    Lomein, fried rice and inedible beef broccoli
    Bridget T.

    I've struggled with doing this review for a few weeks now and I came to conclusion that it has to be said. I'm not a huge fan of buffets however since the birthday girl chose this place I went along with it. Upon arriving we were greeted and told to pick a seat. The place is rather outdated nothing at all to brag about. Being greeted by the man at the entrance was the absolute best part of the service from here on out. We placed our drink orders which were way overpriced but anywho we then proceeded to see what was available on the buffet. I was shocked by the fact there was no orange chicken, or sesame or garlic chicken because this is a Chinese buffet correct? I settled for egg drop soup, crab Rangoons, fried rice and sweet sour chicken. The rice, rangoons and soup were the best things that were offered on the buffet. The chicken was dry and tough and honestly nothing on the buffet seemed fresh. My grandson got pizza, smoked sausage and lomein off the buffet and the only edible thing on his plate was the lomein. The available items on the buffet were not what I would have imagined and everything looked leftover and poorly prepared. Still celebrating we then thought Oh let's try fruit and dessert which was no better. Unripened grapes with seeds, oranges hard and not sweet, jello tough and hard no jiggle at all (in my grandsons voice) and the banana pudding was more like slop and cookies. Overall this was a complete waste of $86 and the birthday girl who turned 73 by the way was so disappointed that she chose this place when there were so many other options. We had enough so we asked for our check. We received it placed the money on the clip she brought the change back and proceeded to stand there. We're allowing the birthday girl to open her cards and gift. The woman then asks "no tip?" Mind you no matter how bad the food is we always leave a tip and we had intended to leave a minimal tip considering we served ourselves and the only thing this woman had done was brought out 5 drinks which she didn't even have to refill and it's rude to ask for a tip while people are still talking or drinking etc. I asked for a to go cup and the woman pouted, walked off and never came back. Hopefully she was gathering cleaning supplies to clean up the women's bathroom as it was a disgusting mess. Needless to say I made the executive decision to remove the tip as there was absolutely nothing tip worthy about the food or service.

    A lady snapping the fresh green beans. Very nice.

    Flaming buffet is a great value for the price. They have your trash frozen chicken nuggets and wontons like every place, but they also have plenty of vegetables and other options. During my last visit I saw a lady snapping the fresh green beans. There is even a bar where you can make a stir fry bowl and a guy will sear it up for you. My only two complaints are the weird programming they have on tv and the overall cleanliness and experience. They chose tv channels like CNN and charity infomercials that seems to be a subliminal signal to leave. Also the place could be just more clean, buckets of food less sloppy, better forks, better quality vegetables, etc.

    Im surprised at how low rating this location has but im happy we secided to try it out . As soon as you walk inn the place was super packed and we had to wait, to my surprise it wasnt long at all . They had alot of different variety of food and it all was delicious. The server was very attentive and kept our drinks refilled best fried shrimp ive had full of flavor the ambiance was nice but it was full so a bit loud ,something i dont mind at all will be going again

    The decadent side of me really digs this place! This place has a great selection of food items to choose from and honestly is sure to please almost any palate. I like to start at their Mongolian grill station and choose my items that will be going into my stir fry. While it is cooking I usually go make myself a plate of chilled shrimp & cocktail sauce, a few crab Rangoon, and an egg roll. Then I go back to the grill station and pick up my creation. That is round 1. Round 2 typically is more shrimp, some sweet and sour chicken, and a gyoza or two. Then comes round 3, yes, the decadence continues... Round 3 is typically a fruit and or dessert round. I love their almond cookies, and add to that a selection of pineapple and watermelon and I am pretty much ready to mail it in.

    See that mold? Do you wanna bite into that like I did for only 10% ($3) back and a stomach ache?
    Mina O.

    First time eating at flaming buffet and it was the first time I bit into molded dessert as well. Everything was yummy until I tasted the sour, bitter, disgusting mold on the top of my palette. I can't even tell you that the oysters and other foods were alright because the aftereffects of eating the mold. We paid 11.99/ person for all that, molded dessert and a stomach ache. Eat at your own risk.

    Meh.

    The food was cold, the salmon doesn't taste good, the dumplings were cold. The service was poor, I would never recommend this place.

    Fortune House is located on Greenville Avenue, which is a major entertainment district in Dallas…read more This area has a lot of restaurants, bars, boutique stores and music venues. It was difficult to find parking! We persevered and found free parking within walking distance of Fortune House. Lively atmosphere and the soup dumplings are delicious! We had to place additional orders because they were THAT good. We sampled: - Crab rangoon - Pork xiao long bao (soup dumplings) - Beef noodle soup - Fish filet with wine sauce - Zha jiang mian (fried sauce noodles) - Wonton soup - Fried rice I uploaded 32 photos, although I'm pretty sure Yelp won't include them all with my review.

    The dumplings are the reason I keep coming back. I've honestly only ordered the dumplings here,…read moreand every single time they're a hit. It's been three times now! Perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and the kind of dish you immediately start craving again a few days later. I can't speak much to the rest of the menu because once I find something this good, I stick with it. My only complaint has nothing to do with the restaurant but parking in Greenville can be a challenge. But the dumplings are absolutely worth the effort. If you're visiting for the first time, do yourself a favor and order the dumplings. I'll definitely be back for them again.

    The customer service here is so friendly and sweet, you feel welcome from the moment you walk in…read more My fiancé and I grabbed a booth this time, but I couldn't help noticing the tables with giant lazy Susans throughout the dining room. This place is absolutely made for a group outing, and we're already planning to come back with a group to take full advantage. The food was a delight. The Singapore noodles had this wonderful curry flavor that I absolutely loved, and the combo fried rice was just as satisfying. We also ordered the Peking duck (P1 on the menu). It was good, though not quite as flavorful on its own as we'd hoped. That said, once you load it up with the hoisin, cucumber, and spring onions, it all comes together beautifully. The bao buns that came with it were soft and delicious, honestly a highlight. We also sipped on hot jasmine tea throughout, which was the perfect, refreshing complement to the whole meal. A solid spot with great vibes, tasty dishes, and room to grow on us even more with a return visit.

    Cute little mom and pop show with affordable prices and good food! I wish the servers understood us…read moremore though bc I think they had a hard time when we were ordering. The bbq pork and roasted pork was okay. The bbq pork was lacking flavor and the roasted pork was not very juicy. Overall, we liked majority of our dishes. There was a few that lacked flavor but we would come back to try other dishes!
