    Hot and sour soup
    Aileen M.

    We've dined at Fortune Palace a handful of times for lunch. The restaurant is spacious and has beautiful red booths which lends an upscale appearance. The waitstaff is friendly and check up on us regularly. The lunch menu has plenty to choose from. Dishes are very reasonably priced and have generous portions. I love that a small bowl of soup (the hot and sour soup is delicious) and an egg roll (veggie) comes with each lunch combo. On our most recent visit, we tried the eggplant with Szechuan sauce lunch combo and General chicken lunch combo. The eggplant dish was flavorful and wasn't oily. The General chicken had a great balance of sweetness and tanginess and still possessed that crispy crunch (as the chicken is deep-fried). And, the steamed rice was cooked nicely (not soggy or stuck together).

    With the wind and allergy season raging outside, we sneaked out to have soup at the Palace. Our server, Maddie, was a jewel! Their Hot and Sour Soup is a remedy for a stuffy head. It is so richly flavored with fresh ingredients and lots of chicken. My wife opted for the Sizzling Rice Soup... so full of scallops, shrimp and veggies. A few potstickers were the perfect accompaniment to our soups! This place is always so quiet, comfortable and always kept spotless too!

    Mongolian Beef.

    It was my first time there. The lady server was very friendly. She even gave me extra rice for it being my first time eating there. I ordered the Mongolian Beef. The food was delicious. The ambience there is very nice as well. I definitely recommend this place. Enjoy!

    The staff were kind and efficient. We had a group of 6 and were able to do the family style dining. It was my first time there. The crispy beef was my favorite. The lemon chicken was also tasty. Just chicken breast in a thick lemon sauce. Mongolian beef spice level was non existent. The Szechuan chicken was plain as well. The hot and sour and sour soup was delicious.

    Shocked I haven't reviewed before! I adore their crab cheese wontons and hot and sour soup! Tonight I tried the Devine Pama Martini, except for driving I'd have had another! Typical Chinese restaurant decor and super friendly staff in a strip mall setting.

    Now that's a beautiful bar!

    Fortune Palace is my favorite Chinese Food in Sparks. I am ordering a to go order for dinner. Egg Flower Soup, Special Chowmein, Egg fried rice and beef with broccoli. Thank you to Tan for always being so wonderful when I come in and order. If you come in and sit down, you will enjoy the beautiful piano music playing in the background and the authentic Chinese decor. A hidden gem in Sparks. Julie A

    Sweet and sour chicken
    Suzanne M.

    We don't go here often but should. The interior is very nice, inviting and always busy. Our order this time was for pick up. The quality of food is much better than some other Chinese restaurants down the road. Let me say as a family of five with a growing teen son, we ordered a normal amount. I almost fell off my chair when the total was read to me. I believe we spent about over $50 more than our regular place. That really disappointed me. Especially for Chinese. But the food was much better. So kudos. Rice didn't automatically come with a dinner. I didn't realize this until we opened the bags at home. The sweet and sour chicken was made with fluffy tender white chicken and wasn't soggy or over fried. The egg flower soup had lots of fresh flavor although the consistency was a bit gelatinous and thick and I would have preferred a thinner broth. The honey shrimp were big and fresh. No skimping there. The surprise of the night was the crispy beef. Great crispy flavor. My husband who doesn't typically order beef raved about it. Although I felt Fortune Palace was a fortune, it was worth it. I would feel better about the price by eating in the restaurant. It was way too much to spend for take out and no complimentary rice.

    Really nice dining room. Dimly lit for date night or just for looking your best. The service was friendly and quick. The food was delicious and there were plenty of veggie options to choose from, vegan and vegetarian friendly. The portions are generous and the ingredients were fresh. I'll definitely come back.

    This was my first time to Legends Bay Oyster & Sushi bar. We had some guests from the Bay Area and…read morethey wanted sushi. Since Legends was offering an all you can eat option and a buy two sushi rolls for $12.99, we decided to give Legends a try. Everyone had a couple of sushi rolls and I decided to sample different nigiri sushi so I can gauge the freshness and quality. Salmon, if not fresh (or as fresh as can be in Reno) can be oily and fishy. This wasn't it. It can tell it was previously frozen due to the texture. As fresh texture has more resistance when biting down vs previously frozen tends to be softer, less bounce when biting. But it was good or even better than some other local sushi offerings. Tako or boiled octopus, is almost never fresh caught / cooked at any restaurant other than Japan. Even in the Bay Area, Tako is usually bought cooked but not frozen. This is where it can affect the quality. If frozen, it can make the tako kind of stringy and mushy. When it's not frozen the tako is firm and slightly chewy. I can tell this tako travelled a little but it wasn't frozen. Unagi or grilled eel, is almost always purchased cooked by most restaurants other than what I've had in Japan. Similar to tako, it is usually shipped refrigerated but not frozen. All restaurants will serve unagi over rice with a drizzle of unagi sauce. The flesh should be tender and any bones will be super thin and not a problem to eat. There weren't any bones which is a plus. This unagi didn't appear to be previously frozen. We also has the edamame, which is tossed in garlic and salt with some oil. Very tasty on a simple dish. If cigarette smoke bothers you, there wasn't any in the restaurant but apparent everywhere in the casino, so plan ahead. The tables were about 30% capacity and even with that, the order to service gap was fairly long. Our server was pleasant and willing to explain how the player's card program worked. Would I come back for sushi here? Sure, but I better be hungry to get full value from the all you can eat.

