Fortune Chinese Food Take-Out is a down-to-earth Chinese takeout spot tucked in Sacramento’s 12th Avenue stretch, serving up hearty, Americanized Chinese dishes in generous portions. The vibe here is straightforward and no-frills, focused on fast, reliable service rather than dine-in ambiance—a practical choice for those craving familiar Chinese comfort food without the wait or fuss.

The restaurant’s customers seem to value both the quality and quantity of the food. Highlights include mixed protein options like the House Special Chow Mein and Chow Fun, where pork, chicken, and shrimp come together in one dish, as well as staples like Kung Pao Chicken and BBQ Pork Fried Rice that stick close to classic flavors. The portions run on the larger side, making this a spot that suits families, couples, or anyone looking to bring home leftovers after a casual meal.

Service stands out as a consistent plus, with friendly staff who create a welcoming environment behind the counter. While the location doesn’t offer much parking and is designed mainly for take-out, the quick turnaround time and helpful order-taking make it a convenient stop for a weekday dinner or weekend lunch. Locals often rely on Fortune for a straightforward, affordable meal, especially when a big portion of crispy egg rolls or salt & pepper ribs fit the bill.

Because this is primarily a takeout joint, your best time to visit is when you’re looking for a quick, filling meal without the bother of sit-down dining. People who enjoy classic Chinese-American dishes—prepared with care but without any pretense—will appreciate Fortune’s reliable approach. Expect a clean and simple space, warm customer interactions, and a menu that delivers hearty flavors in familiar favorites.

The food is really, really good. My favorite dishes are the chow mein and general chicken. The portions are large and the party tray prices are great. I recommend this place if you are craving Chinese food. The employees are super nice too! The parking lot is small.

Very sweet ladies behind the counter offer great customer service, always welcoming and smiling. As for the food let’s just say this place has the best and biggest portions of really good Chinese food. Egg rolls are so crisp and hot every time. Chow mein is amazing. But my go to is always the sweet and sour chicken, you just can’t go wrong when it comes to this place no matter what you order, you know you’ll be full and most likely have some leftover for later. All this at a really decent price earns 5 stars from me!!

Absolute best value for money for Americanized Chinese food in all of Northern California m. Hot, fresh, delicious and the lovely ladies who run the front of the shop are nice as can be.

The best Chinese American food in California. We have traveled throughout California trying different food, however Chinese food seems to lack in the state. We hadn't given up though when we tried Fortune Chinese. I was so excited when I tried their food because of how flavorful and fresh their food was. Our first time ordering I stuffed my face and didn't even take the time to take pictures to write a review on it. I insisted that we come here again to take pictures of our food to review online. Our second time ordering and the food was just as fresh as the first time ordering. Their fried shrimp and fried chicken are perfectly battered and crispy. They aren't like a lot of Chinese restaurants that are more batter than meat. Their lunch and dinner plates are the perfect choice because you get to have fried rice, udon noodles, an egg roll and a wonton with your entrée. You get large portions for what you pay for. Every time we order we have gotten a free add on which is always a pleasant bonus. Definitely will come here again!! I do with they offered delivery, however you can call ahead to place an order for pick up.

Really love the food from here, it is so tasty and a great value. You get a lot of food for a good price! The salt and pepper fish is my favorite thing here, the fish tastes so good not old, and it was a great crisp to it. The salt and pepper chicken is also really good, sometimes smaller pieces can be slightly over fried. They are quick and you can order ahead to make it quicker. They don’t have indoor dining so be aware of that. Overall, a great Chinese restaurant that I definitely recommend coming here!
