Good Fortune Chinese — Restaurant in Wichita

Good Misfortune: Where Your Wallet, Taste Buds, and Dignity Go to Die. Looking for an overpriced, under-seasoned existential crisis? Good Fortune Chinese Restaurant on Maize Road, Suite 110 has you covered. It's not a restaurant—it’s a food-themed emotional ambush disguised as takeout.

Customer Service: Cold, Fast, and Hostile. Let’s talk about the moment I realized I was in the wrong universe: I waited 25 minutes, standing silently like a neglected Sims character, just reading the news on my phone, trying not to age in real-time. Then—like a scene from a cooking show produced by Quentin Tarantino—he throws the food at me. Not “places it gently” or “hands it over.” Throws. Like the bag owed him money.

Did I say anything? No. I simply accepted my fate, took the bag like it was evidence from a crime scene, and walked out—wondering if I’d just been mugged but in reverse.

The Food: Sad, Pricey, and Devoid of any professionalism. And for this? They charge $5+ more per meal than the other perfectly good Oriental restaurants within a four-mile radius that won’t emotionally disembowel you at the register. You’d think that premium price gets you something special. Nah. Same generic sauces, same mushy noodles, just with an extra side of disdain and culinary confusion.

Ambience: Designed by Regret. Walking in feels like you’ve accidentally entered a break room for disgruntled robots made in some alleyway in Shanghai. The tables are sticky. The lighting is clinical. The napkins are missing, probably because they ran away to find better careers. Dining in here isn’t a choice—it’s a psychological endurance test.

Final Thoughts: You Came Here for What? Good Fortune is less a restaurant and more a cautionary tale. You leave not with satisfaction, but with a plastic bag full of overpriced food and the haunting memory of being silently judged by a man who communicates exclusively through food slinging and terrible English.

You want real Oriental food? Drive five minutes in any direction. Literally any. The bar is that low and yet somehow still too high for this...

Update : This place used to be amazing but the last few times we have eaten here the food has made us sick. The last time the chicken was very bad tasting, im sure it was rotten, I only took a bite and threw it away but spent the night in the bathroom. The place inside looks extremely run down and dirty. I would not recommend this place anymore.

Former review: This place just keeps getting better and they have always been good. Fast fresh and hot everytime but it seems their food has only improved from good to perfection. We love the general tsao and the chicken and vegetables also the cashew chicken, if you get the combo it comes with rice or fried rice and a crab Rangoon and egg roll, everything is seasoned perfectly and the egg rolls are just right, not too much cabbage and nit too big nor too small, nice crunchy exterior and tender interior. You can even call ahead and your order will be ready by the time you get there...

Update: they've gotten better last few times I had their food. Add extra star. Service is good and food tasted fresh.

This used to be my one stop Chinese place in the Derby area a few years ago. Lately, I've been noticing the quality of their food slipping. The Ma La fried rice that I had today had chicken that tasted like it was old re-heated leftovers. You know, the subtle sweet bordering on going bad taste; as if it sat in the fridge just a day too long. They also go overboard on laying on the sauces ..big time! There will be only be a handful of meat on a given platter totally drowned in sauce strong enough for a sodium ion charge. The rangoons are still good and the egg rolls are still good. But the food, in general, just doesnt have that hot and fresh taste it once had. Now, I drive the extra few miles and hit Asia One on Seneca. Better quality food.. at the cost of...
