本次在Victoria Seafood的体验远低于预期,尤其在菜品调味和厨师基本功方面存在明显不足。 基本功缺失:从一道炒时蔬说起 · 豌豆颠(豆苗) 炒得完全失准:火候不足导致菜叶软塌,调味苍白如同水煮,缺乏粤式小炒应有的镬气与层次。一道简单的时蔬足以反映后厨对火候和调味的基本掌控力较弱。 招牌海鲜:调味寡淡,鲜味不足 · 椒盐鱿鱼与带子(Salt & Pepper Squid Pork & Scallops):外裹粉浆过厚,入口油腻感明显,而内里食材本身的鲜甜却被完全掩盖。 · 龙利鱼:肉质尚可,但调味过于平淡,未能突出鱼肉的鲜美,酱汁或烹饪手法均未达到提升风味的效果。 · 食材新鲜度未见问题,但烹饪技巧和调味水平亟待提升。菜品整体呈现"安全但乏味"的特点,未能体现海鲜餐厅应有的鲜亮风味

They've gone through new ownership and wow it is not the restaurant I remember from 10 years ago. While it may look the same in the interior, they now have slightly better service, and the food is 20x better. We got so many dishes to share family style and ALL of them were cooked well. Apologies we started eating so my picture is not the prettiest but we just couldn't wait! Absolutely worth coming back and giving it a try.

My favorite canton place in Boston!! Always come here for birthdays. Great for large group gatherings. Food is amazing. Staff are super friendly.

Salt and pepper squid

The salt and pepper squid was really crispy and fresh. The barbecue pork was seasoned well but slightly dry and tough. I liked the barbecue duck as well and it had crispy skin. We were able to be seated immediately and the food came out quickly. The workers didn't really check up on us when we needed more water but other than that they were nice.

I thought the food was just okay (they were a bit heavy for me), however the value is great. The portions are very large and are generally within a $15-$20 range (excluding the market price items). Most dishes are family style, so I would recommend coming with a group. Also note that rice is an additional $2/bowl. For those that are looking for a Cantonese place to take their visiting family, this is the place to go. There are lots of round tables and service is pretty quick. My family really enjoyed their experience here and they'd want to come back.

House fried rice and sauce for pan fried noodles
Brian W.

This is a great Cantonese style restaurant - my family has been coming here for years, and the location is a great change from trying to navigate the tricky streets of Chinatown. On the most recent trip, we ordered: House fried rice - Very standard but very tasty. Also, it felt like this time they packed a lot more rice into the container - after a few people had taken helpings, it didn't even look like any was missing. I'm always a fan of getting large portions from restaurants, and most of the dishes today had heaping helpings. Chicken pan fried noodles - This was very good, but probably not the best for takeout. In the restaurant, it's served with the sauce on top so some of the noodles get softer while the rest is nice and crispy, but when you do takeout they package the sauce and the noodles separately, which makes sense. However, it results in the noodles being overly crispy (if that's possible) and hard to break apart into smaller portions. Still, it's the best way to package this for takeout and the taste is amazing. This is my favorite dish. Beef chow foon (dry wide rice noodles) - Always a classic - these noodles are bouncy and chewy and the beef is nice and tender. Really good wok flavor on these noodles - we get this almost every time. Braised beef - This normally comes with radish, but the restaurant was out of radish on this particular day. Instead of giving us a smaller portion, they loaded our portion up with a TON of beef. This was amazing - the beef fell apart in your mouth and had a ton of flavor. And the tupperware was jam packed with meat - no fillers at all. Rice noodles - These were okay. There wasn't a ton of taste, but there was a LOT of noodles crammed into this container. This is the one dish I may not order again, but it wasn't bad. All in all, there was a LOT of food packed into those 5 dishes. I'd absolutely order from here again!

I bought a fish for takeout. This is a $30 dish... I think people can judge for whatever they think it is worth. Hopefully, it's tasty.

" Service is Poor , Food is good , Parking is difficult & Food is Pricey ". The service is poor. You are not greeted or welcomed when entering. They have new owners . The vibe is not too friendly or welcoming as you are not greeted . So it makes it uncomfortable. I said hi and greeted the staff to make it feel comfortable, lol . I ordered soft shell crab it was like $25.50 . The portion size is ok . The taste is good and it tastes fresh . I got that with large white rice . It also tasted fresh not heated up . I took this for take out . I waited about 15 minutes for my order . So it was not too bad of a wait time for the time of day . I went in on a Saturday around 3:30 pm . The parking is street metered. However it's difficult to find. So overall the food is good just parking is terrible. It's also a little pricey so keep that in mind.

I was incredibly impressed with this place. They're really able to get the simple things done really well. I ordered the seafood udon, and was given a super flavorful and savory broth with generous seafood+vegetable portions. Everyone in my party was given massive portions and everything was incredibly delicious. You could tell these were made with technique and all somehow had very complex flavors and perfect textures which were unexpected to me. My friend ordered the tomato and egg rice plate. If you're chinese, you'd think this dish, while classic and delicious, would be pretty unimpressive. However, it was incredibly velveety and soft as well as perfectly seasoned. Our meal was served with hot tea, and each dish felt very authentic. I'd love to come here time and time again. It's popular for a reason!

17 bucks for 5 ribs with no flavor
Jay M.

