Since the fire and the health issues are in the past along with the donuts, the Golden Fortune Express offers a super alternative to the over-priced Panda Express and the nasty joint - Magic Wok for low cost, quick Chinese food. We loved the BBQ pork. Much cleaner buffet line than in the past. We recommend this place and are very happy to have it back in operation. Here is the best recommendation available: starting at 11 am for 90 minutes every weekday, the parking lot is filled with undocumented workers' trucks who are picking up 4-10 meals for their compadres back at their worksites read more

Gave it a extra star because of covid. Staff is nice but food is bland. There is absolutely no flavor, noodle seems old. Just go to panda and pay extra or might as well eat plain rice. read more

I really like this place, affordable fast Chinese food. Totally hits the spot with the teriyaki chicken and bbq pork!

Great cheap Chinese! So glad they opened back up today. (They had a fire over 1-1/2 years ago)The prices are very inexpensive. The food is wonderful. I ordered the single item combo of spicy fish and fried rice. The fish was talapia that had a yummy, spicy coating on it. I Loved the flavor and not too hot. Very flavorful. I will definitely order it again. The fried rice was ok. Very typical. My husband had the orange chicken. He liked it. It could have had more of an orange flavor in it, but good. Our daughter had the potato & chicken. She really liked it and will order it again. The inside is clean and attractive. We will be ordering from there on a regular basis I'm sure. The reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is the woman my husband ordered from didn't understand English. He wanted to also order the fried fish from the appetizers. She didn't understand him. So we couldnt get it. I'm sure that is a temporary problem. It is the first day and they are packed. She may be just helping out for a couple of days until it slows down. There was another woman helping other people who spoke English. If you want good cheap Chinese, I definitely recommend this place! read more

Best place to go for cheap Chinese food!!! Good prices. Better than panda in my opinion!

Im sure if you go to a top notch, sit down, Chinese restaurant, you've had better dishes, but barely....this place is awesome for what it is; a fast food Chinese take out restaurant. For what you pay, you cant beat the quality and portions. The employees are friendly and helpful. The food is fresh, hot, and tasty....I've had the Kung Pao chicken, orange chicken, and teriyaki chicken, mushroom chicken, etc...the place is good...i did prefer the veggie egg rolls over the beef egg rolls tho, weird as I'm a carnivore....lol... You wont be dissapointed. read more

Best fast food Chinese food around town. This place was previously China Express and Daily Donuts, but it burned down. They missed their opportunity to rename this place the Phoenix Express. It rose from the ashes and reopened as the Golden Fortune Express. This made the Gf and I very happy. For the last two years we have wondered where we could get great Hot and Sour soup. Everywhere we would go could not complete with this place. Prices have gone up a dollar to two, but the quantity and quality of food make it well worth it. We will continue to come back and get our favorites. read more

Good food seem polite and nice.. Orange chicken is good not to much my style the I like it or make it. The teriyaki chicken is really good and moist. There is very very limited parking because of the vet hospital.. Overall a good place new.. I would recommend it. read more

Golden Fortune Express - Combo plate fry rice teriyaki chicken orange chicken jalapeño chicken - Chinese Near Me - La Crescenta, California

Below average. The noodles were cold, the rice was hard. The rest of the dishes were luke warm. The orange chicken was not great with too much of a very sweet sauce. The teriyaki chicken was dry and did not come with teriyaki sauce. The BBQ pork was hard, cold and tasted slightly like cigarettes. The customer service was good. The lady behind the counter was very nice. I won't be back. I'd rather head over to Panda in La Canada. read more

Place looks clean & neat... food was just average nothing really good as expected. Not coming back.

Giant portions. Flavor is ok. Quick service. Has to be the only Chinese restaurant that charges for soy sauce.

This is one of mine and my child's preferred spot to eat and take out! They have incredible client assistance, ppl are neighborly and the nourishment possess a flavor like custom made nourishment. I have additionally requested enormous plate for party. So I energetically prescribe this spot to everybody. read more

We are here twice a week Kids love it Better than Panda Express They also have great boba Service is great The older woman is very friendly Food is delicious read more

Found this spot on a few days ago.. pretty good for Chinese fast food ! Service is a little slow, but worth the wait

I love this place. They give you SO much food, and it's such a great price. The teriyaki chicken is bomb, their sauces are really good. Everything I've gotten there is bomb. I also love their taro drink. read more

I never write reviews about anyting but this is got to be the absolute worst Food I've ever had if I could give it - 0 Stars I would I don't know if I came in late but the food they gave me I wouldn't feed to my dog read more

Don't expect much, and you won't be too disappointed. The chicken that they use is low grade, it was soaked in brine (most likely by the distributor,) and I could really taste the processed saltiness. I also had the jalapeno fish, and there just wasn't a lot of flavor to it. The fried rice was not good at all. For the quality they are offering, you might as well go to Blanda Express. read more

