It was 9 months ago that we last visited Fortune Cookie Restaurant in Lowestoft but we were greeted as friends by the owner, Jim, when we went last Saturday. The buffet is no longer available but there is an excellent choice of starters and mains, plus drinks and we thoroughly enjoyed every dish including the complimentary prawn crackers.There is free parking in Mill Road at the side (as Fortune Cookie opens at 6.30 p.m. Tuesday to Sunday when the parking restrictions don't apply) and more than one visit here is on our agenda whenever we are in the area!Thank you Jim and family.

The appearance of this place may put you off. Not dirty or anything, just lacking in atmosphere. Forget that, as the food is very nice. The owner is a really friendly man and I think it is a little family business. I had Kung Po Prawns - tasty. The prices are incredibly reasonable and I almost thought too cheap to be any good. Enjoy.

So glad i booked a table. By 7.30 it was full. (Tuesday nite) a warm welcome. Prawn crackers on arrival. Lovely and fresh. My partner had the hot and sour soup. We both had a pancake roll each to start. The siup was tasty. As was the pancake rolls. Nicely filled. Light and crispy. Not at all fatty. I chose king prawn balls with a sweet and sour sauce. Lovely light crispy batter and cooked to perfection. The special fried rice was equally as good. My partner had crispy chili beef and Singapore noodles. We shared some seaweed. Everything was tasty and well presented and arrived hot. Full credit to the lady cooking mostly on her own. 22 covers. We enjoyed drinks with the meal. Great value. The food is cooked fresh so you may have to wait but it is worth it.Lovely to see the place busy.This was our first visit since before lockdown....definitely will be back again. Thankyou. Keep safe.

This place lived up to the other reviews on here. Excellent service - food was delivered quickly, big portions (especially the starters), good quality tasty food and the food and drinks were all VERY reasonably priced. We had the set meal for two, a couple of beers and two ice creams and it came to less than £30. Cannot recommend this place highy enough. - a must try if you are within reach of Lowestoft.

We read the reviews on trip advisor and booked. When we arrived the restaurant was empty and we seriously considered going somewhere else as an empty restaurant on a Friday night is not a good sign in my opinion. But we decided to risk it and were really glad we did. The owner was such a lovely man with a great sense of humour who made us really welcome. The food was great value, two of us ate and drank all we wanted and spent £32. We ordered the set menu and added duck pancakes. The owner was happy to swop out one of the dishes we weren't keen on. The food was all tasty and the ribs were delicious.

It had been a year or more since we last ate at The Fortune Cookie, Lowestoft but it was as good as every other time so we were not disappointed.Jim remembered us ( last year we ate there every night as we were in the area) and even offered us our usual seats. Despite all the lockdown rules, as this is quite spacious, we didn't feel cramped as there is plenty of room between the tables.From a book on the history of the area, it seems that this used to be a Hall of some sort which explains the high ceilings and the outside is really quite impressive once you appreciate this. The fact that it is in a Conservation area means that no alterations can be made - although somewhere in the past someone granted permission to build a KFC complete with drive though on the opposite side of London Road South and an enormous (for the district) car showroom on the opposite corner of Mill Road - perhaps they had a memory lapse?Enough of that, Jim was as friendly and entertaining as we remembered and his wife Connie produces amazing meals and they are only too happy to alter anything to suit a particular taste - but they do need extra notice for certain allergies so check.We shared starters and, as we went four times last week, we tried quite a few and they were all delicious. I particularly enjoyed the dry ribs and spicy salt prawns and my husband the satay prawns and vegetarian spring rolls. Our main courses too were exceptional - King prawn with mixed vegetables; Chinese prawn curry; King prawn with ginger and spring onion; Kingdo Chicken and whichever dish we ordered we just loved and Jim was happy to spice up the curry to suit my husband's taste.You really need to go in and eat here to understand how and why it gets such good reviews - we had driven 200 miles because I wanted to eat here on my birthday and, as we were staying in the area for four nights, we ate here every night and would have gone again if time had permitted. Even on a quiet night, Jim's enthusiasm makes the evening special.Thank you Jim for being such a welcoming and happy host. We look forward to eating the best Chinese food on our next visit to Suffolk. Stay safe.

We were talking to the owner and a great chat with the owner which was nice, the service was amazing the food was good, tasted lovely and Jim the owner was checking to make sure that we where ok and asked are u enjoying the food and Jim was always smiling . This restrant has been open for 19 years and it started in 2001. They do buffet for a good price. we will be going back in the future well done Jim for the fantastic food and service, thanks a lot, would recommend to everyone.

been here twice now both times food was very good ...both times had the set buffet menu two for £25..too much for two ...it's good that you finish one course then the other arrives ...second time I went six of us for work Xmas do they catered for veggie buffet (substitute chicken ect) variety of people with different tastes some like seafood others don't. But everybody had something they like ..only down side instead of putting mains on three plates for two people to share they put it on one plate and this plate kept sliding backwards and forwards....if you visit in a group tell the man to serve food one plate for two.....SO MUCH Easier.....would definitely go again!!

