After over 20 years living in this has been my go-to Chinese restaurant. Simply put they have the best quality food overall compared to others that have started to go down the drain like Kims wok which used to be good. The food is the freshest and you never get that old burnt oil taste that too many restaurants have. Food is cooked with pride and is fresh and high quality. I have been so disappointed in other Chinese restaurants but this one has remained a standout in quality. For instance when you order the sweet and sour pork it's pretty clear they actually cut and make the pork pieces on premises and you don't get those pre-made little squares that have been poured out of a commercial bag they actually make it themselves. Was really pleased with the tomato beef soup, egg wonton soup, eggplant with garlic sauce is absolutely delicious, excellent pancit, egg foo young very good actually everything I have tried there has been fresh and high quality and that does not happen at every Chinese restaurant. They seem to care about the food they make and it's cooked fresh to order. The food never has a funny off taste or burnt flavors they really seem to do a good job. read more

First time here and I ordered to go. Great customer service as she was patient and gave us recommendations. The inside was on the smaller side, but comfortable. A few folks ordered their food and ate inside. The food was all really good with lots of flavor. I look forward to coming back and trying a few more items. read more

Great food I will come back soon. The food came fast and was hot and delicious. Cheers!

Food is good always! Recommend them! Friendly people when we dined in. My daughter loves the buns.

I will come back to this wonderful place anytime I am in downtown Norfolk. I love their food, I've never had a bad dish. The sesame pancakes are my absolute favorite to order, I always get an extra cup of sauce because it's so tasty. The fried dumplings are perfectly done and not too oily. The lumpia is also delicious and again while deep fried is not super oily. My mother favors their green beans which are crisp and always super fresh. I generally swap between the beef and broccoli and the chicken with Chinese veggies. Both pack so much flavor and always have perfectly cooked veggies that still have a bit of bite to them. And of course finish off your meal with the sugar coated fried donuts and a fortune cookie. You won't be disappointed, come check out one of the places Norfolk's finest even stop off to eat. That's when you know the food is tops! read more

The food was hot and really good a nice little Chinese gem in Norfolk. Portion sizes were substantial and the pricing was very reasonable.

We ordered delivery. It came so fast and the gentleman was so friendly. Not to mention the portion sizes are big and food was delicious! Will definitely order again! read more

Terrible food. Terrible service. Why do these wings look like this? Yeah if you are from the northern area...beware. You will be extremely disappointed. read more

Golden Fortune Restaurant - doesnt look like fried chicken wings to me - Chinese Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

We got the king pao chicken and general tso chicken. Both were very underwhelming and the sauces were very thin/watery. Food was ready in 10 mins and prices were cheap tho read more

I asked for friend chicken wings (every single Chinese spot I've been to has them). They gave me marinated wings. He did not tell me on the phone and tricked me into getting them. Then told me I asked for marinated fried wings which I absolutely didn't ask for! I asked for a refund and he wanted me to come the same day which I didn't have time for since there was only 1hr before they closed. Do not go here!!! 0/10 read more

I stopped in at the local Golden Fortune Chinese Restaurant and ordered the General Tso's Chicken dinner combo with fried rice and an egg role. Let me start off with the portion size was a little small. My General Tso's sauce was runny and did not give me that General Tso's flavor I came looking for. The sauce had a very strange taste and seemed like the used a lot of hot sauce. The fried rice was alright and it is not your standard Chinese restaurant fried rice. I was not impressed with my overall quality of my food. read more

I have to say... hands down best food! Cleanest kitchen in Norfolk and the food is consistently delicious!! Today cold as a glacier, I stopped in for a simple egg drop soup and 2 egg rolls. Less than 5 minutes my fresh HOT soup and FRESH EGG-ROLLS WERE READY, package nicely to go with all condiments . Service was great! Can I say the food gets 5 stars all under 7.00 too! This is not a fine dining place but they do have some clean chairs and tables if you want to eat there. This place is my go to quick fix for great items. read more

My family's favorite Chinese place in Norfolk though we did find our favorite dish and we stick with it. Too many places use "chunked and formed" chicken of some type in their dishes but Golden Fortune definitely does not in the Orange Chicken. It always comes with a generous serving of broccoli and the delicious sweet and salty orange sauce. For pick up they are always fast and convenient. read more

Not your typical Chinese but I enjoyed it. It's a healthier version I think. I got the sesame chicken and it wasn't covered and soaked in the sauce. It was very light and not heavy. The rice is more of just a white rice that's fried a little. After mixing it with the chicken it was enjoyable. If you are trying to stay healthier but miss Chinese food, then this place is a perfect option! read more

Ok lets be real! Living in the tidewater area chines food is on every corner just about but this place is beyond the best around. I have to pay a toll both ways to enjoy this restaurant and it's well worth it, Sesame pancake and sesame chicken combo ftw read more

