Fortune Chinese Restaurant

Absolutely terrible food. BBQ spare ribs are nothing like what you would expect and the rolls were over cooked. In addition to the food stuffed inside of them seemed very old. Won’t ever go again. Also incredibly slow on delivery.

Very disappointed. I ordered a quart and they gave me a pint which was disappointing. The food was also mediocre. The beef was extremely chewy, and i’m not 100% that it was actual beef. Would not order again.

The delivery was impressively fast. The food tasted pretty standard, but gets the job done. The ingredients were fresh & tasted less greasy than most chinese take-​out. I got General Tso chicken, tofu & vegetable, and vegetable soup. I’ll order from there again, just because of the expedited service, and the quality of the ingredients compared to cost. The portions were huge.

I’m a fan because of the low price and the quick service. We have ordered a few times for take out and it’s easy, quick, great central location and clean inside. The brown rice was great, and they are great at adjusting the spice level. Classic Chinese takeout/​delivery. Will go back!

Nothing extraordinary, but if you want some simple Chinese takeout, this is the best place around. The food seems less greasy than you sometimes find and the people are super nice.

The food is pretty much what you would expect from take out. That said, I’m a new fan of this place because you can order online, you can specify the spiciness level, and the dish is actually spicy (if you want it to be). Also, not as greasy as other places, and delivery is pretty quick. Delivery charge is $ 1.

More like bad fortune chinese restaurant.
Dumplings were mushy and straight out of the freezer of the asian grocery on washington ave. 35 dollar order and only one fortune cookie. They botched my order. The low men and beef with broccoli tasted likethey were stale. Never again!

My go to fast delivery spot! I have never had a Chinese delivery spot call me back to make sure they have my order correct until I started using this place. If you are looking for Chinese with fast delivery use this place.

Found a local Chinese place that’s close, cheap, and tastes great.
First order I had the beef and broccoli with a hot and sour soup. The portions are large, enough to have three full meals from a single entrée. The beef was average, I’d say, with really fresh, crisp broccoli with a not overbearing sauce. The hot and sour soup was tasty, maybe a little more liquid than some I’ve had before, and has the addition of mushrooms, which was nice, but unexpected.
The second time, I went with the chicken and broccoli with brown rice and this dish stood out. The chicken is all white meat with no fat or tendons. The brown rice is a nice addition where you have a hint of the husks, but tastes great. Once again, huge portions will allow me to enjoy the dish for a few more days.
The staff is friendly. I’m able to order my food and pick it up 15 minutes later. So far, had not had an issue with my order, which is nice change compared to some other local eat-​outs. Prices are very reason with an entrée and rice for under $ 10.

My #1 place to request for delivery. Food is on par with the usual Chinese takeout but they’re very fast. Something I appreciate when I’m starving and there’s no food in the house…
Typical order: beef and broccoli, chicken lo mein, and curry chicken. We tried others but weren’t that impressed so those are our staples.

Fairly typical neighborhood Chinese restaurant. The take-​out chicken and broccoli dish I tried was well seasoned with chicken and broccoli that looked and tasted fine.
The dining room itself is small as I imagine most of their business is takeout and delivery.
Bonus note — they do provide the nice, large, separated chopsticks rather than the cheap break-​apart ones that are rife with splinters and almost never break evenly.
Prices are fairly inexpensive.

Pretty good food for neighborhood Chinese take out. Love their Singapore noodles. General Tso’s is good too.

Quick delivery. Food is ok. Minimum for delivery. The con is its so cheap that you get so much for your minimum. Con is… you get so much grease that you dont needcthen there’s also a delivery charge. Each dish is a hit or miss. Somethings taste good. Some taste like cardboard.

Please keep in mind this review is five stars for delivery. We have never eaten in the restaurant.
Our favorite Chinese delivery in the city, including everything in Chinatown. The people who run this restaurant are so nice. They’ve gotten to know us because we order there once a week. I really like that their sauces, lighter than most Chinese restaurants. Not too heavy on the oil.
Some fav dishes:
Fried tofu with blackbean sauce, General tso’s tofu, steamed vegetable dumplings, chicken lo mein, and sesame chicken
And again, the service is outstanding for delivery. They have learned what we like, one item of which is brown rice. If we forget to say brown rice, they will actually call us back and ask if we want it instead of white rice. What Chinese delivery place does that?!

