This is not one star it's negative stars! What kind of of business puts itself on a delivery site just to cancel the order because it's too far. Then don't put yourself in that area. Oh by the way didn't bother to contact customer but managed to still charge the credit card. Been to the location in Schaumburg and always happy. Live and learn beware of this kind of carelessness. read more

Great Chinese food, probably the best in the area. Watch out! They're having problems with taking orders via Yelp. Ordered at 6:20, called at 7:50 asking where it was and they never got the order. But! They did an excellent job recooperating. They even sent the cashier and the door was rang at 8:16. Great food, just call to confirm your order. read more

I'm not sure if it's the location or the whole chain but I moved from Schaumburg to Hoffman Estates and the Elgin location is the nearest location and serves really bad food. I loved their food but from this location it has been a horrible experience. It's my third time last night and I always order 4 dishes in large for a large party. This location has been a let down every time. That's 10 different dishes with appetizers and side dishes. I put two stars because the delivery is good but not happy with the food at all. read more

This was my first visit. It was recommended by friends, now I know why. All of the dishes were made with high-quality ingredients. Each dish had a distinctly flavorful taste on its own. I wish the egg rolls had been hotter when I ate them because I bet they were spectacular. This is my new go-to place. All excited about it ! read more

Fortune House - Chinese Near Me - Elgin, Illinois

My order of sweet and sour shrimp was horrible. Dried out and over fried and hard. Could not find any shrimp in some pieces. I tried my sweet and sour chicken. Same thing - it was horrible!!! I threw it out and ate the white rice. Very disappointed and would never come back again. F - score horrible food... read more

Love this place! Our go-to dinner when I don't feel like cooking! Take out dinners when you are super hungry or busy. Food is always great and plentiful. Especially love the pan fried dumplings. The sauce is outstanding! (Goes great on egg rolls too!) SO glad they are in the neighborhood!! read more

We moved to the area not long ago and every Chinese place we tried so far was terrible and over priced. We finally found a great place! Everything we tried was delicious and tasted fresh. This Will definitely be our go to for Chinese food from now on. read more

Definitely one of the better Chinese restaurants in the Northwest suburbs! I actually prefer the Elgin location over the Schaumburg location as the food I've gotten thus far from the Elgin location has been fresher. I like that my vegetables still have a bite to them whether I pick up the food myself or have the food delivered. Elgin location has yet to disappoint. Both locations give you a large amount of food, so you definitely get your $$'s worth. read more

Everything was delicious! Will be ordering from here from now on. Super tender chicken, and vegetables cooked to perfection!

Really good Chinese Food that isn't greasy and gross , and you don't feel bad after!!! It's better than Silver Lake.

It was our first time eating at Fortune house and my parents just moved to Hoffman estates and have yet to find a good Chinese place. So we wanted to try Fortune house to see if it was good, and to have a regular Chinese place to eat. We were delighted. Not only was the price excellent, the chicken tasted so fresh, white meat and cooked to order. The bean curd soup I got was enough for two and I was so pleased that it didn't have garlic or onion in it. It was perfect. The dumplings were good too. Very happy to have a new place to eat when visiting . read more

I've ordered from here a few times now for delivery and they rock from the time you call and order until the time your food is delivered. The people who work there are super nice, the food is always fresh, perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked and it gets delivered piping hot. The prices are good for the amount of food you're getting and the quality is great! read more

I really enjoy their food, its always fresh, and not under seasoned nor over seasoned. Vegetables are never mushy, the rice is always perfectly done, the meat is very tender and not dry. The staff ( even the delivery drivers) are all really kind and professional. Always a solid win win every time I order from the1350 E Chicago St Location in Elgin. Thanks crew! read more

Placed and ordered through their app, the pick up time was delayed over a half hours subpar service

