Fortune Takeaway - Stroud

After moving to the area recently, my spouse and I decided to indulge in a Chinese takeout. We received a menu from a nearby takeout restaurant in our mailbox, and instead of checking reviews, we opted to try FORTUNE. Unfortunately, it was a mistake. The main disappointments were the greasy prawn toast, cold and bland chicken fried rice, and the crispy shredded chili beef that was neither crispy nor flavorful. The lesson learned is to always read reviews or ask for recommendations from neighbors. We will not be ordering from here again.

Basic take away -Chinese. Food was good. Nothing special but ideal for a night when you do not want to cook. House special curry and ribs were good. Just take note to check your order before you leave as I did not get my Singapore chow mien.... ended up with plain noodles and chop suey in the same pot half/half of some sorts? ... bit bland for me as I was look forward to my spicy noodles but unfortunately didn’t realise until I got home. Would have meant the rest got cold! Will be checking in future!

If i told you that the best part of the meal was the prawn crackers that should tell you everything you need to know. Ordered the most basic dishes..prawn crackers, chicken chow mein, chicken fried rice and sweet and sour chicken balls. I kid you not but none of the food was seasoned! The rice was plain boiled rice with egg and chicken. The chow mien was plain noodles on one side with overcooked beansprouts and onions on the other which was drowning in a gloopy clear liquid. The chicken balls were overcooked but edible. We had to add our own soy sauce!

Ordered the food at 2100 and picked it up at 2120. Exactly what is says on the tin and the haddock was freshly cooked.

Excellent food, ordered by phone and ready for collection in 15 mins. Delivery available with small charge, food hot and well presented. Recommend anything with black bean sauce, a favourite.
