Freshest Chinese food I've ever eaten! Fast and friendly service too! Spicy fish is a big hit with our family.

Ordered the war wonton soup. It was a good portion of chicken, wontons, a few shrimp, tasty veggies and the broth was good tasting.

Love the food and atmosphere. Service is fast and friendly. One star less because lettuce in fried rice is a no.no for me. read more

Fortune Cookie Chinese Restaurant - Chicken Chop Suey with Price or date tag. - Chinese Near Me - Exeter, California

We went here about 10 days ago (from Porterville) to try their food for an upcoming family dinner.... Chinese food had been requested and the place that we normally go to here in town is not good anymore. We were very impressed with the food, the wait staff, and most of all the cleanliness of the restaurant. It is really hard to find clean and well maintained restaurants anymore, and this one definitely was clean and well maintained. Fast forward a week, and it was time to order the food for our party of 10 to bring home for our family celebration. I called the day before to place the order and the staff member that was taking my order was very sweet and was recognizing that I may have been ordering too much food, so she asked if she could have the chef call me back in a while to help me with the amounts that I would need. Wow! I was so impressed.....so a little while later the chef called me back and we got the order placed and he gave me our total, and he told me the food would be ready at the time that I needed it the following day. My husband arrived a few minutes early in case the food was early so that it wouldn't sit and get cold. He was told it would be ready shortly, and sure enough, RIGHT AT our arranged time, our food was brought to the front, and even with a 25 minute drive home it was hot, still crispy and DELICIOUS!!!!! Service 5 stars Food 5 stars Cleanliness 5 stars Helpfulness in catering order 100 stars!!!!!! We plan to make this a monthly lunch date, and will absolutely order for family dinners again! THANK YOU Fortune Cookie! read more

It was a good restaurant. The food was good and the service was quick. I had sweet and sour pork. The pork was crunchy but I could tell that they used frozen pork. The bread on the pork was kind of sparse. The sauce was good though and the chowmein noodles was ok. The price was ok too. read more

Nice, clean neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Food is great and service excellent. I eat here a couple times a month at least. Always takeout. read more

We love this spot! The food is always fresh, the service is fast and we always go home with leftovers because the portions are very generous. read more

This is hands down mine & my boyfriends favorite Chinese food place!! Their orange chicken is beyond divine. I love that it's chicken breast and not "chicken nugget" style! Fried rice, noodles, egg flower soup SO GOOD! And we love the employees and the owner. Such nice people and they always keep things moving! Overall we're obsessed and will continue coming here!! read more

The food was very dry. The Chicken did not taste good. The rice was not fully cooked. Both plates I got were disappointing

I ordered the honey walnut shrimp and it was so disgusting it was battered shrimp cover in what looked like mayonnaise and had no flavor to it.....i have no idea what that sauce was but it was not even nice to look at. ....the orange chicken is really good that was the only plus. read more

Fortune Cookie Chinese Restaurant - Mayonnaise covered shrimp....i mean honey walnut shrimp....yuck - Chinese Near Me - Exeter, California

YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM This place could not be better! We found it in our hotel's listing of places to go, and their ad says they have great food at reasonable prices. They did not lie. They were so amazing we went there twice during our 3 day trip in the area. They have a great menu. Lots of chow mein, egg foo young and other dishes you would expect from a Chinese restaurant. They are in a strip mall location, and they don't have much in the way of decor, but they were busy, and do a lot of take out business. The restaurant was filled with locals, another good sign that we were in the right place. The food was clearly freshly prepared (I love it when the broccoli is a beautiful dark green and the carrots a bright orange, you can tell they haven't been in a freezer) and served steaming hot. The portions were huge and everything was cooked perfectly. My only complaint is that their 2 person dinner special, while a good deal, was a little too heavy on the pork dishes for my taste. But, as they have an excellent menu, this wasn't an issue. Next time we are in the area, a return trip is a guarantee!!!!! read more

very good Chinese food and not greasy like the typical Chinese takeouts! Will order again and definitely recommend it!

