Fan Tan Cafe - Victoria, British Columbia

We walked in without checking reviews. Pleasantly surprised. Large gluten free offerings for our dining partner. Fried shrimp were excellent Chop suey vegetables and chicken were fresh and flavorful Hot and sour soup was different, but we liked the flavor. Our friend highly complemented the gluten free fried ... shrimp. Service was excellent. Read more

We had lunch here and the 3 course lunch for $17 was delicious. You got a choice of about 20 dishes to choose from. I had the chicken chow mein, spicy vegetable statay and deep fried prawns. Yummy! We came back again and I had the Shrimp Wor Won ... Ton soup and it was delicious. Read more

I had ordered through Skip on Easter Monday (April 1st) I’d ordered combo B (pork fried rice, cashew chicken gai ding, S & S chicken balls and a spring roll). It was phenomenal HOWEVER I wanted to order again April 4th. I had called the restaurant for this order as I ... really want chow mein and sweet-and-sour chicken balls along with two other choices but I was told that is the one rule the restaurant has “no substitutions whatever”… I mentioned I’d pay more but nope, sorry. Having realized I wasn’t gonna get the chow mein and chicken balls that I was looking forward to I happened to go over to DoorDash and there on DoorDash was sweet-and-sour chicken balls, and chicken chow mein. Go figure?!? why the menus between the two food delivery services are so radically different I have no idea…. I Ordered box No. 5 on DoorDash which was sweet-and-sour chicken balls, and chicken chow mein which was exactly what I asked about when I called the restaurant before ordering. I don’t understand why one menu on Skip is much more elaborate and in-depth, and in a different container and much more to eat than the DoorDash skimpy little brown box. Yes, it’s cheaper but I’d rather pay the $22 than the 17 on DoorDash and have lots to eat off for the next couple days. I also ordered the vegetarian spring roll which is great. The first order through Skip I found gigantic portions and I ate off of it for two or three days - lunch and dinner - so many chicken balls with lots of wonderful tasty house rice, so many cashews in the chicken gai ding it was amazing. So that’s why I ordered today however, on the DoorDash app, they’re called boxes and I ordered box number 5 and that’s exactly what I got was a little brown box nothing like the portions served Through skip nothing other than two items. There was a lot of chicken in the chicken chow mein, but the sweet-and-sour chicken balls were quite soggy and basically you had to shred them because they’re so soggy they lost their crisp and would disintegrate. I’d also requested a side of sweet-and-sour sauce so instead of actually giving me sweet-and-sour chicken balls they just put the chicken balls in the box and I had to use the sweet-and-sour that I offered to pay extra for so I Poured it on the food. The sauce was freaking cold. I was so disappointed that I had to microwave my meal when I could already tell the chicken balls were soggy. As a matter of fact, all the good food was on the bottom of the box I had to dig through it to find it the chicken pieces for the chow mein AND the sweet-and-sour chicken balls were down there. It was just a bit of a mosh pit if you go for the menu, I paid basically the same and I got a lot more food THROUGH SKIP . If I’m judging by today I probably never would’ve ordered from them again. Hope next time is the charm. Read more

Great service. Some of the food was not awesome. Specifically, the Spicy Chicken Rolls were soggy with grease. The ginger beef was great, along with the red curry dish. The soups looked great, but we didn't try them. Maybe next time.

Always love trying new chinese places! after trying for the first time we just had to get it again the next night hehe! Everything was great especially the sweet and sour pork, beef and broccoli, and every other combo option we tried! great portion sizes, flavour, and sauciness!
