Fortunate Son Chinese San Diego Reviews
Super sick ambiance, great attentive service, food came out
Super sick ambiance, great attentive service, food came out quick and was flavorful and well portioned. Would recommend a million times.
This place is just ok.
I think it's overpriced for what you get and it's silly to have to pay for white rice. On another note, the service was excellent and the restaurant itself is super cute!
host was so rude, we came to the restaurant to celebrate my
host was so rude, we came to the restaurant to celebrate my sisters birthday and she denied us an hour before close. Mind you we tried eating here before and it was the same experience. Honestly disappointed.
The food has definitely changed over the years.
The price has gone up and the quality has gone way down. Disappointed on the taste of the food.
Super cool place, very well decorated, we did Chinese
Super cool place, very well decorated, we did Chinese style Funky, cool, great music, pretty loud too. And fairly good food. We have the orange chicken, honey shrimp, some noodles, fried rice, cucumber, salad, and some of the green beans which were
The best Chinese food I've had in a while, you won't regret
The best Chinese food I've had in a while, you won't regret it. I liked how the flavors weren't too overwhelming. Everything was delicious!

If you're coming here for the photos, the ambience is definitely pretty. It's a dimly lit restaurant, especially at dinner, so don't be surprised by the lighting. My family and I ordered the fried rice--personally, I found it a bit m
The ambiance was very nice.
The decorations and vibes inside were also pretty. However, that was really the only good thing with my experience at Fortunate Son. The food was okay, not bad but definitely not the best Chinese food in SD. Portion sizes are bigger than regular bu
One of the best Chinese places in San Diego.
Parking can be tough to come by and wait times are usually long, so recommend getting there early and grabbing drinks next door while you wait. Most items are family style with large portions. We love the Dan Dan noodles, crab rangoons, and broccoli

This was my first time ordering from Fortunate Sons, after reading some pretty good reviews! My order was a takeout order right upon opening hours at 5. I'm very disappointed in what I received; the general tso chicken was over done, and too muc
The ambience is lovely and staff is very friendly.
Unfortunately, the food is way too salty! It was so overbearlingly salty we couldn't eat more than a few bites. Noodles are really oily. No other flavor but salt unfortunately.

I had been waiting a long time to try this place and it was very much worth the wait. I made reservations about 2 weeks in advance when some friends would be in town. We got there right when they opened and were seated quickly. The plates are served
I really enjoyed the ambience and decoration of this
I really enjoyed the ambience and decoration of this restaurant. I unfortunately did not get many pics of the food. However it was yummy. The egg drop soup was really delicious. The green beans, very yummy. I was not a fan of the beef broccoli, just

Has to either be my number one or number two spot to eat in San Diego and North Park. This time we shared the Orange Chicken, Beef broccoli, Fried Rice, Salt & Pepper Shrimp. Everything was perfect. Thank you to the staff at Fortunate Son for cre

Food was so so so GOOD! Service was great until time to get the check but they got really busy just as we were finishing.Definitely recommend.
Food is amazing.
Love this place. We had the orange chicken& shrimp dish. Fried rice was really good. We added chicken to it, but I think we would do it without the chicken next time.

We were looking for some good asian food in Northpark and we found this place as a highly rated place. Our family decided to try this restaurant but were surprised to know that we need prior reservation, but they were willing to take names onto the w

One of my favorite places to visit when in San Diego! I always ask for Julia as my waitress - she's the best!! Friendly, knowledgeable and makes the experience great. The food is always amazing! My favorite thing every time is the General Tso Caulifl

Vibe/ambiance/service: 10 Food: 6! Ahh I'm so sorry to not be giving a 5 star but for me the food was just like overly drenched in salty flavors and was ultimately too salty. I love the vegetable side dishes like cucumber salad, green beans etc but

The ambiance was beautiful and very perfect for what I was looking for- something intimate and unique. However, the food was okayyyyy. Everything was very salty. If you end up going, maybe talk to the waiter about the salt levels if you eat normal le

