I love Thai food and was hesitant to try a new place. I left with my friends thoroughly impressed. We will be back for sure. Service was on spot; super cool manager, too :D

Diner Review №2

A classic Thai restaurant with some Chinese food options.

Food was awful. I got soup, pad see ew and fried rice. Everything was SUPER oily. It made my stomach hurt so bad. I bought a few things to tide me over for a couple days and threw most of it out.

Don’t come to this restaurant, service is horrible. We ordered online and the hours said they were open we get there and found out the restaurant was closed for several days with a note on the door. We got charged for our food and when we went back the day the restaurant was back open they refused to give us our food or a refund. They told us we needed to call the place we ordered from and ask for a refund instead of giving us our food that we got charged for. We ordered from their website which made no sense. We will never be going back to this place, they are very rude to their customers.

Diner Review №8

The food is amazing, old school Cantonese style Chinese food. Food is well made, well packaged and the service is very friendly. Beef chow fun, dumplings, green vegetables. All delicious. The only downside and maybe this is an LA thing, but no rice was included with the main dishes. Perhaps it's included with lunch special. I could see this place popping on Christmas.

Diner Review №35

The food was excellent. Admittedly, we didn't try too many things but the stuff we had was outstanding. One word of caution... We love spice and are highly tolerant, but even 8/10 was too much. Probably going to go for 6 next time and likely still get a kick! It's a family run business with wonderful service and really pleasant ambiance. Strongly recommend it.

Diner Review №36

We being coming to this restaurant for many years and every time the food is on point, absolutely delicious.

Decent little spot. Food is a decent price. Enjoyed the quick service and the owner is on site and on top of everything. First time eating and ordering Togo order of Mongolian beef w/a side of rice, and wantons w/ plumb sauce.

Diner Review №46

Eat here to get a good future :-). Yes this place is also worth to try. Good food and not that pricey. Place is not that fancy though, but I am always into the food than the place itself. So I am okay with it. Parking is a bit an issue here. If you want to take out maybe it's better.

Diner Review №47

Horrible service and food

Diner Review №60

Very delicious Thai food. Service is good. Great for small party. Highly recommend.

Diner Review №61

The earliest I can remember going here was in 1999 and there is a documented photo to help remind me 😊. Point is that 23 years later we still eat here together as a family and separately. Life may get crazy but when feeling like some nostalgia, and banging Thai food, Fortune House is where we go. There are specific dishes that are my favorite but overall the food is consistently delicious. Favorite combination is when I eat here with my cousin, we order (1) Rad Na with Chinese broccoli. Before you bite in, add vinegar and dry chili to taste - enhances the dish in my mind. (2) pad ka prao - chili and basil with ground chicken and rice in the side (3) fried wontons to start. This is your reminder to SHARE (aka family style) so you get to taste everything! Best part? You’ll be supporting a family owned small business.

Pictured is Pad Thai and Pad Kapraw (clearly didn’t go with my cousin) 😂 don’t tell her, she’ll get jealous.

Diner Review №63

I eat at this place probably once a week. Great food and service. The Thai dishes and Chinese dishes are both great. I love the pad see ew, pad Thai, Tom yum soup, kung pao chicken, panang curry, and everything else! They also have beer to wash it down.

Diner Review №64

The Fortune House Restaurant has been in the valley since the 80s and it is a great restaurant they have fantastic Thai food. Its really hard to recommend a dish from the Fortune House Restaurant, because of the deliciousness. I recommend just trying something at random or if you have a favorite Thai dish go with that. You will not be disappointed.

I haven't been to this restaurant in a few years and I forgot how delicious the food is. No matter what dish I get I'm always satisfied, never tastes stale or anything everything tastes fresh and full of flavor. Great place to get some take out or dine-in. The servers are very friendly

Diner Review №76

Got big war wanton soup and duck over rice.
All good.
A little over $20.

Diner Review №77

Diner Review №78

Simple flavors which is good, but no clear food description on there menu. Worst thing is the horrid service, and very rude servers. Tried this place a few times to give them a fair chance.

