super yummy food and great portions also the very affordable as well :D it reminds me of NYC chinese food

Always fast service and delicious. Small place attached to RoyalTea so not a lot of seating inside.

Got a flier on my doorstep. I have always notice that this place was coming to town but it seems like it took forever for it to finally open. Got the meal for 2, wonton soup, sesame chicken & shrimp chow mein. It was delivered so fast. The food was really good and tasted so very fresh & the sesame chicken was so crispy. The chow mein was real good but the wonton soup was sorta bland. The need to add more seasoning to it. I make a killer wonton soup at home, its not hard to do. lol Id order from them again. Glad to see that they finally opened, right across the street from Washington High School. They are in a real small building. Not made to really eat at but to get stuff to go / delivered. read more

Wow! What a turnaround. I don't know what has happened, but I've been there four times in the past month and have been very pleased. They are no longer rude. The portions are now of a decent size and the food tastes as I would have expected. We'll see if they can maintain this renewed level of quality and attitude. I have my fingers crossed! read more

super good food!! my favorite chinese spot in fremont! very underrated! i come here often! connected to a tea spot!

I have avoided this place for years... Why you ask? A fast food chinese place across the street from a high school (WHS) and it's cartoonish paint job. I just assumed it would be junk food. One night we popped in for takeout, Very very tiny place that shares it's space with a tea shop. They cook to order, So that was good. Went home and I was surprised the food was pretty good. So props to them. We ordered Chow Mien, egg rolls and Broccoli Beef all were good. I would try them again! read more

Affordable Prices Quality of Food Quantity of Food Service fast Every thing 5 stars!!! read more

This place is so affordable and you'd definitely get your money's worth. I got their all day lunch special with Mongolian beef. It was really good and the food came out really quick. Rice portions were generous and the entree portions were decent. It's in the same spot with Royal Tea so you can grab boba too! read more

Today I came into Fortune cookie to place an order to go. first of all , the customer service was absolutely terrible. the man working was very unwelcoming. not to mention my food was hot and cold. some pieces of chicken hot some cold like it was in the refrigerator. I took two bites and had to throw my food away. A WASTE OF MONEY AND FOOD. I don't recommend AT ALL. Sad to say panda was better than this place. read more

My daughter who is only 13 had the worst experience here. She ordered or at least tried to order shrimp fried rice and the lady lied and said they don't have it. My daughter's friend ordered the same dish like 30 mins back. On top of it, the lady was rude and super mean. My daughter said she could barely hear her and so she misheard and asked again for the shrimp fried rice and the lady just slammed the card on the counter back to her and gestured for her to go. Including that, she was also racist. We know this because she treated the next white person with a 180 attitude change and was very welcoming and polite. Also not to mention the food is horrible, the garlic chicken we ordered was indeed NOT garlic chicken. It looked disgusting too, the chicken and vegetable ratio was horrible and it was like they just put a bunch of sweet sauce all over it. Do not frequent this establishment, unless you like being treated like trash! read more

They had 51 mins to closing and the moment I entered, the lady at the counter asked if I want food! Hahaha yes, I want food if not what else! They denied to take order apart from steam rice. I like the food here but service sucks. read more

The food is good, but they've jacked the prices up and an order that would come to $25-30 ends up being $60 with all the fees they tack on. I really hate that due to the fact their food is really good. read more

Here's why they're getting such high marks: Door dash delivered the wrong meal to us. I called the dasher who placed the blame on Fortune Cookie and said he could do nothing about it. I decided to call Fortune Cookie directly. They immediately apologized and remade our meal at no charge. We had to pickup but that's ok. It was excellent. It's my first time trying them and I'm very pleased. I'll definitely order from them again read more

Worst place. Very rude customer service. Food is stale and answered when I asked for chili sauce. Never going there again!

Go for their fried rice!!! Whenever we do order from here we tend to order their beef, egg and chicken fried rice.

Yo! This food gave us the shiiiiiiits! Idk why none of you egg heads couldn't have told us that in the reviews before we ordered. Talking about greasy food and breaded chicken. How bout, this crap makes lava come out of your butt? That would have been a helpful review. We ordered Mongolian beef, orange chicken, fried rice, rangoon, and egg foo young to go. $45 dollars, hoes. My dad and I both ate and had to run to the bathroom, he also threw up, I held mine in like a champ, but now writing this I have mixed feelings. Yeeeesh. I debated writing this, but come on man. Don't serve old food or leave food out all day! I just wanted some Chinese food, not a hot shower on my bum to reduce the sting. Two stars because they provided sweet and sour sauce and the food was hot. (It's still hot in my stomach) read more

My go to Chinese food spot in Fremont ! Food is always ready within 15 minutes ! Such an easy process placing my order over the phone ! Highly recommend this place for your next Chinese take out ! read more

