The Victory in Southampton

Took over 2 hours to be delivered. When I phoned after waiting 1 hour and 45 minutes I was told it was ready but they were waiting for a driver to collect it. Further 25 minutes until it arrived, on arrival it wasn't very warm. Very disappointed as usually it's really good.

Superb food every time, always really quick to deliver too! My new favourite Chinese takeaway!

I think the management must have changed . I have just spent 20 pounds on a delivery only to receive a special fried with prawns mixed with a beef chop suey in the same container . I am severely allergic to shell fish . When I tried to explain this to the manager . He sent a chicken curry and expected me to pay for it . Very concerned that they are cross contaminating foods . Will Never ever order again from here .

Usually like this place tho the green thi curry is not green ! Today I ordered beef this green curry it was brown smelt like urine Couldn't eat it did eat a small bit of rice and chow mein in black bean sauce two hours later I'm throwing it up

Used to walk round here with my dad when I was a nipper(I'm 52 now).had two recently and both were 10/10 and the best I've had for decades. Beef with green peppers and blackbean sauce especially good.chow mein and rice both excellent with the extra spice add on.really good price for an excellent meal. Gary Lewis.

Ordered a Chinese from this place for the first time I got crispy shredded chicken in honey sauce and egg fried rice the egg fried rice was very nice but the “honey” sauce was literally just sugary oil it wasn’t even the colour of honey I know you expect this when getting a takeaway Chinese but I didn’t expect it to be just oil and also I did find a hair in my food and that totally put me off

Order a Thai red curry, called up to say how it didn’t taste Thai at all no resemblance in flavour to a Thai curry. Peas and carrots and mushrooms with a sweet sauce. Not aromatic no red chillies no garlic. Actually called up to give my feedback and no notice was taken I was just told I was wrong. Should have gathered as it was ordered and ready within 4mins or so.

Best Chinese take away in the area the staff are very friendly and polite never had any issues food always arrived very hot and very tasty I have been using this Chinese for a very long period/i have tried other take aways but this one for sure it’s the best one Thank you again for the lovely food xoxo

Just moved here had one meal here once before which was OK. But yesterday was awful could tell straight away rice looked burnt. The chilli beef was really chewy and pale looking. The starters didn't look much better either the spare ribs looked like road kill. Woke up with a stomach ache...I m done if that's the best they can do! Been told there's as nice take away in Netley so will try that one next time. How do these places think their survive a cost of living crisis pumping out such poor quality food. They need to up their game not cut more & more coners pricey too. Never again

This my local Chinese and been getting takeaways from here for years. All the dishes must be reheated these days as last few times delivery seems to be too quick. I was quoted a delivery time of 60-70 minutes. Turned up in 20. Food is ok but feel like it’s time to try somewhere different next time

We didn’t enjoy the food at all, not good value for money , overpriced and poor quality food. I wouldn’t recommend this place

It’s my most local, so I eat here every couple of months. I take it for granted, but my missus just said it’s the best Chinese she’s had in years. And honestly I can’t remember a better one other than in China town in London.

Have been getting deliveries for a few years, think ownership changed in the last 12 months. Spring Rolls are always good and prawn crackers. So 1/2 duck greasy and too much fat. Salty chicken & salty squid were not like the meat I expected and taste really poor so not seasoned right. Pineapple fritter was just a goo and ribs overcooked so all crispy with no meat. Will now not order from them especially as all is costly now, no free dish and no free delivery and last order took 2 hours!

