I had food ordered on Doordash and Fortune Star insists you include rice on every item you buy. I thought that was strange. I ended up paying 101.00 on food through Doordash and most of the food that showed up was rice and hardly any Chinese food. I now have a pound of rice since I bought multiple items and the amount of Chinese food is minimal. Another way to screw over your customers. Never AGain.

Y’all are missing out. Easily one of the best Chinese food places in San Mateo. The sauce is always good. It tastes fresh. The chowmein is our fav in town and the portions are to share or to have the next day. I don’t want them to blow up but it’s time dashed or dined in.

Myles Domingo (Smyles)

Ordered catering for 24 people within 48 hours. Staff was super helpful and understanding for late pickup. Lady on the phone gave us a discount for bulk ordering and a crispy eggplant dish for free (which I’d order again). Portion sizes were huge and food was delicious.

I’ve been coming to Fortune Star for 20+ years! The menus changed slightly over time, but its still owned by the kindest, most down to earth family I’ve had the pleasure of knowing my entire life! They serve delicious, authentic, Chinese food! Their Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings are out of this world. Their hot & sour soup always warms the soul! But my go-to is the Veg Chow Fun & Chicken with String Beans. If you’re looking for your new favorite Chinese food restaurant, look no further!!!

This is my childhood Chinese restaurant, which is what I compare all other Chinese food to. The schezwan beef is the best, crispy, a little sweet, and spicy; I’ve never found another like this one. Also the best chow mein, soft noodle and amazing.

I ordered fried rice and pot stickers to go. The fried rice tasted like it was burned and other than that too.

Denise Louise Steffen

Great food, fresh, hot, and not too salty. We dined in, there were only two ladies handling the dining room, walk ins, pick ups and door dash but we still received great service. I am grateful to know we have an authentic Chinese spot around the corner.

Lee Colin

So disappointing the first time back but read on! This was my favorite pre Pandemic Chinese food that has become terrible. So sad. The fish was so old in our Hong Kong chow Mein. May give one more chance before never returning. Well they did great the next time thank God. I had the salt and pepper prawns. Yum yum. My wife loved her meal as well.

Sophie Chen

Great service and delicious food. We ordered shrimp and scallop with vegetables and the portion was big. The egg and tomato soup and green onion pancakes were also both very good. The restaurant is pretty spacious and quiet, good value for price.
