Damn good. Their Rangoon’s are so good. I have chicken with peanuts and my buddy got pad Thai. We were both jealous of the others food. Both incredible.

This is just our opinion. I should have taken photos but did not. First impressions are crucial to me and this was not the right food for us based on allergies. What we ordered: Egg rolls-what we got tasted frozen and then deep fried to the point the cabbage interior dissolved. Ordered: Crab rangoon but what we got: the worst we have ever had. It was pinkish whitish on the inside and horribly sugary sweet to the point we felt someone may have used strawberry cream cheese by mistake. It was bad. I never expect sweet like sugar rangoon. I feel something went very wrong with those, sincerely. Finally, we ordered the chicken pad Thai….they put LEMON in it and not lime as stated in writing on the menu. I don’t care for lemon pad Thai I wanted lime and actual typical peanut sauce. The chicken was dark meat and odd and nothing in the bowl was uniform in size. Not even the noodles. They give a huge portion size but that doesn’t really matter if it’s not received very well. The pad Thai had overcooked overly textured fibrous feeling chicken, three slices of the worst tofu I have ever had like mushroom/tofu/cardboard tasteless sog squares, they threw in some random scrambled brown egg, about 2 overdone bean sprouts, what looked like carrot scraps from the tail end of a grater, something that looked like vines of cilantro but had no taste and were wilted and probably 4 inches each twirled long along with random cuts and thicknesses of onions/cabbage chunks with no flavor and then they decided to make it extra spicy but that’s not how it is depicted online so please make a check mark or anything to show that there will be a spice level indication needed to avoid this. When I arrived, I asked the woman up front if there was MSG and she carefully answered in a way that leads me to know they used it and it was in my food because I did have to take my medicines and reacted afterwards. (Swollen face and throat). They were deceptive and the description of food is inaccurate from what the end result was. The price is high for that type of misleading information. This was my first impression. I won’t be back. We go to Fortune Garden usually, and have never had food this off with the combinations of flavors all over the place. I don’t enjoy food flavor or ingredient roulette. The textures weren’t right either. This is Americanized Chinese overcooked food with a chef that may use alternative ingredients like Tex Mex infusions which makes no sense to us. Our take was that here, If you expect savory you will get sweet, if you expect fresh you will get frozen, if you want or expect mild you will get extra spicy….please don’t mislead people and steer clear if you can’t tolerate MSG because what was said to me was done to avoid responsibility and that’s a shame. I actually wish we could get a refund, it was that off and misrepresented. Sorry, not sorry. For those of you that seem to love it, good for you but something was very wrong today. Update: I changed from 1 star to 3 because I was called by this restaurant after replying to my online receipt and we have come to an agreement on this and I deeply appreciate the follow up. They very much care and I appreciate that they listened to my concerns. That means more to me than the food ever would. Hope this makes sense and please support this place if you can.Vegetarian options: They will customize your order and use vegetables.Kid-friendliness: Lots of people there with kids.Parking: Tight strip mall parking.Wheelchair accessibility: It seems a wheelchair could fit. It’s not designated though.Dietary restrictions: I am allergic to MSG and they do use it so be careful.

We had them deliver the food. It was hot and delicious. The chicken lo mein was loaded with chicken and vegetables and the cashew chicken had the perfect blend of chicken, cashews and vegetables. The crab Rangoon was crispy and filled with the lucious crab filling. It’s our go to place for Chinese food.

My husband and I have been wanting to try out the food. We entered the establishment and sat down at a booth.The waiter came and asked what would we like for drinks, and we replied, Two waters. "The young male waiter walked to the back and sneezed three times (mind you, three WET sneezes. We heard him grabbed some paper towels and blew his nose. He threw away the paper towel and my husband could see the sink from his seat.....the waiter commenced to putting ice in the cups! We heard NO water run to wash his hands, just his sneezes, him blowing his nose, and lastly scooping ice into our cups.Hubby and I the looked at each other and decided to just leave.A first impression goes a long way and I am just glad that it was slow in the restaurant when we arrived, so we were very aware of the sounds and assumed that proper steps would occur but they did not happen PLEASE WASH YOUR HANDS!!!!!
