When you drive by, Fortune Cookies is rather easy to miss and not exactly inviting from the outside. However, it's a very solid spot for authentic Hunan style food. The menu is very expansive. Like the name of the restaurant, the English translations don't really translate well to the actual name of the dish so I suggest trying to find pictures if available. I went with the ox tongue/tripe in spicy pepper sauce, beef stew in casserole, chicken in hot chili oil, and sautéed pork kidney. Everything was good, as were the portion sizes. Most of the items are spicy, though not like Szechuan food. Will definitely be back to try other items (hopefully I'll be able to accurately guess the menu items)

True Hunan Style Authentic Chinese Food - Spicy and Delicious! We had a party of 8 come here ... with everyone who could only handle different levels of spiciness. We were able to order different dishes that satisfied everyone's palettes. The dishes were super tasty, the staff was friendly and fast. The place is a bit a hole in the wall but the food is very good. The prices are pretty good too. We will be coming here again!

I've been coming to fortune cookies with my family for the last 8 years. I have never once been disappointed in the food here. It is very authentic Schezuan cuisine with very fast service. Leo is the owner and a very nice man always willing to chat. My favorite dishes here are the cumin beef or lamb, the sauteed green beans, the hot and sour chicken hunan style and the ginger flounder. The food is very flavorful and I've brought several of my friends here who continue to rave about our experience. The restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside, but the food is among the best Chinese I've had in the entire state.

Definitely doesn't look appealing from the outside and the interior is very unassuming however my gosh their food is very authentic Hunan and exceptional! The menu I will admit is a bit intimidating for one unfamiliar with such authentic Chinese cuisine and quite extensive. If I went on my own I'd be at a loss what to order but fortunate for me I was in company with a group that knew. I am very familiar with various Chinese cuisines but not authentic Hunan and found every dish we ordered exceptional. ( see Photos) The fish in chili oil was a dish I have had before but nothing as full of the complicated flavors as this dish! See my photos for a rundown of what we ordered and just know every dish was a hit.

If there's a place in NJ I can eat everyday for the rest of my life, I'd pick Fortune Cookies without a blink of the eye. It's a foolproof option for my Chinese taste bud. It's AUTHENTIC, spicy, flavorful and fresh. Crispy pork ribs, omg, deep fired with deep flavor. Every rib is seasoned to the bone. The first bite, you HEAR crispy, and then the second bite the pleasure of fat and protein echos in your mouth with the simple seasoning of salt and pepper. It's a wonderful day to be a omnivore. And then there's the endless options of fish. From the fish head to the whole fish, every single one of them delights me. The fish soup superb, the fish meat silky. I think what's even more impressive of the place is that they experiment with new dishes every now and then despite already having a menu as thick as a cookbook. I can't speak more highly of this place. Please come and try.
