My son and I are in the process of visiting every Chinese restaurant in Chittenden County. We always order the same thing.
I order a chicken and broccoli combo with pork fried rice and an egg roll. My son orders a sesame chicken combo with pork fried rice and beef teriyaki sticks.
Price: $18.65 or $.35/oz is higher than average for Chittenden County.
Portion: 3.6 lbs between the two meals is less than average.
Pros: High traffic convenient location in downtown Burlington Ten minute turnaround from order to pickup. Tasty egg-roll with crispy shell Sesame Chicken had good flavor
Cons: The yellow pork fried rice was a bit dry and lacked flavor. They wouldn't allow us to swap an egg-roll appetizer for beef teriyaki sticks. Rather, they allowed an egg-roll swap for chicken teriyaki sticks instead (odd). They're still using older, smaller takeout containers which most Chinese takeouts have transitioned away from. They didn't provide utensils, napkins, soy sauce packets, duck sauce packets, or fortune cookies.
Impression: Convenient location in downtown Burlington offering less than generous portion size with mixed review on flavor depending on the food item, earning Fu Da's a 2.5...
Read moreI ate here earlier this week. I was told my debit card was declined. I thought this was weird, but supplied my credit card to cover the meal and left a tip. I took my food and went home. When I checked my bank statements I was charged on both my credit card and debit card. I called the store to discuss the issue. I was constantly spoken over and was not offered a refund. I was told to wait four days to see if the charge came off. When I explained that if a debit card is declined that it would never have been removed from my account I was again spoken over and offered no refund. I called my bank to ensure that the charge was no longer pending and had in fact been removed from my account. The bank informed me that the restaurant actually charged me twice on my debit card and that the first attempt had gone through, but the second charge was declined. I will be returning to the store with bank statements and will be getting a refund. The food was mediocre and definitely not worth being...
Read moreMy daughter took her own money to order from her and it took a couple hours to get it to us although she did use door dash but she ordered a 5 piece chicken teriyaki and never received them and to make matters worse she she opened her order of General tso's chicken and I noticed several hairs thru out the food and told her to stop before she took a bite. I took out at least 4 hairs that were mixed thru out the chicken. It was very gross. I tried to call to leave a message cause they were closed and the machine kept cutting me off so if have to call back to complete the message and all of a sudden it would no longer allow me to leave a message it just would beep at me like a fax machine and hang up, not sure why but I am super disappointed with the meal. My daughter spent her own hard earned money on this cause she really wanted it and it was a huge...
