings
Possibly the only authentic Chinese restaurant in Victoria, and the only one we'll go back to. The food was wonderful: Gong Po Chicken, eggplant and pork, and a fish and tofu pot. Yet the place was empty the entire time we were there. Bizarre. Real Chinese food is so much better. Highly recommended.
Surprisingly well managed husband and wife team created a Comfy, cozy place to dine alone or with your love ones. I ordered the simple but difficult to master scramble eggs with tomato sauce. The eggs were cooked separately so the flavors and texture of each ingredients were properly celebrated. My second dish is the slow braised pork spare ribs that was cooked to perfect then it was tossed in with a tang-ee soy based black pepper sauce. Both dishes were served with generous portion and I had left over to take it to my hotel. Out of the 5 days on the island, this little place captured my heart with its simple but highly satisfying dishes. I will come back to try other dishes and to continue my conversation with the owner couple!
It is extremely hard to find a good Chinese fusion restaurant in Victoria that is not bland or cooked to meet the general palate. This restaurant could not have been more tastier. The flavors and spices were perfect, this Mom & Pap operation is run modestly and their passion translates into the rich flavorful dishes they put out. I had the eggplant, tender braised short ribs, sweet n sour boneless, chicken fried rice and garlic shrimp rolls. I can’t wait to go back and try other dishes. Feel free to ask for more spice if you’re so inclined but everything was cooked perfectly.
Tasty healthy food. They don’t use MSG but the food is flavourful and all the ingredients ate well cooked and fresh. We had the cozy place chow mien, the veggies are sweet and the portion is fulfilling for one person.
The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere as described, and the food is absolute delicious, fresh, and full of flavour with great vegan options.
This lovely husband and wife duo bring the flavour! And authenticity. They cook right in front of you and put heart into it. Every dish of our 5 was really good. I recommend getting several dishes and sharing for a variety!

Thank you for such amazing food and leftovers made our following day :)) So, if you are looking for delicious food with vegetarian options, The Cozy place is for you. We love veggie chow mein and kung pao tofu :))
