My favorite Chinese Restaurant. Good food and large portions. Owners are very nice. My favorite is the Mongolian Triple.

The only Chinese restaurant we go to anymore. Very happy with the food selection, and it's always delicious!

Good food, nice prices. Odd hours (closed 2:30-4:00 and Sundays). Have to call or walk in to place carry out order. Try the chicken curry, hot and soup, and twice cooked pork. Appears to be family owned and operated. Check new menu pictures. Prices 5/17/2024 read more

See all

My neighborhood Chinese spot - it seems like everyone comes here for their to go orders! I'm always greeted with a smile and the food is always made fresh and tastes fresh. It's the hole in the wall vibe yet clean. The hot and sour soup is full of yummy bits and my scallops and shrimp are always cooked just right and not overcooked. It's the local spot with family favorites. It's not big chain and you're going to wait a little bit for your food because there's usually only one guy slaving in the kitchen. read more

Just moving here. Food is great. Service is great classical music lovely Chinese artwork Big gorgeous fish tank adds to the ambiance.

The food is ways amazing I normally get Mongolian beef with egg drop soup and the cooked to perfection cream cheese wontons and the service is wonderful read more

Ordered Singapore noodles, not what I expected, but it was delicious. It was a large portion and I ate the whole thing. I will be back.

Ordered orange chicken with white rice; the chicken was real and definitely hand breaded! The sauce however was not citrusy or spicy and just tasted sweet, bland. read more

Decent hole-in-the-wall American Chinese restaurant. Nothing out of the ordinary here. Well executed food. Clean dining room. Efficient staff. Great if you are near-by, not worth a trip otherwise. read more

If you really know what you want then you get that. I think the food is delicious, course customer service may be stress some time because there usually is only 2 people there. So when ever they open there pretty busy. Sometimes they are just closed so there is no way I can buy from them. But if they open I guess earlier they would get more of my business since I'm just down the road to them The building is not outside appealing. And we always drove by, and never stop, until we gave it a try, and wow, we were missing. Great food I love it. read more

My go-to restaurant for high quality, delicious Chinese food! I have tried several others but nothing compares to Fortune Express in my community. read more

This place is terrible. The wait for food is about 45 minutes to an hour. The food, especially the white rice, comes out cold and the meat, especially the pork, is tougher than stones. Have a very bad stomach ache after a few minutes of ingesting the food. Never going here again. Gonna go throw up now. read more

This is by FAR my favorite Chinese restaurant in Cincinnati!! Their food never disappoints and the service is always friendly and welcoming. I've been coming here ever since I was little and I always make sure to show this restaurant to my friends! read more

Excellent and consistency good. Service is great! We order takeout from here 2-3 times a month. The food is always fresh, hot, and full of flavor. I'm extremely picky about Chinese food, and have to say that Fortune Express is my favorite. The rice is perfect! Beef with mixed vegetables is my favorite, with Beef Fried Rice as a very close second. The Cream Cheese Wontons are delicious, as are the Spring Rolls. So happy to live near such a gem! We've never dined in because we live so close. With 2 kids, it's nice to go pick something up and eat at home. Sometimes the phone rings and rings when I call to place an order. I don't mind waiting a few minutes and then trying again though. They can get busy and don't ignore customers who are in person to answer a phone call. I've also seen the owner go in the back and cook, so it's an all-hands-on-deck type of establishment. I respect that and don't mind being patient. The quality, price, and service are worth it. read more

Good Chinese cuisine is hard to find where ever you go. When we moved into the area we immediately looked for the closest place for take-out. Fortune Express ... a pleasant surprise. We've patronized the restaurant a few times now and I'm more than happy at the quality and taste of the food. I'm a huge fan of their Singapore Noodles (some places call it Singapore Mei Fun). I'm rather picky about this dish and I can tell you that Fortune Express has nailed it. I could argue that it is the best I've had prepared. Another thing I do like about the restaurant is their spring rolls and egg rolls. They are not of the ready-made freezer quality. They do make their own. If there is one thing that turns me off to a Chinese restaurant is laziness in making their own rolls. They do it very well here. Bonus! I did not give them 5 stars for two reasons. The take-out is excellent. However, the restaurant itself is plain, dated and kinda meh. My overall experience probably would have been a little different had I eaten inside. The other reason ... well we kept having to go back in to order after asking for menus to be put into our take-out bag after the first three visits. We didn't get one. Frustration (personal, because I didn't have them hand me one; and them because they kept forgetting) set in and I finally grabbed one. Anyway, we'll be going back for sure. Good prices, good food. read more

Excellent Asian cuisine with great prices to boot! The family that owns this establishment is very friendly and always make you feel welcome. Lunch specials are very affordable and offer large portions for the price. Small parking lot, but there is ample parking on either side of Compton in public lots only a short walk away. I would also rate this place 5 stars but I agree with other yelpers...interior is small and dated. Much more suited to carry out than a lengthy sit in meal. Highlights include: Super Tasty Fried Rice Dishes, Steamed Wontons that are the Bomb, a Cute Cashier and (Romance of the Three Kingdoms buffs take note) a Shrine to the Chinese God of War Guan Yu! read more

This is my absolute favorite place to get Chinese food. The food is always delicious and hot, and it's always fresh so it's worth the slightly longer wait than some places have. I used to hate egg drop soup until I had it here! The owner's incredibly friendly, and I'm pretty sure she knows my whole life story and my entire immediate family from how often we go there. She's got a great memory and always remembers her regulars. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

Best Chinese in Cincinnati. A hidden gem of Mt. Healthy I recommend it to everyone. Small family owned establishment, we have ate here for over 10 years. Owners are incredibly nice, and food is delicious. Pad Thai is my entree of choice, with the cream cheese wontons, and hot/sour soup. read more

