Some dinners just call for comfortable and familiar surroundings and for my husband and I that means Great Fortune Chinese Restaurant.  We can count on them to be open (be sure to notice their winter hours) and we can count on them welcoming us as though we are family.  This night was no exception.  Great Fortune is located in the Chesapeake Commons Shopping Center on North Main Street.   I can’t remember them not being there in all our years in the area.  They always seem to have a respectable crowd and the atmosphere is upbeat and lively. 

I think over the years we’ve tried everything on their dinner menu and have never had a disappointing meal.  The staff is attentive, but not overbearing, and they always have good menu suggestions.  This night we started with the Crispy Scallion Pancake to share.  My husband chose the House Special Pan Fried Noodles and, you know me, I had to have the Shrimp and Scallions (Hunan style).  Both meals were served piping hot and delicious.  The portions are large; so we always leave with food for our K9.

I think of Chinese food as one of America’s comfort foods and this restaurant really fit the bill on a blistery March night.   If your evening calls for good service, consistently good food, and probably running into a neighbor and/or friends, we recommend you give this fun little jewel a try. 

Bon Appétit