Well, this turned bad I was in the area and wanted to try Victoria seafood as driven by it a million times over the many years by BU. I was enthused as mostly Asian diners and usually they know the best Chinese food spots. Seats me at a 1/2 table jammed in ; looked like the take out food table. I assumed as I was single diner; didn't want to waste a regular table ....tea pot looked ... great tea... no tea flavor, looked watered down water with faint tea color. Ordered the bbq ribs for 17 bucks. Ribs had no flavors, minimal meat, only 5 smaller ribs... wouldn't order again as poor value... Ordered the 3 delight noodle dish shrimp, chicken, meat... again all meat no flavors, sauce watery no spices at all... tasted like American chop suey.... Carrots rock hard, not even tender... big pile of thin noodles under the meat... some noodles tender, done not cooked or pan fried too long... Not sure what you the Asian diners see in this food... I assume many the seafood dishes better. Then pay bill with cash; she rounds down my change to cheat me out of 68 cents vs. they giving me the dollar and they lose the 32 cents difference? Either way... 68 cents loss came out of the tip. My tip is to never now ever return.

As someone who grew up in the area, Victoria's was more or less of a childhood staple of mine. However, going back to revisit this spot after... maybe a decade or so... it seems a little less appealing to me - even with the order of some childhood favorites. First off, the overall vibe was pretty old school and classic for a Chinese establishment - which is honestly great if you're wishing for a more nostalgic feel. Though, depending on the day/time, service can be pretty slow and less attentive as one would like. Food-wise, their dishes were alright. There wasn't anything particularly special or appealing to me (aside from some of the childhood picks of mine), though their food was definitely much greasier and heavier than I remember. Still, not bad for a classic local food spot. Overall, it's still a pretty decent as a late night joint for the Boston area - esp since over the years, I feel like that's one of the things that this city lacks the most.

Food: AMAZING, no complaints. All the dishes were fantastic!! Service: The guy was a little grumpy and really strict since the restaurant gets super busy and we only had a time limit of 1hr 45mins to eat (for a work dinner for party of 18). Also, over the phone they were a little harsh when I was uncertain on how many people would show up. I had a colleague who was vegetarian and when he asked to order more veg dishes, the waiter said "but you guys already ordered a lot of food". Ambiance: It's in a fun area of Boston on BU campus so tons to do around. Super walkable and accessible to the green line. Inside the restaurant it's like a typical Chinese restaurant, very busy.

came here for lunch one day. ordered quite a bit of food. to my surprise, everything was better than anticipated and expected since we had heard some mediocre reviews prior to our visit. I'm not sure if the kitchen finally got its stuff together. We were all delighted. Would return again

Are there any parking lots around? Is finding a parking spot difficult there?

Mainly street parking. Difficult by mid-day until end of day. If you're willing to walk a bit, it's easier to park along inner residential streets several blocks south of the restaurant. Relatively easy to find parking after 8 pm.

Victoria has been closed for many months. Are they permanently closed or will they truly open on August 31?

Update as of 01/30/21- They are open for dine-in and take-out!

Are they open? I tried calling several times and no one has picked up.

No they aren't open yet

I actually think this would be the perfect spot to solo dine! It was busy for Friday night dinner but I managed to grab a table for 1. First you order by the entrance & after ordering, they you a table to sit + bring your order to your table when it's ready. You have around 40 min max to eat (when it's busy). I ordered just the Spicy Roasted Miso Avocado Sushi Roll (4 pieces), ~$10. This served as a great snack! It was flavorful, but of course had no meat because they do vegan dishes + ramen here. I remember coming here before, a while ago, and not being the biggest fan of their ramen. Not really because it was meatless but the broth was a bit too thick for my own personal liking. So, I would definitely come back again and get this avocado roll! I might consider trying their ramen again too. Staff were very kind!

But this place completely lives up. 6 different ramens, $17.95 for the regular bowls. I was recommended the red hot miso ramen, a spicy option. You order up at the counter, and they give you a buzzer that buzzes when your ramen is ready to grab at the counter. The ramen was ready in under 10 minutes. First, the broth was remarkably complex and rich, with an endless depth that never became too overbearing -- perfect. The noodles were perfectly cooked as well, served up in a decent portion. Toppings-wise, you get tofu, soy crumble, corn, arugula, and sprouts, along with plenty of sesame seeds. I would've liked some proper greens (other than a few raw arugula leafs), but that's the most minor of complaints. Service was decent enough -- informative and helpful in describing the options. All in all, top-notch vegan ramen. Highest recommendation.

I ordered the Shio (salt) ramen here years ago and felt like it was on the saltier side so this time I tried their Miso. The difference between a small and medium is 1 piece of cha siu. Unfortunately, rather than cha siu it felt more like braised pork belly-- it wasn't tender nor melt in your mouth but it was rather fatty and chewy. Due to the aforementioned line, we did feel kind of rushed since two servers kept coming by our table and asking if we were ready/finished when we were still eating. While I did enjoy my experience of dinner here, I'm not sure if I would recommend Santouka as a "must have" ramen place in the area.

Excited to see all their success and expansion over the past couple of years. It's tight inside and I'd recommend getting there earlier than expected. Kind and quick service. I thought my first visit was just fine. The spicy oil seaweed salad appetizer was nice and refreshing which a bit of a bite from the seaweed pieces, which I liked. A friend and I also split their big plate chicken and hand pulled beef noodles - I thought both were just fine and I found the broth to be quite light and clean when I am used to deeper and richer flavors in this type of Chinese cuisine, so I wasn't overly impressed initially. I've gone back a couple of times and I think I found the dishes that really sold me. I absolutely love their chili oil beef rib noodles - it is one of their signature dishes for a reason. I think their chili oil has excellent flavor, the noodles have a great biang biang/qq texture, and the beef rib was so tender. Both of their mushroom appetizers - the fried ones and the woodear mushroom salad - are also spectacular. For some reason I am just not a fan of their noodle soups like their Lanzhou beef noodle soup, and much prefer their saucey noodles.
