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 features 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 includes options such as Crab Rangoon, beef and pork dumplings, beef lo mein, cauliflower, green beans, cabbage, and honey walnut shrimp, all of which received positive feedback. Customers highly recommend the honey walnut shrimp and the jasmine tea. The orange chicken is also enjoyed, with one reviewer praising it as their favorite. The General Tso's chicken was noted as overcooked and dry by some. The fried rice is considered standard, though one reviewer mentioned they were surprised to be charged for steamed rice, which is usually included with entrees. The green beans and walnut shrimp are popular, and the fried green beans received praise. The chili oil was highly praised for its flavor.

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