It was a very first time I visited this restaurant. I came here with my friends, and it was a sudden visit not a planned one and it turned out to be amazing. The Resturant is not too big, but I did 25 people can adjust. The service was very warm and welcoming as they served everyone with a cup of jasmine tea, which felt very refreshing. We ordered one one plate of sweet and sour chicken, 1 plate of thin chicken noodle and shrimp fried rice. The chicken noodles and the fried rice was very basic, but we added some chili oil into it and it taste amazing. The sweet and sour chicken was very good, if you have a sweet tooth, you will definitely love it. It's a must try or else you can ask them to raise the hot little bit higher. The service was very fast. We hardly waited for 10 minutes and the amount of food was very good. I would say it's good for four people. The surrounding was pretty much OK as this Resturant is in between the market area of Chinatown so it was quite busy restaurant. The restroom was not that clean. They tried to keep the sitting area an the tables pretty much clean overall I like this experience and I would really plan to visit it again. read more

We were looking for a place to eat while exploring Chinatown and I found this place on Yelp. The woman seated us right away to the only table available. It was a really small restaurant. Bathroom needed a key fob. The woman bought tea to us once we were seated. I ordered the wonton lo mein and my man ordered the beef noodle soup/stew? He said it was really good. My wontons was good, but just warm? The noodles were okay, it was stuck together and had very little sauce. I had to ask her for more sauce. I believe it's a family owned restaurant. The bus boy was a young gentleman who I admire because I could tell he was a good kid. He was on top of cleaning tables and getting guest teas and menus. The environment was chill. read more

This place changed so much since I was a little kid. Came here often after Chinese school. I went for their wonton noodle soup and it was perfectly sized. Looking back, I wish I tried their porridge. Primarily Cantonese speaking but English can get by. Respectfully recommend with my utmost sincere regards. read more

We came in at 430pm on a Tuesday. This place is small and there were just enough seats for our family of five. Plan ahead. The food is tasty. Service is quick. Nothing fancy but the place is clean. The server recommended the chicken wings and I'm glad she did - delicious read more

New Fortune Restaurant - Beef stew won ton not noodle and salt pepper chicken wings - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Finding a good value in San Francisco could be a challenge especially in the cheap and cheerful category. The best deals can be found at mom and pops restaurants and at hole in the walls around San Francisco.This place I went to has wonton soup under $10 . They also have a variety of Cantonese dishes all in the heart of Chinatown in San Francisco. On a November almost at the end of San Francisco Summer and Autumn month stroll in Chinatown I was fortunate to find Fortune Restaurant. Inside Fortune Restaurant there are a few tables. Here you will receive tea without paying for it unlike some places in SF. There is no gimmicks no long history story behind the restaurant. It's barebones minimum decor but the food tastes like you paid a small fortune and got a bargain basement deal for the food. I got the wonton soup and it was flavorful. It was soup for the soul on a day which is at the cusp of being a rainy day in the city. I then got the scrambled egg shrimp rice. It was delicious and savory and the shrimp was okay and complemented the wonton soup. It's one of the best places to grab comfort Cantonese food in San Francisco which will save a new fortune by going to New Fortune Restaurant on Stockton street. Come get food that is "Chinese"its made in the style of the region in China that's "Cantonese"a place you will get free cups of "hot teas "a good place to enjoy different tasty plates at New Fortune but here you will save some money also known as "cheese" It's located at 815 Stockton in San Francisco if you never "gone" you find a a new fortune here just get the soup "wonton" and here they only have shrimp which is okay and other meats but they don't have "prawn" this another recommendation from the San Francisco native "Don Juan" read more

You can honestly throw a dart in Chinatown randomly and it'll always land at a delicious place. As always, I have resorted to utilizing Yelp to ease my stress choice overload, which this place popped up. The salt and pepper pork (popular Yelp order) was very flavorful and tender with a very nice crispy outer layer. The beef pan fried noodles was tasty as well, with a duality of crunchy and al dente. Beef was tender and the bok choy was a nice complimentary ingredient, although it could use more bok choy. As always, and important, I love it when noodle portions are abundant. The front door server was friendly and nice. I also noticed a sense of community in this lowkey small business, assuming some patrons are regulars, and that is a good sign for a business to thrive. read more