I'm rating this on their food and service, not the atmosphere. As others have mentioned, the decor is older and a little worn. However, the owners are excellent and remember our orders whenever we come in. They always happily change a meal due to my needs. Current favorite of mine is Schezwan vegetables with tofu. Family loves orange chicken, sweet and sour chicken, moo goo gai pan, Schezwan chicken, egg rolls and hot and sour soup. Prices are very reasonable, and lunch is a great deal. read more

This is my favorite steak & rice dinner. The cook isn't very nice!!!! He needs to remember who keeps him in business, his customers!!' read more

Fortune Express is a small restaurant run by a family. They owners are extremely friendly and the food is always delicious. We are never disappointed and the order is always correct. This is by far our favorite Chinese restaurant and it's close. During these trying times, it's these small businesses that we want to survive! I always recommend them to my friends. read more

So, this spot is very different from the other Chinese spots I've ever been to. The atmosphere is okay, decor can use a lot of work, the restroom lights are dim and dark, but the service is good. They seem to only be open certain hours within the day. From 2:30pm-4pm they're closed and reopen right after until 9am. Menu size is good. We ordered coca cola's and it felt bland and old. No fizz or anything that comes from a soda. They don't have kid size cups. My kids got large styrofoam cups while my husband and I (the adults) got small glass cups. For the kids we ordered a side of fries and chicken wings, my husband ordered the lo mein with shrimp, and I got the chicken broccoli with fried rice. My husband enjoyed his lo mein, it was a good portion and good amount a spicy for him. He also had wontons which he too enjoyed. My three year old ate the very thin almost burnt French fries that lacked a bit of salt. I enjoyed the chicken wings, it was probably the best thing on the menu for me. I didn't like my chicken broccoli. This is the first I've seen this dish white in color, with mushrooms, and very soft. The fried rice was also light in color and lacked flavor. I couldn't finish this dish at all versus all the other times and places I've ordered the same dish and finished my plate. Tables are not cleaned up right away, I guess they're not busy enough to do so right away. Overall, my personal experience was rated a 2 star and my husband gives it a 4 star. read more

Fortune Express - a child sitting at a table with food - Chinese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This is a place you might just drive past if you didn't know what great food awaited you inside. Have tried several dishes and have never been disappointed. Decor may not be great but I don't eat the furniture or decorations. Best chicken lo mein around! read more

Ordered carry out based on a menu we found online since this is super close ( less than 5mins) to our new home. When hubby went and picked it up they didn't give him a receipt or a menu for future orders. He got home and said there was an issue. Either the prices on the menu we found were WAY wrong or an item that wasn't listed cost double what it cost anywhere else or the person over charged him by about $10. The egg roll was really small. The sweet and sour shrimp (unlisted item) was a bit greasy. The sause was on the side; which is fine; except the veggies (onion and bell pepper) weren't even warm. The combo lo mein and fried rice were ok. Don't think we will be going back when hubby works 2 minutes from a great Chinese place. read more

We love this restaurant. Great food and the family that owns it are always friendly. Everything we've ordered is delicious. Chicken Fried rice spicy, Mongolian beef, and the egg rolls are amazing!! read more

Great food. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. A good place for carry out or dining in.

Read the other reviews and decided to try. Very pleased. Asked if they could steam my selection rather than prepare in wok. Offered to steam any entree I chose. Very tasty, reasonably priced, and good service. read more

Wow, I've lived in Mt. Healthy since 2003 and only today tried Fortune Express. It is so nondescript from the outside that I always figured it was just one of those generic American Chinese restaurants which do not appeal to me. But I was pleasantly surprised. The Singapore Noodles (with tofu) were delicious. Truly, I savored every bite. And my friend ordered the Happy Family, and we both found it quite fresh and tasty, full of vegetables and with a light, not overbearing white sauce. The portion sizes were large enough that you can make two meals out of each entree, and the prices were quite reasonable. As I paid my bill, I saw the owner working in the kitchen, and it was evident that he was preparing the food to order. While the menu is one of those typical encyclopedic multi-page Chinese menus, and not anything glitzy or trendy, the food itself is well worth coming in for. And the service was attentive, the server gracious and kind. And the bathroom was clean! All in all, a humble restaurant that I would gladly return to when I get a craving for Chinese. read more

Best value for a big delicious lunch on the upper west side! $5 will get you soup, rice and big serving of the entrée of you choice. My favorite is the hunan beef. It's tasty. read more

After reading the good reviews I decided to stop by. I waited for about 10 minutes before my to go order was taken. There was no menu to look at only the menu on the counter. Because not everything is tall, it was some what hard to read. Since it wasn't busy and there was no one else at the counter I expected quick service. When the worker finally came out, she answered the phone, set up some orders, THEN helped me. Told me it was a 20 minute wait on a simple order of sweet and sour chicken with rice. Food was ok, not the best. I had to wait about 30-40 mins for ok food. Take out at that! I highly recommended you call in your order. They seem to prioritize phone orders rather than In person orders. Not coming back. read more

Been coming here for years. Best Chinese food around. Would recommend this place to anyone.

From the first visit since opening the food has been always great quality and consistently tastes excellent .

As a recent "transplant" from the east-side of town, my husband and I tried this restaurant for the first time this evening. We got the Triple Crown and rice noodles with veggies and chicken. It was absolutely delicious! Both dishes were so fresh and flavorful. So glad we stopped in. Will definitely be coming back read more

Absolutely the worst Asian food I have ever eaten. The fried rice was not edible; it tasted stale and was nothing but rice. The schezwan chicken was not spicy and there were huge chunks of chicken in a tasteless sauce. I would rather pay a little more for better food. Someone needs to give this restaurant a cookbook and lessons from Chef Ming Tsai. read more
