Awesome service and delicious food in a beautiful restaurant. The food presentation is beautiful and is served promptly. I highly recommend the scallops and if available the, uni. The brussel sprouts are addictive. I will have the lamb on my next visit. For desert, the Green Tea Opera is outstanding! Don’t miss this gem in Vancouver!

We made reservations for 12 (right when they opened) and the place filled up within 30 mins. I ordered the chicken kaatsu tacos with the green avocado salsa and it was incredible. My wife ordered the tuna tataka tacos and they were also very good. The flavour was more muted than my chicken tacos, but very tasteful. The chicken was so crispy, moist and flavourful. And to top it off, the coco-verde margarita was delicious. So smooth. So flavourful. And not too sweet. Thank you MisoTaco for an incredible first time experience.

My husband and I always go out for brunch on New Years Day. This year we were very excited to try Victor. If anyone knows how to do a busy brunch it’s the crew at Victor. The food stations were very well maintained. The selections were plentiful and the service was top notch. The restaurant was beautifully appointed, the food was well laid out, we had a wonderful time. Great start to 2025. We’ll be back next year.
