Came here because of the reviews. But... I just watched her use her hands (scooping my food) to transfer my food from a plastic container to a to go container. She did not wash her hands after handling the cash drawer. I also witnessed her microwaving my food. Who does that?!

A Tulsa staple. Take out only. Vegetable lo mein is packed with veggies, egg rolls fried to perfection, and the sweet and sour sauce is very authentic to Cantonese style (and no unnecessary red food coloring). The prices are pretty good and service usually fast. And idk why people say the lady is rude, she is always very nice to me. 😊 Their food has tasted exactly the same since I ate here as a child with my grandparents.

This place has The Worst beef fried rice ever!!! I opened a container of white rice, beef pieces, and soy sauce. There was no vegetables, no fried egg, no sprouts, simply nothing but rice and pieces of meat. To add insult, the lady at the counter was unfriendly, and they charge an extra 3% to use a debit card. I lightweights want to call and request a refund.

Nice people, quick service, good price. The beef and broccoli has the texture of boiled meat and that threw me off but other than that the taste was good! Great pot stickers.

The lady was very rude & impatient from the moment we started ordering. Then after we got our food I asked for napkins as we didn't get any in our bags & she replies "for what?!" I'm seriously thinking is she seriously asking me why I need napkins for when I ordered nearly $75 worth of food from her which also I was charged for full entrees when it was supposed to be sides like 4 people do not eat this much food. Before we left we noticed the little note on the menu board stating "Please call orders in for better service" had I known I was supposed to call my order in to get better service I would've been happy to do so.

The General Tsao chicken is so good and so big my daughter and I can share one. I think their prices just went up from $11 to $14 for it, buy still a decent deal. Lunch special is a good deal- about $10. Take- out only.

food - while i do not remember if i've ever tried the egg foo young when my mom has food - while i do not remember if i've ever tried the egg foo young when my mom has got it from the restaurant before, i'm certain she has mentioned the dish to me before because that name is unforgettable. that said, the food itself was pleasantly surprising compared to what i'd expected it to be based off reading the description from a menu my mom has on her fridge. although the grey color of the gravy atop the dish might not have the most appetizing appearance for some people, i recognized from previous experience eating gravy that the thickened texture of it suggested a really good taste, and that estimate was confirmed from my first bite. the patties of the egg foo young also challenged and exceeded my expectations, as i was anticipating a shape and texture similar to a crab cake, though the patties actually reminded me more of biscuits in the shape and texture of the exterior, with an interior reminiscent of a veggie quiche. all that to say, the dish was excellent, and stands out among the several carry-out asian food i've ever tried. and the sprite i ordered with the meal made for a refreshing compliment to the filling plate of food. service - the service i received was all timely and pleasant. my primary interaction was with a guy at the counter who received my order and then went to the kitchen to assist in its fulfillment. the skill he displayed in floating in such a way was outstanding in itself, and then additionally he impressed me by following the lady who delivered the food to personally deliver the drink. that gesture conveyed to me an expert attention to detail in delivering personable customer service. ambiance - the ambiance i'd observed achieved a simple, nuanced balance between culture and tradition. i especially appreciate the neutral white-colored wall that highlighted the intricate, vibrantly colored artwork on display. also, a traditional portrait of ronald reagan in western wear juxtaposes uniquely with the traditional chinese paintings and bonsai tree that also comprise the restaurant decor, and while likely not intended to be overtly symbolic, that juxtaposition suggests to me a deep-rooted pride in american culture, of which food traditions are important.

This is a carry out or Delivery place only, there are no tables, there are some chairs to set while waiting for your order. They are fairly quick for we walked in and ordered once there I would say we had our meals in under 20 min. I ordered the chicken Lo mein with NO veggies. My husband got a small sweet and sour chicken and a sweet and sour Pork. We also got. Cheese wontons and fried dumplings. The chicken Lo mein with no veggies was exactly what you would want in plain noodles veggies. The chicken was good, not dried or tough. The noodles seemed to be the thin spaghetti, the coop on the noodles was perfect. The cheese wontons have a small amount of cheese in them. The flavor is great but compared to other places I have gotten the wontons it is mainly the wontons with a small amount of cheese in the middle. Maybe 1/4 of teaspoon of cheese. The clover is great so it would be up to each individual if you like them based on if you want mostly cheese or mostly wontons. I would order them again. My husband mentioned that the pork was too tough but he did like the chicken in the sweet and sour. He said the sweet and sour sauce was good. He tried got the fried dumplings as you can see from my order I'm not much for cooked veggies. The dumplings had beef and veggies. He was not much of a fan but I know he is a very picky on taste. I have lived in the area of this place for 12 years and never tried it. If I remember correctly they have been there since about 1972, so they have been serving Tulsa for over 50 years. To me they have to be good or they would not still be there. I hear from a lot of people that enjoy egg rolls that Fortune Chef has some of the best around. I will definitely order from here again. If you like this type of food I would definitely encourage you to try it out if you have not.

