Fortune House Chinese Cuisine — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Fortune House is an old fashioned family-owned and operated hidden gem offering dine-in, takeout and delivery. Just try it. Thank me later!

This restaurant went beyond the call of duty when helping my family and friends during the pandemic, I will never forget their kindness. Remember that one month when there wasn't a can of corn available in California? Or TP?! Or an egg?! We had to get creative and come together as a community to get through it. And we did! Enter Fortune House, a local hero for my family.;)

When fortune House found out my elderly family member loved corn, this restaurant put together a special box (for optimum soup transport!) and assisted me in ordering huge takeout sweet corn soups for my happy members.

Pro tip: order directly with the family here for the best deals, discounts and services.

I love Cantonese special dishes here, everything is good. Generous portions. Delicate homemade sauces. Delicious family-style meals. Superb service. Try the Peking duck, braised vegetables, soft steamed dumplings, succulent char sui, hearty Cantonese soups and so much more.

We lived together through a tough time together! The chefs, servers and family at Fortune House will ask me how my elderly family member is doing and I am delighted to say great and thanks in response. I've overheard the family offering great advice about the menu and the city in multiple languages to everyone else too.

At the beginning of the pandemic, we saw people promoting violence in our communities, sometimes while waving a flag, sometimes making a racist or hateful comment. I wanted to grab that flag and hand it to the people who were saving our lives and making our communities a better, safer and more welcoming place.

Thanks for caring about my family and all of our families so much. We're really lucky to have you on our side! Five stars Fortune House. 多謝!...

We are late owls and usually cannot find good place to eat after 9pm. This one is good that is close late and we decided to go.

There is a parking lot for customers so we don't have to find or pay for parking. And there are only 2 people serving, which is just enough to cover the request after 9pm. People still come and pick up the order after 9. We are the only ones who are dining inside.

We only order one full duck for 2 male adults and that is enough. The waiter is nice enough to offer us free soup for free since we are the only table inside at night. And about 15 minutes, the duck is ready, the other guy cuts it in front of us. It is too fulfilling and we pack the rest to go.

The service is average, but extremely friendly with a smiling face. They are Cantonese speaking and too bad, I don't use that language at all.

A late night explore and we discovered a treasure, not only the duck, but also the friendly service. Will come...

The interior is in dire need of an update but the food itself is pretty good. The mongolian beef was very well seasoned, with tender strips of beef. I was surprised that it was spicy since most versions I've had were of the non-spicy type. The shrimp har gow was pretty sad. Slightly mushy chunks of shrimp wrapped in very thick and dry wrappers, but what can you expect from a place that doesn't specialize in dim sum? The seafood chow mein was a bit dry, but contained a lot of seafood. I especially liked the large chunks of well-seasoned fried fish. Fortune House offers discounted specials when you order $35 or more so we grabbed some salt and pepper shrimp for just $3.99. These were perfectly cooked and seasoned, and what a deal! Although there were a few misses, I would give this place another try and see what else they...
