Fortune House in North Norfolk

Have used this chinese couple of times when we been on holiday on a boat, found the meals very delisious and cheap. we will definitely be coming back.

Disgusting, they claim they are Maysum chinese but just moved shops, I think this info is false and they are trying to claim Maysums customers. There is no way this food is Maysums Lool EARN your OWN reputation! Sweet an sour sauce is like jelly folks aswell just to make you aware.

Only Chinese open, so was becoming busy. Food was not long coming, but when we got home less than 5 minutes!!...Food luke warm, bland, and missing spring rolls, Would not recommend & never return!!,,,,Avoid if you do not want to be disappointed

I decided to order a quarter duck and some chips. I ended up just eating the chips because the duck was hard and was disgusting. The picture attached speaks for itself. Never eating from here again!

This is a takeaway only now. Food is very good and competitively priced. The duck starter is excellent. Food is hot and tasty and portions are good.

Awful. Hair in food. The food looked completely bland and the Chicken chow mien had no flavour and was literally boiled chicken in plain noodles. Rice was suspicious. No flavour in the crispy chilly beef. Despite being hungry, all 4 of us left the food. Avoid it and save your money.

Reliably good take-away at very reasonable prices. Friendly owner. Wide selection to choose from. Never been disappointed. Way better than other local alternatives

Without doubt the best Chinese takeaway in stalham, consistently good food. Friendly staff. Only disappointment is that they no longer have the eat in all you can eat option. That said it is the only one of three takeaways in Stalham that I will use.

Where to start. Food cooked fresh and well. But one problem...no flavour. Chicken chow mien, noodles and chicken boiled and not then stir fried in any flavouring. Chicken balls nice boy sauce bland. Crispy beef done well but bland sauce. Special fried rice with no flavouring. Spring rolls with lovely outside but just a slice of boiled chicken with a slice of carrot inside. Mussels in blac bean sauce.....SUPERB, oodles of flavour, perfectly cooked, lots of them and cheap! If you Ike bland food, you will love this place.

A revamped menu and everything I try is lovely and tasty ! Two meals with a couple of sides and it’s half the price of other local Chinese takeaways! Chips a pound, curry sauce a pound!! Excellent taste and value!

My fav place for Chinese take away.owner orig from Vietnam and he know how to coock eastern Asian food. Espacialy his smile make me Happy.i m recommends this place.

We stayed in Sea Palling and drove here for a take away. It was one of the nicest we've had in ages. It was SO tasty. I would recommend phoning your order through though as you might have to wait about half an hour as they were busy when we walked in. It was definitely worth the wait though and it was still piping hot by the time we drove back.

We used to go here a few years ago and eat at the restaurant when it specialized in Vietnamese dishes and was very good and authentic. Having recently moved to the area we thought we would try the takeaway as it is no longer a restaurant. Unfortunately it was plain awful. I ordered amongst other things Vietnamese chilli beef but I am afraid it was very plain and consisted of mostly over cooked onions and beef in a bland very under spiced gloopy sauce. The crab and sweet corn soup was bland and watery that tasted mainly of crab but without much crab meat in it and surprisingly even less sweet corn. The king prawn chow mein - prawns good but noodles over cooked and slimy and under spiced overall. Vegetable spring rolls - difficult to trace the vegetables. Pork satay - a lot of onions in a slimy under spiced sauce that was difficult to taste the peanuts that are normally an ingredient. Trying to be positive it has to said that portion size was very good for all dishes. The rice was tasty and well cooked. There was plenty of meat (shame about the quality though). Prawn crackers were OK. Oh and the man on the order desk was very polite and helpful and the meal was ready when he said. A sad day as the food several years ago was excellent.

Phoned an order through for collection, had a while to wait but was informed of this on placing the order. Second time ordering at Fortune House and both times have had excellent food.

Take away didn't see any tables, dark, uninviting. Ordered ribs, chow main, duck and sweet n sour prawn balls. Won't be going back..whole lot went in the bin and when I order ribs I expect to get some meat and not just bones covered in cold,jellified sauce. Only plus was the young man taking the order, very pleasant

Staying locally at Ludham and really fancied a Chinese. On checking out Trip Advisor, we headed to Stalham to be greeted by 3 Chinese takeaways in a row. Unfortunately, we couldn't remember and now had no 3G to check which was the best! So, tried stopping folk on the street, none were local so we plumped for this one. Very nice chap taking orders, advised us it would be 35 mins. We ordered a good number of dishes and were pleasantly surprised it only came to £24! At home, it would have been £35++ for sure. Food arrived as promised and we were very impressed with the quality and the amount! It was all first class and really excellent value for money! If we lived here, it would most certainly be our Chinese of choice!

This used to be a restaurant as well as a takeaway and I loved going to eat in here. The décor isn't great and could be cleaned up a little too but the food is lovely, especially the thai curry, salt and pepper squid and garlic chicken.

