Fortune Star | Chinese Restaurant (#1 Mandarin Style)

I thought I let you know that this place was good but they demand a tip…be ware! At the time of payment, I was using my credit card and didn’t add a tip because I always leave a cash tip. I had just finished signing my name on the receipt when the Asian man (round face/bald) behind the counter reached over and pulled the receipt from the me, looked at the receipt and said “ you need to add a tip!”, “How come your not adding a tip?” I was confused and shocked at his aggression and explained to him that I wasn’t planning on adding a credit card tip because I was leaving a cash tip, I pointed to the table we were sitting at and I motioned my husband to show the cash we had already set aside and left on the table. That’s when the man said, “okay” and nodded his head. It was awkward to say the least, so walked over to the table to go get the cash to hand to him. This was inappropriate and sharing my experience with you as an FYI. Tips are NOT REQUIRED but earned in my opinion.

Food is very good.Their WonTon soup & Kung Pao chicken are a must have for me.Prics are a bit lower than others on the area. I definitely recommend them.

We went there for lunch all the time. The serving portion is large and tasty. We ordered Broccoli with Chicken and Orange Chicken, both came with steam rice and hot and sour soup. The service is friendely and excellent. It's a small business but they work hard for it.

Ordered house fried rice and it was so dry with not a single shrimp, beef or pork in sight. Saw like 5 pieces of chicken bits. Like WTH is this??

We have been coming here for years. The food is great and they have the best pot stickers

Great place if you're looking for family chinese food, I got their shrimp chow mein and orange chicken, the orange chicken was awesome (one of the best I've tried) and the chow mein was very good too, everything was well seasoned. The staff is not very friendly, they'll just ask what you want and that's it, but I think it's because they're always rushed lol

I had food ordered on Doordash and Fortune Star insists you include rice on every item you buy. I thought that was strange. I ended up paying 101.00 on food through Doordash and most of the food that showed up was rice and hardly any Chinese food. I now have a pound of rice since I bought multiple items and the amount of Chinese food is minimal. Another way to screw over your customers. Never AGain.

Fantastic food!

Good dum sum

I ordered fried rice and pot stickers to go. The fried rice tasted like it was burned and other than that too.Very nice staff, but I won’t return

Y’all are missing out. Easily one of the best Chinese food places in San Mateo. The sauce is always good. It tastes fresh. The chowmein is our fav in town and the portions are to share or to have the next day. I don’t want them to blow up but it’s time dashed or dined in.
