All the good reviews turned my husband and I unto this fantastic restaurant. Located in a strip mall you would think so so food but not true. EggDrop soup and Hot and Sour soup were the best I have ever tasted. Had the Wok Roasted Shrimp and it was out of this world. Nice size shrimp and fresh vegetables made it a hit. (I need the recipe) Would go back again in a heartbeat or for take out.

Every time I'm in the mood for delicious Chinese food (from a place that isn't a hole in the wall), I head to fortune wok. Both locations are fantastic. The restaurant is clean, modern, and the service is extremely fast. I usually order the sesame chicken, general tso's, or orange chicken. The chicken is crispy and white, unlike some of the other mystery meat you'll encounter at other Chinese restaurants. The hot and sour soup and crab rangoon are some other notable favorites. They provide extremely generous portions, and the prices are great (especially the lunch specials). I love this place and will continue visiting their locations for the best Chinese food.

I have finally came to a conclusion, that no other Chinese place in Kansas City is worth trying. Fortune Wok is the only place with the freshest and most delicious food, and great service. I just wish there were more people there when you are dining in. Superb!

WOK ROASTED CHICKEN! A friend turned me on to Fortune Wok's wok roasted chicken....damn is that good! I don't know how you wok roast a chicken and I don't really care. Chicken is perfect, served with a spicy sauce, peanuts, and some steamed broccoli. You get a generous portion for like $12 which is a deal! I ordered it and my wife got something else. Made the mistake of offering her an early taste of mine and once she sampled she pushed her plate aside and startied pilfering from my plate. Almost had to go prison style and use my free hand to hug that delicious chicken. The restaurant is nice, clean, and the staff is friendly. That wok roasted chicken is so good I wouldn't care if the place was a dump, dirty, and had Walter Matthau from Grumpy Old Men serving tables.

I'm not a fan of Chinese, like...at all. I'm the kind of guy that basically just ordered Chicken Fried Rice or dumplings, I will not venture further as I do not like sweet/tangy/sour flavor combinations that are generally seen in most Asian cuisine. But, Fortune Wok has the best Chicken Fried Rice ever and boy do I love their dumplings. Also, the owner remembers everyone and he's awesome. Happy with their expansion and happy they continue to do well. Given how hard it is to differentiate with American-Chinese food places in western markets, Fortune Wok definitely stands out in KC despite the appearance of being just another corner Chinese shop. Go there, be happy. Get the Peking Duck every now and then, too.

This is a wonderful restaurant that has some excellent dishes. My favorite is the Wok Roasted Shrimp. The sauce is perfectly-matched with the shrimp and peanuts. I've found that many of the dishes have steamed vegetables served on the side rather than included in the stir-fry. Now I was never one to believe that Chinese food was actually healthy - but maybe now it is??

stopped by after picking a friend at the airport- pleasantly surprised- very clean- but most of all, the food was outstanding- All our dishes were above par.... will definitely make regular trips... Still, I'm trying to get used to seeing all these 'foreign employees' working at a Asian restaurants...cleaners...gas stations...^_^

Probably the best Chinese food in the Overland Park area. Caution: Portions are huge. Think PF Changs family style. 3 of us didn't know that and ordered 3 different meals. It was a ton of food. Food was delicious. I'm a big orange chicken foodie and this place was on point! Great flavor without a ton of breading to get in the way. Large pieces of chick as well. Little known fact: this place has a full service bar! They make very good mixed drinks as well.

really good quality Chinese food! Had the Chicken pad thai and the basil jalapeno beef. the Basil is Chinese basil. The owner asked if we wanted the Chinese menu and we said sure, and he wrote out a list of dishes on the normal menu for us, in Chinese characters. We asked about prices and he said $17 a dish. That would be a rip off. So don't do that. Still 5 stars though because the food is good and the prices are reasonable

So glad we stumbled upon this place! While what we had wasn't amazing, I think it was more a matter of ordering the wrong thing than the quality of our dishes. We ordered the wok-roasted shrimp and mu-shu chicken. The mu-shu was really good and the meat and veggies weren't shredded (and that's a good thing). Guess some presentation would have been nice, but it was tasty. The wok-roasted was a little too crispy and sweet for our liking, but it was still pretty good. Most importantly, our picky kids enjoyed the food!! We ordered a kids plate with sweet and sour chicken and subbed fried rice for the fries, plus crab rangoon. They loved the rice and crab rangoon. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful food, atmosphere, and service. I got the General Chicken, their gluten-free version. Never had such a great gluten free breaded item such as theirs. Just wowed me with the flavor and texture. Will be returning here when the desire for Chinese food springs up. A MUST try!

Arrived shortly after 7 on a Friday, seated right away. Ordered egg rolls, combo fried rice, and cashew chicken. The egg rolls were very cold inside and soft outside, which we let the waitress know at 7:55 when she appeared at our table again to say our food was almost ready. We left and had Bo Lings in our bellies within 20 minutes. Maybe the entrees are good, but that's a ridiculous wait and horrid service. The egg rolls were terrible. They seemed to be doing brisk carry out business, perhaps that is their priority on Friday evenings.

Excellent food. Very big portions. Little expensive than your typical Chinese restaurant. I wanted extra shrimp since I was sharing with my daughter. Changed my mind when he said extra shrimp is one dollar per shrimp. They do give you eight shrimp but when you're sharing you want a few more.

It takes a lot to earn a 5-star rating From me. Fortune Wok is close to earning that 5th star. Fortune Wok is comparable to Bo Ling's or P.F. Chang's in terms of quality and price. There are cheaper Chinese lunch specials out there, but you'll probably have some regret after stuffing your face with grocery store Asian food or a lunch-rush buffet, but if you eat here you will leave satisfied and won't feel guilty later. Dined here for lunch. First time I've eaten at this location. The original at 143rd & Metcalf has always been stellar. I had the Wok-roasted chicken & my friend had the Triple Delight. 2 specials & 2 drinks totaled $23, not including tip. Not busy at all during lunchtime. Our server was extremely pleasant, and didn't rush us. The decor is inviting and upscale compared to cheaper Chinese restaurants. Dining in is the way to go here. Egg Drop Soup had chunks of canned chicken breast in it and the broth was flavorful. Crab Rangoon uses the bigger wonton wrappers & was unremarkable. The sweet & sour dipping sauce is a light orange color as opposed to the day-glow fuschia at most places. I recommend the wok-roasted chicken. It is lightly fried - not breaded or deep-fried, white meat chicken in a sweet brown sauce. Even though it contains some red peppers it isn't spicy. They had a page of specials that also sounded tasty, but I don't done here enough to venture much off the tried & true menu items. If I manage to dine here more often to try new things I'm sure my 4-star will become a 5, but I'm always lured to other restaurants cheaper menus. This is a mistake. Chinese food doesn't have to be "budget" food. This place is delicious & I even took home half of my lunch special thanks to the generous portions.