We think this is the best for miles around. Ring up and it's ready quickly. Large portions, tasty, great value

Fue la peor comida que nunca, corriendo en grasa, muy salada lo tiró en la papelera el mejor lugar para ello. No comer comida para llevar desde aquí! ! ! !

Siempre frescas y nunca tienes que esperar mucho tiempo para el servicio, buena relación calidad-precio si llamas antes de mano es incluso mejor

100% El mejor chino en la ciudad! Buena relación calidad-precio y tienes tanta comida! Lo echo de menos como un todo, se puede comer en un restaurante, y el lugar se podría actualizar un poco y una minuciosa limpieza profunda, pero nunca he tenido ningún problema. Los propietarios y el personal son encantadores!

Visited this Chinese takeaway after looking on trip advisor whilst we were on a break away. Came up as #9 of 14 takeaways in the area. The food is pretty bad. The 1/4 duck was very fatty and the cucumber it came with was dry. The chicken chowmein was just noodles and chicken it had just flavour at all. The "crispy" shredded beef in chilli was neither crispy or spicy. Over all one of the worst Chinese takeaways I've had in a very long time and I wouldn't recommend this to anyone!

Consistently good food at a very reasonable price. Ooopppss...Your review must be at least 100 characters long. Adding details really helps travellers. OK.. here we go againConsistently good food at a very reasonable price.

Visited here for take away, it's average cost of what you expect to pay for Chinese food. Food was good quality and service was fine

Had spring rolls and prawn toast starter, and sweet and sour Cantonese king prawn and duck in orange sauce for mains. Came with free prawn crackers and it was all excellent. Best Chinese meal I've had for a long time.

We have had a couple of takeaways from here now and both have been cooked fresh and been very nice. Prices are quite cheap and would fool some people into thinking it will not be all that good but it is really good. We had family round an fed 7 people for 20 pound. You really can't go wrong ordering from here. Highly recommended

Gorgeous food as always! The best Chinese Takeaway in town :-) Delivery service now too! Awesome! :-)

Food is always fresh and cooked to perfection. Fast delivery service and takeaway too. Interior is basic but friendly.

The food is very tasty and I was satisfied with my takeaway. However I wouldnt recommend eating in. The place is very run down looking and needs a bloomin' good clean and a coat of paint. Yes eating in has its perks that you can take your bottle of wine in for a corkage charge. TBH I'd rather pay a little extra to sit in a clean place and skip the alcohol! Wouldn't recommend but would grab a takeaway possibly.

good food great low prices one the best in stalham in norfolk very fast service too the food was hot and served up quicking allways good low prices the stuff are very helpfull nothing is too much

No longer do a sit down service. Take away very plentiful and reasonably priced. Good variety on menu

Thoroughly enjoyed a takeaway from the Fortune House, it is extremely good value and we would really recommend the beef with garlic chilli and seaweed it was excellent!

Had a take away last night and found the service and food very good. Particularly liked the mussels in ginger.

The food was so good that we returned for a second time. The staff are very jolly, friendly and polite. Excellent value for money and a good range on the menu.We definitely recommend this little takeaway. Very good portions.

This is in my opinion the best Chinese in Stalham ,great food and good value spend £10 get prawn crackers free , spend £15 get two spring rolls free

The decor has improved slightly(paper table cloths), owner still does not smile a lot. However the food is excellent as usual. The Pancake Rolls are the best for miles. I hope they continue for many years to come.

If you are looking to dine with a difference then this is the place for you, make you to have your best glad rags on though. The restaurant lay out is great for people watching but be sure to book a table in advance in case there are ever multiple parties in there at once that fill up the vacant tables. The waitress was very sweet and friendly, can't fault her good service and nice nature, she even let us put our alcohol in the kitchen fridge because they don't have an alcohol licence. The long black oriental hair in the noodles added a twist of fun to the occasion and certainly gave us some evening entertainment. A take out good enough to for take me out. No likey, no lighty.

All you can eat for £12 per head normally means cheap help yourself food that has been sitting around for a while, NOT here each dish is prepared for you by a very happy smiling chef owner and served by a polite and helpful young lady. You order as you go and each dish was good the duck as mentioned exceptional and the two beef dishes outstanding. Oh and by the way the ribs and chicken balls were some of the best we have had. Take all of this coupled with the fact that you can take you own drink a fab night out. As some have said the environment is a little 'local' much like eating in a real chinese street food cafe in hong kong I would say - but he is in the process of redecorating. We paid as much per head as a posh place would charge for a single main course and we had a great time with great friends. PS try the deep fried bananas a small price extra but with icecream if you have room ymmmmy

We enjoyed the food. It wasn't the best chinese I ever had but it definitely was good. It's always a good sign when the locals come in for their take away - especially if there is another one right next door... The value was good to. All you can eat for £12 including Duck but excluding desserts and drinks. But the decor really lets it down. I had read about this here on other reviews but didn't quite realise how bad it was. And it does really make a difference to the dining experience. The "restaurant" is basically a take away with some greasy spoon type tables and chairs thrown in. All in all good food but take away would probably be better as you can eat in comfort!

