Fortune Chinese Food Take-Out

Jaime E. Soto

The “Fortune” in the name is for being very expensive. Management and cooks have changed as the food is totally different from what it used to be , recipes have changed, quality has been lowered and prices increased. I think they are riding on the high reviews from previous food and prices. And unless you ask, they do not include any sauces. Sad to have lost a good dependable Chinese restaurant.

The Yelp reviews on this place don't lie as an average 4.5 star rating strongly holds true. This takes me on a trip to the Curtis Park neighborhood of Sacramento where I finally had to try out "Fortune Chinese Food". This place is plain legit good and knows how to dish out some amazing Chinese food. Located directly on 12th Ave. and in between the 99 freeway and Franklin Blvd., this place has been feeding thousands of customers dating back to 2016. Keep in mind, (as of December 2021) this place is take-out/to-go ONLY. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many restaurants had to adjust their dine-in restrictions and with this place already being very small as is, it makes total sense. But don't let that stop you from ordering here because the amount of food they give you here in no joke. I arrived during the afternoon of Saturday 12/18/2021 @ 3:45pm and knew exactly what I wanted. I went with two (2) their "Dinner Combo" (priced at a very reasonable $12.50 + tax); one with Orange Chicken and the other with Beef Broccoli. The sides included with the main entrees are a very generous portion of Chow Mein, Chicken Fried Rice, Egg Roll, Crab Cheese Wonton, sweet & sour sauce, and a few packets of soy sauce. After I placed my order, it took them less than 15 minutes until it was handed me. I have to admit, both of these entrees weighed about 2 lbs. (32 oz.) each! After I made the trek home, I was absolutely wowed by how much food they give you here. It was absolutely over-the-top to a whole other level. The Chow Mein itself had the thicker noodles but were a bit on the salty side. The chicken fried rice was moist and actually had large chunks of chicken in it but also quite salty. The beef broccoli was delicious though as the beef was seasoned to perfection while the sauce hit the spot with crunchy stalks of broccoli. I also liked the Orange Chicken but it had too much sweetness for my liking. The egg roll was crispy and just average to me. Finally, the crab cheese wonton was good but too burnt and not enough filling inside. With that said and done, your money goes a very long way at "Fortune Chinese Food". Being able to enjoy leftovers that carry you a few days after visiting the restaurant is always a good thing. Keep in mind that if you want to take advantage of the Lunch Combo (for $10), that is from 11am-3pm while the Dinner Combo (for $12.50) is from 3-9pm. They are closed on Mondays. Overall, the food here is above average, my only dilemma is the amount of MSG in this but it is Chinese comfort food at its finest. My rating for Fortune Chinese Food, four stars.
