The food and service here are both phenomenal. I've never had to wait too long for a table and always loved everything I got. The sweet glaze on the tofu bites and wings is unlike anything I've tasted anywhere else! read more

Oh. Good Fortune. How I love thee.... Let me count the ways... The vibe is really like none other in the beautiful, historic, love filled, City of Memphis. There is a really cool noodle themed mural that runs along the entire wall that took me three or four visits to realize it was all just a bowl of "noods" in art. There are little noodle dudes playing throughout it. The music is loud, it has a hip hop flair to it that just adds to the whole Memphis vibe. The tables are jam packed and I have never been there when it's not completely full. This gives me a great feeling of togetherness when I'm here. The mixture of patrons is that in which I do not believe you will find anywhere else in Memphis. All kinds of ethnicities, genders, and socioeconomic status, can be seen here. You are close enough to just have a conversation with the people around you and see what they had to eat. ;) I love the staff. Talk about even more diversity! There are so many types of people working here. It's hard to describe, you just gotta go. I think this helps add to the charm that brings in so many different customer backgrounds. They all work together to get you some great service man. Food is fucking killer! All of the things I've had were absolutely fantastic. They make the noodles here every day fresh and do not allow you to get them to go, as it would not be anywhere near the same experience if you didn't eat them right as they hit the table. Speaking of that, food comes to you as it gets ready, not all at once. Be ready for that My favorites are GFC Wings, Impossible Rolls & Dumplings, and the Potato Dumplings. I struggle to get away from them and try new things because I crave these things each time that I leave. I must branch out! I MUST BRANCH OUT! '24 - 37/100 read more

This trip to Good Fortune didn't live up to the flavorful experience we had last time. First off, the wait was pretty long. We arrived, put our name down, and were told it'd be about 45 minutes. We went next door to a bar to kill time, but when we came back at the 45-minute mark, they told us it still wasn't ready--even though three tables were open. An hour and 15 minutes later, we finally got a table, but only because we kept asking if anyone was going to sit at those open spots. I ordered the lemongrass mojito, which was fine, but honestly, it wasn't a mojito at all. It only had mint as a garnish on top and none in the drink itself, which was a bit disappointing. On a positive note, the crawfish dumplings were amazing--10/10, and I'd definitely order them again. However, the chicken ramen was very bland. It had little to no flavor, and honestly, I could've just added soy sauce to it and it would've been better. I ended up not eating much of it and brought it home to add garlic, hoisin, and soy sauce to the broth, which made it more palatable. Even then, the chicken was underseasoned and overcooked. All in all, I'd probably skip the ramen if I return, but I'd definitely come back for those dumplings. read more

So good we came back a second night in a row! Everything on this menu looks incredible, and everything I've had so far was great! First night was the tendies and the tofu bowl, both awesome! The chicken was light and crispy and flavorful, and the general tsos tofu was delicious. Night two was the pork bowl and the spring rolls, made extra tasty by some chili crisp. The red envelope cocktail was bomb. Couldn't leave without some taiyaki to satiate the sweet tooth, and the blueberry yuzu soft serve was great! Staff was friendly and the service was fast. Great spot, not super frilly inside but will definitely come back! read more

This place is amazing!! We had a 20 minute wait, but it was definitely worth it! The place is small, but the food is mighty!! My sister and I sat at the bar and were greeted and served water immediately. The bar tender offered recommendations for us. My sister ordered the chicken rice bowl and impossible dumplings. I ordered the spicy pork noodles with corn and chicken and pork dumplings. We had the GFC wings for our appetizer. I also ordered the Fresca drink which is on the content inspired menu. Everything was so good! 10/10 highly recommend!!! read more

Good fortune is an essential restaurant for any downtown Memphis South Main lovers. Featured cocktails with fun cups always hit. Whoever they hired to decorate their interior with wall art is totally awesome, because I always find myself studying the wall throughout the meal. My favorite dishes are the coconut curry, wings, tofu, and pork dumplings. It's hard to go wrong, though their rice dishes are not as good as the noodles. Definitely come a bit early, since they are very popular and don't take reservations!! read more

