Ox King Noodles 牛魔王肉食馆 is a Chinese noodle restaurant tucked into a busy strip along View Street in Victoria. It’s the kind of spot that feels lively without being overwhelming, perfect for anyone craving a warm, deeply satisfying bowl of noodles after a blustery day in town. The interior is straightforward and clean, focused on letting the food take center stage, with a modest dining space where locals hang around for a casual meal rather than a long sit-down.

The heart of the experience here is the broth. Whether you lean toward the sour and spicy beef brisket noodle soup or the complex layers of the Sichuan-inspired Dandan Noodles, the broths have a comforting richness that speaks to slow cooking and balance — not oily or flat but rather full-bodied, with a freshness that keeps things from feeling heavy. Those who enjoy layering their meals with texture and spice will find plenty to try, from juicy pork xiao long bao to fried beef skewers that make great accompaniment.

Ox King’s menu draws heavily on Chinese regional styles, with options like Chongqing beef noodles and sauerkraut fish noodles giving a taste of authentic, bold flavors commonly missed in typical noodle shops. You’ll also find ramen variations and some heartier items like casseroles, catering to a range of appetites. Small touches such as a crispy, layered pork pancake add a pleasant contrast and show attention to local cravings for comforting street-food styles.

This place suits those who appreciate meals that warm from the inside out, whether it’s a lunch break or a casual evening with friends. It fills up steadily, especially on cooler days when you’ll likely encounter groups coming together behind steaming bowls and sharing fried chicken wings or skewers. The staff tends to be attentive without hovering, making it easy to relax and focus on the food and company.

If you’re not a spice enthusiast, asking to dial back the heat is a common and well-accommodated request here, allowing even those cautious about spice to enjoy rich flavors without overpowering their palate. The portions are generous and feel worth the price, encouraging repeat visits to explore the diverse noodle options.

Overall, Ox King Noodles offers a practical and satisfying option for noodle lovers in Victoria looking for genuine Chinese noodle varieties made with care and depth. It’s not a fancy night out but a spot where real food and straightforward hospitality meet — ideal for anyone wanting to warm up and dig into vibrant, authentic flavors in a relaxed environment.

Have been here a few times and am blown away by unique flavors each time. I don’t know how many broth flavors they have but it’s a lot. I had the Schezwan beef soup with low spice. If you’re not into spicy food, you may want to ask them to fail it back a bit. My friends are working their way through the menu and I don’t think they’ve had anything they don’t like (primarily soups and mains). If you have a cold and need to sweat the evil out, this is your place! With fall comes sweater-weather and soup season.

I tried Ox King Noodles and honestly the highlight was the broth. It tastes rich, slow-cooked, and full of depth — not oily, not watery, just really comforting from the first sip. The noodles had a great bite and the beef was tender and well-seasoned. The portion was generous and everything felt fresh and well put together. Perfect spot for a warm, satisfying meal, especially on a cold day. I’ll definitely be back to try more items on the menu!

It’s our first time dining here, and we ordered their bestseller, Ox King, and sour and spicy beef noodle soup. The broth is extremely flavorful, and the meat is so tender. The price is fair for the portion, and the place is clean. This won't be our last visit, as we will definitely come back to try different noodles.

A few days before coming here, my wife and I walked past the establishment and were taken aback by the intoxicating aroma cascading through the air. I told her, we have GOT to taste whatever that smell is. Anyways, we made an effort to return a few days later. I was really hungry, so I ordered two things. First, a delicious pork filled pastry/bread. It had layers kind of like a puff pastry or something like that and was formed into a spiralling bun kind of shape. I was offered beef or pork for the filling, I opted for pork because I knew I’d be eating beef in my soup. The pork filling was rich and delicious, and I added some chili oil which was complimentary on the table. Next came the soup, the house special. I Loved everything about this soup but the best part in my opinion was the noodles, which had a delightful springy texture typical of freshly made noodles. My suspicions were confirmed when we noticed a noodle making robot machine churn out a fresh batch behind the counter. 10 stars out of 5.

This place has the most tender, perfectly seasoned beef brisket I’ve had in a long, long time. I also got the lamb skewers which while they were tasty they were a bit dry and I feel as though the portion size could be bigger. As for the service, it was very smooth. I noticed there was only one lady in the whole restaurant, however she was able to manage fine as there was only one other group aside from me. I was greeted with a kind smile when I walked in and the wait time for the food was short. The ambiance of the place was nice, the place was clean and the plating of the food itself was good. Overall I had a positive experience at Ox King and I would definitely be returning to try their noodles.

We got the beef soup and the ox house special, they were both great. The broth was flavourful and noodles had a good chew. It's great on a cold rainy day. We will be back to try the dry noodle dishes. The space is clean and staff are friendly. The price point is good for the portion size and quality. Check this spot out!
