This is the best Chinese food I've had, other than my fiancé's mom's cooking. I ordered the Sesame Chicken lunch special that comes with rice, a veggie roll and soup (dine-in only) and added broccoli. I appreciate that the sesame chicken was made of white meat instead of dark meat and it was perfectly soft. They give you plenty of sauce, which was delicious! And the wonton soup was the best I've had. It has a chicken base flavor and is quite delightful. Of all the places I've tried, this is one I'll be going back to! read more

Food is always great , the service is also good they even remember our names from going so many times , it's so quick the place looks nice inside read more

Typical run-of-the-mill fast Chinese restaurant. My coworker and I came here for lunch on a Thursday and were greeted, ordered, and began eating our soups within 10 minutes. Another 3 minutes and our food arrived. SUPER QUICK and a very easy option if you're in a rush for lunch. The lunch menu is expansive, covering front and back with many options. I ordered the Beef with Fresh Mushooms - for $7.50 it comes with a store-bought spring roll, your choice of white or fried rice, soup, and a surprise crab ragoon. My coworker ordered the Mongolian Chicken and his plate looked much more delicious than mine. Although the vegetables in my dish were fresh, the beef had that odd soggy texture and the entire dish was very, very oily. The flavor was good so I picked out all of the vegetables and left the beef. Service is quick. For less than a $10 lunch in the area, you can't beat it. I'd come back and maybe try a different dish. read more

I enjoyed the food at Fortune Cookie, great appetizer, as well as soup and my meal. Very friendly service and a nice restaurant. I highly recommend for Chinese food. read more

Had a good experience at fortune cookie last night. Service was great, friendly and knowledgeable about the offerings. The wonton soup was very tasty. The general tsos had good flavor and was crispy. The only piece that lacked flavor was the fried rice. Excited to go back and try the sesame chicken in the near future. read more

I did takeout from here because they are not yet open for dining. The ordering process was good, but pickup was a bit of a process because they had a large line of UberEats and other delivery services also picking up at the same time. At any rate, the food was very good, albeit not as hot as I would have liked it. The appetizers, including the egg rolls, were delicious as well prepared. The entrees were a bit saucy, but overall nicely balanced and good. I would recommend! read more

This place is hands down the BEST Chinese in ATL. Fresh ingredients fresh vegetables, hot food and excellent service. The wait staff and hostess were very professional and tentative. I will definitely be going back! read more

My favorite Chinese restaurant in Atlanta. Been here several times. Service and food are always on point. Order the general tso's and thank me later. read more

Me and my gf were craving Chinese takeout, and we came across this place. She was specifically craving egg drop soup. We were pretty hungry so we got quite a few things. We got a hot and sour soup, an egg drop soup, an order of spring rolls, an order of Crab Rangoon, an order of chicken lo mein, and an order of the chicken w/ Chinese vegetables. Honestly, everything was REALLY GOOD. The only complaint we had really, was that my gf thought the egg drop soup was way too salty so she was unable to finish it. But everything else tasted really good. The spring rolls had a nice crisp. It came in a pack of 2. They gave a side of duck sauce to go with it as well. The Crab Rangoon was crispy and creamy. It came in a quantity of 6 and came with sweet and sour sauce. My hot and sour soup was some of the best hot and sour soup I've ever had. We also asked for an extra bag of those chips they give with the soup! The lo mein was hot and really flavorful and came with a good amount of chicken. And the chicken w/ Chinese vegetables was fresh, hot, and packed with a good amount of chicken as well plus so many different vegetables. It also came with a side of white rice. I was very impressed with the takeout we got from this restaurant and I would definitely come back again. It was pretty reasonably priced too, and we had so much leftovers for the next day. read more

We've tried to frequent this place but no more. Every single time we've been here, the food is NEVER ready on time. We always end up waiting 30-40 min after the food should be ready. It's unacceptable; just let your customers know it'll take a hour rather than saying 15 min only for us to have to another 30-45 min in the parking lot. It's ludicrous. I expressed my frustration to the manager today and she didn't provide any semblance of an apology. I don't expect or want free food or any refunds, just apologize and attempt to rectify the situation by making my food ASAP. Tip: if you're going to order from here, plan to phone a family member you haven't spoken to in years bc you'll have a hour to kill while you wait for your food. There are many other Chinese restaurants in town, order from Golden Buddha instead! read more