Came here on a Wednesday night with a group of 5, and we waited about 20 minutes for a table. We started with a couple of cocktails. The Get Lucky lunar new year special was lovely, and the Old Fortune was a clever take on an old fashioned. From the bites menu, we had the charred edamame and the tofu bites. I thought both were incredible, but the tofu seemed to have a slight edge among the group. We had the birria dumplings, which I thought might have been the best thing of the night. Obviously not the most traditional thing, but the tender meat and gooey cheese hit all the right notes. I could have been done there and happy, but we couldn't resist also getting the spicy pork noodles. They have a serious kick, but were very good. Perfect noodles, perfect ajitama. Pork could maybe be sliced a little thinner and be cooked a little less? But still very good. One person found room for the taiyaki, which this month was ube and vanilla. She gave it two thumbs up, and I'm definitely going to try it next time. read more

We went to celebrate my son's birthday. The hostess could have cared less and was anything but welcoming. The woman bartender was dismissive and also not welcoming whatsoever. We were told the wait would be 45 minutes so we sat in the bench by the bar. I went to order drink but was told I could not because it is only for bar seating which is reserved. So we waited and were finally seated. Our waitress was very nice and did a great job. The food was very good. I support our small businesses, but the people in front of house are what made our evening and experience less than special. read more

I'm staying around the corner from this restaurant right now for business and decided to give it a try. I had looked at the menu before going and some things looked really good, when I was seated the waitress I had was super sweet and explained everything great. I ordered the steamed pork dumplings the cucumber salad and the chicken with rice dish. The dumplings were quite tasty, and it's pretty hard to mess up cucumbers in a vinegar sauce, now the chicken dish looked great and the sauce was tasty but the chicken was deep fried and it didn't say that on the menu. The chicken was basically inedible to me, so I basically picked around the plate at the rice. The waitress apologized and even removed it from the bill, which I more than made up for with the tip. All and all the place is really cute but the food falls way below the average mark for me. My journey continues... read more

This place is next level! Seated by a gracious host and attended to by an amazing server, we had an EXTRAORDINARY meal. The mocktail (with a spicy sugar salted rim and grapefruit juice with a gochujang syrup) was outstanding, as were the teriyaki wings and the chicken-based ramen with the most tender, toothsome noodles I've ever had. Vegan tres leches cake (how was that vegan?) for dessert. This is a MUST if u are visiting Memphis, a lovely city with even lovelier people. Can't wait to return. read more

Obsessed with Good Fortune! My friend recommended Good Fortune, and I'll admit, i was a little hesitant at first since it's a newer spot downtown. But now? I'm addicted. I literally dream about the food. I've woken up wanting it. That's how good it is. They're open from 4 PM to 10 PM which honestly, I wish was earlier and they don't offer takeout officially, but I still go, order in person, and get it packed to go. Worth it every time. Now let's talk food the tofu bites are insane. Crispy, flavorful, and addictive. I had the rice bowl with tofu bites, cashews, and a spicy bomb sauce oh my goodness, absolutely delicious. I'm a pescatarian, but I noticed the chicken is made with the same base as the tofu bites, and if I ate chicken, I can only imagine how fye that is too. The drinks? Also on point. Everything I've tried so far = 10/10. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and go. read more

One thing I'm gonna do is wait for good service and good food and our experience at Good Fortune Company was all of that! I'd been craving Chinese food for a few days and we were trying to find a spot to eat. Some of our besties hit us up wanting to get out of the house and we ended up downtown. Upon checking in, we were told it was a 45 minute wait and decided to stick around. The adjacent patio was open and unoccupied, so we asked for some waters and parked outside to catch up. Once we were seated inside, I told our server that I was going to eat everything on the menu...I was only half kidding. I proceeded to order so much food that I forgot I wanted a drink! Hubby and I shared the edamame and wings. Well, he ordered the wings and I called marriage tax and got one for myself. I then went after the chicken rice bowl. I couldn't finish it and had to make a life decision. I asked for a to-go container and dessert. Since I'm watching the amount of dairy that I ingest, I opted for the ube cake. I *think* it's GF too but honestly, I don't remember and couldn't have cared at that point because it was so good! I let my friend taste some of it and then took the rest home to enjoy for a midnight snack. The staff was incredible and kind and as accommodating as they could be with a crowd. We never felt like anyone was impatient and everyone there was pretty nice, patrons included. This is definitely a spot that will go on the list of regular places to try. Aware of the fact that I was looking for Chinese food and ended up at a Japanese fusion restaurant is only a minor detail in this story. We'll definitely return soon for drinks and apps. read more

