By far the best Chinese food in my area. I just wished that they offered small (pint) portions instead of just full size on their menu.

I'm a self proclaimed foodie and this is the best Chinese food in the area. I just recently moved to this area a year ago and tried so many of the Oxford and Seymour Chinese spots and was disappointed in 90%.Fortune house exceeded my expectations and is among the best I've had in CT. The food was excellent and the rice was out of this world!Highly recommend!

We tried this place for the first time as we heard from friends it's the best in Southbury. And it is for take out!Food is great, and there was a slight mishap with an item missing but they were amazing to make it right away and added in donuts which was a nice dessert!We will back again, it's been challenging to find a good Chinese take out place here. This will be the go to place for us. Highly recommend.

Fortune House is the new spot!I have been ordering from Sake for years and was in need of a change. Not only because I think the food has gotten worse but Sakes food never tasted fresh. It was just close to my home.but something odd happened to me the last time I was picking up take out. I was (surprisingly)early for my pickup (10 Mit) and had been asked to wait a couple mits while they finished my order.My vehicle was still cold and didn't want to wait while sitting on cold leather seats so I decided to drive around back with my head lights on (Planning only to do a big slow circle to get the engine warmed/ heated seats and let them prepare my pickup) this is when the situation happened. As I turn back down under the lower libel of Sake, I see an older oriental man with what looked like a 4 x 4' transparent/ white mosquito cloth in both hands help of his head but looked like he was hiding behind a landscape plant as if he was going to scare someone considering it was around holloween. Except as I passed by slowly, another person with a second similar cloth came barreling through the lower basement/ kitchen door of Sake. He was chasing 3-5 small animals that lookedLike We're inside the building with him before he had opened the door.In the moment I thought as I drove by slowly that maybe these were a small family of raccoons or possums. Maybe trying to eradicate them from the restaurant. In the moment I thought I must be lucky guy gets to watch one of my favourite restaurants perform vromit control as I wait from my favorite meal LOL . and I just was lucky enough to stand there team effort . I stopped the car and shined my work light over on the ground to see if they needed help in the dark. These were not raccoons, it was 3 medium/ adult size cats and 2 smaller (kitten) size cats in front that were starting to get away.Before I could comprehend what I was actually looking at, the older man who I almost forgot about being there, lunged and threw the net on top of the 3 cats that had fallen behind the chase. The "net" or fabric, had small fishing weights connected at each corner. Between there teamwork and the aim/ unique fabric netting, I could tell this was not the first time these individuals had netted a couple cats. It trapped the 3 larger felines as the younger ones shot across the parking lot over by the dumpster. The speed at which this older oriental man moved was unbelievable. He ran to the dumpster in front of my headlights and car on foot and I watched him perform someSort of back hand spring/ kart wheel monouver that cornered the little ones to where he just grabbed them by hand. I i shined my work light at the man because I frankly did not know if I had been watching too many sci fi films recently or if I had really witnessed what I just saw. Of course the one time I pick up Chinese food dinner without my daughter/ wife/ or son.I immediately realised I had seen this older man before once I had my LED work light on him. He was the older man that was always sitting on a chair in the back kitchen inside the restaurant. I would see this man only when I was inside paying for our dinner and as other employees would enter or exit the kitchen. This is because the door would extend enough during these times where I would get a glimpse of him. He always in the same spot, same chair, same clothes, same smile and often wave...It always seemed like they all new me when I would go in to pick up my order so when I'd get the glimpse of him with that awkward smile and wave, I never really took it as concerning... why would I until now?It's been almost a month now since I witnessed this. I wanted to write (my first review ever) on the Sake Review page but I was hesitant knowing this man prob had residence address on file. After watching him move across the parking lot last month and underestimating him or anyone that looks that old, ICouldn't put my family at risk of retaliation. If it were just me and I lived alone, I wouldn't care and would have gotten this message out there quic
First time here. I didn’t get much but the lady at the counter was very friendly and helpful My soup and scallops were very good and you could eat in too.

Heard of this place through a friend, I’m always hesitant to buy Chinese as it can be so inconsistent, but This place is AMAZING,, one of the best.Chinese food is usually so over priced yet so cheaply made (in my experience) but this place is beyond. freshest, YUMMIEST Chinese food I’ve tasted, absolutely rivals( and demolishes) some of the hibachi places I frequent,, from a take out place(in CT) this quality is unreal , the place itself may not scream to you, as it is just a little shop, crammed in a plaza store front,, but let me tell you the food speaks for itself., it’s absolutely delish. This store deserves 5+ stars ,,I’ve become a Chinese take-out regular because of this place. Worth every underpriced penny they ask for. It really is delicious! (And Compared to anything around it’s soooo cheap lol!) I’d take a picture of my food but I ate it before I could write a review

We have ordered from them twice because the reviews seemed positive. However, our experience has been bad both times. First time, they made a mistake with our order. Charged us for the shrimp with vegetables we ordered but gave us chicken! The food was very late- had to wait over 15 minutes past the time they said it would be ready. Some of the food we received was COLD. Then the last time- had to wait again. Over 25 minutes late!! Would have left but paid when we arrived. So had to wait. Their service is awful. They give you a time for pick up but never honor it and the food is mediocre at best. We will never go back!