Delicious food! Really filled me up. I guess that explains the long line. I got the fried rice and eggrolls with a bit of broccoli beef without the beef. They were happy to accommodate my picky "vegetarian" needs! Great service! Thanks read more

So delicious! I've been trying to find a good local Chinese takeout place for a while and this will definitely be my new spot. It's much cleaner than other places inside also. I recommend the jalapeno fish, it has a little kick but doesn't set your mouth totally on fire :) read more

Just ate here for the 'umpteenth' time and have always given positive remarks...not this time. While the food was good and the price was right they committed the ultimate sin. THEY NO LONGER MAKE THEIR LEGENDARY CHILI OIL ! Their food, and their choices have always been way above average for this kind of eatery. However, the food was made better than that by the addition of their chili oil, one that I craved often. I may wind up going to Chor's to partake in food with chili oil...SAD. read more

Great, cheap, and tasty fast-food style Chinese food. I was so sad when they were closed. But they are back and just as good! I love their overwhelming helpings for a great price. My go-tos are the jalapeno fish and teriyaki chicken with chow mein. The chow mein is a thicker noodle with cabbage and I personally enjoy it more than Panda's. read more

Had lunch on Sat. and was pleasantly surprised of the quality of food considering it's basically a small fast food carry out establishment although they do have limited tables for dining in. Ordered the 2 meal combo plate for $6.99 which was a decent amount of food and tasted good. I usually drive to Panda Express once every 3 weeks to La Canada but now I maybe have found a better fix for my fast food chinese craving experience. I would recommend to anyone that is looking for good quality of asian cooking for less amount of spending. read more

Use to be good. Recently changes owners. The new owners are cheap and have made cuts including take ng away the soda fountain. You must purchase by the can. Will find a new place read more

Love this place and sooo happy they opened back up!! Always come here once a week for good food and good prices!!

It's what you'd expect from Chinese take out. ..greasy Chinese food. It's not terrible but I've had better even for take out.

If you're ever in the mood for some guilty, greasy, Chinese... this is your place ! It's really clean here and they have a really wide drink selection. The service is really good and their teriyaki chicken was tender and delicious!!! I also loved their reasonable pricing! A plate with 2 entrees and 2 sides is only $6.95! I am definitely coming back. read more

We love this place. Fresh great food. They have the best Hot and Sour soup. The staff is friendly and helpful.

I have no desire to ever eat there again. Made the mistake of ordering Orange Chicken. Way too much sugar and did not have to wait long before my stomach was sharing its reaction to my brain. read more

I usually don't like "fast" Chinese food, but this place is really good. Great turn around on the dishes so the food is freshly prepared throughout the day. Not too greasy like most fast Chinese places. I've revisited at least once every other week...it's getting dangerous =0D read more

I ordered for a group of 7. I called ahead, and when I arrived, the staff was piling everything in take out containers. I could not believe how much food they packed into those containers! What a bargain! The staff was very helpful in getting everything bagged and boxed for me. The place was full of people - always a good sign. It's nice to know there is a place like this so close to where I work! read more

Finally a good quick Chinese food stop besides Panda Express in the area! I love that they also have some Korean dishes as well! Will go back. Delicious for what it is. They even have Boba so you can drink away your dessert after eating. read more

Ordered the beef fried rice and apparently they only have one size for around $8. The beef wasn't that good. I expected the rice to come in one of those cute little take-out boxes but it came in a big styrofoam box and I just wasn't excited about eating it. The portion size is good for 2-3 people I guess. I had a few bites and was bored of it quick... read more

Pretty good Chinese steam table food. The lo mein is our favorite. Very reasonable amount of food and fast service. Of course it is not the most healthy food for you, but we can't resist the temptation for a quick good takeout once awhile. read more

im a fan of authentic Chinese food and this place has proved it . I loved the fish and the friend rice . great customer service . will be back read more

Yay, cheap chinese with better variety and larger portions than Panda. Not only do they have orange chicken, but also salt and pepper chicken. You can go through their line like Panda, or order some items ala carte. They also have boba and icy drinks to cool your thirst. read more

I love this place because their food is amazing, the prices are reasonable and their customer service is phenomenal. The only complaint that I have is that they don't do delivery to DTLA. I live in DTLA and work across the street from this place. read more

Good food. Ride my bike on a hot day. The lady working was so nice she offer me a free sample item on my plate, she said I would like it and I did. Also offer me a cup of ice water because it was hot outside. Would come here again. Nice little place with wifi. read more

So this place is located in a more white neighbor so regardless of any asian restaurants you go to, it won't have the ethnic flavors of an asian restaurant. So I ordered chicken wings and fried banana here. The fried banana was nothing like I expected it to be, it was a banana covered with, I don't even know what was on the banana. It was NOT fried that's for sure, the wings were a great size but taste meh. read more

This is the best fast food Chinese in the area. Panda Express is garbage compared to this place where the food doesn't taste like a bottle of oil spilled all over the food. read more

Super cheap and service is super nice but you gotta go there at certain times to get the newest items they make
