grand fortune chinese restaurant

for sure one of the top 5 best chinese restaurants in omaha especially for the price of food. here last night. had egg dropsoupto start. witch i think is the best egg dropsoupi've ever had. egg dropsoupsometimes can be a bowl of mush. this was not. my wife had the sweet and soursoupwitch i've never been a fan of because some are more sweet than sour or vice versa. theres had a perfect balance. very tasty. also had the pan fried pork buns for an appetizer. they were just ok. i had seasme chicken for my main course. love the huge pieaces of chicken you get. flavor was great also and very moist. my wife had the honey wallnut shrimp. very rich but good. also this place is very comfortable and clean.

disappointed in quality. the staff was incredibly nice but the food was disappointing. the egg dropsouptasted like water - absolutely no flavor. the amazing chicken was less than amazing and the chicken seemed very fatty and poor quality. i spent $33 for 1 adult and 2 kids meals.

i have never dislike a place so much i refused to pay for part of the meal. until tonight. i never really complain. our family took my adult daughter there for her birthday because of the extensive menu. we ordered off the dim sum menu and the regular menu. i cant even comment on the dim sum because we never got our order. after 30 minute wait to place our order it took 20 minutes to get oursouphot and sour soup. it was only the egg parts no tofu or mushrooms. nothing. only mediocre. the hot mustard tasted like an monkey cage smells. ( not kidding) the sweet and sour tasted like bubble gum. 30 minutes after oursoupbowls were picked up our dinner finally arrived. the men got kung pou chicken. the peanuts and veggies were completely raw. the chicken was flavorless and very fatty. they refused to eat it. i had the moo shu chicken. it's pancakes were cheap tortillas. the rest was below average but i could eat it. my daughter had the clay pot chicken. it was mostly sliced onions an celery. she said the chicken was ok. but for $14. you expect more than onions and celery. but not much of it. we tried to make excuses for the food quality thinking maybe poor kitchen help on sunday night. but then we couldn't explain away the instant rice. and poorly cooked at that. the waiter was very busy but kind. i felt bad to tell him we would pay for the meals the men refused to eat because he was a decent waiter for how busy he was. resturant was very understaffed. sadly disappointed. we only see outle daughter every few months. and this made our family night very unplesent.

don't eat here. bad! because of all the good reviews i thought i had found the perfect place. i did read the one bad review and thought maybe the reviewer was overly critical. after eating here, i agree with his negative analysis.

i ordered five main dishes, egg rolls, egg drop soup, and crab ragoons in order to get a wide sampling to review. the crab ragoons, egg rolls, and egg dropsoupwere slightly below good. thesoupdid have a corn flavor that i did not enjoy. the sesame chicken and general tso's chicken are breaded and soggy! the meat used in these dishes seems to be the hard part of the chicken thighs. dreadfully unappetizing. on the positive side, the sauce on both is yummy. the mongolian beef is dry and on the tasteless side. the beef with garlic sauce was one of the better dishes. not that it would call me back to eat it again. finally, the only good dish was the chicken lomein.

i just don't know how so many people enjoy this place.

good. delicious hot & soursoupand i love their egg foo young!

a groupon deal brought me out west for a first visit to grand fortune and i'm glad it did.

i'm generally not the biggest fan of asian soups, but the wontonsouphad a broth that wasn't overly salty (my normal complaint) and the pork dumplings were quite good. the general tso's chicken came with several meatball-sized chunks of chicken with a nicely balanced sweet/spicy sauce. my wife's combination lo mein (beef, chicken, and shrimp) got a nice review as well. portions were plentiful and we've got leftovers for lunch tomorrow. we were too late for the dim sum menu, but that offers a nice excuse for a return trip.

the atmosphere was pleasing--a little more elegant than your average chinese restaurant. our server, though she seemed to be the only one for the entire dining area, was very friendly and the food came quickly.