The food was excellent and the the delivery driver was great and on time with the delivery

By far some of the best carry out in Norfolk, and as far as Hampton Roads in my opinion. Golden Fortune prides themselves on offering the healthiest Chinese food in the area, and I definitely agree. I've been coming here for years, especially during my college years. The food is always cooked hot, and fresh to order. I like how the food is never overly greasy, as can definitely be the case at some Chinese food establishments. The inside is a very meek dining room, that is constantly well-maintained. The owners have an open view to the kitchen, which any customer can directly see how clean it is always kept as well. Friendly, fast service will always meet you here. I'm a huge fan of their general tso's chicken. Definitely some of my favorite. I get it literally every time I come. And having traveled across the country and tried several different restaurant's, I can definitely say there's ranks high. Definitely give them a try if you're in the Norfolk area. read more

I was in the area for a doctor's appointment at EVMS and Golden Fortune was right around the corner, so my mom and I decided to stop by for lunch. We were unsure of how large the lunch portions would be, so we each decided to order our own entrée and split an appetizer (we ended up having leftovers). I got the small orange beef and my mom got the chicken fried pan noodles, and we split an order of the steamed pork dumplings. We were there during the lunch rush, but managed to get a table and our food came quickly. For the price, we were very surprised by how large the portions were and by how fresh and delicious the ingredients were. This is not the greasy type of Chinese food that leaves you feeling gross afterwards, which was definitely a plus. They also have a large menu with a nice selection for those who may have dietary restrictions. Overall, Golden Fortune is a great lunch spot for the price. I would definitely go back if I were in Norfolk again! read more

Adequate - nothing to get excited about. No house delivery. Uber eats sent a guy that didn't know how to use a cell phone or ring a door bell. After waiting an hour went outside and found him sitting on his bike. read more

Its actually crazy good! Combination comes with an egg roll, fried rice and broccoli. I ordered an additional large fried rice for the both of us but didn't really need it. Great portion and good flavor. Recommended 100% read more

So the prices felt right but the food is not good at all. I felt like I was fed rat for $10. This is walking distance from my place of employment but I don't plan to ever return. The chicken didn't look like chicken at all. Buyer beware! The lumpia did not meet expectations at all and the egg rolls weren't an option on the pork. Some people don't eat port at all so that's highly disappointing and i couldn't even finish more than one bite. read more

After reading the reviews, I decided to try this place. I got the chicken with broccoli, shrimp with broccoli, shrimp lo mein, friend wings, & egg rolls. Everything was discussing. The entrees were made with water and were watery and bland instead of gravy. Everything with the shrimp tasted like an artificial type of fish. I wouldn't recommend anyone to eat here. The egg rolls were even disgusting. What a waste of 40 dollars. Also, they use Erica's white rice instead of the usual sticky rice. This place seems like they bargain shop and overcharge. read more

Golden Fortune Restaurant - The same chicken used in the fried rice is what's used in the chicken with broccoli.This food is disgusting. American white rice - Chinese Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Great place for take out. Love the cleanliness of the restaurant, appears to be COVID-19 compliant. Excellent big screen TV above the counter, adequate counter space to maintain social distancing. May not be for everyone but it works for this customer. They pack plates, heavy duty plastic forks, napkins, pks of soy sauce. Two thumbs up for that. I haven't seen that at other places. Don't take my word for it in case your experience differs than mine own. Love the food, the friendly staff and the whole package deal. I will be coming back for more. Prices are competitive and it works for me. read more

Order was quickly prepared within 15 min. Friendly owners. Portion was generous. Hot and sour soup didn't taste like the the traditional ones. Their base is more vinegar and clear broth where traditional one is darker and more in depth. Kung Pao chicken didn't have any sweetness taste too it. All soy sauce base. I haven't been back here since 2009. It's definitely new owners. read more

I'm giving two stars because the service was fine, and the price was good. People seemed nice enough based on my limited interaction. But I had the General Tso chicken, and both it and the fried rice were just *bad.*. Like I didn't want to finish them. Crab rangoons were OK (which are basically just fried cheese dumplings, so how bad could they be). Would not recommend. read more

Hands down the best spot in town! Been operating since ........ well forever! Never had any issues with orders, pricing, pickups, or deliveries! Very friendly and clean! The whole strip center is closed down except for this place.... it speaks for itself! Don't call me , text me, or find me........ golden fortune speaks for itself read more

So I was warned not to eat here because it looked sketch and was in a questionable area. I'm glad I trudged forward and ordered. The beef and green beans was absolutely delish. Shrimp egg foo young took me back to NY Chinese. The sweet and stout chicken was a little strange as the pieces were tiny. I did not like the cabbage and pork way too vinegary. Would give them another try. Took a star away for the $2 DOLLARS extra for extra egg foo young sauce. It was a small portion and $2 was cRaZY. read more