We are so glad Fortune House opened this Elgin location so close to us!! The food is consistently excellent (which has been our biggest issue with other places nearby) and the staff is always friendly!! Try the chow fun beef, so good!! But I recently tried the shrimp and lobster sauce, way too many mushrooms (who puts mushrooms in shrimp in lobster sauce anyway?) and a clear sauce, very odd, I can't Recommend it... but everything else we've tried had been very good! read more

My order came right on time! As always, the quality of the food was outstanding and the service was awesome! Thanks for taking care of your customers with your "touch less" delivery! read more

Waste of money. Ordered lemon chicken and beef egg foo yung lunch. Lemon chicken was very bland. Chicken tasted oldish, rubbery, and was not tender. It came with huge amount of rice, breaded chicken breast, a few shreds of lettuce, sliced up lemon, and a very bland sauce. Not worth the money and half ended up in garbage. The beef egg foo yung was the worst I've ever had. Beef was just large chunks of tough fatty meat. Yuk. Most went in the garbage. The fried rice was very basic. Flavored rice and a couple of bean sprouts. That's it. No vegetables or meat, all of that is an extra charge. Worst chinese food we've ever had. Wasn't even edible. Will never go back. On a good note, the service was fast and the employee at counter was very nice and friendly. read more

We have lived in Elgin for almost 4 years and just now tried Fortune House... We have been missing out! Nothing compares in the Elgin area. I ordered the Sesame Chicken Combination Plate that came with fried rice, an egg roll, and a soda. My husband ordered the Kung Pow Beef Combination Plate. We also shared the Crab Rangoon. Also amazing! The portions are HUGE! By using their online website for their Schaumburg location I knew they had coupons available, and we got a pork fried rice for free with our order. Delivery on Saturday night was almost exactly 60 minutes, which is what we were told. read more

This is probably my favorite local Chinese restaurant. I've had their orange chicken and their cashew chicken, both of which are delicious. I love their crab Rangoons and their sweet and sour chicken too. Affordable and always fresh. It's a great mid week dinner. read more

We had fortune house last night about a hour after eating I got very sick vomiting my husband called to let them know and all that they said is they can give us another chicken dish are they crazy after getting violently ill they want us to eat more for your health I would not eat here I am actually getting a hold of the bbb on them we got not even a apology pathetic I won't even give it one star eat there at your own risk! read more

Update: this used to be our go to for delicious Chinese food delivery... over the past several months we have given more chances than I'd like to admit and it has been awful every time. My husbands orders of Szechuan Beef have ranged from inedibly salty to downright sweet. Seriously, after 2 bites (me and him) it went into the trash. My general tso chicken has been flavorless or ridiculously sweet, like syrupy. Really sad that our go to had become a total no go. Wish they would return to the previous cook/ management/ recipes because their current plan will result in them closing really soon. What happened?! read more

Can't believe my favorite Chinese restaurant opened another location right next to my aunt's house! The price and taste of the food is on par with original location. My favorite dishes are orange chicken and shrimp fried rice. Definitely coming back for more! read more

Loveeeee this place. Best Chinese food place around us. The quantity you get is huge and the prices are great.

I was VERY disappointed in the food. The portions were good, but the food was dry and unflavored. I have ordered teriyaki beef from every restaurant and this was the worse. While the beef itself was a good amount, it was so dry and flavorless. It was VERY NOT TERIYAKI...JUST NO FLAVOR AT ALL.. I had the egg rolls and they were again, flavorless. My grandson who is a huge egg roll and teriyaki beef and chicken person also did not find any flavor to these. While the flavor was there for the crabmeat rangoon, it was allllll cream cheese and no crabmeat flavor. AND there was so little filling to the giant deep fried pastry it was stuck in. Make them smaller so the filling is a part of the experience. Because this was so close to home we decided to try it. It was our first and definitely last experience. Too expensive to not have good food. read more

I am not a fan of the Fortune House location in Schaumburg, but I thought maybe a new location would taste better. I'm glad I tried, because everything was really delicious! I had the best Mongolian Beef I think I've ever had, and the boyfriend's fried rice was pretty good too. My crab rangoon had plenty of filling, spring rolls were nice and crispy. I chose to pick it up rather than have it delivered, and it was all hot and fresh. read more

