Fortune House Seafood Restaurant

Went here for a family dinner around an hour after they opened for dinner. Had to wait almost 15-20 mins before each dish comes out..food was okay, not as oily as other chinese restos but serving size were not as large enough as what you would expect for the price ($20+ per dish but you can have d same dish at a different place for a cheaper price and larger quantity)..would think twice before coming back..

Okay, we’ve been to Fortune House Seafood Restaurant many, many times over the years so I won’t bore you with all of the details of this Chinese restaurant located in Metropolis.No, instead, I’ll just start off with these Golden Yolk Custard Lava Buns that have been appearing on Instagram all of last year.It’s amazing how happy these little round yellow buns appear to be… especially since they’re about to be eaten.Actually, most people that order these buns will probably do exactly what I did when they arrived at the table… poke a hole in their mouth and then squish them until the custard spills out… But I’ve always been one who likes to play with their food.Truth be told, there was nothing really tasty about these buns as they were a bit dry. Oh, the things that I’d do for a cute pic.Anyways, food at Fortune House Seafood is fairly tasty. We also wound up ordering the Deep Fried Prawns with Lychee.We opted for the Steamed Shrimp Rice Rolls this time instead of our usual order of Beef Rice Rolls.We followed that up with an order of Stuffed Eggplant, Green Pepper, and Tofu.Another kid-friendly item on their menu is their Steamed Beef Balls. Guess I’m just a kid at heart.But I’m also a big fan of noodles! So that explains our order of Singapore Style Fried Vermicelli.

One my first visit, we had a reservation for 12 noon but they did seat us until 12:45. We ordered within 10 minutes but it took 35 minutes for our first plates to arrive.On my second visit, it was for 12:30 and they sat us at 12:50. The food is okay, nothing special, but the service isn't the best. If you're passing by and it's dead inside, go on. But if it's even half full, go someplace else.The only great thing is location. Since it's in Metrotown, it's easy for everyone to meet.

Overpriced and overcook the seafood and the chicken, we are not recommend to this resturant, and we are not go here again.

I will not go there as their dim sum is super pricey. There are better restaurants elsewhere. The only good thing is its location.
