Years ago, back in 2013ish, we tried this Chinese takeout place because it was nearby. At the time there was an opinionated man taking our order which wasn't a huge deal, just weird, but the food left something to be desired. Fast forward to 2026 and we thought we'd try again because maybe something had changed. Ordered through the online platform, enough so that we could score the free spring rolls. Food arrived super-fast to our delight! Unfortunately, the food wasn't so great. The chicken appetizers were either incredibly overdone, flavorless, or both. The spring rolls were okay. The soup was about 90% white pepper, while the soup crackers were extremely stale and rancid. One of the entrees was incredibly salty; the other was incredibly bland. The appearance of both was very brown with obvious charring (not the good kind). Every dish seemed to share the same particular flavor. The fortune cookies, however, were very fresh, not stale as I'd expected given everything else. Conclusion: I already wasn't a fan in the past, and it seems to have gone downhill from there. Would not recommend. read more

Decent szechuan tofu, SUPER rude old white guy. He commented on my (17) and my friend's (also 17) weight, unprompted, after I asked if the spring rolls had eggs. He assumed I was vegan to lose weight (I'm not) and said I looked malnourished and needed to eat meat. Also unprompted. He compared my weight to my friend's (she is thin but taller), saying she was fat/curvy. I can assure you that she is skinnier than he is. He also said he thought that my 17-year-old friend was 12 (after calling her curvy!!!), ALSO unprompted. He continued to make small talk after both of us were just trying to order and leave. We were incredibly civil (I regret being so nice) and I could tell my friend was uncomfortable. After we left, I remembered that I don't have to be nice to assholes, so this review is going to be far from kind. I hope this review can warn someone to never take their daughters here. Old men don't get the societal pressures women face. It's more than just a comment on our weight, it's how society values us as humans. All we are to society is our weight and men like him will never understand how that feels. Call me sensitive, but I'd rather be sensitive than an asshole. It's time to retire. TL;DR beware of old white man who bases what women should look like off of the child p0rn he watches. Must I stress calling a supposed 12-year-old curvy? Ew. read more

They were closed last week for a well-deserved break and they were sorely missed. Had to look elsewhere and the quality was lacking. Theirs is by far the best Gen Tso's chicken anywhere! read more

The food was extremely, extremely bland with no flavor, and seemed to be watered down somehow. You would be better off going to a chain or supporting a different, surrounding business as many are local and flavorful. In addition, my friend had found hairs in their food, at which point we just threw it away. The place was extremely dirty and smelled strange, like stale water. The service was extremely, extremely poor, and the owner clearly did not want to serve you. I have never fathomed that someone could be so rude, even more so to potential customers. Was not surprised to see previous reviews mentioning food poisoning, mouse droppings, and similar terrible experiences with the service. Really wished I checked the reviews before ordering here as I've never left 1 star reviews, but believe this is worth leaving for future customers. read more

We ordered a lunch special and the food there was absolutely disgusting I felt sick after I ate the food. I called just to give my feedback to fortune gourmet and the guy who answered the phone had a horrible attitude. I didn't want my money back, I didn't want a replacement I was just telling them the food was nasty. I am telling you be careful eating from this place. The food was nasty. read more

Rating: 100/10 Very affordable meals and big portions!!!! Definitely recommend them to anyone‍ My family has been buying from this restaurant for YEARS and I can never get old of it. LOVE the food and customer service. The owners are very friendly one of the owners may seem, in some people's view "rude" but he's actually a pretty chill guy once you get to know him. His wife is the best also, I love her positive attitude!! My favorite meal to buy from here is the beef broccoli(LOVE IT) and fried rice combination. read more

have ordered from them for years.....used to be good, but not any more. have really gone downhill!! everything is too salty and overcooked! Will not order again. read more

DO NOT ORDER HERE Unfortunately there is no zero rating. The owner loves to argue!! I placed an order online for pick up this evening. I ordered shrimp with lobster sauce ($1.17 for large) with spring roll/soup for $2.95 more, garden veg. chicken ($1.17 large) will spring roll/soup (2.95), 1 more soup and 2 sodas. I used coupon for 4 free spring rolls. I picked up the order and when I got home, all spring rolls and 2 sodas were missing from the bag. When I called, the owner said they do not have online ordering (which I used), insisted the spring rolls were in the bag (they were not) and he said it's my job to get sodas from their cooler. How am I supposed to know this??? He did not tell me this when he handed me the bag and there is no sign. He also saw that I am handicapped and use a cane. He then argued and yelled at me when I asked for a refund!!!! HE IS VERY RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL. In addition, I got sick from the shrimp. DO NOT EAT HERE OR GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS!!!! read more

We regularly order for delivery. What is great is they accommodate customizations. Light sauce or on the side. Extra veggies,etc.