Lily C.
Although the food is not that authentic, everything I've tried so far is very good! (Yes, I did come back several times!) Atmosphere and services are great, too. The portion is huge, so family style (sharing a few dishes among a few people) is the way to go. If you want to go for more authentic Chinese food, just ask for it. They have a list of things they can make, but on the menu. Some of my favorites are seafood hotpot and Peking pork ribs - sooo delicious!

Best mix of chinese and sushi i have ever had. By far the best chinese in Kansas City and where else can you have crab rangoon AND sushi :)

Brian H.
My wife and I have been frequenting this place for a few years, and have never been disappointed. We normally go during lunchtime, as the prices are too good to pass up. The food is always amazing. I normally go for the General's chicken, as the balance of sweet/sour/spicy is perfect. The service is always excellent. They might not be the friendliest, but they are very attentive and not at all rude.

Lucas A.
I love this place! This is definitely the best Chinese Restaurant in Kansas City! The atmosphere is nice and quiet and they serve great food. The Orange Chicken is great, but my favorite is the Vegetable Dumplings. They Cook them perfectly and clearly know how to make great food. Come here to get the best Chinese in town!

This may be the best Chinese restaurant in Overland Park . This is the only Chinese restaurant I like in Kansas City . Service and food is always very good. It's also very clean. . My family always gets crab rangoon , Mongolian beef and teriyaki chicken.

SO GREAT! The crab rangoon is amazing and the chicken is white meat! love it!

All the great reviews had me excited for this place. First walked through the door, it looked pretty good. When we got seated, we noticed this odd smell to which I couldn't put my finger on what it was. The food was alright. Nothing special but the service was okay. Our waitress did every but her attitude was poor. She did not looked like she wanted to be there.

We love this place, from the outside you would never know it is extrmely nice. Three favorites- wok roasted chicken, sesame chicken, and lemon chicken! The service is outstanding ...I bet your water glass will not get empty. For fun order the flaming volcano for two. This is PF changs without the drive. Give it a try

Aubrey G.
Figured their food would be just like any other Chinese restaurants and was happily surprised the variety fortune wok provided!! There firecracker chicken is seriously soo could and different with a little kick of spice but not bad at all!!! The chicken meat on the inside actually was white (not brown like some restaurants) and soft and tender !! The service was a little slow and the crab rangoons were small and not much of an appetizer but still all was delicious!

We asked Siri on our phone for the nearest Chinese Restaurant from The KU Edwards Campus was and it brought up "Fortune Wok" we were so glad it did. The food was excellent and hot. We are use to mediocre Chinese food in Lawrence, KS. most being buffets, so it was a treat to have great Chinese food for a change. We had egg rolls, crab ragoons, and Moo Shu Pork. Neither of us eat very much, so we spilt the entree, which was ample for the both of us. to eat. The crab ragoons were tasted real and the egg rolls were great, not being mostly made of cabbage. I was really impressed with our service, the server was pleasant, efficient and helpful, and extremely professional. So many times in our hometown of Lawrence, the food usually sucks, the service is hit or miss, and there is this new lack of professional from the post hip"hipster" servers whom seem to think it is cool to lack professionalism or care about their jobs. Now that Lawrence's Mass Street scene is becoming mostly a food court of cliche type restaurants , with horrid food and poor service, we have decided to just go ahead and dine out in Kansas City. It now seems like most of the Mass Street eateries are infested with so many obnoxious Topeka and Johnson County tourist, most of them obnoxiously drunk and rude...we have decided to spend our dining out money in Kansas City, since Lawrence has lost it's originality and charm it once had in dining out. If we have to be around obnoxious diners ,we might as well go to the source and eat out in Johnson County. We found the atmosphere comfortable and nicely decorated, the service was quick and the food delicious, something harder and harder to find in Lawrence, Kansas. As we were paying the check, the owner gave us a take away menu and circled the most popular dishes the restaurant had to offer. We will definitely return to eat there in the near future.

Great Chinese food and great service to match. The Happy Family is our children's favorite and I have enjoyed almost all of the selections at one time or another, but I come back to Moo Sho pork as I love their hoisin sauce and Chinese pancakes as the wrap. Always very happy with the food and Rick (the owner) is always glad to see us.

mmmmm! Maybe I decided to write this review because Im hungry, and Fortune Wok would cure my need right now.... Located off of 135th and Nieman, in a strip mall, its not very big but its very quaint, AND CLEAN. Plenty of flavor in all the dishes. What I love from here, Crab Rangoon ($4.25) Egg Rolls ($3.75) Hot N Sour Soup ($2.50) Ginger Salad ($4.50) oh man this is good, feeds about 4 peeps. Wok-Roasted Chicken ($10.95) yum-o General Tso's Chicken ($10.95) Added plus, is they have a Gluten Free Menu I like the lunch specials.... simply because its cheaper ;) Served daily from 11 to 2:30 every day except Mothers Day, psh! priced from $7.50 to $8.75 and comes with egg roll or crab rangoon, rice, and soup or salad. Soo my stomach is officially growling and at least I know what Im having for lunch tomorrow :)

You rarely see a Chinese restaurant that's well decorated, clean (including the bathrooms), offers authentic Chinese (Canton-region, ie Hong Kong style) dishes, and friendly owner. Dish offerings are limited being in the middle of nowhere (I mean Kansas) and the printed menu offers similar "Chinese dishes" should you crave for non-Chinese items. However the owner would try his best to accommodate your appetite for authentic cuisine if you call and order ahead.

Quite possibly the best Chinese food in KC. Every time I get food here, it tastes very fresh and flavorful. I typically get the orange chicken or the mongolian beef.

Sarah S.
Our go-to Chinese place in town. My husband's favorite is the peking beef and I always get the honey chicken. Its cooked very well with veggies on the side and white rice. The service is always prompt. It isn't the cheapest Chinese in town- but this is more of a sit down and eat place, they do take out too, but it definitely has a come in and enjoy ambiance.

