Every strip mall in America seems to have a Chinese takeout joint as the wok remains in continuous battle with the hamburglar for ready-set-go lunchtime supremacy. For ease of comparison my go-to order at these quick serve waystations is hot and sour soup punctuated with some sesame chicken. Fortune Garden nails it meaning when I'm in the area they're on my speed dial. Four solid stars. read more

Other food is great. Really enjoyed the beef with scallions. However the shrimp toast should not be this dark. It's burnt. read more

Fortune Garden - Shrimp Toast - Chinese Near Me - Lawrenceville, New Jersey

Truly a gem in Lawrenceville! The food is always prepared and cooked to perfection and the service is impeccable!

Good meat filing with thick skins and excellent broth. Hands down the best wonton soup in NJ. Their lo mein is consistently good. Two of my staples I get weekly and are top notch...... read more

We have been huge fans of Fortune Garden for a VERY long time (over 15 years). They have never gotten our order wrong and it's always piping hot. Not sure how little Lawrenceville, NJ lucked out with such a great Chinese food place. read more

Always hot and freshly made. The best fried dumplings in the area, my go to meal. Very friendly neighbor hood spot. Knows you name and your face. Aways a meal I look forward too. I highly recommend. read more

Beware if you're eating at Fortune Garden -- you're about to be RIPPED OFF. I've been looking for a classic Chinese takeout spot in the area and was excited to try this spot! I literally could not be more disappointed. At first glance, it looks promising because it's your standard no frills hole in the wall. I placed an order for white meat general tsos on the phone -- the woman advised me it'd be a $1.50 up charge. The food was ready in 20 minutes and was piping hot but a super small portion and rice came to $13. Half of the pieces in my dish don't even have chicken in them!! They are just fried dough doused in sauce. How do you mess up the most classic dish?! Stay away and find another Chinese takeout spot! read more

Fortune Garden is a shoebox Chinese American takeout spot on Rt. 206, Lawrenceville, NJ. It has all the usual suspects on their menu, with the ubiquitous broccoli and fried rice in every dish they put in a brown bag. If you're in the area and looking for a quick lunch to eat at your desk, this kitchen is as good as any, and better than some. I called ahead for Pork Egg Foo Young and Wonton Soup, and drove up from Trenton in less than 10 minutes. Yes. Fried Rice was plentiful under the two pancakes. While the Wonton was a lesson in future avoidance due to thick dough and questionable meat filling, the Egg Foo Young was actually decent. It was not overly oily, and had plenty of veggies and roast pork strips within. Their brown sauce was lighter than many (a good thing), and did not separate as it cooled. But for the weak effort on the soup, the EFY deserved a higher score. Maybe management will read this and get to work improving those wontons and flavoring up the consumme. read more

Solid takeout spot for classic Chinese American food.  My family has been coming here for years and the food is consistently tasty at this family run place.  Our go-to orders are beef & broccoli and chicken & mushrooms lunch specials with hot and sour soup. Food is always piping hot and ready at the pick up time given by the lady answering the phone who efficiently takes your order.  She wears a mask and gloves, and there is a partition set up between the customer and the register. There is ample free parking right in front of the restaurant with easy access to Route 206.  There's a couple chairs and a table, if you want to eat in, but almost everyone does take out. Do yourself a favor when the craving for Chinese food hits you.  This place does the classics right. read more

The place looked dirty there was gunk on the credit card reader, it's and they don't take Apple Pay, just card and cash the prices were not the same as it was in the menu the the food was way below average. Everything starts with cleanliness. I usually get Chinese when I'm at work and everyone doesn't complain today everyone has to open the windows because of the smell, and the shrimp was a little too soggy read more

ordered food here last night. I went in to pick up and the cook behind the counter did everything with his bare hands. Most platters come with broccoli he took his bare hands and placed All of the broccoli in his hands. I got sesame chicken and they obliterated my food and doused my chicken with spoonfuls of sesame. read more

Great restaurant! Team is courteous and welcoming. Good is always delicious and cooked fresh. Clean restaurant and will continue to visit them. read more

The best food in the area! Excellent customer service every single time. The restaurant is small the ambiance is basic nothing fancy.

Best Chinese Food Around. I have known them for years now and they are very kind! My kids love their food , They always know what we want

Some dishes seem to have fresh ingredients and taste good, though very Americanized versions of Chinese. Some are just plain bad. The negatives are starting to outweigh the positives. Rough manners (to put it mildly). read more

Fabulous ... because it was first time ordering we decided to keep it simple ... a house lo mein and Singapore Mei Fun ... everything was so "FRESH" ... not because it was made to order ... the meats were moist and tender ... shrimp were perfect ... not one rubber texture in the dish ... the texture of the cooked vegetables were perfect as were the size and cut ... thank you ... will order again soon read more

It's a very small restaurant that is pickup only. The owner was very friendly and extremely busy. The food was plentiful and very tasty.

