Although most reviewers praise the food, a recurring minority report disappointing meals. Complaints include bland seasoning, unexpectedly mild spicy dishes, greasy fried rice and occasional overcooked or dry preparations.

Value Depends on the Order
Many customers consider Victoria Oriental good value because of its generous servings and substantial combination meals. Others feel individual dishes, dim sum selections or additional charges can be expensive. Overall, satisfaction with pricing appears closely connected to portion size, food quality and the particular dishes ordered.