Small business with reasonable prices located in Chinatown that opens slightly later compared to others! I ordered the beef chow fun to go, and although it looked so good, flavorful and dark, i was disappointed. The meat was tender and soft but the noodles lacked flavor. It did not have the typical rich soy sauce flavor. The restaurant is small, but the server was really sweet. Hoping it was an off day, and i would try giving their other menus a try. read more

Adjusting up to 3 stars as the food was alright and again, the lady working the whole room was doing the best she could and was relatively kind. -------- Wanted to like this place but I've been waiting inside 45 minutes already for one dish (Singapore chow fun) during off-peak hours (1:45pm) and still no food. It's pretty chaotic inside and service is very slow (one woman is working hard but the place is clearly understaffed). read more

Food had no taste - very disappointing experience. And the lady asked for tips on the way out.

Wonton egg noodle soup ($9) is my go to here, add a little bit of white pepper to make it yummier! The restaurant makes good use of the tiny space and sharing tables is pretty common. One server taking all the orders from phone to in person, so at times you might need to walk up to the counter to order. Weekend can get quite busy, order 3 items: black pepper beef with rice ($12), wonton noodle soup ($9), and wonton rice noodle soup ($9), waited about 30 minutes. You get 8 wonton in your soup, they do not skimp out on at all. The wonton had plenty of filling and was flavorful. Not too salty either. The rice plate is a great size, super flavorful, not too oily for the protein as well. Great prices with options for everyone! read more

I find myself coming for lunch more often not because the food is good but the kitchen actually listens when i ask for low salt & less oil. Everywhere i go i ask for the same thing but they give me lip service, but not here, New Fortune honors my request and i appreciate that. This is a popular restaurant even on the weekdays so be prepared to wait for tables if you come during the lunch time rush. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed every thing we ordered at lunch. We only know a smattering of Mandarin but our server was very patient & helpful. She suggested a great selection for the three of us. Prices were in line for the city, especially considering how each dish was fresh & well-prepared. Stay away from the chains & franchises. Eat authentic with the locals. read more

Tiny, tiny restaurant. Only one wait-person on duty, so if it's busy service can be a little slow, but it's conscientious. I ordered the lamb stew rice plate, not sure what I would get. Plate half steamed rice, half a decent serving of the stew, which is not liquidy as the term stew might suggest, but in a light sauce (not at all spicy). Big but bite-sized chunks of lamb, probably rib meat, because it was well layered with marbled fat, which made it juicy and tasty, not too much fat to eat. But also chunks of bone, so chewing needed to be cautious. Also in the stew: cabbage, which was edible, and deep-fried tofu, which wasn't. read more

Generous portions. Bring cash if you're buying something less than $20 or order something worth $20 because that's their minimum for credit cards. I got the HK noodles with pork chops for $13 (w/tax) and was not able to finish it for lunch and had to finish for dinner. Totally worth it. It's definitely for sharing and absolutely delicious typical hole in the wall Chinese fast food. read more

Found this small local business and wanted to give it a try. Honestly, the food was tasty. The soup with pepper had great flavor and just the right amount of heat. The service was very friendly, and they offered free hot tea, which was perfect for the cold weather outside. A cozy and welcoming spot with comforting food. Definitely worth a visit. read more

New Fortune Restaurant - 1. Wonton Soup() - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

This was a nice little restaurant to drop by on a random Saturday. They were pretty busy in general with a lot of local customers. The patrons there were all pretty nice as well. Also expect to wait a bit for your food since I believe there's only one chef and one wait staff working there. But I do believe it is definitely worth the wait. The food was good and authentic. The portions are pretty large as well. It came out to be about $21 a person with enough food left over for maybe another meal or two, If I was ever back in Chinatown and had lots of spare time, then I would probably drop by this little restaurant again. read more

Decent spot in the city. Have decent food options. Should try as I believe this is a OG spot

Visiting from Texas we wanted some yummy Chinese and this was a great pick suggested by my cousin who is a San Francisco local. The food was delicious and the servings were nice portions we had plenty to take with us. The service was great and the location was right in the middle of China Town.

