Jade Fountain Restaurant, nestled within the confines of a hotel on Douglas St in Victoria, BC, boasts a reputation for serving some of the finest dim sum in the area. Many patrons, like Kael, delight in the plump har gow, generously stuffed with succulent shrimp, while the fresh shoo mai has garnered appreciation for its quality and taste. The dim sum experience at this cozy eatery often feels like a well-kept secret, as Jason Goodman notes, “like a Chinese speakeasy,” where excellent service shines even amidst bustling crowds. Regulars such as Victoria Pruden praise the consistency of the restaurant’s fare, with multiple dishes offered at remarkably reasonable prices, often under $30 per person for a fulfilling meal. This affordable indulgence, coupled with the ease of access via an elevator for those with mobility concerns, makes Jade Fountain a beloved choice for families. Reviewers like Ugyen Choden highlight the swift service and the diverse menu, which, though not overly expansive, presents solid options for dim sum enthusiasts. Whether dining solo or with friends, bring your appetite, and perhaps a plan for a post-meal nap, as the flavors at Jade Fountain are as satisfying as they are rich. Overall, each visit promises a delightful culinary journey steeped in tradition and taste.

‘Tis difficult dim sum’ing solo because there’s only so much room in my stomach, but now I have leftovers. Their har gaw is the best because of all the shrimp stuffed in it. Appreciated how they made shoo mai fresh for me and put up with my Chin-glish.

Delicious dim sum with amazing variety hidden away in the basement of a hotel like a some sort of Chinese speakeasy ! Service was excellent despite the place being absolutely packed. Hot dishes delivered quickly and with a smile. Much better than other dim sum we’ve had in the Victoria area and the price for a 3 person FEAST was 68. Can’t wait to go back !

We have been coming here for years, always for Dim Sum. It is consistently good, today was no exception. We had great service, excellent fresh food, and cost us 25 each for three of us to enjoy several different dishes. Easier for us to come here than Don Mee (which is also wonderful) because some family members have mobility issues and Jade Fountain has an elevator. We will be back for more dim sum soon!

It’s a great place for Chinese food in Victoria, the menu is pretty decent not very exclusive but good choice of dimsum too. Service was quick and reasonable price as well.

Very good flavours. Bring friends and make sure you have some time to nap after your meal. Best hours are around 11:15-12:15. After that, you get leftovers.

This place gets a lot of stick for some weird reason. But I assure you, my experience there was amazing. I attended with a group of 3 friends and we were treated spectacularly and the food was exquisite. Our group consisted of one black person and 2 Indians and there was no passive aggressive behavior or signs of ignorance shown towards us.
