Fortune Cookies Restaurant — Restaurant in Fountain Valley

Do not send back food here... You know that little feeling that you get when you think someone has messed with your food after sending back... To-go food here is not only missing love, but missing edibleness as well. We got a lunch special to go and even paid the extreme inflated amount of $5 extra for a cup of hot and sour soup that usually is served for free with the lunch specials for dine-in.... acceptable, I guess. We added broccoli to an orange chicken meal and it was not only rubbery, but could have passed as chicken gum. We asked for an addition of broccoli when we ordered. The two itsy bitsy pieces of broccoli charged a huge hugey amount, and I mean itsy...less than one bite of broccoli. We drove ten minutes back to get a replacement after an extremely abrasive and rude individual answered the phone. With so much attitude, it was weird when we asked for a fresh soup, he almost jumped up with excitement. Weird and doesn't make me feel comfy when I went to taste the soup and the top part of the hot and sour was just warm, and the rest scalding hot.... Could someone have put an "additional topping" on my soup? I believe the answer to this is yes. This is the third and last time I will be coming here, and I am glad I am a Google reviewer to expose these kinds of restaurants to the rest of...

I arrived after the dinner crowd had dissipated. I was a solo diner but the service I received was very attentive as if my table had more people. Service with a smile. My water glass was always full and my tea pot was always replenished with more hot water.

I was really hoping the food would have been more flavorful, though. I ordered 2 dishes: Pad thai and Shrimp with lobster sauce. I was disappointed that both were pretty bland. Originally, I was going to order a sushi roll instead of the shrimp but I guess the sushi chefs had already left because I was told that I couldn't order from that part of the menu.

As a solo diner, I obviously didn't finish both dishes (although I could have as I have in the past). The server was very nice and packed dishes both for me. I had finished my brown rice so I was only expecting the main dishes to be packed in boxes. When I got home, they had packed another serving of brown rice for me. That was really nice of them!

Service: 5/5...

Today was my first time going to this establishment. I have celiac disease and was very excited to come here as it is known as a health conscious place that offers a variety of gluten free foods. On the menu there is a gluten free page and I ordered a meal from it and when given my options of sides I was asked if I wanted white or brown rice. I asked if I could have fried rice as that is an option on the gluten free menu. I was told I could not because the regular fried rice is left out all day and just scooped up to serve as a side (gross) and if I wanted gluten free rice they would have to actually cook it (heaven forbid) and would be charging me $7. I asked the manager and was told this is "policy" and there is no way I could have only a side of fried rice regardless of having celiac. Advertising as a health conscious establishment while doing nothing to help those who need to eat healthy is false...