My standby American Chinese. I absolutely love this place if I need my Hunan Beef and Hot and Sour soup fix. Their lunch menu is the best bargain around. A good portion of your entree comes with fried rice, soup and a spring roll, all for a measly $8. Besides making it myself, their soup is probably one of the better ones I've had. The sesame chicken and their beef lo mein are children approved. I love this little mom and pa resto! read more

The customer service needs some work. The man that answers the phone is always rude. He needs to take advice from his wife who knows how to treat people. We have been ordering there for years and it is such a shame that he has ruined this because of his cocky attitude. read more

Another little hidden GEM in Centreville at the Pickwick shopping center and in between the barber shop and SO Korean BBQ , you will find FORTUNE GOURMET. You will always be friendly greeted by someone who is nice! All of them! Then you check their huge but simple menu that is full of options not confusion! Order your food , you will be surprised by the price but wait until you get your food fast hot & fresh in a huge container and you will be more surprised! NOTE: The portion is really huge , I ate it at home once and it only fit in a huge bowl! I'll add the photo soon and my relatives couldn't finish it in one meal!! Chinese food DELICIOUS FAST AFFORDABLE FRESH YUMMY HUGE and with Endless varaties! My favorite till now is the wide noodles with beef, chicken & shrimp "combo" and I request it spicy and also the Singapore Noodles with beef, chicken & shrimp "combo" spicy . For those who are picky with their food like me "there is no shame about it!! LOL " at FORTUNE GOURMET they really pay attention to the details, never give you faces and they never made a mistake with me!! When I have multiple items that might look the same, they use a marker and Mark it for me! (Not a big deal right?? But not every restaurant does that!!!) Anyway that's why we're here on Yelp! To fix the universe!! The restaurants universe! Lol **You can add a soup and veggie eggroll for just a $1.95! They have great lunch deals menu for $6.95!! I always call ahead for my to go orders but again even if I forgot the waiting time is almost nothing! They also have a delivery service!! Call them NOW! read more

My experience at this Chinese restaurant was disappointing. The owner is rude and something seemed off with him, food lacked flavor and freshness, and the service was slow and inattentive. read more

Editing I wanted to rewrite this because I, too, grew up in a family-owned environment, a gas station. It rubs me the wrong way, having you yell and scream at your child in front of me while I was ordering food. Just from the vibe, I gathered you are a single parent. And I get that it's hard. However, you have a horrible example and public face when you scream at your child for being a little bit loud in front of your customers I'm driving through with a bag full of Chinese food with no silverware. I have to eat with my hands, but you must find a better way to parent before your child grows up emotionless and cold. Good luck to you, sir. read more

Food is taste so good, fried rice is the best especially with their fried chicken. They have fast service, my food took 10 and I got 2 combinations read more

My go to spot! As a vegetarian its hard to find places that do tofu as well as they do, and a place that my meat eating friends enjoy too! The spring rolls are amazing!!! read more

I wanted to like this place since it's so close to our new house and I always have had a go to Chinese place before. I was a little worried after reading some of the previous reviews about the customer service and .. the lack of it... however decisions were made and we drove there early Thursday evening . The place wasn't busy, I'm sure it's more of a delivery and carry out place. Just the family of who I'm assuming owned the place and a bunch of kids and a toddler. A friendly women greeted us and we ordered the dinner for 3 option for $27. -6 crab wontons ( very bad by the way; no flavor and bad taste overall) - hunan beef -general tso chicken -veggies -combination fried rice Good deal for all that food right ? Took maybe ten min to prepare and we left with the food in hand . Overall the taste wasn't bad, beef was spicy but chicken had a pretty good texture to it. Overall way too salty but most fastfood Chinese seems to be. Fast forward a hour later. Stomach is totally rejecting it. While I have a faster metabolism than most.. I'll have to see if the other ppl that ate the food will disagree with them as well. I've had three bathroom visits in a hour. Not ... how I want to spend my evening . AVOID THIS PLACE, CLEARLY SOMETHING IS NOT CLEAN HERE. EXPERIENCING MILD FOOD POISONING HOUR AFTER EATING read more