Visited Fortune Cookie for the first time as a family (4 adults and 2 children). The restaurant is family run with fantastic customer service and engaging with the kids. We opted for the buffet menu and were informed each dish is prepared freshly and delivered to the table. All starter arrived on the table with the duck and pancakes. All were amazing and tasted fantastic. Next the mains which were just as good the popo chicken and pineapple chicken were great. Finally desserts the toffee pineapple was perfect! We could have asked for more at each course put there was plenty on the plate. All in all great value for money with no over priced drink usually associated with a buffet. Would definately recommend and will be visiting again.

On pre-Xmas visits to Lowestoft we must have walked by the Fortune Cookie dozens of times over the past few years and not given it a second glance. During our latest visit (last December) we decided to give the place a try and we're so glad we did. Our first impression was one of pleasant surprise at the welcoming ambience of the restaurant in general. Our 'host' and owner - "Jim" - couldn't have been more helpful, friendly and witty to the point of almost being a cabaret act in himself! We were served a variety of equally delicious dishes in plentiful quantities and all-in-all came away feeling that we had enjoyed a really good evening out. Two nights later we returned with two other guests and by the end of the evening their verdict was the same as ours - the Fortune Cookie would be a difficult act to follow. We tried to persuade Jim to give up the Fortune Cookie and set up a restaurant in our home town but to no avail. So it looks like we will just have to put up with going to see him during our future trips to Lowestoft.

Lovely food served by a very funny owner. I had phoned and booked a table the day before but on arrival realised the restaurant is normally closed on a Monday. There was no-one else in the building so we had the place to ourselves! The owner said "I may get some takeaway orders but all my regular customers think I'm closed" my wife and I chose the all u can eat menu and started off with duck and the food kept coming! All cooked fresh and served by the hilarious owner. We will eat here again if in the area

We went for the main menu & choose our favorite dishes, the food was to a high standard, the only gripe was that there was a lack of food warmers so the food did tend to go cold quickly.

The first impressions of fortune cookie from the outside let it down a little. Letters missing from the sign and looking thru the window it looks empty due to the tables being near the back. But on entering we were greeted by a very smiley gentleman who made us feel very welcome. He informed is that we could order from the menu or go for the all you can eat for £11.95! So obviously we went for that.They bring a range of dishes to the table starting with duck pancake rolls, prawn toast seaweed more followed by rice, noodles and mains such as sweat and sour chicken and king prawns. Overall with a bottle of nice wine the meal cost us £30 and the food was lovely backed up by very good service. Would definitely recommend.

The Gentleman Who Runs This Restaurant Is Warm, Welcoming And Friendly, The Meal Is A Three Course All You Can Eat Set Chinese Menu. It Is A Family Run Restaurant. Nothing Is Too Much Trouble For The Owner. My Children Know This Is My Preferred Place To Eat As A Treat

Food cooked to order or buffet style. We prefer it being cooked to order. Lovely staff, we will be back.

Visited this restaurant during a short break to Lowestoft with my partner, after viewing Chinese Buffets on Trip Advisor in the area. When arriving at the restaurant we found the road closed off to traffic and could only be approached by pedestrians. This was a Friday evening around 8.30pm and we were the only people in there, which we found strange for a buffet priced at £9.95 per person. We ordered a bottle of red wine with our meal which we later found out was £7.95 (cheap as chips considering a restaurant). The food is cooked freshly as required and turned out to be one of the best tasting Chinese meals I've ever had. The owner/waiter was polite, friendly and very helpful. We left totally stuffed and satisfied all for £30 including the wine.Thumbs up!

We spotted the Fortune Cookie as it was near our guest house and, although not in a prime location or particularly pretty outside, had a five-star hygiene rating and offered a varied buffet at a modest fixed price. We were very pleased with our choice! The restaurant is smart and comfortable inside and the proprietor very friendly. We felt sorry for him as a road closure right outside had caused him a big loss of trade - we were one of only two couples eating at 7.30pm on a Saturday. The various buffet dishes (a great selection) came out all freshly cooked for us and were very tasty. The portions were just right; we went away very satisfied but knowing we could have had more if we had wanted it. We would happily eat there again if in the area.

We have eaten there several times. The owner is friendly and the food plentiful and good. It's mainly a buffet but you can order off the menu too. It should be busier then it often is. 9.95 each (including duck and pancakes etc). The house wine is under 10 pounds too and very drinkable!. Child friendly. My husband and I eat there with a bottle of wine it's under 30 pounds for a lovely relaxed evening.

My newest absolute favourite chinese in Lowestoft, the food was soooo delicious, piping hot, well cooked and not stodgy. The portions were huge, and I ordered regular and small on everything. The delivery was incredibly quick and the delivery guy was super polite and nice. I recommend this takeaway very highly.

We were staying just down the road, so was very convenient. The service was a bit chaotic ad the lady 'helping out' did not speak very good English. All the food was tasty and fresh, although the sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style was more like tiny little popcorn chicken with a very runny/weak sauce, but tasted OK. We would use again if nearby.

I live very close to Kirkley Cliff and pass by often. Although very popular when it was trading Gourmet's is now closed, even though there are still tables and chairs clearly visible through the window.
