I stopped by and ordered, went to the store and came back. My food was ready and was so tasty when I got home. The crb goons were amazing, my chicken in garlic sauce was full of chicken with enough veggies....just great lol the way around. ....and fresh. The chicken fried rice was over flowing and tasted so fresh. read more

They have been around for decades and their food is unmistakably authentic and delicious! I've eaten there and picked up take out! Great Spring Rolls for starters! read more

Tried this place for take out. First of all, I would disagree with nearly all the negative reviews on here. If you're going to a takeout Chinese place and expecting a spotless updated modern restaurant, do us a favor and keep your review to yourself. This place is the typical takeout Chinese place. It's not super clean, the staff are friendly enough, the food is pretty good. I would give this place 5 stars for Chattanooga, considering the Chinese food scene in Chattanooga is lousy. The menu is large, some things better than others. I would recommend ordering the chicken teriyaki sticks with whatever entree you get. Also the crab rangoons are really good. I would recommend this place as the best I've found in Chattanooga for takeout Chinese. read more

Always accurate and very inexpensive for the amount you get. Very friendly and willing to suggest items or combinations.

After moving to Signal Mountain, we were so excited to hear that we had a great chinese place on the mountain. Boy, were we wrong... We've ordered takeout from Fortune House at least 8 times since we moved up here 3 months ago. We LOVE Chinese food! Honestly, we aren't very picky people either so the fact that I'm giving this a one-star review should say something. Our go-to entree is always General Tso's chicken. Unfortunately, the chicken was chewy and not flavorful at all. Out of the 8 or so times we ordered it, it was good once. I also tried the Sesame Chicken once and it was maybe *slightly* better, but still chewy. I started ordering the House Lo Mein, since the chicken was so bad, which was slightly better than the chicken but honestly still not very good. Our other go-to items are the Crab Rangoons. Honestly for the first 4 or 5 orders, the crab rangoons were amazing! Seriously, they totally made up for the crappy chicken. But the last 3 times that we ordered, the rangoons lost their filling and their flavor. For 2 General Tso's combos and order of Crab Rangoons we paid about $33. So not cheap for this crappy food! Unfortunately, it seems like Chattanooga is lacking any good Chinese takeout restaurants. Including this one. Sadly, we won't be ordering from here again. read more

Decent food and prices for Chattanooga's lack luster Chinese food scene. Fast and efficient service.

Not bad. This hole in the wall on Signal Mountain is a decent place for some quick Chinese food. At first glance, it's pretty sketchy. The inside is dark and gloomy. But the family that works here is very nice; they warm the vibe. The food is fine, just nothing special. The lunch portions are large and fairly priced. Each lunch meal comes with an egg roll or soup. The egg drop soup is good. They also offer a buffet. 3/5 read more

Way overcooked Shrimp Egg Foo Yung and dried fried rice! Very disappointed in overall takeout. Will I try again, yes! Everyone deserves a second try! read more

A consistent and good local restaurant. I'm grateful that we have Chinese food on Signal. It isn't very adventurous, but it is always good.

We were babysitting sitting for our niece/nephews kids in Signal Mountain and new to the area. Went on Yelp read reviews and gave it a try. It was very good and quick. read more

Probably the worst and most rude service I've ever had dining in at a Chinese food restaurant. Very blunt and no pleasantries. Even dining in, food is served in styrofoam with plastic utensils. In addition they tried "up selling" their lunch special; charging my more for an egg roll that I didn't eat or request. I drove out of my way due to the reviews and was severely disappointed read more

Saved us from starvation at 9pm on a Saturday. Clean. Fast. Cheap. Best takeout in Tennessee!

Hot and sour soup is excellent, everything else I've ordered was bland and disappointing

Why? I give in to my daughter to have food at this place. The poor service well the lady at the cash register....She has to be the rudest person on signal mountain. Today the food wasn't as greasy as normal. Saw the minors working their butts off. Those kids are there always I feel sorry for them! How would you like to sit in a restaurant all day and night? Sad read more

Fortune House Restaurant - Not so greasy today. - Chinese Near Me - Signal Mountain, Tennessee

Food is mediocre but wonton soup is fantastic. Only choice on the mountain unfortunately but it's okay. Needs updating and a thorough cleaning. If ordering ahead double the time they tell you. Food is never ever ready on time. If more choices available on mountain I'd probably stop eating here. read more

Was looking for decent Asian, although the review was a 4 star, I think it's more of a 2 star. I had the sweet & sour chicken. Very bland, no veg at all, fried rice was luke warm at best, which concerns me about food born illness. I wouldn't recommend...Sorry Fortune House. read more

Okay non-traditional Chinese food, but it's the only Chinese option on the mountain. Carpets need to be shampooed and the place needs a little organizational help. A little pricey for dinner entrees. If you can make it down the mountain, go to Formosa in Hixson instead. For even better Chinese food, head to Atlanta or while you're there, hop on a flight to Hong Kong instead. read more

Great Chinese food and friendly service. Food is normally ready in 15 minutes or less and always filled to the brim of your to go box. The sweet lady at the cash register always gives my kids a little something extra when we dine in. read more

OH MY GOD!! This was our first time eating/ordering take out from Fortune House and it was SO good!! Not only was our order right, the food itself was perfect. The sugar doughnuts they include as a dessert were also very good!! Definitely recommend & definitely will be going back!! :)) read more

I've ordered from this restaurant for years. Love it! No, the staff isn't chatty. They are working their butts off to get the orders out. But they are never, ever rude. Great food and great work ethic. read more

Best Chinese around. Don't care what anyone says. The General Tso's is money. Sesame and Lo Mein are pretty bomb, too.