Ive only ate here a few times. I usually just get the same dish, haha. The first time i ordered from here, i got the beef with chow mein. This was okaaaay. I personally thought it was salty. Well my friend got the mongolian beef woth chow mein, which looked more tasty so i got that the next time i came. She told me to tell them to make it less salty. Mongolian beef, less salty + added green onions: 5/5 ! Much better and flavorful. I add in some chilli too bc i like spice. Their service is fast (i call ahead) and theyre very nice people! Definitely will be trying their other dishes in the near future. *theyre a hole in the wall place, shared with Royal Tea. Right across from Washington High School! read more

This place kinda sucks. I had tried it before and after Covid came to town so that's not the reason the fall short. They fall short because their food is weak. Their fried rice was barren of many ingredients commonly found in fried rice dishes. Their chow mein was equally disappointing. Maybe it's just my luck the few times I tried them but the staff seemed like they would have rather been at the dentist than there. The establishment itself is pretty confusing. It's a take out place inside a tea shop. Hey, I get it. It's the bay area, rent is outrageously bad everywhere and I'd share a space with someone too to help the cause. I have to believe they're trying their best so 2 stars I give, but only 2. They have a ways to go. read more

Solid place for American-style Chinese food and shares a spot with Royaltea. Their rice plate combos are filling and worth the price. I really enjoyed their fried rice option on the plate and thought it was definitely one of the better cheaper fried rice options in Fremont. Sesame chicken was pretty good. The rest of the al carte menu was about average. I didn't think their salt and pepper fish or spareribs were anything special. Their green beans were about average. Overall, good place for the rice plate and lunch specials; you can find better places for the rest of your American-style Chinese cravings. read more

It's a tiny place with good food. What more do you need?

Great food you get a lot of food for what you pay for leftovers fast service but it's cold inside waiting for your food or drink

Very nice location for the fried rice I really enjoy this type of dish ingredients were very fresh and nicely made the location was clean and neat customer service is good read more

Fortune Cookie is perhaps the best takeout Chinese food in the greater Bay Area; additional, the customer service is undoubtedly par-excellent. The owners are really sweet spirited people, super gracious, and willing to engage in conversation how about that! That never happens at 90% of Chinese restaurants I've visited. The food the food the food is nothing short of spectacular!! In essence, it's old school throw back Chinese food from the 70s and 80s. This food takes me back to a really good time in my life.growing up in West and North Oakland Ca. I compare Fortune Cookie to restaurants the likes of On-Luck in downtown Oakland's Chinatown, Eastern City Cafe in North Oakland, and Harbor View in The city of Alameda. These aforementioned restaurants set the stage for how Chinese food is suppose to taste SUPER FRESH!!! Fortune Cookie has the best egg foo young I've ever tasted bare none, the gravy that it's served with is nothing short of sensational!! It has just enough garlic whereby is not overwhelming. The sweet and sour prawns Ooh Wee the absolute best money can buy; however, the only drawback they don't put pineapples in this dish but they do put my favorite bell peppers in it. The prawn fried rice is absolute old school just incredible. We also had the broccoli chicken which was also super succulent, big hunks broccoli and carrot slices really topped the dish off. My entire meal came out to $58.96 US I only brought a $50 bill US. I attempted to pay the remaining balance on my debit card, the owner said no I will take care of the balance. Not only is the food ridiculously good but owners are top notch people. This review has been a long time coming. I give my highest rating of 10 stars. Thank you for listening read more

Almost 11 years of patronizing this place has come to an end after I found a strand of hair in my food. Goodbye forever, Fortune Cookie!

Something about this place doesn't sit right with me. I came in here a while ago for take out. I put my order in by phone. I had the menu up online while placing my order. I ordered a lunch sweet and sour pork, a lunch lemon chicken, and a vegetable chow mein. I knew the lunch price was around $7 per their online menu, and the chow mein was $8. They told me it would be about 10 minutes, so I left right away. I got there and I saw my order already prepared on the table. I wanted to pay with card, but they told me they don't take card? Nothing online said they didn't take card. Anyways, I got there and the lady that was helping me told me $30. It was $30 even, no change...? Luckily, I had cash in my wallet so I paid with cash. She didn't give me a receipt, but I had to ask for one because it was going to be a business expense. She wrote up some quick wording in an order ticket, and just put "$30" at the bottom and circled it... After I gave this lady cash, she PUT IT IN HER POCKET. Like really? Whatever. The food wasn't special. The sweet and sour pork was over breaded. The rice was way too greasy. And the chow mein was swimming in oil where we couldn't use the same plate anymore. This place seems kind of shady. I think they just make up prices when you get there knowing some people won't question it. I wouldn't come here again. read more

The food has no taste. I feel like I have covid while eating this. Good size portions but don't think I will save for later.

