This restaurant took me back to my childhood in Pasadena California. The food was so good and fresh and it was a lot of food. I haven't had fried rice this good, in a long time. And the shrimp toast is a must!

I have gone there twice to try the restaurant. Both times they were unexpectedly closed. The first time was some utility issue and this time, 10/31/23, the said closed for the month. That's two tries out of three and mixed reviews. Someone is telling me something.

Ordered hot and sour soup. It was the worst thing I ever ate. I have never had peas, carrots and chicken in this soup. Crab Rangoon was terrible no crab and Philly cheese was runny.

TAKE OUT.. extremely friendly and competent; their offerings seem to have a different flavor then all the other restaurants would seem to be from the same cookbook. It's easily accessible from just about anywhere in the Metairie area and if you call ahead and give them enough time you will not have to wait very long.

My family and I tried Young Fortune for the first time today and we were EXTREMELY pleased!! I ordered too much food and now we have left overs for a couple of days! HUGE portions and delicious food. This is a repeat for sure.

I know it's a little pricey, but it's so so worth it. This is the real deal y'all....Don't pass it up! And the owner and her daughter were SO kind and generous!!

This is a tough one! Mostly takeout business, very small and congested dinning area. The food, however, far exceeds the atmosphere of the place. Each dinner foam carton was overfilled, one dinner is enough for 2 possibly 3 people, average cost $16.00.

The pics of menus are way out of date everything has doubled in price. Theonly food item that is good is the won ton soup but 7 bucks for a small is way too much. I will say the soup is loaded with sliced pork and veggies. The problem with this place is that it's filthy and rundown You get a lot of food but 15 bucks for mandarin chicken at lunch is ridiculous they should spend some money remodeling. I bet the rats have a great time when they close oh and if you look at the pics of menus they don't give refunds on food items lmao. That should tell something right there but I know most people are idiots and don't read things. Stay away from this place

mediocre food, cheap on necessary packaging. I ordered for taour, they placed it in one of those styrofoam containers on an small carboard tray (the ones youd see canned sodas in that display the item. Mind you this is takeout so guess what happens, the food spills over my carpet when I had to hard brake (sorry, id rather not rearend someone, your noodles are the last thing on my mind) how much does it really cost for a smal plastic bag to contain that tyrofoam or if they want to pretend to be nevironmentally conscious...paper. Noodles themselves wete nothing out of the ordary, just typical chinese takeout. In asia, you'll see these stores that would nickel and dime you for everything, like not hand you utensils to eat with or paper towels to wipe with the goal being profit no matter how small its. They also tend to push boundaries on cooking safety by using just expired ingredients (no one will notice one day of it being expired) to lower costs. ive never seen food handed to a customer on a small previously used tray like you'd see in costco, but I guess thats the standard here in this place. makes you wonder what else itheyre cutting corners on. Oh and if you try to eat it while youre parked, they come to bother you despite the fact you bought it there. Id say there are a ton of other places to give your money to, Id skip this one in the future and i suggest you may want to consider it. If youre chintzing out on a 10 cent plastic bag, it makes me suspicicious of what else you cut corners on. If you read the other reiews, the eating section is kinda cluttered, like a small warehouse and youre eating next to the items stored. The cashier/waitrdd sits on what looks like an office desk facing the door so when you come in, its like walking into your managers offcie, just missing guest chairs. Sadly I even gave a 2$ tip that would have covred the cost of the plastic bag to keep the container of food intact but alas, the profit motive is way to strong. I dont write reiews but this is just exquisitely annoying and inconvenient. Note that. the 5 star reviews are coming from people who know the owners. My suggestion to them is separate the sauce to actually taste the cooking and not masking any old mratd or whatnot.