This is my favorite Chinese food restaurant in the Kansas City area. KC isn't the best place for Chinese food either, but I consider this place a winner. It's classy, small, and has a quiet atmosphere. The wait staff is always friendly and there's always somebody there to fill up your water. The Wok Roasted Chicken is my favorite. I've never had any dish like it before. It's spicy and flavorful, and the chicken is almost always perfectly cooked and crunchy. The portions are generous, and you can almost always share a dish with someone and still be full. I've had the Crab Rangoon but it didn't really stand out to me. This place can be on the pricey side but it's definitely worth it. This would also be a great restaurant to take a date because of its cozy and upscale atmosphere.

This is our favorite Chinese restaurant and the one place all of our kids have to go to when they come home for a visit. They swear that they can't find anywhere as good in the 3 different cities they live in! Some of our favorites are the hot and sour soup, fried rice, cashew chicken, hunan beef and pad thai. We have tried a lot of the dishes though and have never been unhappy with any of them. This is a local restaurant and the owner really seems to value customer service and quality, two things we really appreciate.

The Fortune Wok was recommended by a friend. We arrived and was seated very fast. Our waiter was very pleasant and kept our water glasses full. We were skeptical about ordering off the menu as we frequently just go to Chinese buffets. But the food here was outstanding!!! I had the pineapple chicken rice with cranberries and cashews! The amount of food for the dollar was of value and enough to bring home for the next day!! Would i recommend this restaurant- Hell Yes !!! Thank you Fortune Wok for your outstanding service and food!

This restaurant was nice and food was good. When the food arrived it was hot and not medium warm. I like that about it and very tasty and a little to sweet. Also ordered was the sample plate of appetizers that was okay. If I wanted Asian food, I would go back.

A-maz-ing. I have been three or four times now and am consistently impressed with the LACK of waiting, the fresh, fabulous food and the great service. I've had their eggrolls, crab Rangoon, tempura green beans and sweet potato fries, Mongolian shrimp and scallops, brown rice, steamed white rice, fried rice, lemon chicken and orange chicken. All EXTREMELY GOOD.

The amount of food you get, paired with its amazing quality, is quite a treat! The restaurant itself is very well designed (dim lights, Chinese influence all around) and although it's small, is a pleasure to be at. The only waiter there seemed a bit rushed although there were only 2 other parties of 2 there. However he was still kind and professional. The Sake was great and within 10 minutes our food was ready. Overall a great experience!

I can't get enough of this place! This my boyfriend and I's favorite place to eat at, hands down! I'm not a huge chinese fan but I crave this place at least once a week. There's never a wait when we dine in and I especially love that booths are always available! The prices are average but the meals are HUGE so most of the time my boyfriend and I will split something along with a side of fried rice and crab rangoon. OMG their crab rangoon is amazing!! The restaurant is usually very quiet and relaxing so it isn't the most kid friendly environment. The sesame chicken is my favorite thing on the menu.

Wow, This has got to be the best Asian Cuisine I have ever had in KC. From the first visit, you know your getting high quality ingredients cooked to perfection. The staff is great, the ambiance is tranquil, & the speed in which the food comes out is unbelievable. Definitely a must-try if you haven't already!

Rylie L.
Fortune wok has been my favorite Chinese restaurant for years and no other place has come close to the quality of food or servers. Take out is awesome! I have been calling for years and have never had a mistake with my order. Dining in does not mean long waits to get a meal either. The meal comes out very quickly! It is always very hot and fresh but I strongly suggest getting garlic edamame as an appetizer! The menu has so many choices that will please anyone. Servers often help unsure guests make a decision based on their likes or dislikes. Fortune wok even has French fries and a kids menu! Anyone would be satisfied here.

Kaitlin H.
I no longer live in KC but every time I visit I have to eat at Fortune Wok. There are two locations. This location is the best. The other location makes the entrees different. I always order the Springfield Style Cashew Chicken. It is always amazing. The only time I have been disappointed is when going to the other location. The chicken is crisp and the sauce is savory. It is the closest thing to authentic Springfield Style Cashew Chicken you can find out of Springfield. The owners are always nice and friendly and it has a nice relaxing ambience. Have loved this place for years!

As someone who is gluten free, I havent had Chinese food in many years. I found reviews for here and thought I'd try it. I was pleasantly surprised! Delcious and gluten free is hard to find! I sat for about 10 minutes before I was waited on but then they upgraded my white rice to fried for free.

By far my favorite Chinese restaurant ever! They have a good selection of food, quick service, and it's great for a date night. Food is cooked fresh - there's no gross buffet for food to set for hours. I recommend the pan-fried dumplings. I don't live in the area any longer, but will always come back to visit!

You just never know what lurks behind those bland strip mall façades in Johnson County. Thanks to some recent Yelp posts I decided to check out Fortune Wok, which is not far from where I live. What a nice discovery! You step out of the parking lot into a surprisingly elegant space, most attractively decorated in modern Asian style. I ordered the Wok Roasted Chicken lunch special, with Hot and Sour Soup and an Egg Roll. The soup was very nice, although not quite as good as what I had recently at the Tea Garden, which had more assertive seasonings. The rest of the food came very attractively served on a square white plate. The Egg Roll wasn't stellar, but certainly very tasty. The Wok Roasted Chicken, however, was wonderful -- chunks of chicken sufficiently seared on the outside that they're crisp, but still tender on the inside. The chicken is served in a dark, faintly sweet and spicy sauce. Although the dish is marked spicy on the menu, it was only mildly hot. It was absolutely delicious, though. It's clear they take their cooking seriously at Fortune Wok! I'll definitely be back to try more of their food, especially since it's close to home! The lunch specials are very good deals, priced between $7.50 and $8.75. Dinner items are reasonably priced. Besides the regular menu, there is a fairly extensive selection of gluten-free dishes. This location is in the strip mall on the north side of 135th, which is easiest to enter from Nieman. Visit soon, this is a real hidden gem in outer suburbia!

Excellent dinner in a quiet environment. The Mongolian Beef is the best in town, and the bartender really knows how to make a good martini. Sit back and relax as you enjoy your dinner at a place where you can actually hear your significant-other talk (versus competing with the noise of so many places).

