About Fortunate Son Chinese

Fortunate Son Chinese offers a variety of dishes with mixed reviews on their food. The interior is beautifully decorated with a flower-covered ceiling, creating an elegant atmosphere perfect for special occasions. It has both indoor and outdoor seating and is a popular spot, often packed with customers. Parking can be a challenge, so extra time should be allowed to find a spot.

The menu features options such as Crab Rangoon, beef and pork dumplings, beef lo mein, and cauliflower, all of which received positive feedback. The honey walnut shrimp is highly recommended by customers, as well as the jasmine tea. However, some dishes like orange chicken and General Tso's chicken received mixed reviews; the orange chicken was noted for lacking flavor and the General Tso's chicken was not typical in taste. The Dan dan noodles were criticized for being too saucy and lacking in flavor. The fried rice, white rice, and egg rolls received less favorable opinions, with some customers finding them less appealing. The restaurant's chili oil was highly praised for its flavor.

Service varies; while some customers experienced efficient pick-up and friendly staff, others reported issues like long waits, missed checks, and forgotten orders. The music level has also been mentioned as a concern, as it can be too loud for conversation. Despite these issues, the atmosphere and reasonable prices make Fortunate Son Chinese worth a visit, especially to try different dishes on future visits.