This is by far my favorite Chinese restaurant around. I think that it used to be a five star place, but has dropped a bit to 4 stars. Hopefully it will regain its Michelin star! The Egg Rolls are great. The Hot and Sour soup is very good. The Szechuan Beef is usually pretty good. The Pork and Cabbage is always good. General TSO is reliable...Employees are the best. Damn, now I'm hungry... read more

Lo Mien was awesome, as were the egg rolls. Husband wasn't a fan of the shredded chicken for their sesame chicken, but said flavor was alright. Their fried rice was also very good. read more

Average for me, the general tso's was pretty good though! Tasted fresh and slightly different to how I've had it before. Not bad by any means and staff was friendly. Worth a trip for a quick last minute dinner! read more

I'll try to keep this one short. Golden Fortune is a very good Chinese takeout place located near the Norfolk Arts District. The food here is good quality and unique from other Chinese takeout places in the area. They have a good amount of menu items that I haven't seen anywhere else such as their Hong Kong style soups and chicken turnovers. The biggest drawback I've had here is their $10 minimum for credit card purchases. I don't always exceed $10 when I get Chinese, so this has been a problem for me on some occasions. That said, I don't think they enforce it quite as strictly as they used to. All in all this is a good place to go for Chinese takeout if you're looking for something a little different than your average Chinese restaurant. read more

quality ingredients and moderately priced. can't beat this place. highly recommend

FINALLY CHINESE FOOD I CAN EAT! I have an intolerance to Chinese food for whatever reason. I was so tired of only ordering steamed veggies with no sauce. I recently moved to Ghent and now I can order from a Chinese restaurant that doesn't bother my stomach. I ordered the vegetable pancit, white rice, lumpia and chicken wings. Fiancé had the beef and broccoli. We weren't left with that "full" feeling after eating. So glad to actually have a good experience with Chinese food for once, will be ordering again and again. read more

I'm a Portsmouth native but I'm snowed in on Granby with my boyfriend. I've been hardcore craving Chinese but since I'm not home I'm wary about where to order from, but this place did not disappoint. As a vegetarian, carry out/ delivery is already a struggle but their veg egg rolls were over the top good, the lo mein was just right and I'm about to dive into the veggie dumplings (if there's any vegetarians reading this, you know how hard veggie dumplings are to come across). So pleased and full read more

The place was quiet for a Friday night but I only came for their lumpia rolls on this day. This was my first time visiting as I've usually ate from here when my mom has bought it. I say they have some the best lumpia I've tasted and although they are more costly than some of other places in area, they are worth it and their big. I also like their green beans, fried rice and general tso chicken. I would recommend them and in future will try more items on their menu. read more

Golden Fortune Restaurant - Menu - Chinese Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

In a desperate measure due to our usual places (Yummy Wok and Kins Wok) being closed, we resorted to trying Golden Fortune. I was optimistic because social media reviews were highly recommending them. We ordered a ton, bunches of this and that, because leftover chinese food is part of the appeal. But, 2 of the items (egg rolls and crab Rangoon) didn't come in the delivery order. Off to a bad start. Then it was time to eat! Disappointed with the lack of flavor, questionable quality of the meat, and gross vegetables. So, instead of a nice night in with comfort food, and for the first time in my life, I threw away over half a bag of food. read more

Pretty good for some quick Chinese. We've had this twice now and haven't been disappointed. The service is always friendly and they're really quick with takeout orders. I've gotten the chicken fried rice and beef and broccoli. My husband likes the chicken lo mein. Overall it's pretty average tasting. It's fresh and good for a Chinese fix, but not really above and beyond. read more

Best quality Chinese takeout that I have had today after living in Ghent for 20 years. the sweet and sour pork is made from handmade cut pork on the premises and not those little generic commercially made perfect little tiny squares of pork that normally come with sweet and sour pork.The pork and sweet and sour pork you can actually taste the real pork. I would recommend that you open up your sweet and sour pork and let it breathe as soon as you pick it up though because the breading can get a little soggy with all that steam trapped in the package so open it up or even empty it out as soon as you get it to help keep the dough crisp. I was also happy with the chow mein which is a lighter healthier alternative. I hear the Mongolian beef is outstanding would definitely go back and recommend to anyone reasonably priced read more

This restaurant has the best Chinese food in the Hampton Roads area!! I don't feel sick afterwards, unlike most Chinese food places. They also have Vietnamese food too, like the pork chop on rice with fish sauce. The owners are husband and wife and they opened it over 15 years ago I think. Super friendly, down to earth people who serve bomb ass food!! I wish I was in this area more often so I could eat here more read more
