| "Fast with great flavour" |
|

by Melinda (from Sidney, BC)
August 2008 - A friend & I were downtown and decided to have a late lunch, but did not have alot of time. We managed to find a metered parking spot right in front of this tiny place at 626 Fisgard near China town. It is a small narrow restaurant with a few tables for eating inside. They had a couple of bistro tables & chairs outside which we chose to eat at and enjoy the sunshine. It proved to be very popular creating a short line up at the counter where you order. They were licensed and had a nice selection of bottled beers from a local brewery which were also on special for $4. We both had the spicy peanut noodle box with chicken. ($8.) They ask you how hot you would like it as well. We both ordered medium. The grill & wok are right behind the counter and you can watch them quickly cook your meal. In approximately five minutes it was ready and served very hot in a cardboard box with the metal handles. I ate what I could and took home the leftovers. I found the combination of chicken, peanuts, coconut, cilantro and lime with just right amount of spice was perfect. The portions were very generous. I also noted how enviromentally friendly they were with separate receptacles for the customers to recycle their garbage. The staff were very relaxed and friendly. Good fast food at a great price.

| "Spicy" |

March 2008 - We were hanging out with some new locals who suggested we try this spot they had recently discovered, the Noodle Box. We visited the Fisgard street location and one's first impression is of a funky and trendy diner with the lime green walls and the electronic beats from the stereo system. You order at the counter and there are a few tables inside and your food is served in a convenient easy to carry box. I ordered the chicken dish and went with the mild sauce while my companions all went with medium sauce. While we were waiting, we were treated to the chef flipping the sauce bottle like a barman would flip his liquor bottle as he was preparing the meals. We would deduce something from this later. The food is prepared quickly and we sat down inside to enjoy our meal. I was a bit disappointed as there was not too much chicken in my dish and it started getting spicier after each mouthful. After a few sips of water, I was on my way again but all four of us thought our meals were a bit too spicy and then after trying each others meal realized there was no difference between mild and medium, it was plain spicy. We deduced the chef was quite enjoying putting on his 'flaring show' and perhaps the meals were a bit spicier than usual. I don't think I will go back but I will tell friends and family to give it a try as it is a great idea and reasonably priced at an average of about $10 per meal.

| "So good..." |

January 2008 - Oh Noodle Box, how I love thee. This is probably one of the best restaurants in Victoria if you're looking for a not-too-expensive and tasty meal. I've been to the Fisgard location many times, and have yet to find fault with anything they do. The atmosphere is great, the service is good, and the food is simply delicious. I once ordered my meal 'hot' and it delivered too much heat -- 'medium' is about right if you like spicy without the burn.

| "Giant Bowls of Burning Goodness" |
|

by Thomas (from Victoria)
January 2008 - I recently moved to Victoria and as a result have been on a week long binge of eating out at all the new restaurants. The Noodle Box on Fisgard has most certainly stuck out in my mind as one of the best I have tried. It's a cool little place that probably couldn't seat much more than 20 people, but boy are they busy. Maybe a little too busy as it took a very long time for us to get our orders. The wait was worth it though as the giant bowls of food were very very tasty.
As a warning, I started off with the medium spicy and it was borderline dangerous for my taste buds. If your not big on hot'n spicy food be weary of anything hotter.
