House Of Fortune

I use to come here for the past 20years but since they changed management over the years it has gone down hill! It makes me sad because I had great memories. The owner treated me horribly. I had placed order online it says if I order 35 or more I get free fried rice but because I couldn’t find e-​noodle had to call I asked him about free fried rice and he started yelling that online is not right and can’t honor that. It was so bad! But I’m not at a loss he is… mind you my order was 140.00 just lost a long time customer over fried rice! Oh and this is not the first time he has been rude … He has been for long time but finally got the nerve to try new restaurant! Ps I would have given a no star if I could !!

I don’t know how the food is because they never delivered. We placed an order and were told the delivery would be over an hour. After waiting more than an hour they called to say that they had made an error and our order hadn’t even begun and it would be more than 40 minutes more for the food. We had to cancel. They didn’t care that they had ruined our meal and left us without food. They made no effort to improve the situation after they admitted to making the error.

Thanks so much!!! really great attention, food and place… in Chinatown this is only place where we go to eat…

I ordered sweet and sour pork from hotel via grubhub and it arrived very quickly. However the pork was so overcooked, dark, and unrecognizable that I could not eat it. I could not even get a fork in it. Very sad. I ordered a hot and sour soup as well and when I opened the lid there wad a pungent smell. I could not eat that either. Im glad i ordered 8 fortune cookies as that became my dinner.

Good Tasty Food. Rarely gets the orders correct on take out orders.
Ok, ok I am one of those who ask for modifications to my order, for example Mongolian Beef NOT SPICY, however 8 out of 10 times, they make it spicy. Not sure what «NOT SPICY» means to their cook.
I will no longer place carry out orders because of the frustrations of the kitchen rarely getting my order correct.

It’s so awesome place! I ordered a peking duck yesterday cause I read a lot of different reviews, wanted to taste it too. The duck was unbelievable delicious and cooked so fast! It was my very good experience in Chicago, I enjoyed it.

Great Chinese restaurant. We didn’t try to many from the menu, but Peking duck was absolutely perfect. It was our best experience. Thank you for your service!

Have visited House Of Fortune many times. The food along with the service is great. Wonderful place to go to when in Chinatown or after a White Sox game.

We placed an order with the expected delivery of 45 minutes; however, we did not receive our food 2 hours later. Unbelievable because I only live within a mile of the restaurant. I called the restaurant to inform them of the poor delivery time and was told that ‘everyone ordered at one time’. Really?! Though the food may be good at the restaurant, when we received our food, the presentation and taste quality was subpar at best. My recommendation is to either improve your delivery service or don’t offer delivery!

This is the only place my family goes to in Chinatown. The food is exceptional. The owner is always there with a friendly greeting. Rock salt shrimp without the shell is outatanding. We usually order two! Also the governors chicken is outstanding. Definitely best Chinese food I’ve had

Blend food. Never had Peking Duck so uh… forgot their spices i reckon.
Attentive service. Nice enough people. Kind of them to roll the duck. Else I would have given it one star.
Certainly not worth a repeat.

Came in on a random cold day to eat with my family and I had to say the place was quite empty so we were reserved about our decision. The food came out and we ate like hungry fiends. Food was alright, though a bit greasy in our opinion. The staff was attentive and tried to offer some signature dishes, but we still got our way since we knew what we wanted.

Love HOF! I’ve been dining there for years now. The staff is attentive, the prices are reasonable and the food is great. Fan favorites: beef with Beijing sauce and the Mongolian combo. PS, the drinks are cheap, too.

My friend and I decided to check this place out during the Chinatown summer fest earlier this summer. Because it was both of our first times in the neighborhood, we pretty much blindly chose a place without any real expectations. Thankfully, house of fortune ended up being great!
We ordered crab Rangoon to start, an excellent choice. Very full of crab and cream cheese, which I always enjoy! For the main dishes, we went with a Szechwan chicken and a shrimp lo mein. While the noodles were not the same as lo mein dishes I’ve tried in the past, we were pleasantly surprised by how much we liked them!
The service wasn’t the best, but I’d attribute that to the fact that they were likely 5x busier than an average day due to the festival. I always love me some goooood Chinese food :)

My food took an hour and a half to get to my place. Then sesame chicken was bland and soggy, but that my have been because it was sitting in the back seat of a car for so long. I live in the south loop on the 11^th floor, I can see chinatown if I lean out my window. The driver must have either walked it over or intentionally drove right past my house to deliver to everyone else first.
I also got the ribs appetizer and it was literally a mixed bag, they were all different sizes, they could have come from a whole family of pigs. There’s this place in Naperville called House of Emperor. They do a ribs appetizer that looks on the surface like a carry out container filled ¾ with this delicious spicy boiling hot barbecue sauce. Half a dozen of the tenderest ribs you’ll ever eat are floating in it and as you lift one out of the container the meat literally disintegrates off the bone, splashing into that red sea. Cut to 5 minutes later when you’re trying to fish the last delicious morsels that have sunk to the bottom with a pair of chopsticks like a crack addict. I only bring this up because that’s the whole reason I order ribs from Chinese restaurants, House of Fortune is no House of Emperor.
The most important thing is that this is the first Chinese delivery I’ve gotten all year that actually gives you fortune cookies. Lao Tze Chuan will make you better food faster, but they won’t give you a fortune cookie.

It was my first time in Chicago and instead of trying a deep dish pizza we opted for some Asian food and it was a good decision.
My friend and I split an order of the Peking duck and I am still thinking about how delicious it was, even 4 days later!
The service was awesome, they were all very friendly and helpful. We got complimentary soup at the beginning and also a small bowl of dessert at the end of the meal. Both were super good.
Would definitely come back if I ever visit Chicago again!

Best Lo me in noodles I’ve ever tried. Everything was delicious. They were very nice with the kids and gave them easy-​to-​use chopsticks

First time there… we go there before the rush so YAY us :)
Old school décor. doesn’t look like much has changed in ages. table clothes, but casual.
Pleasant host and server that were eager to get water tea and whatever else we ordered.
Started with eggrolls. basic and good, but nothing special
Sweet N Sour chicken was a tad too sweet for my taste, but crunchy and full of fresh bell peppers so YAY
Mongolian beef was average. sauce needed a little extra punch, but I added that myself. Meat was tasty and lots of onions.
I saw someone eating soup and that looked awesome. so I may be back for that
They also offer no MSG on request and that is always a good thing

Delicious!
Generous lunch portions, served until 3pm, for $ 5.50
#win :)

Went back a second time and it was better. Still ok, not great!
Sizzling Soup — This was good. Tons of veggies, shrimp, chicken and other stuff. I felt like there was barely any «soup» in this with all the stuff.
Fried Won Tons with Meat — This was ok, but I would probably not order it again.
Shredded Chicken — This was a bit salty and definitely nothing like the one Hong Min makes (no one makes it better than them.)
Service was still good and attentive.
