"House of Fortune is one of those local gems where the usual Chinese food dishes are inoffensive and just like other local restaurants, but the house specials are a step above and what you should focus on! After eating here at least once a month for the last couple of years, here are the stand-out dishes: The flaming wok basil chicken is so flavorful between the velveted, grilled chicken (or shrimp, as I sometimes upcharge to), the spices, and the Thai basil! This stir fry is my go-to when I want something that will be great everytime. Thai fried rice is like your usual house special fried rice, containing at least three kinds of meats (I believe it's four in this case: chicken, beef, pork, and shrimp), with the addition of Thai spices and a little something else in the cooking sauces...I assume its fish sauce, since there's a lot more umami/savoryness compared to most fried rices. Be forewarned that there's still a decent bit of oil, if that's a turn off for you. Regardless of that, it's the best fried rice I've had in the area. I tried orange chicken the other day just to see what a more Americanized dish was like, and holy moly it's the best orange chicken I've ever had...although I don't order it often, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Regardless, the sauce actually had strong citrus notes, and the spice of the chiles really came through! The dried orange slices were a nice touch as well."