Went last thursday it the most people i have seen eating 4 ONCE We had the £12 deal eat as much as U want go 4 IT He does a great duck all the food comes up hot just try dish after dish u will enjoy them ALL as others say its 1 downfall DECOR very dated and 2 make the GUV smile u should get a FREE meal give it a go KIM & BERNIE KENT

Great food and cheap, in a very unlikely setting. Don't discount the place by it's decor, or its very solemn owner. Will willing provide glasses for the wine or beer that you take with you, as he does not hold a license to sell alcohol. Small corkage charge, but he does sell soft drinks if you prefer. Would recommend this place for the great food and strange experience.

We tried this restaurant for the first time on 18th Jan. 2014, having read the other reviews here. Consequently there was no disappointment about the decor. In fact, the fresh pale blue painted with white woodwork in this old (Georgian?) room was better than I'd anticipated. The food was very good indeed. I would characterise it as excellent 'home-cooking', by which I mean that it did not have the finesse in terms of presentation as a trained chef might utilise but it was nicely presented all the same. It was very fresh. The fried squid starter was delicious and prettily served with a tasty garnish of garlic, fresh chill and spring onion. All the other dishes we tried were either good or excellent. The service by a charming young woman was very attentive too. The whole experience was authentic. I have eaten in similar restaurants in Vietnam, where the quality of food is very high but the decor poor by Western standards. I imagine that it is the same in much of China. We will definitely go back!

If lavish décor is a must for your enjoyment, then Fortune House is not for you. Don't go there and then slag it off on Trip Advisor. It's easy to see from the street that it is not the Ritz. That said, if you are hungry, on a dark December night, and the other hostelries in Stalham are closed, do venture in, and you will enjoy a feast for very little money.Our party consisted of four adults, a six year old and a two year old toddler for whom a clean highchair was swiftly provided. We chose an array of dishes including duck, beef and prawns. These did not seem to be prepared to a formula, but each had an individual flavour, nuanced and delicious. We had not gone for the all you can eat menu but the table was covered with dishes, also including noodles, prawn crackers, pancakes and rice. We were completely stuffed at the end of the meal, and all for about thirty seven pounds. Amazing value!

We love coming here. Great food always have the all you can eat (you must try the duck as a starter) We take the children as they are always welcome and enjoy the food as much as we do, or go for date night and have taken friends. Would highly recommend, not much to look at but lovely food and that's what you go for at the end of the day.

Yes the restaurant is a bit small, but the service and food was great - £40 between three of us, they also let us take away what we couldn't eat.

This little Chinese restaurant has a few tables inside so that they can serve you a sit down meal. No license, but you can bring your own (there is a supermarket down the street). The food was very good standard, better than in many takeaways. No MSG was used as far as I could tell, which is a pleasant change. We didn't expect it to be "smart" and it wasn't, but it was nice food, prepared quickly at a good price.

The takeaway next door was bright and had people in but no seating. So chose here, got inside one table loads cans from another party who had gone, signs on walls dreadful cheap table clothes, little elderly chinese man there, discovered no liquor license told go down st we did but shut. Then found didnt take credit cards. Decided to take away I had king prawn curry. It was like glue sickly threw it away. Shame as i feel soory for the elderly couple maybe trying to save to get back to Hong kong, if they are dont hold your breath

Worst Chinese I have eaten . Ended up putting food in my bag and binning it once outside . The ' waiter ' continually coughed and cleared his nasal passages . One look inside and instinct will tell you not to eat here .

Went here with couple of mates,was fantastic,we all went for the ,all you can eat for £12,so many choices,food all cooked fresh as you order,they have no drinks licence so you take your own,don't be put off the fact it looks like a transport cafe,the food and service certainly make up for that,already planning our next visit,

we use this restaurant frequently and normally have the all you can eat for £12 option.The food is freshly cooked and arrives piping hot,unlike many other Chinese restaurants we have visited.There is no drinks licence but you are able to bring your own and glasses are provided for a corkage fee of £1. The decor is poor and from outside it looks uninviting but dont be put off by this as the food is top class. We have used many Chinese restaurants throughout the country over many years and this is one of,if not, the best.

I have eaten at this restaurant a number of times over the past few years. It's a Bring Your Own alcohol restaurant...which makes it a good alue meal out ...... they just charge a small fee as corkage.. they sell soft drinks (coke, 7up). The decor is very basic.. plastic table cloths and just one 'waitress' who takes your order.BUT the food is EXCELLENT! They do an all you can eat for £12.50 per person and this food is all cooked to order from the menu, not kept warm under a Bain Marie. It truly is some of the best Chinese food I have eaten and I highly recommend it.
