Fortune Village Chinese Restaurant

Woeful - serves meat dishes when one ordered vegetarian, service is slow, inattentive. Much better out there

BEST CHINESE FOOD IN SYDNEY!!!

Hi Unfortunately didn't have a good experience with dining at Fortune Village last night. I have been to Fortune Village before and no issues but this was approximately 4 years ago when I last attended. Maybe was an "off" night for the chef but didn't feel we got value for money with the food that was ordered. There was 7 people and we ordered 1 entree and 6 dishes with steam rice and fried rice. The food quality wasn't to expectations with the dishes not to standard we expected before. The salt and pepper squid had lots of batter and we thought it was salt and pepper squid and prawns but only squid was in the dish and basically said batter dish not.much seasoning. But the disappointment was the portion sizes of a the dishes and really didn't cater for the amount of people we had let alone the prices of the dishes thinking the quality would be there.The other dishes we ordered was pork chops , Szechuan Beef ,prawns and snow peas ( ordered with xo sauce but there was no xo sauce for the night - one would have thought you make it on the spot and from scratch ) Lemon chicken and Mongolian Lamb I am sorry I am trying to be constructive with my comments but felt let down especially being my birthday and chose this restaurant so felt embarrassed for my guests. We all walked out not feeling satisfied. I went by the comments on the reviews and everyone gave a glowing reference so as I say it have been a one off night. Anyway these are my constructive comments and hope that next time it maybe a better experience. Thanks

Amazing greedy chicken, delicious salt and pepper prawns. Try the lamb pancakes!!! Very friendly service. Will return!

BEST CHINESE EVER. Absolutely incredible food—thoughtful presentation, attention to detail, flavors, and lovely staff. Hot and sour soup was actually hot and sour. Vegetable spring rolls were filled with delicious mushrooms. The soup dumplings were on point. The honey chicken, while perhaps not the most sophisticated dish, was the star of the show, perfectly fried—light and crunchy—-and made with very high quality chicken. (I’d eat three plates a day if I could.) We had no rubbery bits at all. None. The mixed vegetables and tofu was delicate and lovely. The vegetables were lovingly presented, the tofu fried by angels in heaven. My children were a little wild while we were there and there were no other children except for one in the lower room, but the staff was very sweet and understanding about small children in a sit-down dining experience. They didn’t seem fazed or annoyed in the least and were patient and kind.

Best service an food got free entrees Wow😍Simon helpful in selecting a meal too😁

Disappointing experience. Yes, the food was good but the service was very poor. We'd booked a large group and were told we could have a table for that - ended up around 2 smaller round tables butted together in the entry way near the door. Not appropriate and bad form. Then it took 15 minutes for someone to take a drink order - waiter was rushed and some of the food arrived cold. Its probably an OK choice for smaller groups and when not so busy but won't be hurrying back regardless.

The waitress who speaks Chinese is very friendly and helpful. She asked for my preference and offered suggestions accordingly - they have westernized Chinese dishes (which is typical here in Sydney) and those that are more “Chinese” Chinese food. I ordered one chicken main dish, which is tasty as I liked the vinegar and chilli, and one house specialty fried rice. Both came in decent portion enough for 2-3 people. Would probably be even better if they have small portions so one person can try more varieties. Overall I am happy with the experience and will return.

Good food good service right in the heart of Sydney CBD.

Lovely fresh food and fast service! Loved the Tamarind Chicken dish! Very friendly staff most welcoming and genuine.
