What User doesn't like about Fonbo:
Ok food....interior decor reminiscent of the early 70's. Bathroom is 2 flights of stairs down in a dingy basement. Bland tasting but cheaply priced..badly needs a makeover View all feedback. What User likes about Fonbo:
DELICIOUS! This is the best Chinese food I ever had!!! I can't believe this was taken out! The meat is perfectly cooked. The vegetables are tender. I'm so impressed. You have found customers for life! Thank you View all feedback.

Chicken was chewy, the sweet and sour sauce was put on top of the chow mein making it taste weird. It just was not good. People were nice and