Victory food is good, but they are always closed lately😤

Amazing food such a fantastic Chinese I wouldn't go anywhere else saying that I don't been ordering from here for the last 22 years now A wonderful family run takeaway with great service

First time in the victory . Was recommended by a friend and i have to say absolutely top nana 🍌, has to be the best Chinese fast food ive ever had .it really is that good although i found the sweet n sour sauce a little sharp but thats just my tastes. It did not distract what a quality product they offer. Its certainly not the cheapest Chinese around but definitely the tastiest ive come across.give it a go you wont be disappointed 👌 have now been back there twice more , still top food , still 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ordered £20 of food at 16.45 cheerful man delivered to my door at 17.05. Very impressive delivery time and food was hot and tasty. Well done the victory

Had to wait along time couldn't get through on the phone and when we finally got our food our chicken chow mein was very burnt and unedible portions quite small aswell

Quite simply the most delicious Chinese I've ever had, consistently good. The shop is immaculate and the owner very friendly. Highly recommended.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Incredibly expensive, 2 adults shared a starter and a main and was £30. First time we've ever not been sent prawn crackers either which was disappointing. Won't be going back.

Absolutely disgusting beef inedible in both dishes beyond belief that I was refused a refund i couldn't even chew through it was riddled with hard fat needs reporting as this is very worrying.

I ordered, it arrived within the time specified, the food had no flavour and I called and spoke to them and was told if you want flavour you have to ask for it 🤣🤣🤣 😡😡 cost me 28.00. I have had good meal from there in the past. Sorry lost my custom now

Not nice the sweet and sour sauce was odd , it was not sweet and sour at all , they do give you alot of food in the container but nothing taste like it should , so chicken chow mein had a fish taste going on chips were ok and the chicken balls ok as well . We will not be going back for sure

We’ve had this takeaway every now and then for about 4 years and never had a bad experience. Their veggie options are delicious (especially the bean curd) and the dishes are very filling and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

Honestly I used to go to the golden leaf but since I tried this one it Honestly the only one I would used as their food is the best i have had a lot of meals from here but I have also had the curry and it is actually hot and you can still ask for it to be hotter they also brown the rice which shouldn't even have to be asked for also the staff are friendly and polite if your order is wrong they will sort it and not just leave it as I found with some places again this is a place that I would give ten stars too if I could but google have told me I'm not allowed too

Rubbish meal delivered after nearly 2 hours! Then that was only because we rang them to ask where our meal was! Shame as we’d had a lovely meal delivered, promptly a couple of weeks previously. This time it had obviously been kept hot for sometime, everything was dried up and chewy. The sweet and sour sauce so vinegary we couldn’t eat it! Won’t be going there again!

Used to be the best. Now too unreliable. I ordered over £30 worth of food and got chaw mein and chips. Called the restaurant and they asked if me and my 6yo could walk in the storm 3 miles to collect as the driver left the rest and their busy. Then said call uber eats for refund. Couldn't find any way in doin this. Paid over £30 for £7 worth food. Me and my child went hungry. Thanks victory!

Ordered from here 31/8/2022 Absolutely tastless. chicken was frozen, chicken chow mein taste of nothing chicken balls was soggy dough, spare ribs smelled like dog food, bbq sauce was tasteless will not be using this again would rather starve. I only gave u 1 star as was unable not give a 0.

Ordered , kung pop chicken, chicken curry with boiled rice , with a extra, large house special chow mein , on Uber…. This is the best Chinese we have ever had, the food was very hot in temperature, the food comes in tubs that are cling film wrapped, impressed with that, I never knew this Chinese was local, I have too add the meats was awesome , nice chunky soft meats and plenty. The kung pop was made with breast chicken so not deep fried. Well done The Victory Chinese

I'd only started using this Chinese for nearly 2 yrs and omg!! The food is amazing. I wont buy anywhere else no more. Absolutely the best Chinese food ever!! Cant fault anything, is absolutely perfect!!

Tried this Chinese because our usual ones have gone down hill. This was one of the best chinese's I've had in a long time. The chow mein was absolutely delicious and tasted like how chow mein used to taste before processed food came in to it. The meat of all things ordered were tender and plenty of it. The portions were good sizes, delisand hot. Definitely ordering from here again.