I ordered beef fried rice to go. It was bursting with wonderful flavors! Definitely will order here again and make it my go to Chinese restaurant! Super friendly owners read more

This is, without question, the best Chinese Restaurant in Centreville. We have been coming here for years and it is always great. The Sesame Chicken is a favorite, plus the Chicken Egg Foo Young, and Lo Mein. Their Moo Shi Pork is really good. Great flavor, crispy veggies and good sized pancakes with great sauce. The Crab Rangoon appetizer is perfect. Great flavor, crispy and light. Their Spring Rolls are great as well. Enjoy! read more

Complaints none! Good food is all I can say... The Resturant needs work, it's like stuck in the 1990s and the ownership hasn't updated anything since opening from the looks of it. From my visit it seems a majority of people call for pick up or delivery. I ordered and enjoyed the chicken fried rice and beef/snow peas in oyster sauce dish. If I dined in my rating would have dropped. My review is based on the friendly service and quality food that leaves me with a solid positive review. read more

Very Rude!!! I love the food. I have been ordering for over 25 years. Today the guy that answered the phone was extremely rude. I was shocked. Their food is the best I ever had. If this is where the customer service is going I will think twice. read more

Our go-to Chinese takeout! Consistently good food, great portions, and good value. The owners have always been pleasant with me and appreciate the business. It's not fancy, but that's not what I'm looking for in my Chinese takeout spot. The Sesame Chicken is amazing! Highly recommend. read more

Ordered 2 orders of chicken wings, came home 4 small wings in a bag totaled 8. Cost $12.20. NEVER AGAIN. They used to be legit place to get food quality is good and the portion is nice. It changed read more

Food always tastes pretty fresh, reallly good portions, fast & free delivery (which seems to be a rarity in this area) and overall consistent quality. My favorite part is that the dishes with veggies have lots of really large pieces of veggies that seem to actually be chopped and cooked that day. Not something that's been sitting in sauce for days or out of a frozen mix. I couldn't give the fifth star because a couple things: the dumplings seem to have a lot of dough and tend to be on the greasy side. Also meats can be a little chewy. But overall this is a great spot for takeout or delivery! read more

This has been my family's go-to Chinese food for years. We typically order spicy shrimp or chicken fried rice, along with chicken. The rice is my favorite and the portion sizes are huge - unmatched compared to other places. read more

BEWARE!!!!Recently ordered Beef fried rice and found mice dropping in my food. Called to complain and the guy who answered was rude and obnoxious. I contacted the health department and am hoping this place gets shut down. With all the deceases going around this is the last thing we need in our community. I have been a local business owner in Centreville for many years, and this is hands down the worst experience ever. To top it off the guy who I complained to basically said I had no clue what I was talking abt and hung the phone up on me. Same we have to deal with this in such a wonderful community. read more

Fast delivery! Easy online ordering!! Great food! They have lunch combos, veggie options, and YES!! Sweet and sour pork! And it's good too!! Score! For the flavour, texture and quality of food Fortune Gourmet delivers a great overall value in a decent sized package. In fact, I love this place so much.. SOOOOOO MUCH that I completely forgive them for having spring rolls instead of eggrolls (have I ever told you of my love for eggrolls? Here..Let me sing to you of my love..Meh, maybe later..) They have never mistaken chow mein for lo- mein ..Never confused egg drop for won ton..Not once have they ever given us steamed dumplings instead of fried, or chicken instead of beef..These guys are great!! I've never stepped foot inside this establishment, but that's okay, the delivery is fast and they send fortune cookies and sauce packets, that's pretty much the same thing, right? read more

I've been ordering from them since 2003 because their food is the best! I travel everywhere in US for business and can't find any place near their taste. Thanks FG! read more

Without a doubt, the best Chinese food in the area! We have been going to this place for decades and have NEVER been disappointed! The same family has owned and operated this place since the very beginning. They are the standard I use to evaluate any Chinese restaurant anywhere. Take out is the best way to work with them - they have delivery service, but it can add significantly to your order time. We can call in an order, and head right over - it is always ready when we get there! But you are not going there for the speed - you are going there for the high quality food! They are simply the best! read more

This hole in the wall Chinese restaurant is the best take-out you can ever get. They have the best Wings, Kung-Pao chicken, Beef and Broccoli, spring rolls and pork spare ribs!! I haven't tried most things on the menu, but they are consistent with what I do order!! Delicious!! The White guy that runs the place is the owner and is actually really nice when you treat him like a human (he pissed me off on the phone once, but I totally get in having been working in food service my whole life), he and his chinese wife run the restaurant and stay super busy!! I really enjoy the food and the homey feeling of the place. Can't get more down to earth people here! read more