Hard to add to the recommendations that are already on Yelp - this venerable Chinese restaurant has been a local favorite for many years. I would place this in the Americanized Chinese food category - sort of old-school make-what-Americans-think-Chinese-food-should-be style through the use of a lot of sweet flavors and wok fried meats. Don't expect the regional Chinese labels to apply in authentic fashion - even those entrees marked as spicy are mild. If you're older, you'll appreciate Fortune Cookie's flavors as reminiscent of Chinese Cooking you had growing up (unless you had access to a real China Town in NYC or California or similar). Every time I've gone I've noticed an older crowd of diners (and often the place is full-up, sometimes with a wait) - this is indeed an old-school crowd that appreciates the food for what it is - some of the best Americanized-Chinese classics around. There are a couple of things that make Fortune Cookie special - the first that is very noticeable, even with the first appetizer, is the freshness of all the ingredients - no left-over, reformed hash here. The veggies are very crisp and the sauces aren't gummy through the over-use of corn starch. I recommend the spring rolls, steamed pot-stickers and the won-ton soup (this last is probably one of the best I've had in Atlanta, with fresh spinach leaves and diced smoky pork - it's a very nice soup). The hot-and-sour soup is passable, however I like it with meat and the use of white-pepper - Fortune Cookie uses black-pepper with a darker, starchy broth. While passable, there are many places with better - stick with the won-ton and you'll be happy. I've tried many entrees but usually end up either getting the spicy chicken (it's basically general tso's served fried, sauced with a side of steamed broccoli) or phoenix and dragon (chicken and shrimp in white sauce with veggies - the latter you'll want to spice up with some chili sauce) - at around $11 not a bad deal. The chicken is very tender (bit of corn-starch expansion there) and soft enough to gum if you're older (heh) - the shrimp are larger and cooked to firm (not rubbery). Part of the veggie mix is fresh bamboo shoot when they are in season - the delicate and fragrant shoot is much better than your typical canned version used in many "schwag" Chinese places and worth ordering on it's own if offered as a special - it has a flavor like no other. Order the hot tea and you're ready to go. While I absolutely love the real flavors found in authentic cooking, there's absolutely nothing wrong with solid, traditional Americanized Chinese cooking - just know what to expect and you'll do fine. This is a good meeting place restaurant for when you have people included that haven't experimented with authentic cooking. The other thing that Fortune Cookie does well is their take-out. You can view their menu and order online - something I wish other restaurants would offer as it's a real winner. If you're in the North Druid Hills area they also deliver. read more

This is one of my favorite Chinese places in the Emory/Druid Hills area. The food is consistent, whether I eat in the restaurant, take out, or have it delivered. My favorite thing they have to offer is the steamed dumplings. I've had both the vegetable and pork, and while I prefer the pork, the veggie are also good! The wrappings are thinner that a lot of places, which is what makes them so good. At this visit, I ordered sesame chicken, which was great. It's a little on the sweet side, but that is what I look for in my main dish. I have also had the sweet and sour chicken and orange chicken and liked them all, though I think the sesame chicken is my favorite. They also serve a quarter of an orange at the end of the meal, which is a nice touch. Finally, something else to note, they have a good lunch buffet on Sunday. I highly recommend it! They have tons of different options and I am on the pickier side, and I still found lots of food I liked. Biggest downside: they don't have traditional eggrolls. They have spring rolls, which are good, but sometimes I want a traditional, big egg roll, which I can't get here. read more

