Fortune House Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Town of Hinton

A hidden gem of tasty Canadian-Chinese food at reasonable prices. We found this restaurant by accident while driving to another eatery. The tip off was seeing ALOT of parked cars in front of this restaurant and almost none at our original choice. Another good sign was the number of people doing pickup for take out food. It was Good Fortune to find this friendly small family run restaurant with a buffet on a Saturday night. It had a good selection of traditional favorites, as well as a small salad bar with freshly prepared cut fruits and vegetables, and cold seafood (shrimps and mussels). The buffet trays were refilled frequently so that food was freshly cooked and hot. I have to say the tender and flavourful ginger beef was perfect, worth a repeat visit on its own.

The food here is very good. They are open for dining in (a concern in the Covid19 times of 2020). As we were just passing through we wanted a place to sit down and enjoy our meal. Our food was piping hot and delicious. They have several options for combination plates for individuals which is a nice option that many Chinese food restaurants don't offer. We both chose combination plates and neither of us could finish our meal. Everything we had tasted great. A bit pricey but good quantity and very good quality so, considering you're in a town on the edge of the Canadian Rockies, I would say the food here is well worth the price. I would definitely...
