About The Good Fortune

The Good Fortune is a Cantonese restaurant at 1174 High Rd in Whetstone, London, where the dim sum is made in house and the chefs work in an open kitchen that diners can see. The dim sum list includes har gau and siu mai. Beyond it, the cooking follows a traditional Cantonese and Hong Kong style, with beef ho fun among the noodle dishes. A lunchtime menu adds a 2-course set option. Tables can be had as a walk-in without booking, and parties of six or more can arrange group meals and banquets.

Customer Review Summary

Dim sum is the main draw, with reviewers singling out har gau, cheong fun and siu mai as fresh, light and juicy. One also notes the open kitchen where the dim sum chefs work. Beef ho fun comes close behind, praised for its wok-hei, alongside the roast duck, ma po tofu, Malaysian curry and a smoky fried rice. Reviewers call the food authentic Cantonese, and describe the staff as friendly, attentive and quick. The complaints are few and specific. One diner found the siu yuk had been reheated, so it was neither crispy nor as tender as expected. A delivery customer called the food authentic but expensive, fine with an app discount. Sesame ice cream and mango-grapefruit dessert earn mentions, as do sesame prawn toasts and giant sweet and sour prawns at a birthday banquet. Small gestures stand out, from complimentary prawn crackers at the start of one dinner to a surprise dish of banana fritters and ice cream at the end of a celebration.
