Consistently good food and great service. I recommend their takeout too. 10 minutes, fresh and reasonably priced. A good value in a town with limited quality restaurants.

I've eaten here probably 10 times and have never had an exceptional meal, notwithstanding having ordered some pricey menu offerings. I just don't think they have it in them. Service is attentive and good, but it's a plastic booth, plastic menu, chop suey (though somewhat updated) kind of place. Creativity on the menu or in the kitchen? Not that I... More

My wife and I are semi-regulars (five or six times a year), and we are pleased with food and service most of the time. Tonight (New Year's Eve) was a major disappointment. The waiter looked like he was on his way to (or from) the gym (i.e., green t-shirt over grey "long johns," pants, and gym shoes. The Dragon &... More

We ate at Great Fortune as a nice relief from Thanksgiving leftovers. I had not eaten there since they moved to newer digs on Main Street. The food was plentiful and delicious--I will definitely return the next time I visit my hometown. The staff was solicitous and made us glad we ate there--everybody in our party left full and happy!

Charlie in the kitchen and Fiona out front in their new restaurant make a super team. Great food, great service and great value. Carry out also available. Super Hot & Sour Soup. Peking Duck also available.

Very nice spot. Good food (and a lot of it) with very friendly service. Guy playing guitar on the terrace a nice touch. Rolled out the door!

Good local Chinese restaurant owned by friendly young couple. Service is great - they remember what you usually order. Setting is very nice. I rated the food Average because I'm comparing it with DC Chinese - which is fabulous. For this area, this is very good Chinese. (Try the Shanghai noodles)

This is a great place for a casual Chinese dinner or lunch. Staff is friendly and efficient and the owners are on the premises. Good food at reasonable prices. Center room is a little noisy--asked to be seated in the wing on the side if you want comfortable conversation. We have visited many times and have never had a bad... More

Stopped in circa quick dinner. My wife and I both enjoyed the hot sour soups and then moved on to the main course. She had the green bean garlic - which she enjoyed. I had the shrimp with cashew nuts - which had plenty of shrimp and cashews, but unfortunately was overwhelmed by too many and too soft steamed vegetables... More