Kristine M.
This is some of the best Chinese food I have ever had. And yes, your water glass will NEVER be even close to halfway full because they'll keep refilling it. They're very attentive, quick, and great! Never had anything but top notch service. Went again tonight after an unusually long time away from the restaurant (unintended!) and it was even better. The portions seem to have gotten smaller, but there is still plenty to have leftovers for the next day. Eggrolls are amazing! Don't let the strip mall vibe fool you - the decor and ambience is very peaceful and welcoming.

Fortune Wok on 135th and Quivira is my JoCo go-to Chinese restaurant. It's clean, quick, convenient, economical and, most importantly, fresh and delicious. I have been a pretty regular customer at FW for at least the last five years and I don't think I have had a single bad experience. Both for take-out, as we did on Tuesday, April 3, or for dine in, the food is always served steaming hot. We started this meal, as we do most at FW, with both crab Rangoon and egg rolls. I commented to my dining companion that FW's egg rolls, when compared with other Chinese restaurants, have a higher ratio of meat to veggies. Also, the restaurant has a special dipping sauce on the tables for appetizers - a sweet sauce, but not the same as sweet and sour. They sent plenty in our to-go bag. The crab Rangoon, as always, was creamy and delicious. Somehow their center is more soft and velvety than most CR you get at other places. On this night I decided to mix it up, straying from my typical order of Yu Shang chicken, instead I opted to go with chicken Lo Mein. It was good, but I wanted the sauce to stick to the noodles more. Truthfully, I think I had order envy for my usual Yu Shang. Mmmm, just thinking about it while writing this review makes my mouth water. My one minor complaint: I don't like their fortune cookies - they're too light and flimsy. Is it me or have most Chinese restaurants changed to this type of cookie? I prefer the heavier fortune cookies, now available (in this area at least) only at Pei Wei. While we didn't dine in this time, the service is always top-notch. Will I go back? At least once or twice a month.

I went and was hoping for either real Asian food or Americanized Chinese... it was neither. The sauces were bland on both the broccoli chicken thing my fiance got, and the sweet and sour was just a sugary mess. We also tried the California roll. Too much cream cheese, not enough real crab.

Beth R.
Fortune Wok is a delight. Many of the waitress and waiters are so polite! It's always a pleasure to eat here. The Chinese food is the best I ever had. Their wok roasted chicken is crisp and flavorful as is their sesame chicken. The staff is attentive and always prompt. Lunch specials are a definite deal with a generous portion entree, sides like steamed broccoli, white or brown rice, choice of soup and choice of appetizer. You won't find a better deal. My husband and I even split lunch but I'll order an extra soup and we are both content. They also feature an assortment of gluten free entrees. Definitely stop by and trust me... You won't b disappointed!

Being Asian we are very critical about Asian restaurants. Take it from me this place is great! Service is good and they are great at making sure your glass of water or cup of tea is full. All the dishes we ordered were cooked perfectly. I recommend the combination pan-fried noodle. It has shrimp and scallops. If you can handle spicy I would recommend the beef with leeks and jalapeño.

i stopped in for lo mein and got distracted by the burrito place next door- so i reheated my lunch as dinner. it was really good i can see why the good reviews- chicken lo mein was good you CAN taste the quality in the chicken and veggies- and before you go how can a place screw that up? believe me. they can. terribly. the crab rangoon was excellent even oven reheated. will give my favorite rangoon which is Thai place a run for its money- the egg roll was tasty as well. all in all i'm very pleased the waitstaff was nice and the place was really lovely even though i just got takeout. reasonable lunch price too. have enough for 2 meals.

I wanted to go to the Tea Garden since that got great reviews but we were in Olathe on a Sunday and it isn't opened. My family was keyed up for some chinese takeout and Yelp gave this good reviews...... Very, very pleased. The hosts were very friendly and had excellent suggestions. The food (take out) was more than we expected. We had enough for leftover lunch today. The menu prices are very reasonable and the food very tasty. We had a really bad experience on a past trip by trying a random chinese restaurant and I almost swore off of chinese food after that. But this place (Fortune Wok) makes me appreciate the wonderful flavors of the orient. The decor of the place was fabulous. Very clean with a cosmopolitan asian flair. Nicely lit for a dining place. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Good job FW!!!! One thing, it is in a strip mall so it can be hard to find. Its on the right side across from the Shell station.

Fortune Wok is not your standard asian fare. Sure, the menu is fairly familiar and the recipes are not so uncommon but it is the ingredients that make this place pop. It seems as though most asian places buy their ingredients from the same suppliers. Not these guys. Their food seems so much fresher and more recognizable. The veggies are bright and crisp. The chicken is chicken, the pork is pork, and the beef is beef. No mystery meats here. UPDATE: Visited at least 30 times over the years. Fortune Wok has made the slow descent to ordinary asian food.

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city.

All the good reviews turned my husband and I unto this fantastic restaurant. Located in a strip mall you would think so so food but not true. EggDrop soup and Hot and Sour soup were the best I have ever tasted. Had the Wok Roasted Shrimp and it was out of this world. Nice size shrimp and fresh vegetables made it a hit. (I need the recipe) Would go back again in a heartbeat or for take out.

Every time I'm in the mood for delicious Chinese food (from a place that isn't a hole in the wall), I head to fortune wok. Both locations are fantastic. The restaurant is clean, modern, and the service is extremely fast. I usually order the sesame chicken, general tso's, or orange chicken. The chicken is crispy and white, unlike some of the other mystery meat you'll encounter at other Chinese restaurants. The hot and sour soup and crab rangoon are some other notable favorites. They provide extremely generous portions, and the prices are great (especially the lunch specials). I love this place and will continue visiting their locations for the best Chinese food.

this place has become our "go to" place since moving here from Texas. we have only ever gotten takeout and its always correct. sushi has been fresh and all the entrees are great. def recommend it.
(4)Eugene K.
I have finally came to a conclusion, that no other Chinese place in Kansas City is worth trying. Fortune Wok is the only place with the freshest and most delicious food, and great service. I just wish there were more people there when you are dining in. Superb!

WOK ROASTED CHICKEN! A friend turned me on to Fortune Wok's wok roasted chicken....damn is that good! I don't know how you wok roast a chicken and I don't really care. Chicken is perfect, served with a spicy sauce, peanuts, and some steamed broccoli. You get a generous portion for like $12 which is a deal! I ordered it and my wife got something else. Made the mistake of offering her an early taste of mine and once she sampled she pushed her plate aside and startied pilfering from my plate. Almost had to go prison style and use my free hand to hug that delicious chicken. The restaurant is nice, clean, and the staff is friendly. That wok roasted chicken is so good I wouldn't care if the place was a dump, dirty, and had Walter Matthau from Grumpy Old Men serving tables.

