I honestly can't rave enough about this place. If I lived closer, I'd probably eat here every day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious food and excellent service, will definitely be back!

Sesame chicken was crunchy outside, moist inside -- perfectly executed. Fried rice and crab rangoons held their own alongside it. Dinner portion with fried rice and crab rangoons on the side. $27.06 before tip for food that punches well above that price point. I'll be honest -- I'm picky about Chinese food. Fortune House earned it anyway. SAS Verdict: Approved. One of the better lunch finds in Irving. Don't sleep on it.

There was significantly more onion than beef, and the beef itself was not tender. The overall flavor was also lacking and not what we expected. - Salt & Pepper Pork was also not very tender and lacked the flavorful seasoning we were hoping for. - Eggplant (lunch portion) was the highlight of the meal. The eggplant had a good flavor and was enjoyable. However, the egg roll that came with the lunch was soggy rather than crispy. Overall, the eggplant was good, but the Mongolian beef and salt & pepper pork were disappointing, especially considering the dinner portion and quality of the meat.

We stopped by on a Sunday on July 5. It was packed even at 2:30 pm but that is a good thing because food was moving. I was pleasantly surprised that it was a better looking on the inside than it was on the outside. It had a cafeteria feel and several customers have complained about the worn seats and tables. It was fine by us since we knew this was not fine dining, They had plenty of hot items and the temperatures were pretty hot for the hot item preventing germ spread. I did not dare to try the cold items such as the sushi, sashimi, and raw oysters. Other customers have fared fine. The food was tasty but it also a place of gluttony. The one off putting thing was that when I went to bathroom, someone had thrown up in the sink. I pushed on because this was not the restaurant's fault. Some folks complain that they charge for toddlers. I did not mind because their prices were so low, I was wondering how they were making a profit. I returned to the bathroom later, and this time, someone had thrown up on the floor. The staff was cleaning all of this mess rather quickly. This is place of gluttony as customers stuffed their faces. Chances are that they had been in the sun and drank a little too much alcohol before they came. It was interesting experience since most of the customers seemed to be Mexican and African Immigrants. I liked the vibe of the place even though I was a little cautious at first. Go check it out of you have an open mind and aren't grossed out easily. I am not sure if I will return, but I am glad I at least tried this place out.

+++PANDA EXPRESS MADE FRESH+++ Ok, so its not authentic and it has a banal interior. So why 4 stars? Its a great value for the location. Its perfect for the people who live, or work in this neighborhood. Basically offers cheap food made fresh to order, you normally only get this near college towns. I'd say its the best food for the 5-8 dollar range in this area. If your not from this area I wouldn't recommend you make a special trip for the occasion. It certainly tops Pei Wei, Empress of China, Grand Buffet and all the other Chinese restaurants in the one mile radius of the Macarthur Market Neighborhood. Oh and I'm pretty sure its BYOB as they don't have a liquor license. read more

My whole order was messed up. Have been a customer for years and ordered today after a long time due to covid. Everything in my order was wrong. Even though they know who I am and know my regular order, no attention was given. The employees behind the counter spent more time glad-handing and conversing with the WHITE customer before me (apparently you're treated better in these Chinese restaurants if you're WHITE; shouldn't be surprised by this racism in Donald Dump's America). In addition to order being wrong, the yellow sauce I usually get was completely watered down. This place has gone downhill, in customer service and quality. Won't be back. read more

And the kung pao was a bit of a revelation, in the sense that I have only ever made it at home but not ordered it anywhere, so Wu's was my first impression of it from a restaurant. Loved it so much I am tweaking my own home recipe to match it better! That's saying something. There has also been some not so amazing stuff though: the pork fried rice, not memorable or impressive, chewy meat, no real flavor. Duck tasted great but was unfortunately overcooked and a bit dry. I would still return here though. Portions are huge, prices are great, and overall they will fulfill your cravings for takeout Chinese.