Very friendly service, and the food is good! Wontons are wrapped tight and not overcooked, broccoli is crisp and not soggy. All the signs of a good quality Chinese food restaurant. read more

Take out only, no ambiance...best fried rice in the area, especially the pork fried rice which is tasty and not greasy at a competitive cost! Five stars knocked down due to deceptive pricing... beware they somehow always end up charging a bit more than the menu price even for a cash transaction! read more

Definitely a hole in the wall but some of the best Chinese I've had in the Hamilton/Lawrence area. The chicken is always fresh and I ALWAYS order the wings. They are absolutely terrific. read more

It's a decent Chinese place. The lunch prices are good, you can order onlibe and delivery is quick. My Chix & broccoli was great, just wayyyy too much white rice and very little chicken. I guess that's what you get with only $6 lunch specials. Oh the egg rolls do suck, they are all cabbage. Sorry, I had to say something, bc I love me some egg rolls. read more

Absolutely LOVE this local chinese restaurant. I have been going here since I was little and have always enjoyed it. The family that owns and runs this small restaurant are true hustlers; they make sure everything is packaged and ready to go, nonetheless they want their food to be good. They are speedy, reliable, and very friendly. read more

I don't care for many of their dishes. But their wonton soup is the best in Mercer County. Nothing else is even close. My wife also loves their chicken noodle soup, chicken rice soup and singapore mai fun. Finally, the woman owner of Fortune Garden is one of the nicest people I've ever ordered food from. I'm sure she's one of the reasons that Fortune Garden is successful. read more

I order food for my parents every few weeks and they love it! The family that runs(owns) the restaurant are so lovely. They make sure everyone and everything is taken care of and it shows. Thanks for being so kind to my parents. You guys are amazing!! read more

This was the only place that we could find in the area serving food after 10pm on a Saturday in Tannersville. Food was actually pretty damn good! We had General Tso's, Orange Chicken, Crab Rangoons, and fried scallions. Everything tasted great, especially the Rangoons and the Sweet & Sour sauce. They also had weird hemp drinks that I've never seen back home. read more

Very straight forward Chinese fare that is done well. Chicken and Black Bean is a great chaice with fried rice. Love the customer service.

There is only one word to describe Fortune Garden, and the word is "Unfortunate ". Terrible, oily. Do not get the BBQ spare ribs. Over cooked so hard the meat was inedible. For those of you "Yelp Police", get off my back, I have nothing to do with talent less hacks who should do anything but cook for a living. read more

I am very surprised by all the negative comments for Fortune Garden. We order from here all the time and have never had a problem. The food is always delicious and the woman who works at the counter is so nice. At one point, she knew my brother by name because we went so much. Also, we are always told 15-20 minutes for food and this is usually not incorrect. The only downside to this restaurant is that it is more of a take-out window. It is very small on the inside and has very few tables. read more

This is my take-out Chinese restaurant. They used to deliver before covid; maybe they will again one day. Their (beef, chicken, or shrimp) and broccoli is very flavorful. I am a big fan of the wonton soup; the noodles are hearty and a great bite. We also love the steak on a stick, the boneless spare ribs, the fried rice, and the lo mein. Proprietor Pei is always nice to us. NOTE: their chow mein entrees do not have noodles! Order chicken lo mein if you want chicken with noodes. read more

Consistently good Chinese takeout with generous portions at modest prices. Helpful staff aims to please. Hunan chicken is especially good.

Much better than other reviews indicate! Recommended by a student I know from Hong Kong, who swears this is the best takeaway that delivers in the area. And she ought to know. Tried for first time just now. Woman who took our order was friendly and helpful, and a good communicator. She helped me order without the menu in front of me. When I picked up at their location, food was piping hot and well packed. At home, food was excellent. Boneless spare ribs were very good, and dumplings juicy and tasty. Enjoyed sautéed string beans and eggplant. Portions quite large, good leftovers. Will definitely order takeout again! read more

I love their shrimp fried rice, spring rolls, egg rolls and shrimp and broccoli. I am not a huge fan of Chinese food and have a very small palate but when I have a taste for it, I'm glad I found this place. Beyond the food though the service here is awesome. The lady who is usually at the desk/counter is nice, remembers you by your order and is accurate in timing of food. I will continue to support this place. Only downsides are it isn't a sit down restaurant and they don't offer beverages. read more

We eat there often. They have a nice variety of dishes and we think they make the best Wonton Egg Drop soup. I especially like the boneless BBQ riblettes. The woman who takes the calls and checks you out is very friendly and quickly gets to know your face. In the few years we have been ordering, we have never had a bad meal. read more

Best Chinese food in town. Food is always great, service is always excellent. There's nothing more to say.

I have always had a positive experience with Fortune Garden. The food is excellent and always on time and the service is absolutely amazing. For excellent Chinese takeout, I can always count on Fortune Garden to satisfy my needs. I have tried many other takeout places before, and none have given me the same satisfaction Fortune Garden does. Every single one of the dishes I've tried has been uniquely satisfying. The service is also excellent. The owners are friendly and always polite, and are very accommodating to their customer's needs. The food is always on time, fresh, and delicious. Fortune Garden is one of the best Chinese takeout places in the Mercer County area. For great food, I can always count on Fortune Garden! read more

Very good no msg take out Chinese food place. Fast delivery. Seems like they use fresh ingredients and they give pretty good portion sizes for the price. Only thing I wish is that they had a menu online!! Even just a scanned in one so I could order while I'm on the road. read more

Great Chinese food for takeout and delivery. We order all the time, owners are professional and very and remember what you ordered. Highly recommended read more

This is the ONLY place we eat Chinese food from...everything is made fresh, and full of flavor. Love their cheese wonton, egg rolls, general Tso chicken, all of their fried rice flavors, pepper steak, garlic and chicken, chicken broccoli, omgoodness, where do I stop?! It's all good...and their portions for their lunch specials and dinner platters are enough to share with someone or have leftovers for next day. They will not disappoint! read more

This has been our go to place for many years. We moved a year ago so haven't gotten food from here in over a year. Finally went back today & the nice woman immediately remembered us just from our phone call to place the order. Great food, prices & owners. read more
