    no meat in the general tsos "chicken"
    Michelle S.

    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!

    Wonton Soup (eh!)
    Gerald S.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

The delicate…read morewontons were packed with flavorful filling and coated in a rich, aromatic chili oil that delivered the perfect balance of heat, spice, and savory depth. The sauce had just enough numbing warmth without overpowering the dish, and every bite was incredibly satisfying. The texture combination of silky wrappers and bold sauce made it an unforgettable starter. Beyond the appetizer, the restaurant offered a warm atmosphere and attentive service that made the dining experience even better. The presentation was thoughtful, portions were generous, and the flavors tasted authentic and carefully prepared. If you enjoy dishes with a little spice and a lot of flavor, the wontons in chili oil are absolutely worth ordering. I would definitely come back just for them.

The standout for me was the Jiang Bei Hot Sauce Live Whole Fish, which was packed with flavor and absolutely worth ordering. You can split this dish amongst a whole family since the portions are huge! The General Tso's Chicken is always a classic, and I love the tender chicken drenched in tangy sauce. This is where things got a little tricky. We had a reservation but ended up waiting about 40 minutes past our reservation time to actually be seated. On a busy weekend, I understand restaurants can get slammed, but waiting 40 minutes after having a reservation is frustrating. It seems like their weekend reservation situation can get a little chaotic, so just be prepared to practice your patience. Once we were seated, the staff was fine and the service was efficient. Overall, I'll return for the food or get takeout but just be prepared to wait a bit.

All of the above were true, and the food was quite good too. Each of us got a lunch special w/ Thai Basil Beef, and it was a good dish. I enjoyed the wonton soup and side of rice too, and it was a really great price for all of that. Service is pretty fast and friendly; the waiter switched our soup orders by accident, but when he came back to bring more stuff, he noticed when we had switched them, which I give him some credit for. Everything is nice and fast, no issues there. Inside, it's a pretty good amount of space, and nice decoration throughout. My friend and I both thought the door to get from the foyer into the restaurant had a really nice design. Everything in there is clean and nicely put together.

Thus, while service was reasonable, a person shouldn't assume anything about anyone: not these days, nor any era. To give each customer the benefit of doubt is the most basic of refined manners. The food, however, is well prepared and fresh in quality. The restaurant does seem to cater towards a more elderly audience based on the presentation styles and music choices. While the vegetables and shrimp dishes were clearly fused from different cultures to some extent, the fried rice might have had a bit too much salt as diabetes is on the rise these days--so we tend to choose lighter salt in meals. The pricing could also be more reasonable for simple and traditional choices.

The rainbow roll has no tuna, and one of the rolls I ordered without sauce was made with spicy sauce. I didn't care for it, and at least one order of shumai was never delivered. I tried the garlic sesame string beans which were fantastic, the pad thai wuth shrimp had 2 little shrimp and too much noodles, the sauce was a little off. My issue was being told we could take home leftovers for no charge to avoid a wasted food fee. Then the manager said extra $5 for to go boxes, so they can just throw food away. I personally don't care for sushi rolls that have too much rice, something spicy and not a lot of fish. Besides the Valentines roll that was not as described at all. I prefer Takumi in Sayreville.
