At the heart of Southend-on-Sea, Fortune Garden stands out as a vibrant Chinese restaurant, garnering rave reviews from patrons for both its extensive menu and delightful service. Located at 1159 London Rd, the restaurant caters to a variety of dietary preferences, including a remarkable vegan selection. Customers rave about their extraordinary dishes, such as the mushroom chow mein and the innovative crispy chili vegan ‘beef’.

Reviews highlight the restaurant's commitment to freshness and flavor. For example, Jasmine Tuffin-Croud praised the quick turnaround for her takeaway order and described her meal as the best since becoming vegan. The garlic tofu and broccoli received mixed reviews; however, the praise for the broccoli showcases the care taken in dish preparation. Additionally, Geoff Edwards emphasized the value of their all-you-can-eat buffet, noting the freshness and extensive choice of starters, particularly the minced chicken dumpling.

Service is another strong point, with patrons appreciating the attentiveness of the staff who are eager to accommodate requests. Whether you’re a vegan or simply in search of exceptional Chinese cuisine, Fortune Garden promises a memorable dining experience. Many, like Jonny Law, insist it's the best spot for king prawn chow mein in the area, making it a must-visit for local food lovers.

Ordered a takeaway after browsing their extensive vegan menu. Food was ready in half an hour for collection. Everything was piping hot. Food was delicious 10/10 best Chinese meal I’ve had since being a vegan. We had mushroom chow mein, vegetable chow mein, crispy chilli vegan ‘beef’, sweet and sour vegan ‘prawns’, mock duck and pancakes, seaweed, vegan ‘chicken’ satay, spring rolls, vegan ‘chicken’ balls and curry sauce, garlic tofu and broccoli, banana fritters and vegan fried rice. We loved everything except the tofu in the garlic sauce the tofu was a bit watery but the broccoli in the same sauce was delicious. Would recommend highly! Upon collecting it was confirmed without even asking that it was all vegan! Thanks Fortune Garden

Omg!!!! What a nice experience. The food was lovely, the lady said the order would arrive in 40 minutes. But the doorbell rang just after 20 minutes, I think. Unless I was so hungry and time just flew!!! Amazing food. We had chicken chow main and some spicy tofu with vegetables and spring rols. Will definitely order again!! Thank you

First time here.... Very impressed.. Food very fresh good choice of food in the all you can eat buffet.. And at 20.00 a head it makes me wonder how they make money.. We had a party of 8 and we had over 30 starters to choose from. Which were fantastic expessially the minced chicken dumpling. So tasty. The duck and pancakes were tasty. The service was so good and nothing was a problem.. Thank you for a lovely evening..

The staff were so lovely. One lady offered us a larger table when we ordered so many vegan dishes On that topic - this place has an extensive vegan friendly menu, and everything we tried from it was lovely. It was our first time here, and we will definitely be returning.

This was the first time we had purchased from Fortune garden and we ordered for take out , even though it was New Year’s Eve our order was ready when we requested for collection and when entering the Chinese it was so busy with people who had dined in , it was lovely to see . The food was absolutely amazing the plain chow mein was shared between three people and was also perfect for my brother who is vegan , there was plenty of options for him too . He was more than happy with his set meal for one and said it was the best he’s had in a while !. Really amazing food and will definitely be ordering again as well as dining in.

Ordered from the relatively new vegan menu, all very delicious! And a lot of choice on offer. We got vegan spring rolls, curry sauce, plain chow mein (lovely thin noodles) and sweet and sour mock chicken Hong Kong Style. It's the most extensive menu I've seen in the area from a non vegan restaurant. I'm very impressed and will spread the word ! Also, my brother got a (non vegan!) munchie box which was massive and he really enjoyed it. Not seen anywhere else doing those, but then again we won't be going anywhere else any time soon