I'm not a fan of Chinese, like...at all. I'm the kind of guy that basically just ordered Chicken Fried Rice or dumplings, I will not venture further as I do not like sweet/tangy/sour flavor combinations that are generally seen in most Asian cuisine. But, Fortune Wok has the best Chicken Fried Rice ever and boy do I love their dumplings. Also, the owner remembers everyone and he's awesome. Happy with their expansion and happy they continue to do well. Given how hard it is to differentiate with American-Chinese food places in western markets, Fortune Wok definitely stands out in KC despite the appearance of being just another corner Chinese shop. Go there, be happy. Get the Peking Duck every now and then, too.
(4)C Jude S.
This is a wonderful restaurant that has some excellent dishes. My favorite is the Wok Roasted Shrimp. The sauce is perfectly-matched with the shrimp and peanuts. I've found that many of the dishes have steamed vegetables served on the side rather than included in the stir-fry. Now I was never one to believe that Chinese food was actually healthy - but maybe now it is??
(4)jaydee p.
stopped by after picking a friend at the airport- pleasantly surprised- very clean- but most of all, the food was outstanding- All our dishes were above par.... will definitely make regular trips... Still, I'm trying to get used to seeing all these 'foreign employees' working at a Asian restaurants...cleaners...gas stations...^_^
(4)James H.
Probably the best Chinese food in the Overland Park area. Caution: Portions are huge. Think PF Changs family style. 3 of us didn't know that and ordered 3 different meals. It was a ton of food. Food was delicious. I'm a big orange chicken foodie and this place was on point! Great flavor without a ton of breading to get in the way. Large pieces of chick as well. Little known fact: this place has a full service bar! They make very good mixed drinks as well.
(5)serious f.
really good quality Chinese food! Had the Chicken pad thai and the basil jalapeno beef. the Basil is Chinese basil. The owner asked if we wanted the Chinese menu and we said sure, and he wrote out a list of dishes on the normal menu for us, in Chinese characters. We asked about prices and he said $17 a dish. That would be a rip off. So don't do that. Still 5 stars though because the food is good and the prices are reasonable
(5)Melisa V.
So glad we stumbled upon this place! While what we had wasn't amazing, I think it was more a matter of ordering the wrong thing than the quality of our dishes. We ordered the wok-roasted shrimp and mu-shu chicken. The mu-shu was really good and the meat and veggies weren't shredded (and that's a good thing). Guess some presentation would have been nice, but it was tasty. The wok-roasted was a little too crispy and sweet for our liking, but it was still pretty good. Most importantly, our picky kids enjoyed the food!! We ordered a kids plate with sweet and sour chicken and subbed fried rice for the fries, plus crab rangoon. They loved the rice and crab rangoon. We will definitely be back!
(4)Tracy C.
Wonderful food, atmosphere, and service. I got the General Chicken, their gluten-free version. Never had such a great gluten free breaded item such as theirs. Just wowed me with the flavor and texture. Will be returning here when the desire for Chinese food springs up. A MUST try!
(5)Gavin Y.
Arrived shortly after 7 on a Friday, seated right away. Ordered egg rolls, combo fried rice, and cashew chicken. The egg rolls were very cold inside and soft outside, which we let the waitress know at 7:55 when she appeared at our table again to say our food was almost ready. We left and had Bo Lings in our bellies within 20 minutes. Maybe the entrees are good, but that's a ridiculous wait and horrid service. The egg rolls were terrible. They seemed to be doing brisk carry out business, perhaps that is their priority on Friday evenings.
(1)Tracy W.
Excellent food. Very big portions. Little expensive than your typical Chinese restaurant. I wanted extra shrimp since I was sharing with my daughter. Changed my mind when he said extra shrimp is one dollar per shrimp. They do give you eight shrimp but when you're sharing you want a few more.
(5)Chris B.
Simply amazing sesame chicken... It's addictive! Everything here is always fresh. Best Chinese food place in KC if you ask me.
(5)Jessica B.
It takes a lot to earn a 5-star rating From me. Fortune Wok is close to earning that 5th star. Fortune Wok is comparable to Bo Ling's or P.F. Chang's in terms of quality and price. There are cheaper Chinese lunch specials out there, but you'll probably have some regret after stuffing your face with grocery store Asian food or a lunch-rush buffet, but if you eat here you will leave satisfied and won't feel guilty later. Dined here for lunch. First time I've eaten at this location. The original at 143rd & Metcalf has always been stellar. I had the Wok-roasted chicken & my friend had the Triple Delight. 2 specials & 2 drinks totaled $23, not including tip. Not busy at all during lunchtime. Our server was extremely pleasant, and didn't rush us. The decor is inviting and upscale compared to cheaper Chinese restaurants. Dining in is the way to go here. Egg Drop Soup had chunks of canned chicken breast in it and the broth was flavorful. Crab Rangoon uses the bigger wonton wrappers & was unremarkable. The sweet & sour dipping sauce is a light orange color as opposed to the day-glow fuschia at most places. I recommend the wok-roasted chicken. It is lightly fried - not breaded or deep-fried, white meat chicken in a sweet brown sauce. Even though it contains some red peppers it isn't spicy. They had a page of specials that also sounded tasty, but I don't done here enough to venture much off the tried & true menu items. If I manage to dine here more often to try new things I'm sure my 4-star will become a 5, but I'm always lured to other restaurants cheaper menus. This is a mistake. Chinese food doesn't have to be "budget" food. This place is delicious & I even took home half of my lunch special thanks to the generous portions.
(4)Lily C.
Although the food is not that authentic, everything I've tried so far is very good! (Yes, I did come back several times!) Atmosphere and services are great, too. The portion is huge, so family style (sharing a few dishes among a few people) is the way to go. If you want to go for more authentic Chinese food, just ask for it. They have a list of things they can make, but on the menu. Some of my favorites are seafood hotpot and Peking pork ribs - sooo delicious!
(5)Peter W.
Best mix of chinese and sushi i have ever had. By far the best chinese in Kansas City and where else can you have crab rangoon AND sushi :)
(5)Brian H.
My wife and I have been frequenting this place for a few years, and have never been disappointed. We normally go during lunchtime, as the prices are too good to pass up. The food is always amazing. I normally go for the General's chicken, as the balance of sweet/sour/spicy is perfect. The service is always excellent. They might not be the friendliest, but they are very attentive and not at all rude.
(5)Lucas A.
