The Peking Duck at Fortune House is a stand-out dish, crispy and authentic, as is the Hot and Sour Soup, revered as addictive. Other dishes, however, have been reported as bland and lacking in flavor. Nonetheless, the serving sizes are often described as substantial, and the value for money is undeniable.

Vibe: An echo of 80s despair

The Fortune House Chinese appears to be a place best suited for dim nostalgia, with faded 80s decor, overly bright lights, and a possible soundtrack of chefs shouting in the kitchen providing a slightly uncomforting ambience. The ambiance lacks allure due to dirty tables and meagre furnishings.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Too bright LED lights, dirty tables, plain furniture, depressing ambiance.

Perks: Perfectly mundane with flashes of brilliance

On the positive side, the service is stellar - prompt and friendly. The restaurant also tolerates the hordes, offering generous space for large groups. It boasts ample parking but is marred by the background sound of cooks at work, disrupting the otherwise placid quietude.

  • Great For Groups

    Accommodates big groups with spacious seating and generous portions.

  • Hard To Hear

    Chefs yelling disrupts the quiet, making it hard to have conversations.
