Fortune BBQ Noodle House — Restaurant in Portland

This is a new restaurant recently opened in the Portland area. It is great to see more authentic Chinese restaurants serving the Asian population who crave for traditional Chinese congees and noodle bowls. The workers speak Cantonese so it was a good sign.

I was kind of satisfied with the noodle overall. I would give them a 3.5 stars for the noodle bowls and an extra 0.5 star for their good service. When BBQ is part of their restaurant name, I had high hope on their quality of the BBQ meats. I also noticed that they have recently increased their pricing too when compared to the old photos of the menus posted by our wonderful Yelp community members. There is now only one pricing for one size of the noodle bowls. I don't know if it was a good idea. I did notice that the pricing is now $2 more for any 2 choices of meat option.

Overall I think their noodle bowls are a half star better than competitor Kenney's Noodle House. It is always disappointing to have NO vegetables in the bowl. Is it becoming a trend to not offering vegetables? I saw that Fortune BBQ is charging extra $2 for vegetables, very disappointing.

My husband ordered wonton and BBQ duck noodle soup $16 and I had dumpling noodle soup $13. I was very happy with their large dumplings with at least 2 medium shrimps in each dumpling. Other ingredients were crunchy with chinese mushrooms, very good. The flavors were on point. My husband got three wontons and 5 pieces of duck. Their display case showed beautifully cooked ducks that were meaty. Their BBQ pork also looked very nice and juicy. However, I was disappointed that the duck pieces tasted a bit metallic. I can't complain how meaty the duck pieces were. I won't recommend BBQ duck at this restaurant. If we go back to this restaurant again, we will try their BBQ pork instead. The wontons were fine but smaller than the dumplings which was expected. I prefer their dumplings over the wontons.

The broth was okayed but lack the depth. It seems that my dumpling broth may have augmented with seasonings. The noodle was pretty good and was not overcooked. I would have given their noodle soup higher rating if it weren't for the lack of vegetable and...

First of all, this place is new, family run, and very small. The food comes out fast but it's busy and you just have to have patience as the owner is taking orders, delivering the food, answering the phone, making and bringing out tea, sitting people, and taking payment. She is wonderfully sweet and polite however and the rest of her family is prepping food and dishes, cleaning produce, and busing tables. It's a somewhat typical inefficient, not enough help small family business but it all works if you just go with the flow. With that preface, this is an excellent, inexpensive and VERY authentic Cantonese restaurant. It is not American Chinese nor even American dim sum. The won ton soup has a fish stock base with fish and pork in the won tons. Peking duck, chinese bbq pork, and grilled pork (think fried pork belly) are the staples and has a lot of Congee as well on their menu. Very flavorful and very good, just very traditional so if you're not used to this style of cuisine, go in with an open mind and ready for a new taste experience. They have orders to go as well...be warned, the parking is limited and tough to find a spot, go across the street or park behind in the...

I'm so glad my husband and I stumbled upon this mom and pop restaurant. I was craving for wonton soup and saw this place on the way home and decided to try and have early dinner here. The place is small with few tables but it's very clean and a nice friendly staff greet us by the door. We ordered wonton and dumpling soup, pork BBQ steam bun, pork roast and pork BBQ combination rice plate, roast duck and beef brisket combination dry noodles. The food reminded me of my father's cooking, since he passed away I've been missing him so much and these food just reminds me of him. The food we ordered tasted like a home cooked meal. My father was a great cook and his love language was cooking for his family and the food here reminds me of him, like a warm hug. Thank you for this experience, the food here not only feed my hunger but also feed my heart. I will definitely return here. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for an authentic Chinese BBQ and...