Great food and service! Try the cream cheese wontons because they are super yummy!! The prices are good & the menu has tons of stuff. I literally wanted to try it all. read more

So good and worth the drive from Visalia!! We loved everything!! Highly recommend the spicy fish

This is my new local go to spot. The noodle soups are where it's at.. I usually get the cheapo combos but decided to try out the noodle soups.. 4visits later within 2 weeks I'm hooked on them. Super hot, tasty broth, great texture on the noodles and an abundant amount of crunchy tasty vegetables and meat. Best Chinese in Exeter and maybe Visalia. Staff is friendly, one worker is someone I recognize from when I use to eat at cantons and she's super friendly and attentive. My 1 and only gripe (which is trivial). Is that they do not have real spicy chili oil, but the paste works also read more

Love this place! Not only if the food great, but the serving sizes are good and the prices are very reasonable!

Been here several occasions at various times. Hostess is efficient and friendly, and the food is ready in a reasonable amount of time. I've had honey walnut shrimp several times, and it never disappoints. Worth your while if you are in the area. read more

Many years ago I dined here and didn't enjoy the food, so I wasn't exactly doing somersaults when my husband suggested having dinner here tonight. I caved and let him have his way, and promised to leave my negative attitude about this place at home. We arrive shortly after 5 and it's pretty empty. It's a very small restaurant, without much aesthetics. Our server comes over immediately to drop off menus, and take our drink order. We took a liking to her and the owner (who also came to our table a few times) right away. They were both very pleasant, bubbly, and made us feel right at home. We decided to start with the cream cheese wontons. They came out fast, and were fresh and hot. My only minor complaint was that they weren't crispy at all despite being heavily fried. They were not lacking in flavor in the least though. Next came my cup of egg flower soup. It was pretty good, but a little different than any other I've had before. It was much thicker and also contained potatoes, which I've never seen done. Next came our family style plates; seasme chicken, egg foo young, beef chow mein, and chicken fried rice. The seasme chicken was damn good, the sauce amazing, and the fresh veggies were cooked perfectly. The chicken was pounded thin, lightly breaded and fried. The egg foo young was just ok, the patties were pretty thick, and the gravy was lacking flavor. The fresh veggies that topped the dish was wonderfully crisp though. The beef chow mein was delicious! Nice tender strips of steak mixed in. Not too oily, or spicy. The chicken fried rice was also tasty. We ordered a to go meal for my son of the orange chicken. He honestly hated this dish. Said it was overkill with citrus. Only ate a few pieces. It looked very yellow like a lemon chicken dish. The best part of dining here is the friendly service and the seasme chicken. It was a decent experience compared to the one I had years ago when they were newly opened. While I'd much rather eat myself into an MSG coma at Lum Lums in Visalia, this place will do if I don't want to make the drive. Most of their menu is better than Mandarin house in my opinion. Woth a visit to see for yourself. My husband absolutely loved it here. read more

See all

By far the freshest, most flavorful Chinese food in the area. Fantasy is an impeccable waitress and now remembers our names and favorite drinks! Last night the kung pao chicken was outstanding. We always have the cream cheese wontons too! The best chow mein I've EVER had!! This place is a quiet little restaurant with exceptional Chinese food and super fast service!! We won't return to the Chinese restaurant on Main Street in Exeter. Fortune Cookie is THAT good!! read more

Good Chinese food. The chow mien was great, orange chicken yummy, honey walnut shrimp not nearly as good as PF Chang's. I definitely recommend this restaurant but maybe not the honey walnut shrimp :) read more

I could only eat 1/4 of the meal. The noodles were pretty good but the pork fried rice seemed off. Chicken and vegetables were just ok. My husband got sick, think it was the msg. read more

Really good! Great value ! I'd definitely eat here again. Looks a little dated inside but the service was nice!

