Good Fortune

This place is second to none. Homemade noodles. Made to order chicken and more! Everything that we've ordered was tasty and great!! Service is top notch and the ambiance of the place also supporting the mood of the night.This is 5 stars place to visit in Memphis! Love it so much we decided to get shirts from them

This trip to Good Fortune didn't live up to the flavorful experience we had last time. First off, the wait was pretty long. We arrived, put our name down, and were told it'd be about 45 minutes. We went next door to a bar to kill time, but when we came back at the 45-minute mark, they told us it still wasn't ready--even though three tables were open. An hour and 15 minutes later, we finally got a table, but only because we kept asking if anyone was going to sit at those open spots.I ordered the lemongrass mojito, which was fine, but honestly, it wasn't a mojito at all. It only had mint as a garnish on top and none in the drink itself, which was a bit disappointing.On a positive note, the crawfish dumplings were amazing--10/10, and I'd definitely order them again. However, the chicken ramen was very bland. It had little to no flavor, and honestly, I could've just added soy sauce to it and it would've been better. I ended up not eating much of it and brought it home to add garlic, hoisin, and soy sauce to the broth, which made it more palatable. Even then, the chicken was underseasoned and overcooked.All in all, I'd probably skip the ramen if I return, but I'd definitely come back for those dumplings.

our server was really nice, but overall experience was disappointing. we came in as a group of 8, which isn't small, so we had no problem waiting for a table to be ready. however they told us they had to split us up into 2 groups of 4 in order to seat us inside. sure that's fine. they seat us at two tables that are parallel to each other, so we cannot talk to the other half of our group. we asked if we could be moved so at least we're all seated next to each other, they tell us they're not able to do that as it would be a fire hazard. sure.....yet not even 30 minutes later a group of 8 is seated all together, right next to us. no splitting of the group, they moved tables together to make it happen. we ask the manager why they were able to be accommodated and not us, they claim it's bc they had kids in the party. no offer made to fix our situation, and they automatically include 20% gratuity on every check which is wild. TLDR: they were weird and rude to our party of 8 for no reason, yet sat an exact same party size right to us. chop

I forgot to take a picture of my meal but let's get into what I did remember to capture. First, the sailor Saturn cocktail is for anyone who likes sweet and tangy. It's very good. I definitely should've ordered two. Next, the ube cake. So soft, the frosting is fluffy. Just so good. And it's the perfect amount of sweetness. It satisfies the craving without being overly sweet. My actual meal was the kimchi and wings. The kimchi is a little spicy but good. I'd like a little more seasoning on the wings but they're not bad. Overall, great vibes and exceptional service. It's becoming a downtown favorite.

After further consideration, I'm updating my review. I'm a well traveled ramen eater and although the ramen didn't meet my expectations, every thing else exceeded! The ramen was closer to a 3 for me, but the service was a 5! My husband and I traveled from Dallas to try this place and it was pouring down raining. We had our dog so the only option was the covered patio. Due to the rain, Good Fortune wasn't allowing service on the patio, but once they saw our beautiful baby boy, they made an exception. What a wonderful gesture! Shout out to the business owner for taking time to receive my message and respond informatively and politely. We will be back next time we are in town and will even try the ramen again!

It was our first time here and the inside was cute! We had to wait a little bit, but it was worth it. Great food! Friendly service!

I've heard so many good things about this place so I figured it was time for me to check it out for myself. First of all it's beautiful, a clean aesthetic. The people are very friendly and you can tell they enjoy working there. I asked my waiter for his recommendation and he suggested the Chicken Bowl, so I ordered that with the Cucumbers and some Hibiscus Tea. I love Hibiscus tea. The Chicken Bowl did not disappoint, it was cooked to perfection and reminded me of a deconstructed roll with the nori on the side. The cucumbers with the Miso were the perfect counterpart adding crunch and balance to the bowl. From the looks of the other food coming out, I will certainly be back to try Everything on menu. I get what all of the Hype is about and it's worth a trip downtown.Now, there is 1 thing that I didn't love and that was the bathroom situation. I don't mind unisex bathrooms but some men aren't as careful when going and sometimes forget to flush. Unfortunately I went in behind such man that didn't flush so I did so with my foot and left. Unisex bathrooms require a lot more attention when it comes to keeping it clean. A lot of places are doing this to be inclusive and I get it. Anyway I had a Great time and will be back soon!! Well Done!

Oh. Good Fortune. How I love thee.... Let me count the ways...The vibe is really like none other in the beautiful, historic, love filled, City of Memphis. There is a really cool noodle themed mural that runs along the entire wall that took me three or four visits to realize it was all just a bowl of "noods" in art. There are little noodle dudes playing throughout it. The music is loud, it has a hip hop flair to it that just adds to the whole Memphis vibe. The tables are jam packed and I have never been there when it's not completely full. This gives me a great feeling of togetherness when I'm here. The mixture of patrons is that in which I do not believe you will find anywhere else in Memphis. All kinds of ethnicities, genders, and socioeconomic status, can be seen here. You are close enough to just have a conversation with the people around you and see what they had to eat. ;)I love the staff. Talk about even more diversity! There are so many types of people working here. It's hard to describe, you just gotta go. I think this helps add to the charm that brings in so many different customer backgrounds. They all work together to get you some great service man. Food is fucking killer! All of the things I've had were absolutely fantastic. They make the noodles here every day fresh and do not allow you to get them to go, as it would not be anywhere near the same experience if you didn't eat them right as they hit the table. Speaking of that, food comes to you as it gets ready, not all at once. Be ready for that My favorites are GFC Wings, Impossible Rolls & Dumplings, and the Potato Dumplings. I struggle to get away from them and try new things because I crave these things each time that I leave. I must branch out! I MUST BRANCH OUT!'24 - 37/100

This is my favorite restaurant in Memphis right now; ambiance and food are unmatched. The indoor dining is beautiful and well decorated, and the outdoor patio is well suited for evenings. Service is lovely. Ordered: beef dumplings (favorite! Sweet and savory), mango sake, GFC wings (2nd favorite), chicken fried riceEverything is made from scratch and it shows

Food was spectacular! We got the potato dumplings, pork dumplings, chicken ramen, and the tenders. We loved all of it! The ramen was the perfect amount of noodle and broth. The potato dumplings were delicious! It's a small little restaurant but worth the wait if there is one. The service was great!