I love this place! This is definitely the best Chinese Restaurant in Kansas City! The atmosphere is nice and quiet and they serve great food. The Orange Chicken is great, but my favorite is the Vegetable Dumplings. They Cook them perfectly and clearly know how to make great food. Come here to get the best Chinese in town!
(5)Xueying T.
I was wish to find a good Chinese restaurant but this is more like an American style Chinese food. I need to look for other authentic restaurants.
(3)Nancy F.
This may be the best Chinese restaurant in Overland Park . This is the only Chinese restaurant I like in Kansas City . Service and food is always very good. It's also very clean. . My family always gets crab rangoon , Mongolian beef and teriyaki chicken.
(5)Kathleen M.
SO GREAT! The crab rangoon is amazing and the chicken is white meat! love it!
(5)Ryan H.
All the great reviews had me excited for this place. First walked through the door, it looked pretty good. When we got seated, we noticed this odd smell to which I couldn't put my finger on what it was. The food was alright. Nothing special but the service was okay. Our waitress did every but her attitude was poor. She did not looked like she wanted to be there.
(3)Mike B.
We love this place, from the outside you would never know it is extrmely nice. Three favorites- wok roasted chicken, sesame chicken, and lemon chicken! The service is outstanding ...I bet your water glass will not get empty. For fun order the flaming volcano for two. This is PF changs without the drive. Give it a try
(5)Aubrey G.
Figured their food would be just like any other Chinese restaurants and was happily surprised the variety fortune wok provided!! There firecracker chicken is seriously soo could and different with a little kick of spice but not bad at all!!! The chicken meat on the inside actually was white (not brown like some restaurants) and soft and tender !! The service was a little slow and the crab rangoons were small and not much of an appetizer but still all was delicious!
(4)Ben M.
We asked Siri on our phone for the nearest Chinese Restaurant from The KU Edwards Campus was and it brought up "Fortune Wok" we were so glad it did. The food was excellent and hot. We are use to mediocre Chinese food in Lawrence, KS. most being buffets, so it was a treat to have great Chinese food for a change. We had egg rolls, crab ragoons, and Moo Shu Pork. Neither of us eat very much, so we spilt the entree, which was ample for the both of us. to eat. The crab ragoons were tasted real and the egg rolls were great, not being mostly made of cabbage. I was really impressed with our service, the server was pleasant, efficient and helpful, and extremely professional. So many times in our hometown of Lawrence, the food usually sucks, the service is hit or miss, and there is this new lack of professional from the post hip"hipster" servers whom seem to think it is cool to lack professionalism or care about their jobs. Now that Lawrence's Mass Street scene is becoming mostly a food court of cliche type restaurants , with horrid food and poor service, we have decided to just go ahead and dine out in Kansas City. It now seems like most of the Mass Street eateries are infested with so many obnoxious Topeka and Johnson County tourist, most of them obnoxiously drunk and rude...we have decided to spend our dining out money in Kansas City, since Lawrence has lost it's originality and charm it once had in dining out. If we have to be around obnoxious diners ,we might as well go to the source and eat out in Johnson County. We found the atmosphere comfortable and nicely decorated, the service was quick and the food delicious, something harder and harder to find in Lawrence, Kansas. As we were paying the check, the owner gave us a take away menu and circled the most popular dishes the restaurant had to offer. We will definitely return to eat there in the near future.
(5)Jeff H.
Great Chinese food and great service to match. The Happy Family is our children's favorite and I have enjoyed almost all of the selections at one time or another, but I come back to Moo Sho pork as I love their hoisin sauce and Chinese pancakes as the wrap. Always very happy with the food and Rick (the owner) is always glad to see us.
(5)Joe W.
This is the best Chinese restaurant in town. We've never had a bad experience here. The orange chicken is incredible.
(5)Raquel C.
mmmmm! Maybe I decided to write this review because Im hungry, and Fortune Wok would cure my need right now.... Located off of 135th and Nieman, in a strip mall, its not very big but its very quaint, AND CLEAN. Plenty of flavor in all the dishes. What I love from here, Crab Rangoon ($4.25) Egg Rolls ($3.75) Hot N Sour Soup ($2.50) Ginger Salad ($4.50) oh man this is good, feeds about 4 peeps. Wok-Roasted Chicken ($10.95) yum-o General Tso's Chicken ($10.95) Added plus, is they have a Gluten Free Menu I like the lunch specials.... simply because its cheaper ;) Served daily from 11 to 2:30 every day except Mothers Day, psh! priced from $7.50 to $8.75 and comes with egg roll or crab rangoon, rice, and soup or salad. Soo my stomach is officially growling and at least I know what Im having for lunch tomorrow :)
(4)Ian Y.
You rarely see a Chinese restaurant that's well decorated, clean (including the bathrooms), offers authentic Chinese (Canton-region, ie Hong Kong style) dishes, and friendly owner. Dish offerings are limited being in the middle of nowhere (I mean Kansas) and the printed menu offers similar "Chinese dishes" should you crave for non-Chinese items. However the owner would try his best to accommodate your appetite for authentic cuisine if you call and order ahead.
(4)Kevin K.
Quite possibly the best Chinese food in KC. Every time I get food here, it tastes very fresh and flavorful. I typically get the orange chicken or the mongolian beef.
(5)Sarah S.
Our go-to Chinese place in town. My husband's favorite is the peking beef and I always get the honey chicken. Its cooked very well with veggies on the side and white rice. The service is always prompt. It isn't the cheapest Chinese in town- but this is more of a sit down and eat place, they do take out too, but it definitely has a come in and enjoy ambiance.
(4)C H.
This is my favorite Chinese place. Nice employees. Great food. Love love love the orange chicken! Usually super fast service too.
(4)Sara C.
This is my favorite Chinese food restaurant in the Kansas City area. KC isn't the best place for Chinese food either, but I consider this place a winner. It's classy, small, and has a quiet atmosphere. The wait staff is always friendly and there's always somebody there to fill up your water. The Wok Roasted Chicken is my favorite. I've never had any dish like it before. It's spicy and flavorful, and the chicken is almost always perfectly cooked and crunchy. The portions are generous, and you can almost always share a dish with someone and still be full. I've had the Crab Rangoon but it didn't really stand out to me. This place can be on the pricey side but it's definitely worth it. This would also be a great restaurant to take a date because of its cozy and upscale atmosphere.
(5)Kathy M.
