    Beef Noodle Soup
    Chris M.

    Food was not bad for the price. Service was good. Ambiance was good. Food was not bad. Prices were average. 3 stars. Beef noodle soup was ok. Broth was average. Very little beef. It's an average bowl of noodles. 3 stars wonton soup. It's just wontons and broth. The wontons were good, but there's no veggies or anything else with it. Overall not bad, but very average.

    I wanted to go for Asian food tonight with my girlfriend and her choice was the Fortune Dumpling House. The food was great. First time trying dim sum in Chico and I was not disappointed. Garlic green beans had a lot of flavor to them. Each dumplings had a great texture and unique flavor to each of them (my girlfriend and I had the pork soup dumplings, barbecue pork buns, and sho mai). Service was also great. Servers are nice. Ambiance is chill, as it was relatively quiet on the Tuesday night we decided to go. Overall would recommend giving this place a try

    Out with my nieceee poos Everything was good ... I like the shrimp dumplings and the fried shrimp balls

    Soup dumplings
    Lisa S.

    Hmmm .. I've been wanting to try this place for a while now because of the soup dumplings and hot pot.. and we've been told by so many people that this place was: "soo good, you have to try it"... but after careful consideration, I think this place is just : meh. It's just okay. The soup dumplings: 6.5/10.. when they brought it out, we left it on the table for couple minutes before trying it and the soup on the inside wasn't hot, but the flavor was there. ($~16 for 6 pieces) Beef hot pot: 4/10 .. you have an option to pick your level of spicy (I choose extra spicy) , the type of broth (I asked for the spicy broth, but when I got the receipt, they gave me the Japanese style broth), and the type of noodles (I choose the yam). For $25 , definitely not worth it. There was no flavor, no spicy and it doesn't come with a side of rice (which it should because for $25?!). They did give a lot of beef, which is a plus.. but it lacked a lot of flavor. Hawaiian bbq: 4/10 ... they gave very little portions of meat (1 piece of rib, couple pieces of chicken and couple slices of beef) and the macaroni salad... lacked flavor. (~$16) The server was nice.. somewhat attentive but overall she did great. When you walk in, the restaurant gave you like a SF Chinatown vibe, which was very cute. They have lanterns hanging, a big island in the middle and smaller tables surrounding the restaurant. It s pretty spacious. They also have a karaoke set up, so I'm sure anyone can go and sing if you wanted to. They also have a huge glass window where you can watch them making fresh dumplings. Overall - it was meh.. we left pretty disappointed but both agreed the soup dumpling was the best out of the three. if we go back, we'd probably focus more on the dumplings / dimsum because that's the only item that had flavor. They also have beef noodles etc, which looks good in the pictures, but reading through the reviews on Yelp, couple people have expressed there is a lack of flavor as well. Total came out to ~$60 for 3 items +$10 tip, so overall $70, so it's pricy. Which sucks because this is the one thing I've noticed about moving to Chico, when these special "niche" restaurants open, they hike up the price of their food for mediocre flavor... and people will pay because these places are "rare" to see in such a small town. These restaurants take advantage of that and mark everything up and make it 5X more expensive than it should be.. ~$16 for 6 pieces on soup dumpling (~$4 per piece)... ~$16 for couple pieces of Hawaiian bbq meat ... $25 for hot pot.. yea... not worth it. Would only recommend to go to check it out and see the inside, I think that's was the best experience, the design/ decoration.

    Bbq pork buns
    Lauren S.

    I hate to leave bad reviews but this place was so disappointing, my husband and I couldn't stop talking about it all night. We tried several items that were already pretty pricey, but hey, we were super excited to try this place for a few months now! First off, we visited at 5:30 on a Saturday night and they were already out of three dishes and two drinks. We ended up trying the Thai milk tea, the spicy crispy chicken, the beef dumplings, the bbq pork buns, the wontons in hot chili oil, and the chicken salad. The chicken and salad were big portions but we spent about $100 total. The only thing that we thought were okay were the bbq pork buns, but they could have used more filling. My husband ate a few of the spicy chili wontons and the crispy chicken, but I personally thought the chicken tasted bad. Old oil maybe? The salad and the beef dumplings were really bad. The dressing in the salad was unexpected and just not good. The beef dumplings were bland and also tasted old. Can't recommend this place to anyone.

    Onion "pancake," pork fried bao, & pork dumplings in the back. Delicious!
    Tanya R.

    Delicious food and sauces, looks great inside/nice ambiance, and excellent customer service. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable, you can see the staff making the food in the front, and there's a lot of seating! Bar, table or booth. Looking forward to coming back.

    shrimp dumplings, siu mai, sesame balls, egg tarts, pork and leek dumplings, Thai iced tea
    A And S W.

