Service was fast and the owner was very friendly. The place is small and lacks space if you want to eat there.
I ordered the beef w. Broccoli. The meal wasn't covered with sauce which is nice. The beef and fried rice was so so. The broccoli wasnt overcooked which I l liked. Previously, I tried the general tso chicken which i thought was better. I would rate the food at 3.5 but the speed of service bumps it up to a 4. Overall, good place for take out.
I missed them being in the old location. I find that their prices changed a lot. Seriously try their lunch specials they are so worth it. Sweet and Sour Pork is $11 on the regular menu but during lunch is $6.50 well worth it. They have always done good egg rolls. If your going to do a pickup between noon and 2pm be prepared people are waiting out the door.
i-Fortune Cookie is a new Chinese takeout place in a swath of LIC that is up and coming. I spoke with the owner, and this is in fact a replacement of his original location that used to be next to Court Square Diner. I've ordered takeout from here twice now, and while I can't speak for delivery as both times I've picked up – they are super fast, and super friendly at the counter. It's a small space, and when you enter you are basically coming right into their kitchen. The space appears very clean and you can technically watch them cook your food if you'd like.
It is basic Chinese takeout, and as long as your stomach can handle it, it's great. I definitely recommend the
– Orange Chicken,
– General Tso's Chicken,
– Beef Fried Rice,
– Hot and Sour Soup,
– Cold Sesame Noodles, and the
– Ribs appetizer.
However, I'm not a huge fan of
– the "brown sauce" nor the
– Chicken Fried Rice or the
– Chicken with Chinese Vegetables.
They always include the usual and typical fortune cookies, and many packets of soy sauce, duck sauce, and mustard. I don't really understand the mustard…
Overall, I've heard good things about the original location, and look forward to trying many more entrees down the road.
Fortune Cookie was my favorite Chinese restaurant in LIC, and used to be located on 23rd Street across from the Court Square Diner. One day they didn't answer their phone, and just like that, they had vanished. Stupid LIC leases.
But alas, they are back! Located in the old local pharmacy near Key Food, they are open for business again. I was so excited to see this today that I stopped in for lunch.
The owner remembered me and was super friendly. I got a few different dishes (the basic standards) and I am writing this quite full, as happy as ever.
While I can't speak to their delivery yet, at the old place it was one of the fastest to arrive in all of LIC. The food isn't super fancy but it's by far the best Chinese takeout in the neighborhood.
Exactly what you want when you decide you're craving cheap Chinese takeout for lunch. The storefront is tiny – definitely a take-out place, not even a single chair to wait on. But $6 for a lunch special can't be beat. I'm a sucker for orange chicken, and it was perfect – crispy and sweet, with enough white rice to soak up all the sauce. It's nothing fancy and definitely not gourmet, but it's exactly what I wanted. They're quick and friendly and cheap, and if you were really looking for a place to sit down, there's a park across the street. For a neighborhood as devoid of good Chinese places as this one, I'll definitely be coming back here plenty.
Their prices are getting close to Manhattan prices. But the food is almost worth it. I usually go for the lunch specials
The owner basically does everything and is really quite nice. This place does the trick for your typical chinese fix…or in my case, the 'mitzvah' of eating chinese food on Christmas. I ordered the shrimp and chicken hunan style, asking if I add beef in as well – which he did for a $1 extra. It's supposed to be spicy, but seemed like more of the typical 'brown sauce'…but I had some hot sauce, so I made do. They have brown rice too, which was nice ($1 extra to swap). All in all, not Michelin worthy, but with a name like "i-Fortune Cookie"…it serves it's intended purpose.