Always fresh and hot. Quality food and a lot for the price to get a couple meals out of. The eggrolls are always crispy. There's never not good dish we've haven't tried! Fortune chef is our go-to spot!

After going to Rice Bowl for quite a while because of terrible experience elsewhere, I decided today I'd give somewhere else a chance. I always take mine to go so I can enjoy it by myself. I decided I o come try this place out. Since I've had awesome service and food at Rice Bowl, I'll compare it to this. I called in my order and it was just disappointing from the get go. The guy sounded annoyed and in a hurry. Didn't even take a name or give me estimated time. I timed it for 10 minutes since most places have theirs ready in about that time frame. I arrived, and didn't even get a greeting. Lady wasn't rude but gave this, "I run this place kind of attitude". Now let's talk about the food. First off, the smell is nice. I think anything fried smells good, anyways, it's just too much breading, it taste bland. Over fried or probably recycled oil because it taste of an old frying oil. Comparing it to rice bowl, I paid about the same price for bland food and it's less. Someone was bragging about the pineapple chicken. I thought it was going to be something special but it's just like orange chicken but pineapple. Would I try it again, maybe. Did it taste good, meh. Price, meh

Still the best and cheapest Chinese food in Tulsa. Call in pick up 20 minutes later. No Boujee here.

I have been getting take out from Fortune chef for years. They have some of my favorite egg rolls in Tulsa. In my top three egg roll places for sure. They seem to cook the inside stuffing a bit more than most places. Which I like. They also have really good egg foo young. The patties are thicker than most places. They have good flavor and good gravy too. Lunch specials are a great way to try many different items that they offer. Special luncheon is Tuesday-Friday 11 am-3 pm starts at $5.15. This place is to go only.

This thick and chunky chicken stew is not what I was expecting for an egg drop soup. It was so laden with cornstarch the broth was like jello. Egg drop soup should be a lovely chicken bone broth with eggs swirled in. Cmon people. What you put in your soup jello should be put in the fried rice. Did someone get the recipes backwards?

Fortune Chef has been a midtown Tulsa staple nearly 50 years and tonight was my first visit. The egg foo Yong was the crowd flavorite: Super fluffy and good flavor inside and crispy on the outside with gravy served alongside which is a good balance of savory and slight sweetness which compliments it well. The lo mein is also flavorful with a good balance of veggies and meat. The pea pod beef has a ample amount of water chestnut for a great crunch factor. I'd put this at the top of Chinese take-out places in Tulsa. Definitely go if you haven't been!

Excellent take out Chinese food! They've been at this same location for many years and it's because their food is outstanding! Try their sesame chicken!

This has been our go-to Chinese take out for years, especially when we haven't been feeling well, but it seems as though there have been some recent changes that we don't care for. Food no longer comes in pint/quart containers but in Styrofoam clamshell containers, which I believe equates to smaller portions. Sweet and sour sauce is now given very sparingly and no longer contains any vegetables. I like to support local but we'll likely go elsewhere unfortunately, which is a bit sad as I'm 62 and have eaten their food since my high school days....

Been coming here since 1990 but they have been open since 1970! Some of the best in Tulsa! They're Pork lo Mein is soooooooo delicious with a Smokey pork flavor and tender noodles and the perfect amount of sauce. We also love their unique take on Egg Foo Yung which is the absolute best we've had and judge all others by. Our other favorites are the Lemon Chicken, Sweet & Sour Chicken and Egg Rolls. I could go on but this is making me super hungry again and they're closed. Be sure to tip them because this family works so hard for us and have for 50 YEARS!