This is our favorite Chinese restaurant and the one place all of our kids have to go to when they come home for a visit. They swear that they can't find anywhere as good in the 3 different cities they live in! Some of our favorites are the hot and sour soup, fried rice, cashew chicken, hunan beef and pad thai. We have tried a lot of the dishes though and have never been unhappy with any of them. This is a local restaurant and the owner really seems to value customer service and quality, two things we really appreciate.
(5)Brenda A.
The Fortune Wok was recommended by a friend. We arrived and was seated very fast. Our waiter was very pleasant and kept our water glasses full. We were skeptical about ordering off the menu as we frequently just go to Chinese buffets. But the food here was outstanding!!! I had the pineapple chicken rice with cranberries and cashews! The amount of food for the dollar was of value and enough to bring home for the next day!! Would i recommend this restaurant- Hell Yes !!! Thank you Fortune Wok for your outstanding service and food!
(5)Christie F.
Definitely my favorite Chinese restaurant! Love their food and atmosphere. They have the best terriyaki chicken! I've never had a bad experience there.
(5)Peggy C.
This restaurant was nice and food was good. When the food arrived it was hot and not medium warm. I like that about it and very tasty and a little to sweet. Also ordered was the sample plate of appetizers that was okay. If I wanted Asian food, I would go back.
(4)amber k.
A-maz-ing. I have been three or four times now and am consistently impressed with the LACK of waiting, the fresh, fabulous food and the great service. I've had their eggrolls, crab Rangoon, tempura green beans and sweet potato fries, Mongolian shrimp and scallops, brown rice, steamed white rice, fried rice, lemon chicken and orange chicken. All EXTREMELY GOOD.
(5)Rebecca W.
Finally I get oriental food!! With a wide assortment of gluten free entrees and add ons I was able to find something both good tasting and filling. My husband got take out so I didn't get a chance to see the restaurant, but the food was definitely worth going back for.
(4)Sascha D.
The amount of food you get, paired with its amazing quality, is quite a treat! The restaurant itself is very well designed (dim lights, Chinese influence all around) and although it's small, is a pleasure to be at. The only waiter there seemed a bit rushed although there were only 2 other parties of 2 there. However he was still kind and professional. The Sake was great and within 10 minutes our food was ready. Overall a great experience!
(4)Lilly K.
I can't get enough of this place! This my boyfriend and I's favorite place to eat at, hands down! I'm not a huge chinese fan but I crave this place at least once a week. There's never a wait when we dine in and I especially love that booths are always available! The prices are average but the meals are HUGE so most of the time my boyfriend and I will split something along with a side of fried rice and crab rangoon. OMG their crab rangoon is amazing!! The restaurant is usually very quiet and relaxing so it isn't the most kid friendly environment. The sesame chicken is my favorite thing on the menu.
(5)Sergey S.
I have being using this place for carry out mostly. I am very happy with high quality ingredients. Fortune Wok provides great tasting Chinese food accompanied by attentive customer service. We are regulars at the restaurant and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great tasting food at a reasonable price.
(5)Anthony W.
Wow, This has got to be the best Asian Cuisine I have ever had in KC. From the first visit, you know your getting high quality ingredients cooked to perfection. The staff is great, the ambiance is tranquil, & the speed in which the food comes out is unbelievable. Definitely a must-try if you haven't already!
(5)Rylie L.
Fortune wok has been my favorite Chinese restaurant for years and no other place has come close to the quality of food or servers. Take out is awesome! I have been calling for years and have never had a mistake with my order. Dining in does not mean long waits to get a meal either. The meal comes out very quickly! It is always very hot and fresh but I strongly suggest getting garlic edamame as an appetizer! The menu has so many choices that will please anyone. Servers often help unsure guests make a decision based on their likes or dislikes. Fortune wok even has French fries and a kids menu! Anyone would be satisfied here.
(5)Kaitlin H.
I no longer live in KC but every time I visit I have to eat at Fortune Wok. There are two locations. This location is the best. The other location makes the entrees different. I always order the Springfield Style Cashew Chicken. It is always amazing. The only time I have been disappointed is when going to the other location. The chicken is crisp and the sauce is savory. It is the closest thing to authentic Springfield Style Cashew Chicken you can find out of Springfield. The owners are always nice and friendly and it has a nice relaxing ambience. Have loved this place for years!
(5)Shannon Y.
As someone who is gluten free, I havent had Chinese food in many years. I found reviews for here and thought I'd try it. I was pleasantly surprised! Delcious and gluten free is hard to find! I sat for about 10 minutes before I was waited on but then they upgraded my white rice to fried for free.
(4)Dan N.
Very good and quick friendly service loved the Sichuan shrimp an cooked exactly as I asked
(4)Matt T.
By far my favorite Chinese restaurant ever! They have a good selection of food, quick service, and it's great for a date night. Food is cooked fresh - there's no gross buffet for food to set for hours. I recommend the pan-fried dumplings. I don't live in the area any longer, but will always come back to visit!
(5)Rob M.
You just never know what lurks behind those bland strip mall façades in Johnson County. Thanks to some recent Yelp posts I decided to check out Fortune Wok, which is not far from where I live. What a nice discovery! You step out of the parking lot into a surprisingly elegant space, most attractively decorated in modern Asian style. I ordered the Wok Roasted Chicken lunch special, with Hot and Sour Soup and an Egg Roll. The soup was very nice, although not quite as good as what I had recently at the Tea Garden, which had more assertive seasonings. The rest of the food came very attractively served on a square white plate. The Egg Roll wasn't stellar, but certainly very tasty. The Wok Roasted Chicken, however, was wonderful -- chunks of chicken sufficiently seared on the outside that they're crisp, but still tender on the inside. The chicken is served in a dark, faintly sweet and spicy sauce. Although the dish is marked spicy on the menu, it was only mildly hot. It was absolutely delicious, though. It's clear they take their cooking seriously at Fortune Wok! I'll definitely be back to try more of their food, especially since it's close to home! The lunch specials are very good deals, priced between $7.50 and $8.75. Dinner items are reasonably priced. Besides the regular menu, there is a fairly extensive selection of gluten-free dishes. This location is in the strip mall on the north side of 135th, which is easiest to enter from Nieman. Visit soon, this is a real hidden gem in outer suburbia!
