I'd never been here, husband swore by it but hadn't been for years.
Chicken chow mein. I've never in my life had chow mein with regular peas and green peppers in it, but looking past that I had some anyways. I had one bite. The sauce tasted like water had been mixed with corn starch with no seasoning. So I moved on to the one I was looking forward to....
Beef lo mein - wasn't beef lo mein. It looked like the chicken chow mein minus the peas and green peppers and tasted and looked the same. Again, took a bite (I was hungry) - tasted the same way as the previous. So I moved on to my husband's appetizers....
Crab rangoon was good, but the duck sauce has so much water added that there was just a hint left on after dipping it. But edible so yay.
Egg roll was good - hot mustard was very hot (yay) but very watery consistency.
Beef terryaki - OK with very little flavor.

Read moreIt was MUCH better before... 😢 Today I decided to try the L 6. “Curry Chicken” Lunch Special for $11.95 and was REALLY unhappy. 😓 This is NOT “curry”… Neither is this “curry chicken” as advertised… The owners should have added the word “garden” to the title and I would have understood better what the item would become.

Read moreWhat can I say about Fortune Cookie? Elite is a word that comes to mind. I don't take that word sound lightly. We're talking about exquisite take out Chinese. Take out on a level that take out isn't talked about often.
The staff? Attentive, polite, intelligent. The kind of people that make society better.
I don't mean to be dramatic, but calling Fortune Cookie anything other than one of the brightest lights in southern Maine would be incorrect. They are a beacon of hope in this fading town. While the local food scene flounders from it's heyday (you know what I'm talking about), the Fortune Cookie shines like a bat signal, ushering in a long awaited meal that is delicious, yet you don't have to make yourself (or drive too far).
Thank you, Fortune Cookie, for...
