Review from T P.
Kanata, ON

We've only ever had take out from this restaurant after a work colleague recommended that this was a good place to try in Kanata. Although we have not tried a lot of different items on the menu, what we did have was tasty and flavourful. We've had a hard time to find good Chinese food in Kanata/Ottawa, and this, in my opinion, was pretty darn good. The portion sizes were OK (whatever happened to those big containers you'd get from takeout? Why is an order of rice in a cup? In BC, we would get a huge tin of fried rice for about the same price). Anyways, in summation, we will try Fortune Express again and maybe try some other menu items.

We came by for a Chinese New Year lunch and checked out their menus. They have a daily dim sum menu but not all the items are available at lunch. They also have their regular menu that you can order from. We decided to order a plate of noodles and get some dim sum.
- Shanghai noodles were ok
- Har gar was gross. My shrimp tasted like it was in the freezer to long and the skin was not nice
- Pork dumplings, I've had better
- BBQ duck was terrible. Barely any meat, not roasted well.
- Fried tofu was ok, the tofu tasted fresh
- Sticky rice, I've had better
- Pan fried turnip cake was a small portion but wasn't fried well and tasted weird...so I added lots of hot sauce. -

I'm no expert in dim sum so take the review with a grain of salt.
As you walk into this restaurant you notice that it is quite dark. The bright sun light from the outside makes the inside look even darker. The décor is decent and the restaurant is spacious. It wasn't very busy on a saturday afternoon.
The service was sub-par, the waiters seemed like they were in a super hurry and some had trouble explaining what the food items were. As it was my first time at a dim sum place, I would have liked some help choosing the items. Even though the place was not busy I had to ask twice for water. However I should mention the food carts came around pretty fast.
I was not impressed with the food at all; I'm not familiar with the cuisine so maybe that's the issue. Essentially I found the food to be bland, the crispy dishes were too oily and the steamed/boiled dishes were too soggy. -

Great Chinese food. Great Dim Sum but only available on weekends.
