Fortune Kitchen — Restaurant in Squamish

I am leaning towards two-stars. We are up here camping and usually give one lucky Chinese food place a go each trip during our camping season. I also review most places we stop at during each vacation. Usually great stories too!

The lady taking the order on the phone is fantastic, kind and pays attention to detail. (I liked the zebra shirt! Heck yeah!) The establishment inside looks fine. Outside is dated but lots of places we have visited are similar across BC so that is normal.

The issues we unfortunately ran into would be with each dish.

The Mongolian beef was exactly the same as you would see in beef chop suey. Where you can pull on it and it kind of stretches. Bit of a bummer as it should be more the opposite. I wouldn't be surprised if this was actually Beef Chop Suey. My wife took pictures and she will be posting. I am using the receipt for my photo.

Pork Fried Rice tasted slightly burnt or a charcoal flavour that is very noticeable with what can only be described as a bit of a seafood-ish flavour? I absolutely hate seafood. There is also something key missing from it for that bang you get everywhere else? Is it just MSG or maybe Salt? Just tastes like minute rice with a different color. Different people have different likes and maybe the community here just enjoys it?

Chicken Chow Mein is my fav dish and I do buy it at every place I visit. This place doesn't add cabbage, carrots or anything to it (which is different and okay!) and the noodles taste sort of like T&T Market "Double Happy Time Noodles" with nothing on them (needs something). Again is it just a no MSG or salt thing perhaps? I make Mr Noodles at home and the small packet of flavour makes me want Mr Noodles instead.

Kung Pao Chicken /w Cashews We got cashews, no chili peppers, no cut green onions, no red peppers, what actually looks like Potatoes? (Never seen a cubed starch like this in any western Chinese ever) There is no sauce or again it is some super healthy version with no real taste and usually there is a dark or slightly dark hue to the sauce but not the case here, maybe forgotten. There is also supposed to be some sort of a spice to it from the non-existent chili peppers.

-- The 2x Spring rolls were the best part! They have a nutty flavour to them but in a good way. I would buy those again!

Maybe this is an off night for the cook staff? I surely do hope so because it felt like two of our four carefully selected portions were incorrect and I usually can brush off a lot. We judged this place and chose it based off reviews and we were incredibly disappointed.

Awful last evening for our week-long camping getaway from home after a year indoors. Let's hope the rain turns off so we can at least enjoy some fire while we figure out what snacks we have in the truck. I don't want to drive back and argue. There is no point I would imagine even when you are honest and Covid is enough to deal...

Look, I don’t want to be dramatic, but this chicken fried rice from Fortune Kitchen may have spiritually realigned my chakras.

At first glance, you might think, “Okay, that’s just rice and chicken.” WRONG. This isn’t just rice and chicken—it’s the culinary equivalent of a warm hug from your grandma who used to be a wok-slinging ninja. Every grain of rice was like a tiny flavor-packed soldier, perfectly coated in a glorious soy-saucy armor, ready to wage war on my hunger.

The chicken? Oh, the chicken. Tender, juicy, and cut into cute little chunks like it was specially prepared by someone who said, “Hey, let’s actually make this good.” I appreciate that energy.

There were no surprise peas or rogue carrots sneaking around in here either—just a committed relationship between rice, chicken, egg, and sauce. And I respect that kind of monogamy in a dish.

I ate half of it in the car while pretending I’d “just take a bite” and ended up talking to it like it was an old flame I regretted leaving. (“Why did I ever try that quinoa bowl? You were all I ever needed.”)

Fortune Kitchen, thank you for restoring my faith in takeout. This fried rice deserves its own...

Worst ever Chinese food, or just food, we ever had. We ordered Combat A , B and Kungpao chicken. The website menu says Combo B comes with Almond Chicken but we got Sweet and sour pork. I wanted to change the Chicken fried rice to Pork fried rice but the lady said there is $1 charge. What? Sweet and sour pork taste like sugar with Red coloring. Chow Mein no bean sprouts or cabbage, fried rice ....just soy sauce taste. Kung Pao chicken is completely a miss. I called to complaint about the almond chicken was missing, she said the website was done by someone else and it's wrong. What? Is that my...