I love coming here for some wholesome Chinese food and good night vibes. Great to come here as a first date or double date. Limited seating and weekends are busy. Service is great! The servers know how to explain the menu in detail. Egg drop soup is
If you go here, you have to get the honey walnut shrimp.
It was probably the best honey walnut shrimp I have ever tasted. The General Tso's Chicken was kinda spicy (I can't handle spice very well so it might just be me). Lo Mien was just alright, probably won't get it again, there wasn't that much flavor.
Food Review only as service and ambiance were great! I
Food Review only as service and ambiance were great! I hate to write this as I was attracted to the decor; I had optimistic hope for the food as this place only has 3.8/5 rating. We arrived at 3:10pm shortly after they opened at 3pm. No one was ar

The meal started with no one upfront to seat us when we got there. The music was so loud that we couldn't even hear each other from across the table. We ordered off of a very small menu and while we were waiting the couple next to us got their food,
Service was great but this is the most disgusting food I've
Service was great but this is the most disgusting food I've ever had. Flavors were all off. Panda has the same menu with a much better taste
What a cute Chinese Restaurant.
I love the decor and the service. This place is always packed so be ready to wait. They do have a bar next door that you can wait at. Come at night so you can see it all lit up. Love the lanterns and the cute little candle in the middle of the ta

We arrived 3 hours before closing time and the staff told us that their "waiting list" was closed, there was literally no one in line. Very unprofessional, even after I spoke the the manager she said "maybe next time think about arrivi
It's good food! The quality is kind of like an upscaled
It's good food! The quality is kind of like an upscaled Panda Express (mid-quality Chinese food) but you can't beat the price. We did family style 4-5 dishes split amongst 5 people and it came out to like $10 a person. Ambiance (especially at night)
Had went on family night with a date, the food was served
Had went on family night with a date, the food was served in big portions. The cucumber salad was a very healthy yet spicy alternative! The service was great, but the restaurant is a bit small so just be prepared to be in a close proximity with other
Not giving this place another chance SMHSalt and pepper
Not giving this place another chance SMHSalt and pepper shrimp- straight up gross af. Mushy with a thick crunch outer layer and zero flavor. Orange chicken is ten times better at panda.. it was that bad. Overcooked and half sauced Beef in fried rice
The food is good (not great) and the service and ambience
The food is good (not great) and the service and ambience was great, but's it's not worth a 1-2 hour wait.
A must try Chinese restaurant for anyone who love Chinese
A must try Chinese restaurant for anyone who love Chinese cuisine. First, I want to share about their ambiance. The ceiling is decorated with vines and red lanterns, giving you a warming and foreign feeling, like you actually travel to China. On the

We were in the neighborhood because I'd always wanted to go to Whiskers and Wine (but they were unexpectedly closed for the weekend! boooo!) and one of the antique store workers recommended Fortunate Son if a line wasn't out the door. We loved the am
This place deserves a million stars.
The food and this restaurant is seriously some of the best in San Diego. I have lived her my whole life and still dream about this place. This is my fourth time eating inside and I'm blown away! The servers are incredible and give you their honest op
How UNFORTUNATE it was eating at FORTUNATE SON.
The highlights: 2 hour and 10 minute wait to get in25 minute wait inside to get water and put in a drink orderFood took another 20 - 30 minutes to arrive after orderingFood was atrocious - the most horrible, awful food EVERFood was all frozen, heated
Great atmosphere this place is very instagramable.
Food is okay, not the worst but not the greatest either. It's very salty for some reason especially the egg drop soup and the fried rice which is what I ordered. Ginger lemonade was too gingery as well. Overall decent place but the menu could use an

I came in with my boyfriend for our 2 year anniversary and our server Justin was AMAZING. We had to wait an hour and a half for a table which isn't too bad since last time went, they closed the waitlist. He gave us a run down of the menu and some of

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Fortunate Son Chinese San Diego at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Fortunate Son Chinese San Diego page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FulfilledThread16, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FulfilledThread16 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FulfilledThread16 for any questions Peter may have as FulfilledThread16 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FulfilledThread16 now uses their connections at Fortunate Son Chinese San Diego to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FulfilledThread16 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FulfilledThread16 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FulfilledThread16's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Fortunate Son Chinese San Diego!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