    I can't believe I haven't updated my review…read more Brought a friend here for dinner. There were three of us. My friend and I had the 6-oz Filet Mignon USDA. I got mine with caramelized onions, baked potato, and fresh veggies. We both got it medium rare. She got hers topped with Point Reyes Blue Cheese crumbles. Her daughter got Filet of Petrale Sole Meuniere. First came a basket of bread. But, two of us are gluten-free. The Waiter made a point to check with the kitchen on all our meals. The steak came out smelling like garlic. It looked so much better than the picture I posted. It was so tender it cut with a butter knife. The color of the steak inside was perfect medium rare. The flavor on the taste buds is what dreams are made of. Some meals we remember for a lifetime. Because every bite is just that scrumptious. I can still almost taste it by just thinking about it. For dessert, we got the classic Bananas Foster, which is made tableside. It is dinner and a show. Bananas Foster is such a decadent treat. The show begins with the melting of the butter, and the aroma will still your breath away. Then add in the brown and white sugars. Several alcohols are used. I believe they use Banana liquor as well as rum. Then a fire is lit in the pan. It sparks when the cinnamon is added. Then the bananas are cooked ever so lightly. Sometimes, too much liqueur is added, and the flavor is off. However, on this night, it was spot on. The sugars and liqueur create a caramel sauce for the bananas, and vanilla ice cream is added. The ice cream that was used tasted like a French Vanilla ice cream with little flecks of vanilla. Each bite was a walk on a cloud. My friends had never had Bananas Foster before. I think they will be back if only for the Bananas Foster. The bananas and caramel with a kiss a vanilla ice cream just send your taste buds to heaven. Each bite will have you desiring more, even if you are beyond full. Each bite is so divine. It tastes so decadent that your mind will be blown that it is bananas and vanilla ice cream. I can't remember the name of our waiter. He was such a delight and made sure we had a great time. This was a meal I will remember for a long time. Thank you to the staff at Duke's Steakhouse.

We went back at 4:40pm as instructed and still plenty of room in the bar, but yet they still would not see us. It wasn't until I asked if we could just sit down and we would wait for the service even if they were behind at that point, they allowed us to sit at the bar and we were waited on right away with no issue. Adrian knows us and we are very good customers there. I think some things changed in management, Kevin the waiter who has been there since it opened is no longer there and you could feel a different vibe going on in the restaurant. The happy hour menu has changed and my husband's favorite Chardonnay is no longer included, but Adrian bought him a lovely Cabernet Sauvignon Blanc which was very tasty for $8. Adrian is a wonderful bartender and we enjoy his service! Sad to hear Jenna moved on too! Why is it all the good people leave, but then you have Quincy at the chandelier bar yelling at customers, not serving customers, telling you he won't serve her until it's convenient for him. Thank goodness Larry was working at the sports bar after happy hour! He is a great guy and works so hard for the casino and his customers!

After learning they only offer the brunch buffet 3 times…read morea year (Easter, Mothers Day, & Fathers Day) we decided to try the buffet as it would be the last one since until Easter 2027. The staff and restaurant were lovely as always, and you really can't beat the views from dining on the outdoor patio overlooking the Marina. If you have general hesitations when it comes to buffet food, you can put them at ease when at the Water Bar, as even the typical 'filler food' like salad and mashed potatoes were out-of-this-world good. I'm not kidding when I say their buffet-style Caesar Salad was better than any made-to-order Caesar I've had. Same goes for their garlicy mashed potatoes, they were heavenly! The poached prawns were prepared perfectly, and the snow crab legs and claws were delicious and easy to eat (if you're used to shelling your own crab). The soy-glazed salmon with wild rice was surprisingly flavorful and melted in my mouth. Even the mac & cheese was rich and creamy- I can't think of a single item I tried that was sub-par. I ended the meal with a slice of carrot cake that I kept thinking about long after I left. It was moist and well-spiced with a very decadent frosting, the perfect end to a delicious brunch. I will say, we weren't aware the cost per person for the buffet was $80 (it wasn't displayed on the buffet menu, our server didn't share this when telling us about the buffet, and we didn't ask). We have no regrets on opting for the brunch buffet, as again all the food was truly incredible. However, an $80 price tag will likely keep us from opting for the brunch buffet again in the future.

    So figured I needed an update from my review three years ago…read more My best lunch buddy and I picked this spot for our monthly ladies' lunch. We decided to sit on the patio inspite of it being a very hot day. They have made some well needed update to the "outdoor" seating since the last time I was here. It is now enclosed wth glass and huge umbrellas to provide shade. It was definitely warm, but the view of the Marina is always worth it. We were seated right away and were given menus to peruse while they brought our drinks - no "Wet Woody" so iced tea and an Arnold Palmer fit the bill. The glasses are bottomless - a definite plus. We shared an order of deep-fried Zucchini with dipping sauce. Most excellent. My friended ordered the Dungeness Crab Cakes and I got the Teriyaki Salmon Salad. Both were good. My salad was huge! I had enough left over to take for lunch. Our service was good, a little slow in getting the Arnold Palmer, but otherwise all went well. Chris and Tomas were our servers. Yes, it is worth a return visit.