After doing some light shopping in the area, I figured I would stop for some good ole Asian cuisine! This place has been here for years and won all kinds of great rewards for food. I haven't been here in about 5 years so I figured I would go back and give it a try. The location is in a newly build/renovated shopping plaza off of briarcliff. If you are familiar with the Navy federal bank there - it's across the street near family dollar. Parking is a small maze in itself ! It's so weird but luckily for me I got a spot right in front of the door. Atmosphere- it is extremely outdated. Felt really dingy like I was in a 70's lounge and bar. Service - The hostess wiped down the booth we asked for and seated us. The waiter we had did not feel very personable. I felt indeed like I was a number. In fact the last number. She bought us drinks but kept serving every single table around us. We didn't get to order until about 15 minutes later. I ordered the sesame chicken and although it was good, the sweet and sour chicken my daughter ordered was absolutely disgusting. She didn't even finish it. The plates were filthy, the cups were cloudy. The sprite was actually good though (surprisingly). It took about 15 minutes to get her attention to even get the to go boxes but the hostess was able to spot us with a check. When I asked for to go boxes I asked for a cup for my sprite. I'm guessing they don't do things like that because she never came back with one. So I proceeded to fill up my daughters apple juice cup to take it to go. She saw me and never bought a cup. Really over the entire visit. In fact, I don't think I'll be returning. Maybe in another 5 years to see if there are any improvements. Needless to say I didn't leave a drop of a tip. Not one penny. I always feel so bad having to do things like that but it was just down right a filthy unappreciated mess. read more

These people have to be the greediest covid-19 profiteers. They only take phone orders for pickup. Sounds innocent enough. However they take every order until their kitchen is overwhelmed. The person taking the order says "your order will be ready in 20 minutes" unfortunately they say that to everyone. The result is a crowd of people waiting an hour for their food in a cold rain. If the staff can't get the orders ready in the stated time then they need to provide shelter or some indoor accommodations while we wait for their kitchen to catch up. Avoid this restaurant at Thanksgiving and Christmas unless you like to stand outside in the cold. read more

It is a cute oriental establishment, as soon as I arrived I was greeted by the cashier . I placed a TOGO order and had some questions she couldn't answer but overall, this is a once in while type of joint for me . If you are ordering TOGO make sure you ask for eating utensils & also ask what comes in the dishes . Food : Spicy Shrimp LoMein it was quite delishhh to me, even though it had a little bit too much oil and different mix of veggies ( napa cabbage, white and green onion & carrots ). I was very surprise this dish was flavorful . The shrimp was a good medium size so big thumbs up for that . I was pleased with my lunch :) read more

Really good service, it definitely has a mom and Pop vibe to it. Even though the music was low, and it was pretty quiet, they accommodated us in our two year old very well. The waiter even brought him a tiny fork to eat with. The food was great, I highly recommend the fried noodles. We had the General tsos, which was on the sweeter side, but we definitely want to try to braised chicken next time. We will be back! read more

I am sooo picky about the Chinese food in Georgia and I'd say Fortune Cookie hits pretty close to the carry out back in D.C. where I'm from. I got wings, spring rolls, fried rice and sweet & sour chicken.. everything is always good! I also love that they have family dinner options and a large variety. Service was pleasant and professional and dining area was clean and well kept. Definitely will be my go to when I have a taste for Chinese from now on. read more

Yummmm....a Chinese Buffet. It sounded like a wonderful brunch idea for a Sunday afternoon. We lazily headed over to Fortune Cookie, which has a Chinese Buffet every Sunday from 12 - 2:30 pm. The first thing we noticed was the chaotic restaurant staff. It took a few minutes to find us a table as the staff seemed to be frantically running around like chickens with their heads cut off! When we were finally seated, our waiter promptly greeted us. Unfortunately, this would turn out to be an anomaly because our waiter would be MIA for most of the meal. Each time we tried to flag another server down, they would hurriedly walk by us while mentioning that they would "be right back". They always seemed to be preoccupied with some "pressing matter" that took precedence over providing us with any kind of service. Consequently, our glasses were not refilled throughout the meal. The dining room is somewhat dilapidated. We noticed several chairs where the upholstery was literally coming apart! The carpet and chairs, along with the decor could use a serious refresh! It appeared as though this restaurant had not been updated in at least two decades. Onto the food - I opted for the buffet while my wife ordered steamed chicken and vegetables. The buffet offered a fairly wide array of standard Chinese dishes including sesame chicken, beef and vegetables, sweet-and-sour chicken, plum chicken, and various shrimp and tofu dishes. There was also vegetable lo mein, eggrolls, crab rangoon, various kinds of rice, along with several classic Chinese soups. And last, but certainly not least, there were fried chicken wings. As Chinese food goes, the buffet was a mixed bag. I found some of the food to be quite good, while other items were just average. The beef and vegetables, sesame chicken, and sweet and sour chicken were the definite standouts. But perhaps the biggest disappointment were those decadent looking wings, which turned out to be a mirage. They looked incredibly fresh and delicious but had a very strange flavor that didn't resonate with me. I also found several wings that appeared to be undercooked. Oh well...so much for those succulent looking wings. :( On a positive note, my wife enjoyed her steamed chicken and brown rice, and commented that it was definitely above average. I also want to mention that the person in charge of the buffet was quite diligent at replacing any items that were running low. He made sure that the buffet was constantly being replenished at a rate that kept up with the demand. If they could improve the consistency of the food and service, this Sunday buffet has serious potential. But in the meantime, the inconsistent food coupled with subpar service will not have me coming back anytime soon. read more