Go back to California if you don't like our fortune house. Best Chinese food in Tennessee and jeff D sucks!

If you want staple Chinese food, come here. Every small town has a Chinese restaurant like this. It fits most every stereotype you would have about a Chinese restaurant in a small town and that's why I love this place. Great place, great takeout, incredible owners. Owners are so incredibly nice. read more

Fortune House is hands down the best restaurant on Signal and the best Chinese restaurant in the Chattanooga area. My husband and I order takeout regularly from here and we've never been disappointed. Highly recommend!!!! read more

This is a tiny little place up in Signal Mountain. My opinion, it's the best Chinese place in the Tenn Valley area. It's run by a sweet Chinese family that go out of their way to make sure you are liking your food. They have a lunch buffet that's nice and if they're out of something, they will ask you what you want more of. When I lived up there I got takeout at least once a week. The leftovers are just as good. Take a little trip up the mountain to get your Fortune House on. read more

So first of all, I'd like to say I'm glad this place is up here on the mountain because Lord help us Signal Mountaineers with all the mediocre Mexican food, we need the variety. I'll also say the service and way this place is ran by a family and their very impressive children wows me every time Ive gone in for takeout. But the reviews I read of this being the best Chinese food makes my Chinese food loving heart sink. I feel like all of their dishes taste pretty much the same! It's quite odd! No real distinct flavor variations at all! Just an add of bell pepper and onion here and a slightly different sweet sauce there. Then there is the way we all feel after getting takeout from there. Everyone in my house is like "ugh! My stomach hurts" maybe we have an allergy to something they use in cooking!?! No clue. We have grabbed takeout from there more than a handful of times because it's convenient and tasty enough, but after a repetitive stomach ache and getting to the place we didn't even argue about which dishes to order because they taste pretty much the same I'm left feeling it is just not worth it. Sorry fans! read more

We ordered off the menu to ensure our food was cooked fresh (as opposed to the buffet). It was fresh, plentiful and tasty. That said, it's still nothing more than your run of the mill Chinese restaurant. I wouldn't go out of my way, but I would go back again. read more

We takeout almost weekly. All dishes we've tried are great. Beef is always tasty and tender, good wings, and best hot and sour soup you can find. Family owned business and they work their tails off to produce a quality product. Slightly pricey for Chinese food, and the atmosphere is dated, but it is in a strip mall. read more

What a hidden gem. Left the area sometime ago but found my way back to this fortune. This place is where it's at, in terms of "hit the spot" dishes that would compliment any hunger. Let me start with the crab Rangoon. Where else do you get 10 pcs in the area? I'll wait. In the meantime, try their Szechuan chicken, made with a mix of fresh steamed vegetables. The sauce isn't too hot and you can always omit the chili flake. This was just my lunch experience and I'm not ashamed to say, I'll be back for more. read more

I come here at least once a week and it is so good. This is classic Ameri-Asian food that tastes so good! My favorite is the General Tsos Chicken. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for an Asian restaurant in the area! read more

Great food in my opinion! We order carry out probably twice a month and our order has never been messed up! They're very quick and everything is hot when you get it! Totally recommend read more

We ordered pan fried dumplings, beef szechuan style, and the dragon & phoenix. The beef szechuan meal included an egg roll. To our surprise the pan fried dumplings were good, though not as good as another restaurant here in Chattanooga. The dragon & phoenix and beef szechuan were edible. The egg roll was incredibly hot and lacked flavor. Prices were reasonable and the atmosphere was basic. Our server seemed annoyed ...would never say "you're welcome" after we'd thank her for XYZ. Overall, if I lived in Signal Mtn I'd go back, but I most definitely would not make a special trip to try this "misfortune". read more

It was our first visit selected on the reviews. It was Mother's Day, and I took the family (5 persons) out for Chinese. I was disappointed! We tried the buffet which was just okay. The breaded shrimp should be rated a one, and much of the other food was just average, nothing special. We had to seat five people at a table for four, as that was all they had. The service was fair. How this restaurant got a 4.5 average rating is beyond me. I have eaten at several of the Chinese Restaurants, and all were much better than the Fortune House. read more

This is by far the best (and only GOOD) Chinese place in the Chattanooga area. It's amazing! The egg drop soup is especially delicious and I really love the cheap lunch buffet. If they are out of anything you just have to ask and they'll make you some! read more

a great Chinese restraunt. All food is 100% true and perfect. strongly recommend......

My husband and I love this place. Food we have eaten there or take-out has been very good. We have tried several different things and have not been disappointed. Soups are also very good. It's usually a place where you can eat relax and carry on a conversation. read more

This is a quantity over quality kind of place. No, the service is not southern warmth and hospitality but so what? They're extremely busy and everyone working appears to be a family member. None of the dishes really set themselves apart so you can't really go wrong with anything. read more

Good food and great staff! From what I can tell, it's a family business. The owners have a wonderful work ethic and they cook quality Chinese food. They never close early and always fill my containers until their overflowing. This is the only place I go for takeout. read more

FOOD POISONING!! We were the first in for dinner and were clearly served left overs from the lunch buffet. Dry and crunchy rice was the tell tail. It started with the 2 year old exploding out of both ends all night, then it hit the rest of us. Shame on them for being lazy. read more

Good food. Atmosphere is just ok. Loved the hot and sour soup. The buffet is tasty. Been there a few times and have t had a bad experience. read more