Ugh. Very very disappointing. I decided to have my parents come over for dinner tonight, it was going to be a special dinner as my dad was going away for a few months and he wanted Chinese as his last meal with us. I decided to use Fortune as I had been there four years ago and I remembered it as pretty good.
Have things have changed! I put my order in over the phone and picked it up in store. I would say that out of the 34 $ in food I ordered, NONE of it tasted good. The order was also taken wrong and I got a dish different from the way I ordered it. The worst dish I got was the boneless spare ribs. Basically pieces of pork in a sauce, no ribs at all.
The food was just so bad, I am embarrassed I ordered it for my family.

I really really like this place! Too bad I live in DC and am only here for a convention. What I liked:
1. Delivery guy was super nice and REALLY appreciative that I tipped him (do people not tip in Philly)
2. They offer a pint size (Lunch size) portion all day long. It was the perfect portion for one person and since i am staying in a hotel, and checking out tomorrow, I did not want leftovers.
3. The price. I ordered the jumbo shrimp and broccoli and got way more than I thought I would for the price.
4. The ease of ordering on foodler.
I ordered pork steamed dumplings and as I said above, shrimp with broccoli. I asked for the sauce on the side and everything steamed and they followed my order correctly. I also like the brown rice option which at least in the DC area I find more and more common. I only took one bite of rice but it was good and they gave me a lot more than i would have used if I did want to eat it.
The 5 – 6 shrimp (I forget how many and didn’t really count) were really good and the broccoli seemed very fresh. I am shocked i got this quality for the price. Can I take this place back to Germantown, MD with me?
The dumplings were good but a little too much noodle for me so I just didn’t eat all of the noodle. The filling was very good.
I am kinda sad I just discovered this place on my last full day of 9 days in the city until probably 2017 when my organization comes back here (I am the meeting planner for a show that is in the convention center). I would have definitely come back for dinner again (pretty much the only meal i get to eat while working 12 – 15 hour days here)…
All in all a solid and quality Chinese restaurant and I highly recommend it. Enjoy :-)

We were browsing Unilocal one evening looking for some Chinese delivery options for dinner. We ended up ordering take-​out from another restaurant, but I couldn’t get the photograph of Fortune’s sugar doughnuts out of my mind. We ended up walking over here the next day just for an order of these suckers (10 pieces for $ 3.50 — SUCH A GOOD DEAL) and it was like the best thing we did all day. Super friendly staff too!

Our favorite local Chinese delivery! SUPER fast! Plus they are so nice!
Tip: They are very vegetarian/​vegan friendly and can make almost anything on their menu with setain instead of meat. They are also really nice about customizing the dishes to what you like.

Solid standard Chinese. And they deliver. I ordered chicken and broccoli one weekend when I had the craving but didn’t want to eat anything too heavy. Lots of tasty white meat (nothing scary), and lots of slightly crunchy broccoli (just the way I like it). The sauce wasn’t too heavy and the rice was perfectly cooked. I also liked the wonton soup. Definitely interested in giving this place another shot sometime soon!

Got to give the bump to my favorite local Chinese spot. It doesn’t get more friendly than the staff here and the food is equally as consistent and reasonably priced. Call ahead because larger orders can take a while but its worth every minute.
I have eaten here countless times so I’ll just highlight the staples that I consistent come back to. The hot and sour soup is fantastic and comes with crunchy noodles. The amount of heat varies so if you get the end of the pot, consider this your warning. The chow fun house special noodles are also a must try. They are on the greasy side but go perfect with the chicken beef and shrimp combo. The steamed dumplings are also very tasty with the perfect amount of dough and filling (the veggie ones I do not recommend though). Oh, and make sure to get an egg roll no matter what as a side.
As previously Unilocaled the only thing I am not a fan of is the fried rice so I stay away from the combo meals. Nonetheless the prices are reasonable enough you can still feast with the a la carte items without breaking the bank.
There is some new chinese place a couple doors down but don’t expect to see me cheating on Fortune anytime soon with them!