Took my order even when closed, For all the years ordering here we’ve never had a bad meal. Top Chinese takeaway

Delivery took over 2 hours and when I tried to call them they never answered the phone

Haven't not used this takeaway before we were very pleased with how online ordering was really easy and the derlivery was on time, the food was awesome so much of it too the meat was tender and the whole experience was top quality! Highly recommended!!

Pre ordered our food. The dishes were not as hot as when we did not pre-order but the flavour and content of the dishes was excellent and plentiful.

The only thing good about this takeaway was the waiting time and cans of coke! We ordered Salt and pepper chicken, salt and pepper prawns, sweet and sour and BBQ spare ribs, chow mein, special fried rice.... It was all tasteless bland, frozen tasting food. The chow mein we had to return as noodles were burnt smelt and tasted vile! Reordered chow mein to then find a massive hair in it!! Spare ribs were tasteless, salt and pepper items were soggy and tasteless! We definitely won't be ordering again! 🤢

First time we have ordered from the Victory Chinese , my wordy they didint disappoint as such speedy delivery, food was so fresh tasting and hot on arrival. Def be ordering from them again in near future.

Nice food...the only let down is the curry which is just too sweet. Aside from that all good

Lovely curry proper chicken chunks very tender, chicken balls best ever had-crispy thin batter tender chicken

Lovely food. Quite a wait when ordering as they so busy

Really lovely food I would highly recommend.

Made an order around 5.15-30pm on NYE (20) our order arrived just after 8.30pm, we had to make a phone call around 7.30pm as it said our delivery would arrive by 7.10pm. Our food arrived not hot But was warm to eat with family. However our egg fried rice portion was missing but we were too hungry by then to bother ringing up to make a complaint.

Very busy place which is a recommendation itself

OMG I read these reviews and thought I would give it ago!Dish water tastes better! NO seasoning or flavour No sauce! I even left it and called them up! They said you ordered and excepted it, you should of tried it first!!They said that I could have 15% discount! I did not call to get some money back! Save your money in these crazy times and go somewhere else! Shame, Guy

Love this place, always polite,unfortunately almost 50 min wait for collection tonight,then arrive home and not correct salt& Pepper crispy chicken,rushed off there feet tonight.. Hopefully recieve soon.. Still best Take away around, Thankyou

I've used this takeaway for years. Ordered at 6.50pm on Saturday night order due to be delivered by 8.20pm. Fair enough but when not delivered by 8.30pm called restaurant and advised they were waiting for delivery driver to pick it up. Called again at 9pm to be told it was still being cooked!! Finally arrived at 9.25pm. Told I would get a full refund but checked my bank today and they have taken the money. Now refusing to speak to me at all. A shame as food was always tasty but I will never order from them again!

Not the worst, but I've not tried every takeaway yet! May want to google spare ribs and value for money! I know where my money is not going next time!

Get food, good service highly recommend

Normally my go to Chinese takeaway, got one tonight and the chicken in the curry was raw, such a disappointment. As I said my normal go to Chinese and it's been let down.

They have no customer service skills the food they delivered arrived under the safe temperature to eat . And when I challenge them and sent the food back the driver made a comment on that you will.be waiting a long time for your replacement and when I spoke to the shop they didn't really care and said I could write what I wanted on any review page !!

No hay servicio al cliente en absoluto cuando la comida estaba bajo la temperatura adecuada para comer. así que lo envié de vuelta y el conductor de la entrega comentó que esperará mucho tiempo.Cuando hablaba con la tienda, no le importaba si escribía una reseña y me decía que podía escribir lo que quisiera.

Ordered over £100 worth of food. Food was outstanding everyone was really happy. Delivery time and service was fantastic, would recommend to everyone. Thanks ! Top service

A pesar de tener numerosos letreros para el uso de revestimientos faciales, el personal lo ignora por completo y permite que el público se lleve.Entré con mi padre anciano para hacer un pedido donde también entraron otros 2 miembros del público. El personal no hizo cumplir las cubiertas faciales a pesar de que la gente preguntaba si era necesario.Estará informando a las normas alimentarias y a las agencias externas.

