Delicious, fresh, clean food. The ‘healthiest’ tasting Chinese takeaway we’ve ever had. Service was great and collection time prompt. Thank you.

On holiday in Woolacombe and decided to give this place a try based on the reviews, absolutely superb service and food, we had Chicken Curry, Sweet and Sour Hong Kong style and Crispy Beef, all were fresh, hot and tasty, it was ready at exactly the time agreed, the girls in the shop were very friendly and polite, we will definitely be ordering from them again this week, would highly recommend.

We wanted a Chinese takeaway whilst holidaying in Croyde. We ordered from the Good Fortune and we weren’t disappointed. A fantastic meal delivered on time and piping hot. The quality and taste were both excellent. We would thoroughly recommend the Good Fortune if you are holidaying in Croyde.

We live in Braunton and have ordered from Barnstaple due to poor chinese meals in Braunton but thought we would try here again- Awful sweet n sour balls- undercooked batter. Beef dish better but overall meal disappointing. Seem very rushed.
