About The Lucky House
On Warren Ave in Southampton, The Lucky House is a Chinese takeaway serving the neighborhood on a walk-in basis. The menu runs from a mixed starter for two, with prawn toast, ribs, satay chicken skewers, curry parcels, and seaweed, through to spring rolls and curry dishes. A kebab dish with a marinade also features, though in a smaller portion than the rest of the range. Orders can be placed for home delivery, with free prawn crackers given once spending passes a certain amount. The kitchen accommodates dietary requirements and allergy adaptations on request, allowing the range of pork ribs, curries, and starters to be adjusted for individual orders.

Customer Review Summary
Generous portions come up again and again as the draw here, with reviewers highlighting tender beef, a kebab praised for its marinade, and allergy accommodations that several diners say were handled reliably. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and welcoming, and delivery is described as quick more than once. But portion size cuts both ways: a mixed starter of prawn toast, ribs, satay skewers, and curry parcels was called tiny for the price, and the same kebab praised for flavor is flagged as small. Complaints recur around inconsistency and value, including pork ribs with little meat, a curry described as more onion than meat, mushy spring rolls on one occasion, and a dry meal for two that tasted the same throughout. One reviewer spending over £34 says they got only free prawn crackers, while another says a £40 order came with no cracker at all. Several still call it their favorite Chinese in Southampton despite these lapses.
