When you walk into the place it does not give the appearance that your meal will be the best Chinese food in Portland!! Have order from there four times with each order being a wonderful delicious meal made just as we ordered! The male working the counter (I believe the husband) comes across as not very friendly. If you arrive before your order is really and the place is not busy he opens up in conversation and is a super friendly gentleman. Parking is on street and very easy.

Consistently one of my favorite takeout spots in and around Portland. The food is always flavorful, the people who own and operate the spot are kind and caring. I often order the American fusion go-to: general tsos chicken. The chicken is crispy, the sauce is tangy and rich, and it comes with a hefty serving of broccoli and white rice. I love the vegetable lo main, pork fried rice, and pork fried dumplings. The egg rolls and bbq pork app are my favorite in town — highly recommend asking for the spicy mustard! Whenever I’ve asked for a recommendation for a new dish, I am always pleasantly surprised. I love that we have such an awesome a family run establishment in the neighborhood. We moved out of town a while back and will still drive in to pick up (20/30 mins away). They’re always helpful and accommodating with pickup times and the food is still hot and delicious when we get home. I hope they continue to thrive and serve up our favorite takeout. It’s nice to see their friendly faces whenever we go.

I’m always glad I bought takeout here; everyone at Fortune’s Garden is kind and thorough. My food is hot and ready, every time, and they never forget a thing! FG is the one place that makes hot & sour soup without onions AND includes a little bag of crispy wontons…for $3.50, such a deal. Jumbo shrimp and fresh veggies are worth paying for—too many places have cut corners by shrinking the seafood and buying so-so produce. The menu combos & added appetizer options are also great for catering to big and small appetites alike. Good stuff!

EXPENSIVELY CHEAP FOOD!!! decent quality but no way should two dinner combos and a simple appetizer cost 55 dollars. I got the general tso it came with 5 pieces of chicken and 4oz of rice and the egg roll lol didn’t even have and meat in it just carrots and cabbage 😂 we are literally still hungry and unsatisfied. Unfortunately we will not be coming back to this establishment way too expensive for the portions they give you. I remember places like this and pizza being the cheap affordable options WHAT HAPPENED? Super unsatisfying don’t waste your money.

Not sure where Melanie got her food but it certainly wasn’t from this establishment. The owners are a husband and wife team that work 24 seven and put out amazing food and the customer service is excellent. I am not looking forward to the day they retire. My children grew up with them and they knew them by name and still do 20+ years later. Mrs Winslow😎
