The date

The pitch: a tiny, no-frills family room on Fisgard doing Yunnan-province cooking, meaning rice noodles, mushrooms and soul-warming soups from a corner of China most people haven't explored. The handmade dumplings punch well above their price tag and the rich beef noodle bowls are the kind you think about on the drive home. Order the dumplings first, share a soup. Closed Mondays, so check.

How to do it

Order the handmade dumplings first, then a rich beef noodle soup to split, Yunnan's the underrated southwest province your date has probably never tried, so this whole stop quietly makes you the interesting one. It's no-frills, family-run and easy on the bill, so budget a relaxed 75 minutes. Closed Mondays, so check the day; otherwise you're in Victoria's Chinatown afterward, a few steps from a pastry or a wander up Fisgard.