Food was tasty, service fast and place had a cool vibe. So what was the issue? For me at least, the big city chicken pho didn't come with enough broth and bowl was smaller than I'd get at the H-town pho shops. The noodles are hand-made but are not rice noodles. The chicken is thigh meat which I love but was fried with a coat on it and a bit hard to chew. My spouse had the pork pho and the bowl was bigger. Also I don't like that with only 2 people there was an automatic 20% added to the bill. Would I go again? Yes but now I know! read more

I forgot to take a picture of my meal but let's get into what I did remember to capture. First, the sailor Saturn cocktail is for anyone who likes sweet and tangy. It's very good. I definitely should've ordered two. Next, the ube cake. So soft, the frosting is fluffy. Just so good. And it's the perfect amount of sweetness. It satisfies the craving without being overly sweet. My actual meal was the kimchi and wings. The kimchi is a little spicy but good. I'd like a little more seasoning on the wings but they're not bad. Overall, great vibes and exceptional service. It's becoming a downtown favorite. read more

This place is good, but definitely not the best ramen I've ever had, but a solid choice. Their ice cream dessert was probably one of the best ice cream desserts I've ever had. They could also work on their staging of food, they brought out 3 of our entrees and then we had to wait a good 5-10 minutes for our other party member to be served. They automatically add in a 20% tip so know that going in. It was $163 for 4 ppl, we all drank water, had one appetizer, all four got ramen and 4 ice creams. read more

This place was booming but we were sat pretty quickly. The hostess and wait staff were very friendly and helpful. The waiter explained the menu selection. The sake is a great deal in my opinion. The birria dumplings were my favorite. I wish I'd order more dumplings. The chicken tenders were fried and battered quite hard which made them difficult to eat. The pork ramen wasn't a hit at the table either. I'd still recommend this place overall. Perfect for a date night dinner. read more

Seriously some of the best food I've ever had! Everything I had was delicious!! The charred edamame was so much more exciting and flavorful than plain steamed beans. The wings were perfectly crunchy and juicy. The crawfish dumplings resembled a Crab Rangoon, but better. Coconut curry noodles - WOW - the tofu was amazing and I could just drink that broth straight. Lastly, the matcha and strawberry swirled ice cream was a perfect combo to top it off. Service and vibes were great. Would have loved to sit on the patio! read more

New to Memphis, searching for good Asian food... and this is my go-to place. Great cocktails -- staple like Bruce Lychee is a favorite, but they have interesting new/seasonal ones, which I always like to try. Great appetizers -- I know Memphis is known for wings, but the wings here are my favorite. I also love the impossible meat spicy wontons (they're the closest thing here to Din Tai Fung's, IYKYK) Noods are hit or miss for me. I've loved the Spicy Pork and Street Corn Mazeman. But the Miso Fungi and Classic Mane, just ok. Service is great, just know they do automatic tip like a lot of restaurants in downtown Memphis. And no takeout only (at least in the time I've lived here and eaten here 5+ times). You can get takeout (for example, wings!) after you order for there. Btw, indoor and outdoor seating means I've never had to wait too long. Outdoor seating plus is that it's covered and has heating lamps. read more

I would recommend this place for date night or sharing drinks and appetizers with a few friends. The appetizers were the highlight of my meal! My favorite dish was the Sichuan honey butter wings. The server was highly knowledgable about the menu and gave detailed recommendations. The service was also so fast, I barely had time to ask for something before it appeared on the table! If you are curious about Asian cuisines, this is a great place to be introduced to some classic flavors. For example, I tried ube for the first time in their ube cake and it was delightful. Their drinks are unique and beautifully balanced as well. I will definitely be returning - especially because I can't stop thinking about those wings! read more