Diner Review №79

When you come they ignore you for a while. 😒

Diner Review №80

Food was ok, service was not. Waited over 30mins when the food was in the counter the whole time. Need more servers it seems. 1st time there I am not impressed.

Diner Review №87

Used to be Best Thai food in the valley,and NO MASKS USED AND NO GLOVES ,SO now 2 things are NOT good here, THE FOOD and health and safety measures .Picked up an order this Eve, walked in only to watch the older lady in the kitchen cooking,handling the containers and coming in and out to the register handling CC's and receipts,ALL WITHOUT A MASK OR GLOVES,she had it hanging on her ear off to the side,I finally asked her to put it on and KEEP IT ON , that was after I took some pics of her in the kitchen that i will post.Also having nothing to due with health safety,But,my wife,kid and I noticed all 4 orders we normally get were very tasteless,dry and the flavor that they once had is completely gone,Tasted like fast food would if Thai could be,I dont know if the place got bought or changed cooks,but its no were near as good as it used to be.Either way, DON'T TRUST there health safety until this is all over and they have changed there attitude toward COVID care !!! i wish you cared about your customers a little more .These are important things these days

Tried to place an order on door dash and needed a specific spice level on the curry. Called and the lady I spoke to was so nice and made notes to make it just the way we like it. Never tried this place before although we shop nearby. So glad we did. Food is delicious! Some of the best Thai curry I've had! We will definitely be going back!

Diner Review №112

Ambience wasn't great, fluorescent overhead lights, lots of families. But, the food was wonderful. Yellow curry was delicious and the drunken noodles were full flavor, slightly sweet, spicy, basil, yummy!

Diner Review №113

Such a sweet and quaint place, with a well-stocked menu. The wait staff were professional and timely. They were friendly, with smiles and greetings. We were a group of 5 and took up a table that seated 8, and they were patient and kind that we were there so long. It was a great place to eat and enjoy company.

Diner Review №159

Very good food. Excellent service. Owners are very personable and treat you like your family.

Diner Review №160

Service was great, food came out fast and hot. Pineapple fried rice has little to no flavor, unfortunately. Maybe their other dishes taste better, but my rice was bland. Hopefully they will fix this is the future.

Diner Review №161

Faantastico lugar para saborear una deliciosa Comida

Diner Review №162

Diner Review №163

Been a customer of theirs for years and every time it's a good eating experience. Big portion, tasty and fresh. Always running specials. They don't gouge you on the beer prices (cool concept. Wish other places would figure that out) and the enthusiasm the floor manager has for his business is refreshing. So, good food, lots of it, and cheap beer. The Trifecta.

Diner Review №164

Decent Thai food, but a little pricey for what we got. Placed order online thru Yelp. Went to pick up after 30 min and they hadn't even downloaded it or started. Waited another 15 min for them to rush it through.

Diner Review №165

Diner Review №166

Food was excellent. Love the new location. Easy access.

Diner Review №167

Great food-served fast, cold beer- served faster. Friendly staff that will spend time to tell you all the "not on menu" dishes they offer. Great place and won't break your wallet.

Diner Review №178

So I've been eating at Fortune House since 2004 (Saticoy and Balboa location)...a student of mine referred me to his family's restaurant. Yes, I followed them to their shopping center location, which is just as crowded as the old location. My orders always include the Chinese Broccoli w/ garlic sauce. Glad they are available for delivery as well.

Diner Review №179

One of my favorite places to eat, everybody treats you like family. The food is fresh and delicious

I've enjoyed Fortune House for years, would go out of my way or plan my route so I could eat here. These days though, I live within walking distance. It's awesome. I'm no expert, but I like Thai food, and have eaten at many different restaurants and Fortune House is still my favorite. Nice people, good service, great food. You should try it. Even if its not your new favorite, you'll still like it.

Diner Review №194

Been coming here several years and the quality and taste of food always ceases to amaze me. Very clean restaurant and friendly staff. Also recommend the Won Ton soup, wouldn’t get it anywhere else.

Diner Review №198

Diner Review №199

Good food and chill atmosphere, they don't get a 5 cause you get the impression they want you out asap when they get a little busy..
(If it's not too busy or you're picking up- I def recommend it👍)