(4)Tyler C.
I have been going to FW for years. The owner himself will go out of his way to make your experience great. BEST CHINESE FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD. Get the Sesame Chicken.
(5)Jesse E.
Excellent dinner in a quiet environment. The Mongolian Beef is the best in town, and the bartender really knows how to make a good martini. Sit back and relax as you enjoy your dinner at a place where you can actually hear your significant-other talk (versus competing with the noise of so many places).
(4)Kristine M.
This is some of the best Chinese food I have ever had. And yes, your water glass will NEVER be even close to halfway full because they'll keep refilling it. They're very attentive, quick, and great! Never had anything but top notch service. Went again tonight after an unusually long time away from the restaurant (unintended!) and it was even better. The portions seem to have gotten smaller, but there is still plenty to have leftovers for the next day. Eggrolls are amazing! Don't let the strip mall vibe fool you - the decor and ambience is very peaceful and welcoming.
(5)Richard S.
Always great food, great to pick up and bring home. Like the spring rolls. Service is always good.
(4)Amy C.
Fortune Wok on 135th and Quivira is my JoCo go-to Chinese restaurant. It's clean, quick, convenient, economical and, most importantly, fresh and delicious. I have been a pretty regular customer at FW for at least the last five years and I don't think I have had a single bad experience. Both for take-out, as we did on Tuesday, April 3, or for dine in, the food is always served steaming hot. We started this meal, as we do most at FW, with both crab Rangoon and egg rolls. I commented to my dining companion that FW's egg rolls, when compared with other Chinese restaurants, have a higher ratio of meat to veggies. Also, the restaurant has a special dipping sauce on the tables for appetizers - a sweet sauce, but not the same as sweet and sour. They sent plenty in our to-go bag. The crab Rangoon, as always, was creamy and delicious. Somehow their center is more soft and velvety than most CR you get at other places. On this night I decided to mix it up, straying from my typical order of Yu Shang chicken, instead I opted to go with chicken Lo Mein. It was good, but I wanted the sauce to stick to the noodles more. Truthfully, I think I had order envy for my usual Yu Shang. Mmmm, just thinking about it while writing this review makes my mouth water. My one minor complaint: I don't like their fortune cookies - they're too light and flimsy. Is it me or have most Chinese restaurants changed to this type of cookie? I prefer the heavier fortune cookies, now available (in this area at least) only at Pei Wei. While we didn't dine in this time, the service is always top-notch. Will I go back? At least once or twice a month.
(5)Zina A.
I love this restaurant, the vegetables flaver is really good, it's very quite and I feel comfortable there.
(4)Layne E.
I went and was hoping for either real Asian food or Americanized Chinese... it was neither. The sauces were bland on both the broccoli chicken thing my fiance got, and the sweet and sour was just a sugary mess. We also tried the California roll. Too much cream cheese, not enough real crab.
(2)Beth R.
Fortune Wok is a delight. Many of the waitress and waiters are so polite! It's always a pleasure to eat here. The Chinese food is the best I ever had. Their wok roasted chicken is crisp and flavorful as is their sesame chicken. The staff is attentive and always prompt. Lunch specials are a definite deal with a generous portion entree, sides like steamed broccoli, white or brown rice, choice of soup and choice of appetizer. You won't find a better deal. My husband and I even split lunch but I'll order an extra soup and we are both content. They also feature an assortment of gluten free entrees. Definitely stop by and trust me... You won't b disappointed!
(5)Nikki W.
It says they deliver, however when we called the guy who answered said they never have. Okay so maybe they need to fix this?
(1)Micquie M.
Best Chinese food! High quality, fresh food. The owners are so kind and attentive. We mostly do take out!
(5)Richard A.
Being Asian we are very critical about Asian restaurants. Take it from me this place is great! Service is good and they are great at making sure your glass of water or cup of tea is full. All the dishes we ordered were cooked perfectly. I recommend the combination pan-fried noodle. It has shrimp and scallops. If you can handle spicy I would recommend the beef with leeks and jalapeño.
(5)steve f.
really liked this place... the service was not good but the food was. had some Moo Shu chicken that was really, really good.
(4)Julie B.
This is very good Chinese food. I am a fan of the wok-roasted chicken and the pad thai. I usually can go there for lunch and the staff is always prompt in getting my food. The food always tastes very fresh. Nice Decor, I would recommend it to anyone.
(5)Michelle G.
i stopped in for lo mein and got distracted by the burrito place next door- so i reheated my lunch as dinner. it was really good i can see why the good reviews- chicken lo mein was good you CAN taste the quality in the chicken and veggies- and before you go how can a place screw that up? believe me. they can. terribly. the crab rangoon was excellent even oven reheated. will give my favorite rangoon which is Thai place a run for its money- the egg roll was tasty as well. all in all i'm very pleased the waitstaff was nice and the place was really lovely even though i just got takeout. reasonable lunch price too. have enough for 2 meals.
(4)Tracy B.
I wanted to go to the Tea Garden since that got great reviews but we were in Olathe on a Sunday and it isn't opened. My family was keyed up for some chinese takeout and Yelp gave this good reviews...... Very, very pleased. The hosts were very friendly and had excellent suggestions. The food (take out) was more than we expected. We had enough for leftover lunch today. The menu prices are very reasonable and the food very tasty. We had a really bad experience on a past trip by trying a random chinese restaurant and I almost swore off of chinese food after that. But this place (Fortune Wok) makes me appreciate the wonderful flavors of the orient. The decor of the place was fabulous. Very clean with a cosmopolitan asian flair. Nicely lit for a dining place. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Good job FW!!!! One thing, it is in a strip mall so it can be hard to find. Its on the right side across from the Shell station.
(4)Mike B.
Fortune Wok is not your standard asian fare. Sure, the menu is fairly familiar and the recipes are not so uncommon but it is the ingredients that make this place pop. It seems as though most asian places buy their ingredients from the same suppliers. Not these guys. Their food seems so much fresher and more recognizable. The veggies are bright and crisp. The chicken is chicken, the pork is pork, and the beef is beef. No mystery meats here. UPDATE: Visited at least 30 times over the years. Fortune Wok has made the slow descent to ordinary asian food.
