Fortune Inn in Ryedale

We were staying at the White Swan hotel in Pickering for a few days. Having had dinner there on our first night, we decided to eat elsewhere on the next. We were passing the Fortune Inn when a couple emerged after their meal. We asked how they enjoyed the food. They were very pleased by their experience. On their recommendation, we decided to eat there. We had no regrets. The food was excellently cooked and served very quickly by friendly staff. The other customers seemed equally pleased by their experience. We were so happy that we returned the following evening! As previously, everything was excellent. When we are next in Pickering, where shall we eat? What do you think?

A well established Cantonese restaurant in Pickering Centre, opposite the popular NYMR railway station. Superb food and service, in a cosy setting. Friendly, attentive owner and staf, with a comprehensive menu. My companions agreed. I had hot & sour soup to start, followed by kung po char sui. Very tasty! Well kept John Smith's to drink. Sensibly priced fare. A good sized restaurant, ideal for groups as well as couples. My second visit.

We had the sharer dim sum starter then for main beef with cashew and a sizzling Cantonese fillet steak with a rice each. Then for dessert banana fritters. I have to say it was all excellent food and brilliant service. Thank you to the staff for lovely food and service!

We found the restaurant to be quite expensive, and the food was a little bland compared to our local takeaway. However, all the staff were very pleasant and helpful.

We bought them box to share. Which was 16£ Everything was lovely but tbem salt and pepper chicken were rock as hard. They cook it to much and i dont think it should be like that. We go some in malton and they were so nice. So its kinda ruined our food as we were excited to have it.

Cracking food! The atmosphere is a bit dated but the food is amazing. Our second visit to this restaurant. The duck with pancakes, the salt and pepper ribs and the sizzling dishes were all delicious. Washed down with a range of chilled beers. We will certainly be back.

Had a take away tonight. "Spicy Kung Po". Absolutely tasteless. Used to love this place when we were in the area. Has it changed hands?

Awful meal - the sweet and sour balls were inedible and the sauce was so processed. It was the worst Chinese meal I’ve ever had - could not eat it.

I had reserved a table for 7 of us on a busy Friday evening and on arrival our table was ready. Met by who I assumed was the woman owner who came across as a battle axe (!) but all the other staff were helpful, friendly and patient. Food was great with decent sized portions and reasonably priced, thoroughly enjoy my Singapore Chow Mein ‘extra spicy’ !! 🌶️ 🌶️ Despite the restaurant being busy and numerous takeaways going out we weren’t left waiting too long for our food. We all had a main course, 2 portions of prawn toast, complementary prawn crackers, 2 glasses wine, 1 beer and 4 soft drinks £109 which we thought was good value. Recommended, we will be back !! 👌🏼

Got a takeaway delivered told 30mins came in 15 and the food was absolutely delicious well done will definitelybe back

The food and service was amazing,I would definitely come back here and bring more of my family with me. I had the chicken and green peppers with black bean sauce. I recommend people to bring their friends and coke here. 😁😁😁👍

Visited mid Aug 24, was fairly busy (always good sign) did quiten down as got later into the evening. All 4 of us thought all the food was amazing, highly recommend the salt and chilli ribs. Great food and drink!

Recommended by the locals. Eat in or takeaway. Food was really nice, price was reasonable. Nice atmosphere. Can find free street parking nearby. We had takeaway so not sure if it's dog friendly.

We visited thornton Dale for a week and fancied a Chinese takeaway on a Tuesday night, so we looked around and found fortune Inn delivered, so I rang up, and the staff seemed friendly on the phone. The delivery took over an hour but the delivery driver got lost and he was very apologetic. The food was ok. it's definitely not the best chinese I have eaten

Whilst on holiday in North Yorks Moors we wanted to have a Chinese meal. We decided to go to a restaurant. Not many in the area. Chose this one. Doesn't look great in terms of appearance but serves really good food. Good prices, really quick service. Friendly staff. Would recommend. Give them a try. The only small negative, some in our party of 4 thought the portion sizea could have been a bit bigger.

The food was not to my liking at all

Lovely restaurant set close to the Pickering railway station. Really friendly with quick service. We had a chicken chow mein , sweet and sour chicken with chips and a chicken in black bean sauce with a bottle of rosé wine and a tonic water for £53. Cleared our plates as all were great. Popular with locals too which is always a good sign

Great food and great service. Seated straight away without booking a table.