The food is always delicious and perfect. Alice and Fortune Cookie are loved by the community and we are "fortunate" to have such a great restaurant in our area. I discovered Fortune Cookie over 20 years ago when I moved to North Druid Hills and the food is just as good now as it was then. Consistency is very important to me and Fortune Cookie nails it every time. I cannot praise Fortune Cookie enough. Food, service and all around great place are 5 star read more

Yummy and delicious cold sesame noodles with chicken! The only place in Atlanta that makes it right.

This my go to for Veggie Lo Mein with extra shrimp. I love their team, super friendly and the food is always hot

Always great fresh food! Either dining in or picking up, it's a great experience. Dining in, great staff and nice ambience.

The prices have gone up several times..... And the portion seemed to be smaller..... Not right for loyal customers.

Ok, so straight up...one of these stars is for pure nostalgia alone! I've been coming to Fortune Cookie for at least 15 years, seriously. I love the fact that they know my name and always ask about my family. It's like a Chinese version of "Cheers" LOL. In all honesty, the restaurant is a bit of a hole in the wall. But, for me...that's alright if I truly enjoy the food. Which, I do!!! The exterior of the entire Plaza had a recent makeover and facelift, so it looks better from the outside. But, the food is old school, Americanized Chinese food and its super comforting to me. I've done both takeout and dine in over the years. For the takeout, they are usually earlier than the expected time of arrival, which is nice. When I am looking for a laid-back and tasty, no frills meal (and have the time)...I like to dine in. There are a few staples I enjoy every time--Mandarin Combination (under the Gourmet Specialties) includes Beef, Chicken and Shrimp in "special" brown sauce, with assorted veggies. I pair this with steamed white rice and that dish has been a winner for me on multiple occasions. I'm also a fan of the Phoenix and Dragon, which is Chicken breast and Shrimp in a white wine, ginger, garlic sauce, with assorted veggies. My final "go to" menu item is the Spicy and Tangy Lamb (also under Gourmet Specialties), which comes in a hot, brown sauce with assorted veggies. Again, I have not gone wrong with this dish ever. Overall, I appreciate Fortune Cookie for being exactly what it claims to be...consistently good, solid Chinese food in a dive setting. In all the years I've been coming here, to memory, I had 1 off experience with my meal some years back (sauce wasn't cooked well) and they did their best to rectify the situation. So I don't really have any complaints. If you're in the mood for Chinese food And you're in the area...check it out. You may like it :-). Happy Eating!!! read more

The food here is good, but the prices are absolutely outrageous and keep going up. Today will be my last time ordering from here - $55 without tip for sesame chicken, fried rice, crab Rangoon, and 2 tiny spring rolls. $6 for 2 tiny spring rolls! Their sesame chicken was $15 in December 2021, now in July 2022 it is up to $19!!! Absolutely ridiculous and definitely not worth it. This place has always been pricey but now they are taking advantage and trying to pull a fast one. Go somewhere else for your Chinese fix - head over to Buford Highway and get the authentic stuff. read more

