Good Fortune in Southampton

Family owned, wholesome restaurant for student budget. Have read reviews abt bossman being unfriendly but the whole road of restaurants have the same vibe tbh, could genuinely just be a cultural thing? Solid food (haven’t tried a massive range so appreciate the mixed reviews), BIG portions and he treats his regulars well. My go to is the set meal for one or the Singapore fried noodles and rice- always slaps Was even kind enough to let us do an impromptu friend’s bday dinner there and closed the restaurant a bit later for us. Gives takeaway boxes if needed, always goes the extra mile through acts of service, so even if u think he hates you through interaction, he doesn’t!! Give the food a go, it’s a solid Chinese 💪 CASH IS KING TAKE CASH (support small businesses but it is cash only lolz!!)

After a second visit I can't speak highly enough of the food quality and value for money at this place. Last visit we had King Prawn Kung Po / Egg Fried Rice / Chicken Chow Mein / Chicken Szechuen. Rice and a crispy wing / spring roll is free per main, canned drinks £1.50. Basically £10 pp for fresh authentic Chinese. The Kung Po sauce is quite honestly the best I've tasted any where. Last visit I had sliced char su pork on bean sprouts, which was also very good.

Their stir-fried dishes are very good. I like to order the 9-pound double dish. The portions are large and delicious, although the environment looks average. Recommended

Honestly I always come here for the food as me and the Mrs love it. But I honestly dread it simply because the guy on the counter with glasses is so rude. There's no greeting, the guy literally will not give you a smile. You literally walk to a moody face it's like he's not even happy working there. Alot of these comments ok here are mainly about him aswell so clearly there's something wrong. Foods lovley tho

Great taste, generous portions, and reasonable prices, I recommend the 麻辣燙👍🏻

Ordered 6 dishes and only one of them was good. The rest was bland, untasty or just cooked wrongly. The cabbage with garlic sauce was burnt and looked more like a coal than a dish. A couple things unavailable and wasn't mentioned anywhere on the menu or when I was ordering. Yeah, it is cheap food however the food is one of the lowest quality which I ever had in any Chinese restaurant. The restaurant also looks pretty bad inside.

It tastes good, the portion is big, and the price is reasonable. It is now the only one I will visit among the many Chinese restaurants on this street.

{腐竹牛腩 Tofu Skin served with beef - £6.50} Appearance 3.5/5 - Normal dish. (Suggestion: Use a better container) Taste 3.5/5 - Slightly salty, even though I requested them not to add any additional salt Texture 4.5/5 - The beef was soft, and there was dark fungus which enhance the texture of the dish. Pak Choi was also chewy, which had a contrast with the beef. Size of the dish - Small Service 0/5 - When I asked what are the recommenf dishes, they just threw me the menu and made a face. No smile, looked at me as if I owned them money. Didn't answer most of my question, dreadful. Surprisingly, they provided me a cup of water. Didn't accept credit card. After I vomited in their toilet, they threatened to call the police, and shouted at me. They even said they will beat me up if I didn't go out of their shop. Environment 3/5 - Dark Temperature - Hot Others - / Comment - Not recommended for their poor service. DO NOT DINE IN/EAT IN THIS SHOP. FOOD MAY BE POISONOUS Overall - 3/5 24/12/2020 Terence the Food Judge

The food is always really well cooked and good. Large portions for the price. But.... The service is always so unfriendly and almost aggressive, it's laughable and adds to the experience in a comical way.

A standard Chinese restaurant that serves Chinese food at a cheap price (£7.50-£8 for most dishes including free flow of rice). One of my go to restaurants during lunch while studying at the university of southampton. The restaurant also gives a chicken wing per person. It is cash only. Some dishes: 咖喱炸鸡腿 （fried chicken in curry sauce) 鱼香双龙茄子 （aubergine and minced meat served in a fish sauce) 三文鱼豆腐（salmon fish served with tofu) 番茄土豆牛腩（beef brisket served with tomato and potato)

Great range of tasty food, the steamed fish was amazing. Will be coming again!

Worst restaurant ever. Of the three dishes one was cooked wrong, another the chicken was like swill from a can and the last one had no flavor whatsoever. Not even dogs eat it. The dogs won't eat it. The worst restaurant I have ever eaten at. One of the three dishes was cooked wrong, another chicken looked like swill soaked in a can, and the last one had no taste at all.

I ate bad chicken and got diarrhea.

the food was very dry, you could barely chew it, the coating was hard, the service was not nice, the countertops were sticky, the toilet had no light, you could write like that and it's just a tragedy and avoid it with a wide berth

Good quality fast-food. Affordable price. Fast service, cash only

Terrible food ,microwaved rubbish rice tasted and smelt damp . The owner rude and dismissive

Very quick service and a lovely take away meal

I had my lunch there several times. Taste is ok but too much salt every time. The price is very affordable only £6.5.

Amazing and tasty food every time. One portion of each is enough food for 2 people to share: 1. Prawn dumpling 2. Singapore fried rice 3. Fried spare ribs with chilli and salt I’m always going back to order. The price is very reasonable too.

Ordered first time and can highly recommend 😋 very tasty 😊

Tasty food but only got one chopstick.. had to stab the chicken balls lol

Just had our Wednesday treat meal from Good Fortune. We all enjoyed our various dishes and there's plenty left for tomorrow. Unlike other Chinese places, mine didn't feel like it was swimming in fat and salt. Also good that dishes were marked 'suitable for vegetarians' as Chinese places don't usually distinguish. I remember seeing crab classed as a vegetable in another place. My only complaint - predicted delivery time was 1920, and the food arrived 40 minutes early! Cheers.

Amazing flavours and quality! I'm sad that I've only just found this place, but I'll definitely be ordering from here again the next time I want Chinese. It was all a good price too.
