Really good food. I had a special request for curry sauce with my chicken and broccoli, and they made it perfect. Egg rolls are really good. Fried rice was better than I expected. The crab Rangoons are generic. I guess you can't have it all

Update: 12/25/24 Fortune Express is the neighborhood go to for Chinese food. AA As always the was delicious. Service from Amy on a busy Christmas night was exceptional. She works hard. Merry Christmas! Thanks for the Christmas gift! The best Special Lo Mein in South City is often very fresh a side order of mixed vegetables goes well decent amount of chicken beef and three fairly nice sized shrimp seasoned tasty.

Best St. Paul sandwich I’ve ever had. The woman at the register is super nice, and the service is quick too. 10/10 would recommend.

SO GOOD. I love their Chicken Lo Mein - loaded with fresh veggies, big pieces of chicken and a whole container is enough to feed two adults. I typically have leftovers the next day! Delivery is super affordable and always arrives within or before the estimated wait time :) Big Fan

This place is a gem. The food is pretty darn good and they give you a lot of it. The prices are very reasonable. They are actually pretty cheap compared to prices in restaurants these days. They stay open pretty late, especially for St Louis, and the service is excellent. I moved into the neighborhood recently. I'm a 3 minute walk from this place. What a great find. They're open until 10:30 which great if you like to eat later like I do. They're very fast as well. I usually pick up, but I ordered delivery a couple of times when I wasn't able to get out, and it was super fast. Also if you live in a 2-mile radius the delivery is free. Deliveries that are farther than this have a pretty low fee also. This is pretty much unheard of these days. Considering most restaurants use a delivery service now, not only do they jack up their prices but you pay an exorbitant service fee. Do not use doordash for this restaurant, you'll do much better letting them deliver it and you'll save a couple bucks too. Also use the menu on their own website. It is more complete than the prices are a bit better than doordash. On one pickup order I didn't check my bag they left out the egg roll. I called them and she they told me that they would include an extra one in my next order. My next order was a delivery because I wasn't physically able to get out. Not only did they give me a replacement egg roll, but they gave me 3 free ones as well. Just great service! Also very considerate. The lady who runs the front is always really busy but always super nice! Great little find in this neighborhood.

My food was very good. Was a little upset because I ordered crab Rangoon as a side but received an egg roll. The egg roll was good but was looking forward to the Rangoon.

I order from Fortune Express probably once a week. They are my favorite for Chinese delivery. And their chop suey tastes the way mom used to make it. My go to place for comfort food.

I have been eating here a lot lately. I have been trying all different dishes. The food is great. I usually eat there so the food is always hot. Inflation hasn't affected this place. I would say this place costs 20% less than the same food at other Chinese restaurants. Plus its better food than most.
