    This was our first time here, and we will be back to try more. Everything we ordered was exceptional. We all agreed that the Tokyo fries were the best fries we've ever tasted and would travel oceans to taste them again! We also had the Korean Rib, Okonomiyaki, the chopped salad, and Kara Age chicken skewers. We had an event to go to and joked about missing it, to stay and keep eating. We decided we would just come back again soon!

    Kate was an amazing server, providing patient and enthusiastic service from start to finish. After the meal, I accidentally gave the wrong amount of money, and she kindly helped me get back the extra I had paid. I'm really grateful for this wonderful server! By the way, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was fantastic!

    We had an unforgettable experience at Block Kitchen Bar! Every dish was a burst of flavor, from the crispy Pork Kimchi Gyozas to the tender Saikoro Steak and smoky Korean Short Ribs. The Takoyaki was soft and savory with the perfect touch of bonito flakes, and the Asian Lettuce Wraps (Pork Belly) were crunchy and packed with flavor. Even the steamed rice was the perfect base to soak it all up. Dessert? Incredible. The Matcha Cheesecake, Matcha Ice Cream, and Creme Brulee were all beautifully presented and delicious. The ambiance is cozy and relaxed, the service is top-tier, and the plating is stunning. A must-visit in Victoria!

    The video, the food and staff are top rate. Without a question one a the better places we went too in Victoria. I would suggest adding this place to your list. We were treated amazing. Good portions and even custom made drinks at our request. Inside is very clean and a nice patio if rhetorical weather is nice. Win for sure. Easy walk from downtown, 8 minutes max. Did get busy in the evening.