Hands down one of the BEST Chinese food I've ever had. I'm very picky on what Chinese food restaurant I'll eat at, but fortune cookie was definitely delicious and seasoned perfectly! Definitely recommend to others! read more

the food i ordered has my tummy feeling gross and nauseous after eating currently suffering , save yourself the trouble and the bad oily , cross contaminated food. service sucks anyways not worth it at all for any pains read more

WTF, Yelp? Over the weekend, we logged on to Yelp specifically to order delivery from Fortune Cookie but the right column where the ordering would happen is blocked by ads. I logged on now to see if it was still blocked and it is. Fortune cookie's page on Yelp specifically says Yes on Delivery - but Yelp is making it impossible to place an order here. Is Yelp going to quit processing delivery orders (and give up what is, no doubt, a source of revenue)?? I've been on Yelp for a loooong time (Yelp Elite 2007) and I'm disgusted to see that Yelp is becoming more and more useless every day. SMDH! read more

This is my place to go to. Food is very good and done quickly. I love there orange chicken and chicken chow fun. The best!!! Great customer service!! read more

The food is always delicious and the portions are generous. The food is always nice and hot and VERY tasty

Ordered take out but this is a serious health and safety problem needs to be dealt with. Bait and switching on ingredients is a very serious problem. This restaurant needs to know you can't do that. Especially when people have food allergies. First off I ordered honey walnut with prawns. But the nuts were cashews. I ordered broccoli with bean curd. It wasn't bean curd it was soft tofu. Bean curd is tofu but it aged with a very firm texture and is brown on the outside and a cream color on the inside. If a restaurant doesn't have a certain ingredient then pull some stuff off the menu instead of profiting off of people's lives being in danger. Shame on you guys this is not cool. No fortune for you. And you would think they make fortune cookies right on site homemade fresh. Nope it's bought from another vendor. This place is a joke. read more

Fortune Cookie - Bait and switching is a major no no in the restaurant business. They are putting people's lives at risk for doing so. Don't buy from here. - Chinese Near Me - Fremont, California

Annoyed with recent experiences with Panda on Walnut, we gave Fortune Cookie a repeat visit for carryout on a Saturday evening. The online order placement was easy, but no food descriptions are provided. The food was ready on arrival, but I had to be assertive about getting it, as I was ignored in favor of newly ordering customers. The bag was cheerfully handed over, though. A dinky, grungy spot. We ordered hot and sour soup, vegetable chow menu, lemon chicken.General Tsao's chicken, egg rolls and steamed rice. The soup was excellent! The noodles were well-flavored but the vegetables soft to the point of mushy. The lemon chicken was better than previously in that it wasn't swimming in sauce, but no actual lemons seen. The general's chicken is listed as hot and spicy. It was very bland. All 3 items tasted of old oil and there were gastric responses later.....Portions were generous. read more

Now I know why the 2 stars. The portions and prices are fine but the food is lacking. The house fried rice had 3 kinds of meat but just had no flavor. Some of the chicken was wierd in texture and kinda gross. The brocoli beef and chow mien same story. The egg rolls had little or no filling. I think the only good thing were the dumplings. They only have take out. read more

Fortune Cookie - Walnut prawn but really is cashew ?? FAIL - Chinese Near Me - Fremont, California

Tonight's dinner is our first and final for this place. I've never tasted any Chinese food so SALTY until tonight. We ordered the 'Salt and Pepper Pork', 'Black Pepper Beef', and 'Chicken Rice Noodle', and OMG they all looked BROWN. Was the chef soy sauce-happy or what? And how long has it been since they changed that oil for frying all of their stuffs? I've attached some photos for your reference. Swear to God that we didn't add soy sauce or anything else to the dishes. I picked up the food because I didn't want to wait 45 minutes for the delivery. read more

They have really good Chinese food, especially for Fremont. Lived here 33 years and it's really hard to find a decent Chinese food place, so I'm glad to have found them. Orange chicken is great, veggies they offer are really good, even the kids like it all. Will definitely order from here again read more

I will start at the outset and admit that the standard chinese fare that used to be one of my favorites before, is now a once a year experience I try just to remind myself of why I don't eat it. This weekend in March was my day to do that checkmark. We ordered delivery. The person taking down the order spoke good english, a plus. The food arrived in less than the promised 30 min another plus. I am vegetarian and so my choices were limited - we got the fried rice..which I didn't try because it had egg and I forgot to tell them to hold it. We also got the veggie chowmein, mixed veggies and the pan fried beans. It was the standard chinese fare - nothing that would make me want to go back. One huge negative for me was that it had an excessive amount of garlic and I was reeking to myself for a day after...blehhh.... Well nothing else to say about it. read more

I'd give Fortune Cookie 2.5 stars. I was craving Chinese food, which I had not had in a long time, and decided to give this place a try as I drive by it to/from work. First of all, the restaurant was empty and the people working there hardly acknowledged me. I ordered the mu shu shrimp to go and the pancakes were almost dried out. The rest of the dish was ok. Only plus is the cost, but honestly I'd rather spend more for better food and service. Will continue my search for great Chinese food in Fremont... read more

This review is for their delivery service. Ordered asparagus chicken, beef chow fun and a couple other dishes. I got string bean chicken instead asparagus chicken!! My husband hates string beans with passion so this was very upsetting. The amount of chicken was laughable as it was mostly string beans... The chow fun was bland with little taste. Lastly, the delivery guy was totally unfriendly when handing off the food. As if he was pissed for having to work. Will definitely never order from these guys ever again, especially after the fact that I paid a delivery fee and added a tip to the bill! read more
