Fortune star 520 — Restaurant in Taneytown

This was my first time ordering from them and I definitely won't be returning.

I called in an order for lunch. According to their menu, I'm supposed to get a choice of white or fried rice and between a spring roll, egg roll or soda with my entree. I told the person who answered (and they answered just "Hello?" as if it were a house phone and not a business) I wanted the Chicken Lo Mien, she double checked that I wanted the lunch special, I said yes and she said "Okay, twenty minutes" and then hung up.

I decided it's not a big deal even though I prefer white rice because I figured they might be busy.

So I get there and the whole restaurant is closed off and they've made a small window just big enough to pass your food and your payment through. There's a window in the "waiting room" and stuff is just piled EVERYWHERE inside, which made me kind of wary next.

And the owners are fighting--or the cooks and the person running the window are fighting, I don't know if they were the owners. They're full on SCREAMING at each other while I'm awkwardly standing in their makeshift lobby.

I get my food and get out of there and let me tell you, I don't know what exactly I had, but it was nasty. So nasty. The lo mien noodles were more like udon noodles--not a big deal, but they were overcooked and so mushy I could barely pick them up with my fork, they just fell apart. The chicken was slimy, the spring roll (I didn't want) was inedible and the fried rice was hard and overcooked.

Terrible experience that I won't be trying again, that's for sure. Forbidden City might be further and $5 more expensive, but they're a whole lot nicer, the food is 1000x better and you'll be much happier...

Maybe it's an acquired taste. I've tried different Chinese restaurants in my life. This place was actually the worst tasting food. The wonton soup tasted rotten. It was in a green liquid and when I took a bite the soup became brown. The beef with broccoli was bad. The beef tasted like it was recooked after you try to keep it in your refrigerator. And then added to maybe some fresh beef. I know, because in college, I tried to make food like this. I was a terrible cook. But I've tasted waaaaay better food. Even the place in Westminster had very good food. If there are people who like Fortune Star in Taneytown, then they must be locals who wanna have pride in having a different type of restaurant. Hype is hype. Do not eat the food from here. It cost me money, time and some very embarrassing moments in front of my coworkers. By that, I...

Food was disgusting ordered general tsos chicken and didn't know that it was sweet Vs realistically supposed to be spicy,called and asked why the menu says spicy but wasn't then asked for a refund or remake and was made to feel like a criminal she said 'you stupid' then asked how come everywhere else it's been spicy was told that I should never order again from the lady that answers the phone I would stay clear of this place menu is very deceiving food is undercooked definitely not authentic and very rude staff and not happy that children literally work there 6-9yrs old behind counter taking money and would not recommend this place to anyone even my worst enemy.....well on my 8th bathroom break....yeah never Again!!!!!!!! Good luck to anyone who don't take...