Would like to thank all the staff. Had set meal for two changed a couple of things and came out full and satisfied. Very good value for money. All staff are very friendly and helpful. There's nothing too much trouble.

We've literally just left and wanted to share how lovely our meal and service was. The food was hot, fresh and delicious. Portion sizes, not a single complaint! Service was attentive and not intrusive. It was clean, smelt fresh, bathrooms very tidy.

Ordered two take aways on different nights same week.. one order was wrong unfortunately. But the food tasted good . Chicken was nice in the chow main. Pricey though

First and last visit here ordered half crispy aromatic duck which looked like it had been through a mincer not crispy not aromatic totally tasteless without hoisin sauce ..not a good experience in more ways than one ..the choice is yours ..seems the owner does not like criticism of the food and threatens to call the police told her not to offend me by saying thankyou

Beautiful food and piping hot for take out

Old school Chinese restaurant with extensive menu. Food was tasty, hot and great value for money. Staff were efficient and friendly. We went in a bit early so a bit lacking in atmosphere but it had started to fill up when we left and was starting to buzz. I'd happily return.

Very friendly staff couldnt fault them at all. sadly let down by the food. Chicken chow mein was bland, rubbery chicken weren't fried at all not a drop of soy sauce in sight. Egg fried rice was just boiled rice colored yellow, once again not a drop of soy sauce in sight. Salt and peppers box was just overload of salt. More salt in that box than actually in the north sea. It wasn't terrible..but I wouldn't come here again for food which is a shame given the fair pricing and friendliness of staff.

It was okay, probably won't return. Worst sweet and sour sauce I've ever tasted.

Their fried rice is merely boiled rice with yellow colouring!!!! Pork is chewy!! If you can’t be arsed just sell the place ?

Visited whilst staying in the area, food and staff were both amazing! Definitely be back in the future

Beat takeaway special curry and special rice I have ever had the pleasure of eating.....

We ate here on Good Friday, it was busy with a good atmosphere, the service was quick and the staff were all polite friendly staff. The menu is huge, the food was well presented, and delicious. There is a take out service too. If in the area I would definitely visit again. We can highly recommend eating here.

Called for an evening meal with my wife. Staff were very attentive, and happy to oblige. Very clean and tidy restaurant for possibly over 50 customers, but not crowded midweek. Food was out of this world, and will definitely go back when in the area.

Really good quality food and impeccable service from the friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Great food would definately go again, it was a spur of the moment decision to go. I had the chilli shredded beef and chips it was stunning and the portions were good.

In the middle of somewhere with very little choice of places to eat it is a welcome sight. Everything is as you would expect but nothing is stand out. Staff are friendly and there is a large menu. Parking is free on street if you're fortunate or there's a pay and display very close by

great service lovely food will return

We had a lovely meal here. It was very quiet in the restaurant but busy for takeout. Service was great, very pleasant staff. Food was served hot and was very tasty with good portion sizes.

Bit of a mixed bag this place The food is always good service average. Not badly priced However, there has been a few occasions where food has not turned up and I've had to Chase them. It's happened more than 3 times It's probably to be one of the best in the area though.

Lovely food and plenty of it. Service was friendly and quick

Really enjoyed our Chinese meal. Food was delicious very friendly staff. Would definitely go back

Love this place. We visit here everytime we are in pickering . Its our favourite. Its reasonably priced. Staff are lovely.

Great place, average price, great food. On street parking.

We booked a table to finish our day out in Pickering. On arrival, we were taken to our seat and asked which drinks we would like. We asked for Tiger bottles, they brought us it in glasses, it was flat. We ordered our food, on arrival of the starter, it was full of salt, that is all we could taste, not only on 1 starter but 2. On arrival of our main, Fillet Steak sizzling dish, the meat was un chewable and fatty, fillet steak should have no fat in it. It tasted dreadful. The sirloin steak we ordered was the same again, not what we ordered. The chicken was Grey! 🤢 We asked to speak to management regarding the poor quality food - the lady was really unprofessional! Shouting abuse, talking in her own language to another member of staff and even threatening to call the police. We agreed to paying half of what we did not eat as the woman was aggressive towards us. The food was appalling, the carpets were dirty and the toilet brushes were rusty & very dirty. We will not be back.