I tried a seafood combo of scallops and shrimp and vegetables. The combo had a small amount of scallops and shrimp in it and the sauce it was in was not good. I spent $20 on this food and I must say it was not worth it. read more

I ordered for the first time over the website. This is my new favorite Chinese place the food was so delicious so much more than I was expecting! read more

I don't go anywhere else for lunch take out! I'm so glad they deliver. I've never been able to finish all my food! The Portions are generous and the food is always great! Egg foo young is my favorite. They have the best gravy read more

Terrible sesame shrimp.....a heavily breaded undeveined overcooked mess. Not spicy in the slightest ( as was advertised). Not worth $12 by any means read more

This is my new go to Chinese food place! Lunch specials are $6.75 and you get a huge portion of food . All the specials come with an egg roll and a pop! Also, I was able to get 3 meals out of this, had plenty of leftovers! read more

Great food! Recommend the crab Rangoon, hot n sour soup, kung pao shrimp and Mongolian beef. Everything was amazing.

Great restaurant! Portions are large and good price. The order only took 20 min for a Sunday night it was great. I would recommend read more

Fortune House - Portions are large, good food and great price. - Chinese Near Me - Elgin, Illinois

This restaurant has really affordable price with delicious food. They deliver so fast and friendly. I strongly recommend this restaurant to our neighborhood. read more

Fast friendly service and great tasting food. We got the Orange Chicken and Pork fried rice with egg rolls on the side. All we're excellent. We will definitely be back. read more

I just ordered my food and the delivery guy delivered my food across the street from me. Gave my food to the neighbor and did not ask to sign anything. I called them and the Manager did not want to refund my money and said "why are you mad at me, it was your fault for putting in the wrong address" but I over heard the lady in the background say that my account was the correct address. Neighbors had a free meal on me but I am disputing this charge. I order from here on a weekly basis spending over $50.00 everytime. They have lost my business for good. This is bad business on their part. read more

I'm really glad I found this place. I just moved to Elgin and there's not too much Chinese places, in Puerto Rico there is one or two Chinese restaurant in every corner. We ordered the beef with broccoli, fried rice with shrimp and it was delicious. We loved it and will be ordering again soon. read more

OK so I really must say they make really good food. I ordered a Large Fried rice w/ shrimp and large fried rice w/ chicken, which by the way were really good. And I also got a large meat with vegetables and it wasn't expensive at all and I got white rice free and I was able to feed my whole family with that so I really would recommend. read more

We ordered through grub hub last night. We ordered Chicken and Broccoli & an order of chicken fried rice. The chicken & broccoli was good, but for the same price at other places it includes an egg roll. The chicken fried rice was good except for the chicken. It was dry and not good at all. We definitely won't be ordering that again. read more

I ordered hot and spicy beef and singapore noodles. The beef was not spicy instead it was smothered in sugar. It was really strange. The beef tasted over cooked along with the sliced green bell peppers. The noodles were over cooked as well. I saw eight cooks through the window like they were trying to immitate yu's mandarine too bad they can't make a couple of dinner plates for pick up. The shrimp in the singapore noodles was the only thing that was cooked nicely. I changed it from 2 stars to 3 stars because after I wrote whats above I called them and they told me to return the food for a full refund. The guy at the counter says to me that the hot and spicy beef is normally sweet. lol so why isn't it called sweet and not spicy beef? Or just sweet chewy beef. Had to drive 17 min. to return the food. I have never returned food for a refund until today from a restaurant. For the people who rate 5 stars because of big portions please stop using yelp. Quality not quantity. I don't care that they gave me my money back. My stomach feels bloated for what little bit we ate. I feel so sick. Go to fortune at your own risk! read more

This was our first time ordering, and we did from the Elgin location. Soo good. We will definitely use them from now on.