What can I say...absolutely tasteless! Sweet n sour Hong Kong, chicken chowmein and the chips well, to say they were like eating cardboard is an understatement! My husband said the pancake rolls were okay?. Never again! ☹

Chinese has gone downhill £23 wasted the bbq sauce tasted like water really runny rice really greasy the beef chow main had no flavour chicken balls just tasted of grease and the curry sauce was really sweet no spice at all

Aboslultey disgusting. The worst £40 ive spent ever, the portion sizes are so small for the cost of it all. Chose the salted spicy chicken dish £6.20 and literally got about 7 small bits of chicken, the chicken in satay sauce came in a watery clear liquid with onions and peppers. ( I thought satay was a peanut sauce) clearly not. Really disappointed.

Great food, lovely people, best in the area. We never go anywhere else

Chinos impactantes hoy en día. Usé esto durante más de 10 años y fue el mejor, los últimos 2 años ha sido horrible. A 4 de los últimos 5 pedidos les han faltado cosas y comida fría. Realmente mal y dudo que le demos más oportunidades ahora.

Ordered a takeaway not impressed with what I ordered crispy chicken in sweet chilli sauce couldn't even taste the chicken only the batter it was coated in ..also no rice or anything..so over £8 for batter in a sauce

Great food but often not open when it's advertised to be!

Best Chinese takeaway around. Food is amazing. If you are polite, you might get some extras 😉

Food arrived late and cold. The portions were small and minimum sauce with the bbq ribs. Have used this place in the past and always had good food but it has deteriorated. We will not be using again, £19.00 wasted as most of it went in the bin.

I have going there for years. I have always had good service and food.

One of the better Chinese takeaway shops around

Usé este lugar durante casi 20 años y hasta un cambio de manos hace 1 o 2 años fue bueno, pero finalmente hemos renunciado a este lugar después de una racha de comida asquerosa. Anoche encontramos pequeñas cosas negras duras en el arroz frito que no eran arroz, no estoy seguro de si eran trozos de metal negro, insectos o algo peor, pero lo que fuera no debería haber estado allí. Además, el curry contenía alrededor de una cucharada de chile en polvo crudo todo pegado a la carne y que corría a través del curry, no mezclado y ciertamente no cocinado solo crudo, completamente incapaz de comer, ¡así que todo terminó en el contenedor, 16 desperdiciado!También en otros pedidos recientes desde aquí, hemos tenido que tirar la comida, le hemos dado al lugar 3 o 4 últimas oportunidades con la esperanza de que pueda mejorar de nuevo a los estándares que solía tener, pero anoche fue el colmo, asqueroso y no lo intentaremos más.

One of the best Chinese takeaways in Southampton. Shame its not open later, 9/10 for quality of food.

Los llamé para decirles que la porción es solo un cuarto de pato. Fueron inflexibles y enviaron medio pato. Aunque les ordeno regularmente y sé que esta es su porción típica de un cuarto de tamaño.No se ordena aquí de nuevo. Claramente, una noche ocupada significa que obtienes menos por tu dinero

We always order from the Victory, the food is absolutely amazing, especially the chicken balls which have huge chunks of breast meat and lovely crispy batter, no soggy doughy gunge inside like lots of other places. 100% recommend.

this is the best chinese ever we,ve been customers for years and we would never go any where else John and Liz

LOVE THIS PLACE. It's my husband's and I go-to Chinese takeaway.

Ordenado desde aquí como un cambio a mi habitual como se recomendó. Bueno, entre todos teníamos unos cuantos platos, mi curry tenía champiñones, así que no pude comerlo, el chow mein estaba goteando en soja y grasa. El arroz frito con huevo también tenía demasiada soja. Rollitos de primavera tan cocinados que no pudimos morderlos. La mayoría de los platos tenían muy poca carne y demasiadas verduras. La mayoría eran demasiada soja o grasa. No volveré aquí de nuevo.

Good food at reasonable prices.