    Food was great! We got the dim sum - shrimp dumplings, siu mai, sesame balls, egg tarts, pork and leek dumplings. It all tasted very nice, fresh, and home made! Crystal the waitress was also super friendly and we had a very pleasant lunch! Happy to have this option in Chico! Nice interior decorations too.

    What an amazing dinner! Service was fast and polite, the food came out steaming, and everything was delicious!
    Alison D.

    Wow wow wow! Dinner was amazing! Literally everything came out steaming! Our waitress was also so polite and friendly! And we thought we would only be able to fit a little bit in our stomach but it was so good, we came out of there rolling!

    Beef noodle soup
    Jerry L.

    Went here on a weekday and they still have the soft opening sign up which is fine. They have decorated the place really well and it doesn't look like panighettis anymore. Never had dim sum with Hawaiian before but mostly stuck to dim sum. Got the green onion pancakes which were thin, crispy and good. The pork soup dumplings help up nicely and had a good amount of soup. I appreciated that they weren't screaming burn your face off hot. Also got the shrimp dumplings which tasted pretty fresh and yummy. My kid got the burger and they surprisingly had beer batter fries that were really good! So plus on that. The server was super friendly and nice. Very attentive and patient but we were one of two tables at the end of the night. All in all this is a great addition to Chico as we are lacking decent Chinese food and dim sum. Not the best I've had but good for Chico. Next time will come back and try some Hawaiian bbq and compare to Halo, which I hold in high regard so the bar is set.

    We enjoy eating at the fortune dumpling House.  The staff is great and the food is awesome.   Give it a try .

    My crew and I really enjoy the fortune dumpling House. I bring a dozen young people in and they serve us quickly. The food is very good . We try there dumplings and noodles plus lots of other dishes. They have great service and really delicious food. There prices are below most restaurants in town for the amount of food we order. My bills usually average 10.00 dollars a meal or less. This helps a lot when you are feeding young people. Pioneer engineering and construction gives fortune dumpling House 10 stars . Ohh there's tons of space also .

    Wonton with Chili Oil
    Hl - A.

    The food was great, the ambience was great too. And the food, outstanding. It comes out fresh and hot and the aroma is just mouth-drooling. I'd reccommend the wonton with chili oil and the soup dumplings.

    Omg! The seaweed and noodle knots in the soup!
    Queen N.

    Our hostess Maya was absolutely amazing! Informative, professional and kind! Food is delicious and good portions! Clean and comfortable!

    I reeeeeally wanted to like this place and after many attempts to eat here (and finding them…read moreclosed), I FINALLY discovered them open during the Downtown Christmas Preview. I was beyond excited to try the spicy katsu chicken sando (I literally attempted eating here for 2 months but kept missing their open hours. They are VERY limited). The pricing I was charged was a bit more than what was on their menu, which I hadn't noticed until after the fact. :-/ When the sandwich arrived it was not at all what expected. I looked up the sandwich months ago and it appeared to be a juicy chicken breast between sliced cabbage on thick, fluffy bread. What I got was some beat up, flattened GREEEEEEASY gummy chicken that wasn't the least bit appetizing. It reminded me of frog legs and I was pretty much grossed out after the 2nd bite. The bread was exactly the same as Astesano Bakery Bread and didn't seem "home made" as their menu states. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't (home made) but it sure seemed like the same bread I buy at Safeway. Needless to say I was BEYOND bummed out. I guess that's partially my fault though, I mean... I saw a picture they used to have posted on their menu (it's no longer there) and had expectations that it was going to be exactly the same, which it most certainly was NOT. If I could sum it up in 2 words: Gummy & Greasy. Yuck. The best part was the cabbage so, that's what I ate and ditched the rest of the "sandwich" to the trash. So yeah, $13 + tip for some cabbage. Awesome. With that said, I don't recommend this place for the Sando's but! I may return for the egg rolls. They look good in the pictures however since I got 100% duped this time around, I think I'll ask if anybody I personally know has tried the egg rolls first before I spend any more money here. I do like their outdoor dining and if they could move the ginormous trash bins away from the outside dining tables it would be a great place to dine (who wants to eat next to trash cans??) I'll end on a positive note and say, I did like that they have an option of indoor or outdoor dining, if they move the trash cans, that would be my preferred place to eat.

    Such a lovely and unique spot that adds to the fun of downtown Chico. I just poked my head in to…read morecheck it out today and was totally charmed - it's not Japanese, but the menu items, instant ramen bar and awesome selection of Asian soft drinks and canned cocktails remind me of the convenience stores in Japan that I miss so much. Today I just tried the Hmong sausage and Thai tea. The lady working was sweet and let me sample the tea to test its sweetness. I think it's spot-on. The sausage is perfectly juicy, spicy and savory. It's rich, flavorful, and reminds me of the holidays.