This food is disgraceful not even to mention the toilets we will not be returning, the steaks were horrendous tough not tender the chicken & prawns were grey if there was a no stars option for this restaurant that’s what I would put.

We had booked a short notice break in Pickering - everywhere was busy but we were accepted here with no booking . Staff were so friendly and the food was enjoyable, generous portions and reasonably priced .

This food is not edible! Fillet steak was fatty and unchewable, the sirloin was like a flat iron gone wrong, the prawns were anemic, The chicken was overly froze. The women when approached about all of the above was aggressive. We will never return. If I could leave no stars I would.

Worst Chinese food I have tasted,

Excellent food and very reasonable price for the amount we ordered. Would definitely recommend if in Pickering

Ok - unfortunately this was the only place we could get a table in Pickering on a Monday night during half term week. Food was average at best. Service was good. Staff were friendly.

Food is excellent as is the service The portions are a good size and always served hot and of good quality Always visit when we visit Pickering

Food was lovely. Service was fantastic. Definitely worth a visit

Lovely friendly staff. Food is excellent. Can't wait to go again. Very warm friendly atmosphere. Take away is also excellent and good value for money.

Very pleasant experience. I happened to be unfamiliar with the area and we managed to get a table at what is a well run establishment.

Really good find. Great little Chinese restaurant

Tasty take away. friendly helpful owner.

The food had no taste and very expensive

This is the best Chinese meal I have ever had! Fresh, beautifully cooked, tasty meal. Every member of staff was outstanding and provided fantastic service. Nothing was greasy. It was really well presented and worth going to. There is parking just around the corner. Wheelchair access is possible, although there is one small step to get into the restaurant. However, there may be additional access somewhere that has no steps. The menu is very good and the quality of food is outstanding! Table service is fantastic, and all members of staff are amazing. It was a wonderful experience in every way. Thank you 😊.

Decided to eat in as it was relatively quiet. Have to say that the service by the staff was excellent, on the ball, attentive, checking if we needed anything. The place itself needs an refresh, everything is looking a little worn and dated. Carpet thread bare and just needs updating. The food was such a mixed bag. We had a mixed starter for two, the ribs were clearly the ends of the ribs with very little meat, the prawn toast was ok, and the rest forgettable. The mains, curry beef, and sweet and sour chicken, the latter was very nice, the curry was like going to an Indian and having one of the hot ones you have on a night out with the lads. Rice was egg fried rice, just no egg, very really. Mixed bag for me, wouldn't be going back based on that visit.

Takeaway food was good. Big portions.

Had two takeaways from here during our week staying near Pickering the food was some of the best we have had and it was delivered in a good time, would definitely use again! Great value to

Nice restaurant with well cooked food. Good range of standard dishes.

Just had a takeaway delivered to our campsite absolutely delicious 😋

Mature couple in Pickering on holiday. Fancied a Chinese style meal. Staff were lovely and the place was clean . We sat in . I ordered the Fortune Spacial Chow Mein with crispy noodles.. see the picture. Crispy noodles are supposed to be done in the wok. These weren't. It was IMHO noodles straight out of a packet. They weren't even warm . The mixed meat on the top with sauce was OK. Could have done with more sauce to soak into the noodles.. I didn't feel it had been made to order as it came real quick. Had too much MSG in it for me. I wouldnt recommend that dish. Avoid. My OH had beef in blackbean sauce with rice that was decent. See picture. I'd prob guess if your local you know the best to order. They seemed to be doing a decent trade in take aways. Maybe I just landed on the wrong night. The service was good which raised it for me to a 3 star from 2 ...

The food was absolutely amazing. Best Chinese food we have had in a long time. Restaurant was clean and friendly staff. Couldn't fault it.

We return every year on holiday and every single time the quality is excellent and the carry outs come thi k and fast. We both had meat & prawn spring rolls (3 each), followed by tiger prawn and chicken for my.other half, quarter crispy aromatic duck with the trimmings for me and a shared egg fried rice. Add a beer for him and a bottled water for me, the whole lot was a smidgen under £50 - and was absolutely delicious. We'll be back.

Wonderful atmosphere, food was amazing. Thank you for your hospitality.

Called in on a Sunday evening for a meal. Friendly and helpful staff who knew the menu well. Lovely food.

