Reviews for Fortunate Son Chinese in San Diego, CA
I came here Friday night with my family and the place is beautifully decorated inside. Unfortunately we didn’t get to sit... inside cause I had a big group and we made reservations last minute but the food tasted great! The orange chicken was verycrunchy though. I definitely suggest anyone to sit inside towards the night if you can though, the constant cigarette smellfrom the next door bar was very unpleasant while trying to eat. Other than that the staff are awesome and friendly. Read more
This place was really good. Starting with staff, super friendly. The visuals here are extremely nice. Flowers covering the... entire ceiling. Location is a little small. Of note if you want a mix drink ask to sit in the patio. Indoors is only beer andwine. Food was great portion. Food was delicious... You have to get the ice cream Sunday nice way to end your meal.

The food here is absolutely phenomenal it’s like a Chinese restaurant but taken up 10 notches. The cream cheese wontons for... example have a real crab in them and the walnut shrimp and some of the best deal ever have it’s insanely crispy. I reallyloved the fried rice because it has Chinese sausage inside of it. This place does not take reservations but it’s definitelyworth the wait. I really love that they have a family style portions and the food is delivered super quickly despite it beingvery busy. The chili oil lo mein was my favorite item I loved it, and practically drank the sauce out of the bottom of the bowl.What really surprised me was how much food I got for the cost. A family of four left with a ton of left overs And I only spent60 bucks Read more
Finally! Finally, we made it on our 4th try. Be ready to wait at least an hour if you come after 6PM. Super cute restaurant,... super nice and welcoming people. We had TSO’s chicken and Dan Dan noodles and both were amazing. I highly recommend thisrestaurant as long as you are up for waiting! P.S. don’t forget to add rice with any of the chicken, shrimp, or meat items. Read more
The coolest atmosphere of any restaurant in the neighborhood, and with maybe my favorite food on all of Adams Ave. Fortunate Sun... offers your favorite Chinese American dishes… but just better than you remember. The walnut shrimp was definitely a standout,but we devoured everything that arrived at the table. Worth the wait! Read more
I recently grabbed dinner here and was happy I did. The food was great and decently priced. The orange chicken and shrimp friend... rice were tasty. The venue has an awesome atmosphere with good tunes and offers good family style dining. Great place to go withfriends or on a date. Great music and they even have a pickup window. If your in the neighborhood and want Chinese food this isa great place to visit. Read more
I ordered Door Dash delivery. Total Price: $30.97 w/o delivery fee or tip $7.99-egg rolls $6.99-fried rice $15.99-walnut... shrimp* I was bummed that the Door Dash menu was limited and didn't offer Egg Foo Young, which is what I was hoping to try. Iwent with 2 of their top 3 items on the menu. Egg rolls were not on their top list. It doesn't mean much, but I loved thepackaging of the food. Everything looked appetizing and put together well. I even loved their luxurious napkins. Again, I knowthis may not seem important, but it does when you pay that much for your food! All of the food was really good and it definitelywasn't your typical greasy mix Chinese food. Everything tasted fresh and the size of the shrimp in the walnut shrimp were huge!See pics! The portion sizes were nice, too. I'd like to check out this place again and dine in. *Tip: rice does not comes withthe $15 entree, so I deducted a star. That's pretty expensive w/o white rice to go with it. :-( Read more
Fortunate Son was recommended by locals and we're so glad we went. Even at 5:30 PM on a Sunday there was already at least a 30... minute wait for the first available table. No worries though, just go next door to get a drink at Polite Provisions and have acocktail while you wait. We came to find out Polite Provisions also mixed the drinks for Fortunate Son. The patio seat was funbut the ambience inside is awesome. The food was amazing and unlike the Chinese takeout places I usually go to. There are someawesome veggie options. We got the General TSO cauliflower and the vegan Ma Po tofu. Both incredibly flavorful and filling. Hitthis place up for sure. Read more
