Fortune Falls Church

In stride with the current economic conditions, I have cut back on my eating out. And even when I do eat out, it's been on the modest side - Gelico's, Gordon Biersch, and even the food court were some destinations within the last few weeks. Well, last Saturday, I decided to enjoy dim sum after several requests from friends and multiple cravings on my part. I chose Fortune after hearing from a couple coworkers that they served the best dim sum in the area. After trying China Garden in Rosslyn and Lucky Three in Falls Church and not being impressed by either, I learned to expect the worst. Fortune was not the worst, but it definitely was not great. The above average included the: shui mai, chinese broccoli, roasted duck, and fried shrimp. The sub-par included the: long noodles, spareribs, sticky rice, and shrimp puff. The long noodles were too soft , the spareribs too fatty, and the sticky rice too not sticky (it wasn't cooked through). For the "best dim sum in the area," how disappointing... I guess I will have to accept that dim sum on the east coast will never meet my standards.
