Uchida Eatery

This small and cozy restaurant is a hidden gem in Victoria. Uchida Eatery is a quaint Japanese restaurant that has been serving handcrafted food with care since 2012. Not only does Uchida Eatery serve wonderfully delicious food, it also strives to source their produce, fish and meat from nearby farms. Some of this fresh produce is sourced daily from Uminami Farm, which is located southwest in Metchosin.

Currently Uchida Eatery is accepting online orders and pickup from their downtown location, which is just across from the Bug Zoo. My favourite dish is their Negitoro Don, which is served with amazingly fresh chopped albacore tuna belly. I also love ordering Uchida’s onsen egg and mixing it in with my don, along with their JagaSilk Kombucha; also, one of my favourite Kombucha brands.

This splendid food gem of Victoria serves daily specials along with their popular daily menu items which often sell out fast! Make your way down to Uchida Eatery to be served some of the best Japanese food in town! You won’t be disappointed! Order online now, before your favourites sell out.
