"This fried rice was the best fried rice I have ever eaten! It was sticky and flavored to perfection! Filet was cooked just right! Highly recommend!"
"I ordered the Filet Mignon Combo with Shrimp, the beef appeared to be regular NY steak as opposed to a Filet mignon cut; the tray was 80% rice. Flavor was okay but value just wasn't there the pictures were misleading. This was a one and done for me."

"Once Hunan Garden changed their recipe for Mandarin Chicken to match the former Fortune Gourmet recipe, it's become my favorite entree. When Human Garden bought out Fortune Gourmet, I feared my favorite food was gone for good. But no! It's here and as scrumptious as ever! Red and green fresh peppers, lightly breaded chicken and spicy but not lethal flavor! Tasty, fresh, and definitely worth ordering again and again! The Pad Thai (Chicken, Beef, Pork or Shrimp) with chicken was fresh, tasty, and flavorful. The noodles were al dente and deliciously filling. I highly recommend both entrees."
"I've wanted to like them since they bought out Fortune Gourmet years ago, so I order sporadically Alas, Spring Roll(2) was mushy, not crisp, and the filling had little flavor. The Pork Fried Dumplings had more flavor, but were very doughy and overwhelmed the filling. On a better note the Wonton Soup was very good, not just salty, with plenty of fresh green onions and beautifully clear, fresh broth. The Vegetable Lo Mein had lovely noodles and a reasonable portion of vegetables - onions, mushrooms, snow peas, and broccoli. The Pad Thai, Pork was tasty with al dente noodles and enough sauce for good flavor without drowning the food. Alas, no peanut topping. The main reason I ordered was the Mandarin Chicken . Thankfully HG abandoned their original recipe for this dish and adopted the FG recipe several years ago. Fiery without sacrificing flavor with fresh red, green, and yellow peppers (not the canned peas and carrots of yore.) Sadly, small portion/price ratio deters a repeat."
