Grand Fortune Chinese Restaurant

This review is for only dim sum

Chicken feet came with only 2 per serving, color was a bit off but flavor was alright 2.5/5.
Steamed bbq bun was very off putting, which she claimed was baking powder but it tasted more like spoiled milk. 0/5
The service was good as they offered to swap it out with the baked bbq pork bun which was much much better than the steamed. 3/5
We had steamed rice rolls with shrimp and the texture of the batter was not smooth and bubbly and the oil they used for it left a very unpleasant smell. 1/5
The shrimp dumpling also had a lumpy textured dough which was again unpleasant but the shrimp was good 2/5
The shu mai was dry but the flavor was overall decent. 2/5
The item I enjoyed most was the sticky rice in lotus leaves as it's pretty difficult to mess up sticky rice but it seems like they use old pork as a filling as it was extremely dry and tough.

I knew this was not going to be top notch food but had pretty low expectations to begin with since we are in omaha but this fell far below anything I have ever had before.

I will unfortunately not be returning and would recommend frozen items if you do have a dim sum craving like I did.

I recently came and tried Dim Sum at Grand Fortune, and overall felt that this restaurant was ok. I will say that I have higher standards and expectations for Chinese food when because I am Chinese and have eaten Chinese food my whole life.

Food: 3/5. Of the food that I tried, the two items that stood out to me were the pan fried turnip cakes and shrimp rice noodle roll. These were so flavorful and they were just as good if not better than other dim sum places that I have been to. All of the other food including fried shrimp ball, shrimp dumpling, bean curd pork roll, sweet rice flour ball, chicken feet in black bean sauce, and sticky rice in lotus leaf were ok. I thought that they overall lacked in much flavor that I normally taste at dim sum places. I found myself constantly adding chili sauce to these dishes to add flavor.

Service 4/5: the service was pretty good. Each dish came out as they were made, and it overall didn't take a super long time.

Ambiance 3/5: nothing particularly special about the inside, but nothing bad either! It is pretty big and spacious and can seat a lot.

I only came this time to try the dim sum and while I would probably not come back for the dim sum, I may come back to give items on the "traditional Chinese food" menu a try.

When I get an urge for Chinese cuisine, I call Grand Fortune. I cannot even count how many times I have gotten take out from Grand Fortune, and every time I do the quality, consistency and flavors are right on point. One of my favorites is the Lemon Chicken, but I often choose the General Tso or Sesame Chicken as well.

They are fast, friendly and reasonably priced .... you get a lot of great tasting food for your money.

We have been here since 2014. Not many things changed. I do like the quiet and peaceful atmosphere, servers are quite laid back. They serve a very bold and flavorful the chicken feet and ear pigs. It would be perfect match if they serve with rice as the side dish.

Must try the Chinese broccoli and spice ear pig
Stay away from the BBQ steamy pastry, the flour wrapper taste sweet and very rich full in the outer but completely dry like eating a cheesy cardboard

Three stars because food was very salty and crab Rangoon had almost no filling! Good veggies in my triple delight meal and beef was good but shrimp were way overdone! Hoping to try dim sum next time. Maybe better? Everyone deserves a second chance

Ordered ahead online for pickup. I got there at the designated pickup time and waited over 20 minutes with no explanation or update on when my food would be ready. When I got home only one of the two dishes was what I ordered. Would not recommend.

I am not happy about lowering Grand Fortune's rating but when you sit inside the restaurant that is only 4 tables filled and wait 75 minutes for your food on a New Year's eve, people need to know. It was also the people who ordered take-out who expressed disappointment about the lengthy wait time for an order that usually takes 25 minutes and over half the tables are filled. The server kept apologizing for the ridiculous wait time and what lessened the sting was the food quality was still very good. I will take a break from this place and hopefully service will improve by the time I decide to give them my business again.

I can only comment on the dim sum, but it is very good stuff. We came for dinner on Friday night and we were the first customers for dinner. Several couples and families arrived, during our stay, but it was generally not busy, though they had several come in for take out. Which is too bad, because their dim sum is really good.

We order 8 different plates and ending up spending about $30. The most expensive thing was the roasted duck, which was so flavorful and cooked really well, so it wasn't chewy or too tough. The skin was crisp, which really highlights the dish. Next time, we will probably just order half a duck. Anyway, the other dim sum options were great, with the bee's nest and sesame ball (which is filled with egg custard, not red bean paste) were our favorites. The Lotus rice was solid, as were the pork and shrimp shu mai's. Altogether, the food was made fresh and tasted great, if a little salty. I definitely would like a side of white rice next time, but that's just me. Our kids ate it up and enjoyed being able to taste so many different things.

This is our go to dim sum place in Omaha, and we love it.

So happy I found a pretty good dim sum place in Omaha. The dim sum menu has just about everything on it that you could want, and the prices are fairly reasonable compared to places in California.

We had about a dozen items from the dim sum menu, and they were all pretty good. The items that were the best, in English, were the baked egg custard bun, the bbq pork buns (baked and steamed), the spare ribs in black bean sauce, the egg custard tarts, and the pan-fried turnip cakes. However, the steamed bbq pork buns were steamed a bit too long and the bottoms were soggy.

On the other hand, the siu mai (pork and shrimp dumplings) were odd tasting, and the sticky rice was a little too bland. Also, there were only two people working the front at different times and the service was extremely slow. We sat for a long time before we were even given a menu, and long again before our order was taken.

All in all, it was a good experience and worth the wait, and I recommend checking this place out for dim sum.

Having had dim sum in NYC numerous times, I was a bit skeptical of the Omaha dim sum scene. Yes, they don't come around with carts, but the food and prices are all around solid.
