What J doesn't like about Fountain Restaurant:
Went for the $88 combo meal that comes with rice, soup, a choice of 6 entrees, and desert. It was ok... It's not the best Chinese food I've ever tasted. The vegetables were not cooked thoroughly and things were salty vs flavorful. Dimsum service is horrible..waiting over an hour for our food that was cold. Restaurant wasn't even packed and other tables were waiting. Server was grumpy and not apologetic. Cook comes ou... View all feedback. What Julia Weiß likes about Fountain Restaurant:
This place has turned itself around for the better. Great wor wonton soup, good combo dinners if you like western Chinese, we really like the walnut prawns and the sweet and sour pork is our favourite. The dim sum on the weekend is good, small selection but quite tasty. We like the BBQ pork steam buns and the crispy beef steak buns. This is the only place we eat Chinese food now as it's good and reasonably priced View all feedback.

Fountain Restaurant seems to have mixed reviews, with some patrons enjoying their food while others were left disappointed. The atmosphere can get loud and service can be slow, but the food quality seems to be inconsistent. Some dishes like the dumplings and takeout orders were praised for being delicious and well-prepared, while others found their meals tasteless or overcooked. The menu offers a variety of choices, with some unique and authentic options available. Overall, it seems like a hit or miss depending on personal preferences and experiences.
