Fortune House Restaurant - Scarborough

You can't expect the excellent service provided from the restaurant staffs unless you are the old customers but the food are pretty delicious, especially the Oily Shrimp and Lobster.

This is one of my favorite place for family dining. Good food at reasonable price. I recommend pigeon which is not always available, steam oyster. Service is also better than average. If you don't know what to order, ask them for suggestion. Go during during week days, weekend can become quite busy. They take Visa.

We are Chinese and decided to have dinner at "Fortune House Restaurant" in a Scarborough plaza. Both the outside of the restaurant and the door entry area inside look rather run-down, but the dining room is not bad. Furnishings are well-worn, tables have white tablecloths and there are lots of stuff posted around the walls ... none of this bothered us because it is like a lot of small Chinese restaurants and people go there for the food.The menu has a large Cantonese selection and there is a separate card of house specials. We ordered dishes that we know well, so that we can judge compared to other restaurants. Prices are quite reasonable compared to other Cantonese restaurants nowadays Service is attentive and the food came very quickly ... everything arrived within 10 minutes after ordering.Food was flavourful, but somewhat salty and over-seasoned. Although the dish size was generous, the presentation was mediocre. This restaurant still follows the Chinese tradition of serving complimentary broth soup as a starter and sweet soup as a dessert. Overall, this place is good value for reasonable food.
