This is my childhood Chinese restaurant, which is what I compare all other Chinese food to. The schezwan beef is the best, crispy, a little sweet, and spicy; I’ve never found another like this one. Also the best chow mein, soft noodle and amazing.
Great food, fresh, hot, and not too salty. We dined in, there were only two ladies handling the dining room, walk ins, pick ups and door dash but we still received great service. I am grateful to know we have an authentic Chinese spot around the corner.
So disappointing the first time back but read on! This was my favorite pre Pandemic Chinese food that has become terrible. So sad. The fish was so old in our Hong Kong chow Mein. May give one more chance before never returning. Well they did great the next time thank God. I had the salt and pepper prawns. Yum yum. My wife loved her meal as well.
I've been coming to Fortune Star for 20+ years! The menus changed slightly over time, but its still owned by the kindest, most down to earth family I've had the pleasure of knowing my entire life! They serve delicious, authentic, Chinese food! Their Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings are out of this world. Their hot & sour soup always warms the soul! But my go-to is the Veg Chow Fun & Chicken with String Beans. If you're looking for your new favorite Chinese food restaurant, look no further!!!

I absolutely love this restaurant. The staff are friendly and the food is delicious. Very authentic and tasty! Bbq pork fried rice, chicken chow mein, dumplings, sizzling rice soup or hot and sour soup, along with their walnut shrimp are just a few of my musts when I go there.
Great service and delicious food. We ordered shrimp and scallop with vegetables and the portion was big. The egg and tomato soup and green onion pancakes were also both very good. The restaurant is pretty spacious and quiet, good value for price.
Fortune Star has been our "go to" place for delicious Chinese food for more than 10 years. Owners and staff are friendly, helpful and do a great job. Food is terrific, prices very reasonable. Favorites: lemon chicken, kung pao chicken, hot & sour soup, egg roles... and almost everything else on the menu!
