FORTUNE SEAFOOD
Hidden Gem | Authentic Chinese Cuisine in Las vegas | Located in the heart of Chinatown
Fortune Seafood is where locals go for, hands down, some of the BEST Chinese food in Las Vegas. When we visited, it was evident that it’s no secret to local Chinese guests how great the food is at Fortune. It is, however, a hidden gem to many other locals. Fortune boasts an extensive, authentic array of Chinese food from various provinces of China. With the highest quality ingredients, Fortune makes the perfect locals’ destination for the best Chinese cuisine. Some locals are saying that some of their other past favorite dim sum restaurants’ quality has been plummeting, but they are raving about the top-notch quality dim sum they find at Fortune! From the moment you enter and are greeted by their attentive and kind wait staff, you will notice the hanging roasted duck that’s being prepared in the kitchen.
With a Chef who’s spent 45+ years in the kitchen and in Hong Kong, they know what real and authentic Chinese cuisine consists of. From their Manapua meat-filled buns that are so pillowy soft with incredible flavor, to their hotpots, the delectable roasted duck and BBQ pork, the live seafood, their dim sum and all their other main dishes all the way to some of the best desserts you’ve ever experienced in a Chinese restaurant, Fortune Seafood restaurant truly is a must! This is also a great place for family-style seating and simply downright delicious Chinese cuisine.
This is not the Chinese food you ate as a kid; this is the real deal Chinese cuisine they eat in China, but they did not leave out what we love on the West Coast for Chinese food. The classic trying to burn off a hangover with dim sum or impress a date with an authentic duck or dish so big, they get covered. Including some of our favorite Americanized Chinese food like fried rice.
The place is big. You will notice when you walk in, look straight ahead and you will likely see a chef preparing duck and when you look to your left, you will see a super clean modern dining room in crisp white and on the wall, they have big fish tanks with crabs, lobsters, and fish. It’s cool to see. On the right, you will notice a lot of darker colors and low-lit kind of lighting. Both sides have a vibe. Side note: if you have big parties, they have awesome private VIP rooms with huge family-style tables. Getting back to their delectable fare, some is what you might consider a modern interpretation of authentic Chinese cuisine, using the finest ingredients and expert techniques to create timeless yet innovative dishes. Speaking to the authenticity of the Chinese food, it’s at par or above anything the Strip or Chinatown has to offer. Most of us go to the finest Chinese-ish establishments that originated in far-flung corporate places, and it’s missing the soul and history of the food when it’s all prepared in-house from the first grain of spice to a ridiculously delicious meal that makes you feel like you are in China.
