Top Chinese Restaurant in Seal Beach
Fortune Cookies Restaurant Los Alamitos
12235 Seal Beach Blvd, Seal Beach, CA 90740, United States
Ive known Fortune Cookies since it opened in Los Alamitos a couple of decades ago. Its now in Seal Beach, just a few blocks down from the original location. Ive always liked their philosophy of being a healthy Chinese restaurant. Some people say that, because of that, the food is a bit on the bland side. Well, maybe they arent overly aggressive flavors, but I actually do like them. And I think that their Mandarin Chicken with Eggplant is absolutely delicious! Anyhow, in these times of crazy prices, FC still gives you a lunch special for 10 bucks that includes a spring roll with salad, your choice of rice, your choice of soup, and one entree. Hard to beat that!

We picked up dinner here last night and we will never go back again. I ordered chicken with broccoli. My companion ordered chicken with vegetables. There were at least 5 people behind the counter and the kitchen seemed very busy. Mostly orders called in for pick-up, I suspect, because there werent that many of us waiting in their dining room. We waited almost 1/2 an hour. Ok. They were busy.When we finally got our food, we paid them and left a tip. And that was the best part of our dinner. Instead of receiving my chicken and broccoli, I too was served chicken with vegetables. So both orders should have been the same, right? Wrong. My companions meal was swimming in soy sauce, and besides the fact that her boneless chicken had bones in it, it was tough as nails and inedible. We ended up throwing it away and I made her a couple eggs. My chicken dish had no soy sauce and the chicken was prepared differently. It was tough and very chewy but at least it was edible. I called the restaurant to tell them what happened. Their phone rang 22 times before someone answered and I was immediately put on hold for over 9 minutes. I finally hung up.Terrible food, terrible customer service. Dont go here.

1st choice was lunch @ Fortune Cookie. However, dine-in didnt start until 4pm. It was around 2 at the time.Ok, 2nd choice was Panera. (Hadnt set foot @ this Paneras in ages cuz last 3 times I was there, something not so pleasant occurred.) Well, guess what? They messed up our orders again. We ordered the soup & 1/2 sandwich, my usual. They brought soup & salad. My friend kept the salad. I wanted the half sandwich. Then they brought my order ticket to show what was actually ordered. I dont care. I know what I usually order from each place I go to. Yes, my fault, I didnt double chk my receipt B4 I left the cashier. What do I care? I ordered my usual, paid & tipped. Then sat at a table. Waited. Their staff made it into such a big deal. They had the mgr approach. I didnt even ask for him. Bottom line, I finally got my sandwich. Nice gesture from him...offered a pastry on the house. I opted for a cookie.I might add, moral is, I will not add tip B4 service. Gratuities are just that, Im grateful for the good service. ?☹️?

Great little shop nussled in amongst another great restaurants. Definitely stands out as there is not a lot of kabob type places around. Had the chicken kabob wrap, it was FANTASTIC. I Will definitely be coming back to try some of the other wrap types, maybe even a plate or two. Definitely be more than one trip back.If you want to break away from your normal burger, burrito, Chinese food routine definitely hit this place.Clean facilities, friendly staff, really really good food.
Thai on Main

Poor service, Great food. I had drunken noodles with chicken. It was spicy as expected and very delicious. My father had sweet n sour chicken with rice. His was very good as well. We both had a small salad that came with it. He said his tea was very good and it was just regular iced tea. We were very pleased with the food. The service was not good. And it wasnt just 1 waitress because we had 2 helping us and both were slightly rude. It started when we walked in and someone said hello. I looked around to say hello back as I stood by the wait to be seated sign. Then came another hello but loud and rude. I found her this time back behind the bar so I smiled and said hello. She said sit wherever you like so as we walked to sit where we like she then told us where to sit. She seemed impatient with all our questions about the menu. The place was almost empty. After we got our food my father asked for a cup of extra sweet n sour sauce. We later asked for soy sauce. She turned around and then turned back to us and said, Is there anything else? Her voice was not pleasant. My father and I decided we had a little food left and could probable fit both of our dishes in one box so its easier to carry as we walked on main. So when she came we asked her for one box and she said 1 or 2? We said 1 bc we would share. So, she brought us 1 box. I did not realize it would be a tiny cube box. So feeling bad and not wanting to make her run around I went to the counter and explained that I was sorry and I had no clue the boxes were so small and needed another one. She then looked at me and said thats why I asked you if you needed 1 or 2. Again, her voice wasnt pleasant. She could have just told me our boxes are very small or brought us 2 anyways. Well, sorry to make the waitresses work at a full sit down restraunt. I suggest these ladies are kinder to their customers. My father and I were both in from another state for a funeral because his mother passed away and were trying to have a moment to talk at the beach and dinner. Did not appreciate the rudeness at this restraunt.