Lucky for them Yelp required a rating in order to review. I would have left it at 0. For the first order they messed up, blamed it online ordering blah blah blah...fine I let that go... I order again and another mess up...causes me to have to drive back. Took a break for a while and order again....this one was fine because it was a simple order of lomein and soup. Today I ordered a lunch special and lomein....I ended up getting fried rice. I call and the guy says to me that he entered it wrong and would send the right order out. I have been waiting for over an hour. I call back because I have to leave so I can't wait any longer. The guy tells me this time it's the computers fault. He then says to me....mam you've never ordered from us before.....WTF how are you going to tell a repeated paying customer that??? Everytime you order from them they give you another menu. I have kept all 8 menus AND I have an account online that shows my purchase history. Asked for a refund and he says "fine" and hangs up. Needless to say customer service sucks and not worth the trouble!I read more

I'll try to keep my post as simple as possible. Shrimp Egg Foo Yung - Standard fare with gravy. Mediocre. Combo Lo Mein - A bit on the greasy side but with more flavor then its local competitors. Crispy Sesame Beef - Thick slices of beef, dry and with most deliveries soggy by the time it arrived. The sauce was equal parts sweet and salty. Beef Broccoli - Standard, thin but wide slices of beef (would probably using a meat tenderizer to soften it up a bit). Sauce was good. Spring Rolls - Tasteless, going to pass next time Crab Rangoon - Delicious! Crispy and not overly fried. Chicken Wings - Surprisingly good. Crispy with a light seasoning. Could have used more but I would be inclined to order these in bulk if they offered it. Conclusion: A slight better in its overall offerings compared to local competitors. There are some that do specific dishes better but I find the general quality is decent here. read more

Food is very good. Although the interior isn't very attractive, the food makes up for it. I love the chicken chow mein and the general taos chicken. read more

I've only had their egg drop soup & it is fantastic. I just had surgery & am on a liquid diet for a few weeks till I heal. This soup is so rich & flavorful. Next time I'm in the area, I will stop in for more menu items. read more

HORRIBLE customer service and treatment I placed my order online, and the system glitched and apparently my order went through twice (though I only got one confirmation email). When the delivery guy showed up, he claimed that he tried to reach me when the order was doubled, but I had no missed calls, and no messages left on the phone. He then INSISTED that we take both orders and pay for both. My order was nearly 30 bucks, so it ended up being INCREDIBLY expensive. A friend had answered the door, as I was in the restroom when the delivery arrived, so I called the store when I realized I had been charged twice (and gotten twice the food -- something I had NOT ordered), even though I only got 1 confirmation email and everything seemed in order. When I called, the delivery guy answered, and was INCREDIBLY rude to me, he yelled at me, and then hung up on me.I was only asking for the explanation, and was not blaming him or rude to him in anyway -- I was just trying to clarify what happened since I wasn't the one to talk to him at the door. The food is pretty good, but if that is how they treat their customers when there is a mistake on their end, I suggest dining elsewhere. read more

It's so disappointing that a restaurant with good food and so much potential can have such a rude owner who doesn't know what customer service is. Everytime I go he's yelling at his wife or at someone idk i don't recommend eating in but ugh i don't this is so sad bc they have good food but bad customer service read more

As always, this place was great. Ordered delivery and it was quick! We got General Tso's Chicken (spicy!), sweet and sour chicken, and crab rangoons. Delicious read more

Right down the street and I've been here a few times but did not have a chance to write a review. Great food every time. Not to greats like other Chinese spots around the area. I've tried the combination lo mein, Mongolian beef, and Szechuan beef and chicken. I think it's pretty safe to say you won't go wrong. read more

First time I'd order from this place and it was really good... easy to order, delivered on time and the food was delicious!!! I'll do it again..!!! Try it yourself...!!! read more

Great service and it was quick, no waiting, like 20 min or less. However, we ordered 3 dishes. General tzos lo mein szechuan chicken the lo mein was good, average. the General tzos was also good, not amazing BUT the szechuan was terrible. i love chinese and its hard to mess it up for me. Iron stomach and all but there is no way i am going to eat the leftovers, i had 3 bites and just gave up. it was bland and didnt taste like sezchuan at all... i was so dissapointed. read more