Ordered once. Spring rolls cooked in fish batter. I rest my case.

Moved to west end a year and a half ago and been looking for an amazing Chinese takeaway. Always went to St Monica takeaway but they dont deliver in my area. Thought I'd try the victory and now there's no going back! Their chow meins are the best!!!! Massive thankyou to the victory and will only order from you from now on!!😍😍😍 xxx

Our go-to chinese take away. Food is good, staff are friendly, and can't complain about the price. Would definitely recommend.

Poor service. Order was originally set for 1925hrs, as requested. Finally arriving at 2010hrs. 45mins late! Really not impressed...

Our regular Chinese shop gr8 food good service and home delivery

never get threw on phone useless

Great food for a classic old school Chinese takeaway.

Very tasty food and FRESH! Small family business, I would definately recommend ! Loads of options for vegetarians too. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Went here as I didn’t like the way my usual Chinese was cooked from my usual takeaway now. How I wished I hadn’t, there are hardly any starters and the chicken balls were doughy and greasy, a couple had no chicken in them! My chicken curry was vile, really aniseedy, in fact my hubby couldn’t eat it either. The chow mein had hardly any meat and was greasy. The ribs were chewy and my husbands sweet n sour chicken was really runny and also chewy. The only good part was the soup and crackers. Would not go here again.

Tasty, recommend the chicken balls

Great service from an efficient and very friendly staff. The food was excellent, will definitely be using this take away again.

Great service, excellent delivery staff and I always get a complimentary bag of prawn crackers with my order 😀

Very pleasant staff and rapid service

Tried once . Food ok but nothing to rock your boots . May return in the future . Every dish had an underlying taste . Couldn't work out what it exactly was .

Prebooked sandwich lunch completely ruined by foul tasting, cheap margarine spread. I wouldn't give stuff like that to my dog !

I always keep coming back here, the absolute best. 😋

La comida llegó antes de lo esperado, pero antes que nada faltaba el plato de arroz, así que tuvimos que esperar a que se lo entregaran antes de que pudiéramos comer. Entonces los platos estaban "bien" pero nada especial. El pollo en salsa de frijoles negros especialmente era bastante insípido y era más pimiento verde que pollo y fácilmente podría haber pasado por un plato vegetariano.

I will not go anywhere else. Always have excellent quality food from here. There is no alternative. Thank you for another 5* buffet.

Fantastic Chinese ! Best chow mien that I’ve had in a long time. Crispy chilli beef amazing too. Very tasty and good I’ll definitely have Again.

The food here is awesome. Best take away around. Sometimes there can be a wait but its worth it.

I’ve always chose not this Chinese when having a takeaway. However they have become money grabbing and arrogant. Ordered via just eat £75 worth of food and they declined the order. We order weekly!!!!!! So called directly and they said they were too busy for such a big order. NOT MY PROBLEM! when I expressed my loyalty to them they phone down! I was not abusive. And I offered for them to get the order to me at their own time and not ASAP as requested. But nothing was negotiable. I have looked back on my bank statements and added up the within the last year I have spent over £1000 in this establishment. Nearly every Saturday ordering £50+. However ordered from Peony in West End and the service was impeccable. Cheaper and better quality. Yes chicken breast not chicken cubes! Bye bye The Victory From an ex loyal customer

Absolutely stunning meal in my belly again . Totally recomend for food taste and quality and speedy delivery 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Good service, always try to be fast and always so fresh & tasty! Best local Chinese :)

Very poor Chinese meal .....barbecue sauce tasted like gravy.... no meat on the ribs... only one prawn in the house special curry... which was also tasteless.... the chicken balls were too far too greasy....i could go on....

First time using Victory chinese very impressed really quick delivery lovely and hot and the food was excellent 100% will definitely have it again

The worst Chinese I have ever had. No taste and cold.

All meals were cold, bland & inedible will never return. Please avoid

Always use this Chinese - their food tastes the best with right amount of spice and freshness