The food was outstanding in fact we would go so fas as to say it was the best Chinese food we have ever had! We would highly recommend. The staff were lovely, attentive and tables were kept very clean. We will return 😊

Amazing service food was lovely and the staff were so friendly and very accomindating for our son . Very relaxed and no rush to eat and go

the food was amazing but they could've given me a fork to eat my food with

Lovely old fashioned Chinese restaurant Pleasant cheerful staff plain simple interior fastidiously cleaned between customer’s Most importantly the food we have ordered on the three times we have visited is really nice not like a lot of bland offerings you get in most Chinese establishments these days

The best chinese in pickering so freindly food outanding a feat full of flavor will be back again september how could we not a great chinese

This is a good example of don't judge a book by its cover. Very old school decoration but staff were friendlest we came across in Pickering and the food was excellent. The Honey chilli chicken was our favourite. We would be there on a regular basis if we lived closer. We will have it top of the places to eat at when we visit the area again.

Meals are fab we got chicken chow mein chicken satay hong kong style sweet and sour chicken fried rice and veg noodle soup and it was excelent a party of flavours its a great find and they deliver too small charge which is worth it for the fab food or you can sit in its a little gem

Takeaway, ordered pork and duck chow me in. Duck very fatty which seems to be common theme in reviews and pork very dry, unfortunately will not be using again

We’re holidaying in a cottage just up the road so thought we’d pop in for a meal. Service was excellent, very friendly and attentive. We ordered a selection of dishes to share between us (5 of us in total). Food was delicious, hot and fresh, full of flavour. Would recommend the duck in plum sauce, chicken chow mein and the sweet & sour chicken balls.

Had a lovely meal here tonight. Food was tasty, decent portion size and the service was very good. Would definitely recommend.

Highly recommended, excellent food all very tasty with good service, not much atmosphere as it was very quiet and I'm not a fan of plastic table cloths particularly in a restaurant

Excellent place for your Cantonese dining experience. Excellent food and great service. We will visit again.

Had our first take away from Fortune Inn was delicious, recommend .

We really enjoyed the food there and there wasn't a long wait. Good selection of food also. Would go back

Really nice food, we went twice in the few days we were there and recommended it to family who also visited. Service was great too, had a young girl servicing us who we couldn't fault, great customer service.

Brilliant service, all 5 of us enjoyed our food and it was a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend

Good , Delicious ,best service and not expensive.

We were a party of 9 who just called in on route to our accommodation . We made very welcome, we ordered 9 different meals and served with 9 excellent meals very quickly, which everyone enjoyed. Would certainly recommend. 😋

Not bad lovely staff but keep changing there recipes that lose the appeal and lovely flavours.

Order on phone was told 45 min got there was busy asked the lady how long my food would be she said she could not tell me finally got food after 2 hours and I would not of fed to my dogs will be asking for a refund

Excellent food, great table service, I couldn’t ask for more.

Had a takeaway delivered the other day. Absolutely spot on. Delicious hot food at a reasonable price, would highly recommend to all.

Was on Good Friday, everywhere was fully booked, but they found us a table, best Chinese meal I've had in years. Absolutely brilliant.

Great people. Great food. Needs to be busier because it’s great value too!

Lovely meal staff so friendly. Wasn't sure if needed to book but we're happy with us just dropping in. Food was really good plenty of it. Definitely enjoyed our experience. Will return when next in Pickering

Top quality food, top quality service. Pleasant surroundings.

Nice place food was lovely nice and hot,staff very friendly

This is the WORST Chinese I have had. I ordered 1/4 duck with boiled rice and curry sauce. When I unwrapped the duck at home it was all ready shredded with the bone left on top. It looked like dog food. When eating it it was full of fat and some was warm and other parts cold, this was almost £20 and it went straight in the bin. I will never eat here or recommend this to anyone again.

Absolutely amazing, staff friendly, delivery fast and food brilliant.

Takeaway ordered. Nothing to write home about and the sweet and sour was served with sauce and not with a separate pot as requested.

Quick and great value for money. Good variety of choice for a reasonable price.

Excellent service, Great food full of taste. Value for money . Will be back. Thankyou .

Average but only just, yellow coloured rice, is not egg fried rice...! Undercooked poor ribs, soggy chips, very expensive as well. Wouldn't recommend....