Can I get a "oohh yeah!" from the singles out there?! Fortune Cookie has our back. Their genius 'Dinner for One' (yes, I cringed a bit when saying it) is perfect for a quick dinner take out when you're getting dinner for just... you... and. You. There's a list of eight or so combos where you get two entrees, soup and an eggroll. And if you decide to stay, the interior is actually a lot nicer than the strip mall storefront next to the Dollar Tree. You'll be greeted by swimming fish in aquariums and a fountain or two. Though I would really be entertained if there was some sort of Giant Fortune Cookie decor. . . read more

Fortune Cookie - Chinese Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

How did I not know about this gem before?!?!?! I think this my new favorite Chinese restaurant. The food is so flavorful and tasty. We went on Christmas, which I would not suggest unless you really are "that" person who must have Chinese food. It was packed with a line out of the door at 6:30. but that was ok. They got us seated quickly and gave us a booth since I had 2 kids with me. They loved the fish tank and bubble thingy. So one thing they do here, which I am not used to is that they roll the Mooshu for you. If you do not know what that is, it is thin rice pancakes like tortillas, plum sauce and a mix of veggies and meat. I am used to rolling my own since I am not a huge fan of plum sauce. We had chicken cashew nut and shrimp lo mein. Everything was delish! read more

First and foremost, the restaurant isn't the easiest to see. The signage blends in with the brick and the restaurant is hidden behind large bushes. Onto the review. Food: I only ate here once (yesterday) and I will probably not eat here again. The food is tasty, but for the price I prefer Little Bangkok. I ordered shrimp toast which was a shrimp on top of some soggy batter mixture, taste wasn't bad, but texture was horrible. I also had some hot and sour soup which was no better than any other average hot and sour soup I've had before. My entree was the General Tsu's chicken which was tasty and plentiful, but I still think they charge too much for such a unkempt restaurant. I had the choice of either white steamed rice or fried rice with my entree. I chose the fried rice and it was just average fried rice with a small amount of peas and carrots. My lunch buddy got their jumbo shrimp with asparagus and white sauce and it was very tasty. Oh yea! Their tea was very good too :) Atmosphere: This place is dark, dingy and nasty. THIS is the reason I will probably never set foot inside this restaurant again. There was dust buildup all over the tiles and the vents, the lighting fixture above my table was cracked and chipped, the lights in some of the display cases were hanging out of their light sockets. This place is just horribly maintained. My concern is that if what the customers see is this bad, how bad is the kitchen?! Service: Service was actually good, they made no mistakes and they were johnny on the spot with removing dishes and getting refills, no complaints here. Summary: I would rate the food and service a 4/5, but the atmosphere 1/5 which is why I settled on a 2/5. If you're looking for good asian food, try Little Bangkok, the parking his HORRIBLE sometimes because they don't have much of it, but the food is just as good, if not better, and the atmosphere is CLEAN, albeit a little cheesy or tacky. read more

We order this in for delivery at work. They deliver between 11am - 2pm. I think they close down at 3pm and then then open up later for dinner. I'm not sure it delivery picks up again later, but for the lunch hour, this is right up the street and they don't have a high delivery minimum. When they do deliver its a 3 mile radius. We have called on occasion for them to deliver and was told it would be an hour delivery time only for the guy to show up 20 - 25 minutes later. Some of my co-workers think this is to get us to come and pick it up instead of have it delivered. Will accept multiple payments for delivery also. Today, I went with pepper steak, and it was sooo good. The fried rice that accompanies the lunch portion was at best average, but there was real pieces of steak in every bite in the pepper steak. I don't like when I order pepper steak and its should be called pepper and onions. I've also had the chicken with broccoli and another co-worker faithfully orders the Chicken with Chinese vegetables. We've ordered from here before and today I received a crab ragoon with my meal. Not sure if the co-workers have snagged it from me in the past, but if I would have known that a crab ragoon could be this good, I would have ordered them by the half dozen. I also received a spring roll. Not anything special, I would have preferred an extra crab ragoon. Food taste fresh and they deliver. #1 of 100 read more
