Officially found my Cantonese family restaurant near me. The Salt and Pepper Squid that I ordered was PERFECTLY COOKED. THERE SINGAPORE MEI-FUN WAS YUMMY-LICOUS. SZECHUAN BEEF WAS JUST THE RIGHT OF SPICY.... all these dishes are from the spicy category, just do you know. My friend the waiter has a funny side to him. He is awesome! LOVE LOVE LOVE... LOVE THIS PLACE. The food prepared by the cooks here is AWESOME, BUT....I Really come for the waiter. He's been a good friend of mine since day one when he first served me and my family. His service is unparallel to any other I've met. He has this funny, comedian like, jokester during your stay here. You can be a jokester to him as well and he can take it.He knows who he can joke with and who is a stiff. Any dish you wish for he'll get for you. But he already knows what dishes I like in the winter and what I like in the summer. I can never remember the names of the dishes and I'll explain what the dish I'm looking for and BAM!!! Like that....I get the right dish every time. Even if he got me the wrong dish, I'd enjoy it anyways because EVERYTHING here is great. I can tell him I want to try something new and he'll explain a dish to me and what's in it and that simple... My order is here and delicious. I can't remember his name nor the dishes but he's the only waiter they got there. Funny guy, always with a smile. Never mad...
Read moreBest Fried Rice in Northwest Indiana! My wife and I order the Large Combination Fried Rice but instead of shrimp we get Beef and no egg. So Beef, Chicken and BBQ pork. Their meat is phenomenal, they definitely don't cheap out either. The large Fried Rice feeds both of us and we still have leftovers. Their Veggie egg rolls are also top notch! The prices are very reasonable, for the quality of the meats I would expect to pay close to double. For $16 bucks we get a large combination fried rice, veggie egg rolls, and a Quart of steamed rice. Does that even seem possible? Aside from their food, their service is very kind and gentle. A very warm, home like atmosphere.
I would also like to add, that I am angry and aggravated to read other reviews saying the women that answers the phone and is the "cashier" is very rude. This is not at all true and is degrading to her. She is very kind and has good manors and has a good sense of humor. I guess it's easier to judge someone than to nice. People need to stop being mean to her! Just because she is not fluent in English, does not mean she is Rude!!! I wish these ignorant people would ask themselves, "How would I feel if I learned a new Language and people made fun of me". It would obviously hurt.
Anyways, all in all this is our favorite Chinese restaurant and will continue to order regularly. Thankyou for the amazing food and...
Read moreI'm a regular at Panda Express in the Highland Shopping Plaza for two years now. My favorites are fried rice and orange chicken.
But one day, my boss gave us Fortune House's orange chicken and combo rice w/ pork, chicken and shrimp.
It was hot from being freshly cooked. After stuffing myself like a turducken, I couldn't stop comparing it to Panda Express.
The TEXTURE and taste of FH's orange chicken and their combo rice exceeded almost every quantifiable and qualitative aspect of both dishes.
Because it is freshly cooked, it will take roughly 15 minutes for a small and large order of either. Meanwhile at Panda Express, I could walk in and out or use the drive thru. But Fortune House doesn't not suffer the malaises of Panda Express.
Going inside of Panda Express exposes an atmosphere of trash and noise that for those with light stomach like me, will dampen your appetite. Their drive thru is frequently jammed and the poor asphalt maintenance makes me anxious.
This is what never happens in Fortune House. Their inmer ambiance stimulates the senses with tasteful Chinese art and culture that never makes me feel like I'm waiting. Your kids will be silent taking it all in.
They have ample parking in the back and their aide of the adjacent Miss Print.
I will recommend Fortune House to anyone who...
