Fortune Cookie Chinese Restaurant

I agree with a previous review. Probably the worst example of Chinese food I’ve ever had. I ordered garlic chicken. Absolutely no sauce and a completely dry bowl of chicken, celery to the extreme, green peppers, and an excessive amount of onions. To make things worse the chicken was dried and had probably been cut three days before. This is the second time I’ve tried eating there and cannot believe the place is still in business With food so terrible. The meal was dry and had absolutely zero flavor garlic chicken should at least have some type of flavor but when you have absolutely no sauce or anything to add flavor, I guess it’s understandable. You are better off buying Chungking and heating it up at home

First time trying this place and was pleasantly surprised. I was hesitant because of the bad reviews but my daughter & I wanted to give it a try for ourselves. We got a pint of chicken lo mein, a pint of beef & broccoli, order of cream cheese wontons and two egg rolls and the total was $26 bucks. I don't think the price was bad at all considering the portions were pretty decent. The lady who took order was very nice. The food was done quickly and very warm! Inside the restaurant is very cozy and nice. There was another family ahead of us getting a decent sized order. They do only accept cash but that wasn't a big deal for us. They have a coin plate for people who are short or if people wanna leave a penny for the next person. Now... the food. The egg rolls were on the larger side and pretty good. The cream cheese wontons were yummy. The beef and broccoli was good and saucy. The lo mein was very good, saucy, seasoned, only thing is chicken was little on the dry side but still seasoned well.
Not sure why they have quite a few bad reviews because they were good, not the absolute best restaurant I've ever been to but they definitely were NOT the worst one I've been to. Not sure if people came on off days or over exaggerated. But I suggest trying for yourself and forming your own opinion. Overall we will eat here again!!

Used to be so good back in the day, now it's super dry chicken (like jerky), hardly any sauce and the fried rice is not Uncle Roger approved.

This place is better than the typical American Chinese places with a big menu. My son loves the aromatic chicken, it's sweet orange chicken but different from the regular orange chix everywhere else. I love the szechuan beef. They're fast and always get my order right. The only drawback is cash only, no credit card.

I have been eating fortune cookie food religiously since high school, that's around 20 years. I grew up in Menomonie WI where the brother has another fortune cookie. I can't live with out aeromatic chicken I am addicted! I am so happy to be moving to Hastings this summer soon so I can eat it more often! Other reviews can't fault them for how they take payments.

I'm only giving it two stars, because it was cooked quick. Food sucks. The fried rice was undercooked and blah. The lo mein was the worst I've ever had. The shrimp and chicken in it, was dry. Like it was reheated, and no flavor. Same input from the others I got carry out for. Sucks, my family love Chinese food. I don't think I'll go back

pretty sure they could get more business if they started taking cards....

Can't order from here because they don’t answer their phone. Wanted to order food for 10 people, but I guess we’ll take our business elsewhere. Called 4 times in the middle of the day on a Saturday. This place has clearly gone down hill since I was a

Not your stereotypical American style Chinese restaurant. Veggies are an actual part of the meal, not just decorative. Not overcooked, could use more seasoning. I ordered szechuan chicken but really couldn't taste any szechuan peppercorn. Still the flavors were good. They don't accept card payment which was a little annoying, but they spotted me the $0.50 I was short. Would definitely recommend, especially to people that think typical American style Chinese food is too heavy.