Love this place I wish they were closer to my house but anytime I'm in Tulsa in the area I eat here. Best egg rolls ever. One of those places that does not look like much and is carryout only. But if you have not ever ate here you are missing out .

Exactly what you expect from Chinese take-out. Solid. Would recommend spring rolls & sesame chicken.

Not to be confused with Fortune Chef downtown, this hole in the wall near 31st and Yale is by far the best Chinese Restaurant in Oklahoma. Everything is cooked fresh, and made to order, and I have never had a bad meal ever from here. There's the typical favorites, sweet and sour pork, sesame chicken, and egg drop soup, and it's all delicious. But I suggest you get out of your comfort zone a little and try the tomatoes and beef, pineapple chicken, or any of the Curry offerings. The Curry isn't overly spicy, unless you request it that way, and is addictive. Soft drinks are only a dollar, and the lunch Tuesday through Saturday lunch special is only $3.95. It's take out only, no frills, and truly delicious.

I live in California now, but every time i come home to Tulsa i make a visit to Fortune Chef. Take out only at this location. you can call ahead or order on site. Very affordable. Their Eggrolls are the best anywhere I've ever had. They do have meat in them, so vegetarians sorry. Their springs rolls (new) have no meat, but are not very good. My favorites: Egg fu young, (avail. chicken, shrimp, or veg) Fried Rice (avail. chicken, shrimp) Sweet and Sour chicken are all my fav's. They have lunch combo specials or a la cart. I'm home visiting my folks and will probably go a few times while i'm here. Probably even freeze some of the egg fu young to take home. YES it's that good.

They make their egg rolls from SCRATCH!!! They are the best I've ever eaten and I've lived in California and Texas which are huge foodie states! Their food is freshly cooked to order, portions are enough for 2 easily, but so good you won't want to share!! Call it in or order there, either way it's quick! I just know they will retire one of these days and then.......sigh.

Growing up I loved this place. The sweet and sour pork was delicious, as was the fried rice. I think there has been a change of ownership in recent years though, the older Chinese man is no longer there. I went once or twice recently and did not like it at all. I ordered hot and sour soup and was bland with no mushrooms and totally clear. So disappointed. The sweet and sour pork in not good now either. Sad.

Typical, fast food chinese food. Nothing special, just average. Heavily breaded fried foods, cake like egg foo young (not good), and some items are very bland. A little seasoning like garlic, pepper, etc would go a long way to improving their entrees flavor profiles. Some reviewers over-hyped this place in my opinion or haven't had great chinese food ever.

Quick and good service with reasonable prices. But it is not very authentic Chinese cuisine.

This place has some potential. Probably as authentic as you can get in Tulsa. The food is jammed pack with MSG, no surprise there. They don't always use the freshest of ingredients, it's hit or miss, and the service is non-existent. Flavors are definitely there in most dishes, but there are a few items I would not order again (i.e. hot and sour soup). Worth a try if you are in the area.

I had Fortune Chef take out a few nights ago, and Meh...Not so great. The sweet & sour pork was fatty and the breading was kind of mushy. The cheese won tons were all won ton & no cheese. The one thing I do like here are the ribs, the ones on the bone. Great flavor, and you get quite a few in an order. I have had other things here, and at best, it's mediocre. For chinese take-out, I would recommend Schezuan Express at 51st & Memorial. They have been around forever, the people are nice, the prices are reasonable, and the food is always good. I only wish it was closer to my house!

Tulsa standby. Been going for years. We live way out South and I crave the egg rolls! Best Chinese takeout in Tulsa.

Great Chinese food from a locally owned family business. Takeout only, but super cheap prices. Get the sesame chicken with egg rolls!

Lady was not very friendly. I don't like how they staple the bags because it discourages checking the order. Drove away and she forgot my wontons just like I guessed. Food was mediocre.

Ryan N.

Decent food. Service is questionable depending on who takes/brings your order. The older lady is quite rude. She is very short and dismissive. I would think someone in the fast food industry who is not a major chain should be more engaging, more customer service oriented.

Fortune Chef is a take out place. Fortune Chef has been in Tulsa for a long time. At first a dine in restaurant at a mall the owner found that most of his business was take out. I love the sweet and sour soup, the boneless chicken is good. We like the Hong Kong Steak with bokchoy. Maybe not the greatest Chinese food but certainly consistent and convenient.