===TL;DR=== - Curry pigskin fish ball - Shredded pork w/ salted vegetables soup - rice noodles - Dry vegetable with salty pork ribs porridge ===TMI=== Long time customer but I always forget to review them! They're like this hole-in-the-wall, IYKYK. Love a good deal especially in this day and age. Still upholding affordable prices, biiiiiggggg proportions for what you're paying for. My go to here is always their Shredded pork w/ salted vegetables soup - rice noodles, I love those thin noodles. The porridge here is on the fluffier thick end if you're into that but they're very flavorful (my mom approved!). I see many people there also order their fried rice - I suggest you share because it's huge! Unless you have the appetite to devour then have it all to yourself by all means. They might not be the most glamorous or cleanest place but if you want some authentic Chinese food, don't sleep on them. Also, most of the time it's 1 lady running the show (she takes orders, bus tables, clean after people, and ensure the kitchen is doing what they need to) so be patience. Note: If I didn't remember wrong, they are card friendly if your order exceeds over $20 or $25 (forgot which one). Otherwise, cash is appreciated read more

New Fortune Restaurant - (Nov 2023) Curry pigskin fish ball - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Nothing fancy but that hole in the wall you want to go back again and again. They are my go to place for Chinese dishes. Everything is reasonable price, and the food is yummy. My favorite dish is the beef crispy noodles. Everything else I have tried has also been good too. Service is friendly. During lunch rush hour, you can wait a while. They do get very busy and it's a really small place. Just plan ahead if you can. Price did raise a little bit since their vacation but still the best price in Chinatown. read more

Food was bomb, honestly some of the best I've ever had. Everything was fresh, full of flavor, and came out hot. The service was quick and friendly, and the place was clean with a good vibe. Definitely coming back again. Highly recommend. read more

Great food!! Went to San Francisco for a day trip looking for a place I remember had really great chicken but was unable to find. Instead I found this gem in Chinatown. Great food and fast service even while very busy. The food was really good we had the Sweet and Sour chicken and the Beef and Broccoli Chow Mein thin noodle. Food was accompanied by warm tea. I loved this place definitely will be going back whenever I go to San Francisco again. Very busy restaurant Can order to go as well. Seating area is cozy mainly for small groups but they will accommodate bigger groups as well. read more

Fantastic food and kind service! Porridge and tea were delicious on a cold day!! Prices are also very good.

Wonton noodle soup was fire. Very cheap and solid. You'll definitely feel full after eating a bowl for yourself.

Neighborhood restaurant, wonderful food, really great experience and delicious actual local cooking. Small, so be prepared to wait if busy.

You know when you walk in that you're going to eat well. The ambiance is a hole in the wall mom and pop shop, and service was a bit slow but the food was worth it. read more

good food at a decent price. My fav orders are: Hot & Sour Soup, Wonton Soup, Pan Fried noodles w/ beef and beef chow fun.

The food was ok, service was terrible during lunch time 11-12pm, I waited 30 minutes just for my first dish and we ordered 3. Mongolian beef meat was tender, but too many vegetables for my liking, duck ribs were sweet, but watch out for the little bones, the chicken fried rice was the best here. If I returned, I would order the wonton soup with noodles.. the restaurant is small with like 8 tables, so get there early. 3.8 rating. read more

Another no frills Chinatown restaurant that more than makes up for it with amazing food. We were wrapping up our day and heading back to the airport but wanted to eat before we flew home. Our breakfast was tasty so we wanted to have a second round of Chinatown delights. We found new fortune by chance and we're glad we did. We split an order of chow mein. More than enough for the two of us to have a light meal (not enough for two hungry adults though). The beef was flavorful and tender. The veggies were perfectly Al dente. The noodles (we opted for fat noodles) were well flavored and tasty. There is only seating for about 20 people and one server that does both dine in and take out. She was busy - there was seldom an empty table for more than a few minutes - even at 3:30 in the afternoon. With that in mind, service was good. She refilled our water several times. Took our order quickly. And the food was delivered piping hot. I saw a lot of people ordering the won ton soup. I'd love to go back and try that next time. read more

Everything here is amazing! We came on a Tuesday evening, around 5 so it was pretty chill. We got tea served right away and sipped it while choosing from the menu. Lots of options! I chose the string bean beef chow mein and my partner got the Mongolian beef (spicy) with a side of white rice. We got tons of food for the price and it was absolutely delicious. Total came out to just under $40 for two entrees, a side of rice, and 2 sodas. The service was also great, everyone is very attentive and friendly. We will definitely be coming back soon! :) read more

The lamb stew was nothing to write home about. The war won ton soup was very good and the service was on point. Scrambled egg/rice and beef rice were both good! Seafood Pan fried noodle was great.
