Good Fortune Cafe

My favorite American Chinese restaurant. They make sushi here, but its ok. Nothing to rave about.

Since the pandemic, they stopped dining in bummer. My favorite is their crispy beef, I wish they would tone down on the shredded carrots.
Wanton crab dumplings are good. They give you large triangle ones. Though maybe add more crabmeat .

They dropped the ball once when I had used UE, so always double-check. General Tsòs is good, it's breaded and deep-fried to perfection.

Sweet and Sour chicken is very good here too.

As far as service It's pretty good. The employees are friendly. When you do get to dine inside, the restaurant was clean, and so are the bathrooms.
I really wish they would reopen the dining area, it's been like 3 years :(
They do delivery through Uber eats, however they have a lot hidden fees.

Finally a good American Chinese spot. After being in Germantown for 12 years and having zero options we tried this off a recommendation.

With low expectations we we're pleasantly surprised how much flavor all the food had.

Sesame chicken, Lo mein, kung pow, chicken with cashew, and sweet and sour all delicious.

The egg roll was just ok but everything else delicious. Will be back soon to try more.

The also got every modification on point.

Not very good. Frankly the three dishes we got had no taste. Sweet and sour chicken had no sauce. Orange chicken. I orange. And my crunchy noodles were too soupy.

Ordered food for lunch pickup, and it was ready and still hot when I got it.

I ordered the chicken lo mein and pan fried pork dumplings. The dumpling filling had a good flavor, but the wrap was a bit thick. The chicken lo mein was a bit plain, but still decent.

The food here is consistent, but nothing particularly special.

I was in the Kentlands for errands and decided to take a chance on Good Fortune. I'm glad I did! The chicken & corn soup was an unexpected delight. It might have been literally the best I've ever had. Chose the vegetarian chicken curry on a bit of an environmental lark. The faux chicken had a nice texture and chewiness, and the curry was flavorful.

The young woman handling customer service seemed to be alone but was doing the best she could. The kitchen was slow, but I popped in to the grocery store while they were preparing my order.

I'll be back!

This place has the best dumplings! (just make sure they gave you the right ones)

The main item I want to talk about was the pan fried dumplings. Absolutely perfect, juicy, and amazing. A note is to make sure you get the right dumpling, we ordered vegetable dumplings but they were completely stuffed with pork. Great for the carnivore folk, not so much for the vegetarians. When I called to tell them about the mistake they were very polite and happy to give me credit for my next order.

They also have vegetarian beef and chicken on the menu but they were out of it for that day. We instead opted for the szechuan tofu and the sesame chicken. The szechuan tofu continues to be a solid choice everywhere we go with no complaints there. The sesame chicken could've been a bit crispier but I was overall happy with it. Definitely looking forward to their version of vegetarian chicken on the next order.

For the contactless pickup, it's geniously setup with the main door blocked by a table and a plastic curtain behind with slits cut into it. They reach threw the curtain to place your order on the table before you arrive. When you're there, you look for your phone number and away you go.

TL;DR: Get the dumplings, you won't be dissapointed

Ordered pork lo mein and hunan-style chicken. They were fine, but very basic. None of the "fun", crunchy ingredients like baby corn, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots. No mushrooms. Too much reliance on red pepper flakes. Not too impressed.

Ordered Rainbow Roll, it should not have shrimp on it says Yellowtail, Tuna, Salmon. I am allergic to Shrimp, when I called they told me "just take it off, it's only on top" ...sorry that's not how food allergies work.

Started with the Crab Rangoons and they were spectacular! For main course we had shrimp broccoli, chicken black bean sauce and a happy family. All were so delicious that we had to order again because we couldn't get enough. Went and picked up a combo lomein and beef broccoli and destroyed it in minutes. So happy we found out about this gem. Gotta try this place if you haven't yet! Best Chinese food in Montgomery Count

I really enjoyed all the dishes I ordered. The kung pao chicken was perfectly done. Not too salty. Triple delight had plenty of proteins and not just all veggies. The rice noodles were ridiculously good. My kids couldn't get enough! I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants great Chinese food!