Amazing Chinese food in town no need to drive all the way to dinuba for Chinese food anymore I love this place

Best Chinese restaurant in town! Such great food and service was amazing! It under new management and they are doing a great job. No need to drive to Visalia anymore for good Chinese food! read more

I have ate Fortune Cookie a few times and each time the food was very good. The service was great. The ambiance... well, let's just say that you are going for the food and not the ambiance. read more

Ok so we went out to eat tonight. Which isnt always fun with a kid with autism adhd n o.d.d. we always have to leave early. But we went out to this lovely place in my town where the staff was just so kind and understanding with my son. He was standing most of the time and flapping his arms real fast as he does this constantly and it didnt bug them one bit. I said im sorry its hard for him just to sit still. N they said honey he aint no problem. Let him be him he aint bugging none os us. At any other place they would have asked us to leave. Not this place. Our new favorite restaurant in town :) 5 stars all the way!!!!! Not to mention food was excellent.... But for reals food was beyond excellent staff was excellent n you got so much food on your plate read more

Got some BBQ pork fried rice, curry chicken chow mein, chicken fried rice and BBQ beef skewers. I loved the pork fried rice and beef skewers. The beef skewers seemed to be marinated in chili oil, but was not overwhelming. They outdid themselves :) read more

So apparently they are under new ownership now. This place used to have the best Chinese food, can't say the same for it now. Ordered the sesame chicken which is supposed to be thin sliced crispy chicken tossed in tangy sauce. It used to be the absolute best item on their menu. Now it's just some poor excuse for orange chicken with some sesame seeds tossed on top. Their chow-main wasn't that great either, didn't think something so simple could be messed up so badly but they succeeded in excess. Definitely not impressed and will not be eating at the establishment again. This place should be renamed Misfortune cookie... Just saying. read more

Fantasic! Service was very friendly and very efficient! We were in town visiting from Vegas. The one thing that excited me was the flavor was of new england style chinese. Being a native New Englander that's hard to find anywhere else outside NE. Wish this place was in Vegas! Food was hot and we didn't wait long. Definitely recommend thos place! read more

Apparently they are under new ownership. The food was so much better than before. The employees are so friendly and give great service. The Wor Wonton soup was the best I've had in a long time. I would definitely recommend the fortune cookie to others in Exeter. It has the best Chinese food in town. read more

I have been waiting to find a good Chinese food place in Exeter and this place fits the bill. Delicious food served quickly with flavor you know are freshly made. The orange chicken was different than most places but man you can taste the orange its awesome. My Mongolian beef was equally good and I can tell you we will be back here soon! read more

Yummy! Located on the west side of Exeter and serving up a great variety of fresh dishes that will be sure to delight the taste buds.

Well let's see,this "Chinese restaurant" has the worst employees ever!They are extremely rude and I've never seen any of them smile,they look in awe when they don't get a tip and I just sit their and laugh.The food is absolutely repulsive and far over priced. And the restaurant its self is a small and not decorated whatsoever,a pathetic excuse for a Chinese restaurant. read more

Delicious food and excellent service. Will definitely be back! Pork fried rice was amazing! Shrimp and broccoli was good too. Our server Stella was so friendly and service was fast. read more

The food is delicious...I used to not care for it but tried it again since they said new ownership and I find myself craving it! The staff are so friendly, its small and feels like a small town find...exactly what I like... I definitely recomend! read more

Fortune Cookie is an amazing place to go for some amazing Chinese food. The restraunt is not that big, but you can still go and dine in with a couple of friends. the atmosphere is nice, quiet, and it has good vibes. The staff is very nice and welcoming. If something is wrong they will be gladly to fix it, but rarely anything is wrong. They know me every time I call because they already know my order, which shows how much I love going there. They never fail to satisfy me! If you are craving amazing Chinese food, you should definitely go to Fortune Cookie for their great food and service. They are quick to serving and your food is always served hot. I have been to multiple places that serve Chinese food and they do not compare to Fortune Cookie at all ! FORTUNE COOKIE IS AMAZING ! read more
