    WOW!! What a great experience. This was my first time at this establishment. Everything we ordered was so tasty and full of flavor. The entire wait staff were all so friendly and welcoming. Their Peking Duck was absolutely delicious. Definitely a must have. And if you’re not sure which appetizer to get, try the Pu Pu Platter. It has a variety of apps for a group to share. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Wow, just wow. Clean, neat, crisp, and utterly yum. I recommend the PooPoo platter, which is an appetizer, but can easily be split for two. It's served with hot coals to sear the meats. Everything was delish, and the complimentary green tee was a notch above! Oh, and for a reasonable price too!

    If you want to taste the real deal at reasonable prices go to Jack's Fortune. Truly superb authentic Chinese cuisine at affordable prices with a delightful family to attend to you too. Too chinese recommendation to date. Thank you Jack and family! 9/7 - Went again today 7/9/2019 for lunch. Teryaki chicken then beef and onions. They were simply superb. IMHO The best Chinese food in 4 Counties and perhaps even in Maryland! 9/26 - Returned twice since this review. IMHO likely to be the best Chinese Reataurant in Maryland! 5/31/21 - Enforced absence of a year. Still superb cooking, service and presentation. Likely, at least, one of the top chinese restaurants in Maryland and beyond.

    Jack's Fortune is our favorite restaurant. We go there to celebrate our family and friends' special birthdays. The food is terrific and the people are friendly! We especially enjoy all the attention to detail like the watermelon radish garnish on the plate of our dinner entree. Give Jack's a try, you won't regret it!

    So happy we discovered this restaurant! Warm atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff, and delicious food. Many delicious appetizers and entrees to choose from - moo sho chicken, Kung pao chicken, and the crispy whole fish, hunan style are just some of our favorites. Love the watermelon radish garnish and complimentary hot tea as well. I think we could eat here every week! Highly recommend!!

    Everything was great. So we planned on eating and bringing something of everything home for meal next day. Ate some of my appetizer ( shrimp toast) very good and asked for the remainder to go. After we got home we saw my shrimp toast was missing and the leftovers were only enough to fit the container when I know there was more left over. So we feel a bit ripped off on leftovers but otherwise great meal, service and drinks for a very reasonable price.

    This is the most delicious Chinese food I have ever eaten. The owners and staff are very kind, friendly and generous. Dining there is always a very delicious, fun and happy experience! The orange beef and crispy eggplant are out of this world fantastic!

    Jack’s is the Chinese restaurant every community needs. The food is always excellent, the service is friendly and efficient, and it is a great value given the quality of the cuisine. We always start with several appetizers, the shrimp toast, perfectly crisp with a tasty shrimp filling, the pan fried dumplings generously filled with pork that is deftly seasoned, and either spring rolls or egg rolls. Both of these items are crisp and their fillings plentiful and not an afterthought. Jack’s soups are a great, the hot and sour, won ton and egg drop are our favorites. It’s hard to pick a couple of entrees given all the excellent choices. On our most recent visit we had the General Tso’s Chicken and crispy beef. General Tao would be honored this dish was named after him. Perfectly good, most chicken, a crispy coating and flavorful sauce which is slightly sweet - not cloyingly so - and a nice touch of spice. The crispy beef was everything you love about this Chinese classic. The accompanying rice was perfectly cooked as was our pork fried rice which was generous with pork. Jack’s Fortune cares about every aspect of the meal, from the complimentary hot tea, the fine service, and the artistry of the hand crafted birds and decorative vegetables they place with the entrees. Recently, I had a business dinner at a new, very high end, Chinese restaurant in Washington, DC. Afterwards, a friend asked for my opinion of the restaurant and if I would return, my response was I would rather eat at Jack’s Fortune. True, Jack’s doesn’t have thumping techno music (EDM I think my kids call it…), inexplicably high prices, and imitation alligator menu covers. However, what it does have is delicious food made with heart, fantastic service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Jack keep up the great work.

    Always exceptional service and food. Large portions, very flavorful, and they don't skimp out on the protein. Everything tastes homemade, and if you dine-in they have a beautiful presentation.

    Best Chinese in Annapolis. Maybe the best I've ever had. They have an amazing Lunch special. Monday-Saturday 11-3. 10.95 entrée from the list, egg roll, soup, fried rice. Check them out

    Fortunate indeed to find Jack’s Fortune restaurant! Very welcoming staff in a American style traditionally decorated Chinese restaurant. Great atmosphere in a nice sit-down restaurant with uniformed staff and white linen- dressed tables. They also had a constant stream of take-out customers. Busy but unrushed. If you’ve been searching for a sit-down Chinese restaurant with beautifully prepared and presented dishes … this will be your go-to spot! Besides the typical dishes, there are a few unique to this chef and team. Highly recommend the spicy dumpling appetizer- the sauce was superb, spicy but not overwhelming with a rich Unami flavor. We asked to take the leftover sauce home - easily a cup or more, to use in our pale-by-comparison stir fries. Another unusual (in this area at least) dish was the flavorful Hot Pot - great mix of fresh flavor in a yummy sauce. This is going to be one of our go-to spots in Annapolis, which surprisingly doesn’t have a lot of comparable restaurants. Located in a strip shopping center in an otherwise mostly residential neighborhood.

    This is my fourth time coming here. It's been amazing each and every time. I'll probably continue coming back every week. Forever. You have to go eat the food fresh and in-person. The delightful atmosphere, excellent service, and well-crafted cocktails do not transfer to carry-out orders. I recommend the crispy beef and Singapore noodles!

    Hands down best Chinese food in the Annapolis area. Service is quick and accurate. Love the traditional tea. All the dishes are excellent. Crispy beef is a must. There are several ‘Jacks’ specials and I recommend all of them. Full bar too! Dining room isn’t huge but it’s worth the wait.

    The chef here is the former chef at the old Grace's Fortune in Bowie. He clearly brought the excellence of the old restaurant with him. The only thing that needs any improvement is the number of people working there at peak hours. The staff seemed very dedicated, but they were spread too thin.

    The best Chinese food I've had in Annapolis. The pupu platter has all the classic delicious appetizers. Their mapo tofu with minced pork and their Peking duck are delicious. Generous portions of everything and well made.

  • 5/5 Axel A. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious. I had the Cantonese chicken which are cuts of chicken breast (and actually taste and looks like chicken) that is battered with some black pepper sauce on it. While the sauce keeps is moist there is still some crisp I was to it which is a nice texture. Definitely has a kick to it but not overly spicy. The fried dumplings were also great and the sauce has a nice sweetness to it. Would definitely come back again to try the other dishes.

    A very pleasant atmosphere greeted us in Jack's Fortune. Our entrees were presented quite nicely. The table service was excellent. Two in my party were very pleased with their meals. My stir fry with pork was very nice - with the exception of the pork. It was tough, stringy and gristly. Steer clear of that! We had a very nice time and will definitely try them again.

    Dinner was excellent! Wonderful service. Wish we took a picture of our dishes, so delicious. I usually do carryout and the dine in experience was really lovely.

    Excellent, best food. The sweet and sour chicken was the best I have ever eaten. Moo Goo Gui Pan was very fresh. Highly recommend. Waiter was attentive and professional.

    Honestly, I’ve given this restaurant a try about 5-6 times now. There’s always something wrong, whether it’s a long wait (over an hour- which I can understand), to the quality of food. This place is decent- it’s not horrible, but it’s definitely not 4-5 stars. I’ve gotten everything from fried rice, to lo mein, to their “famous” crispy beef and salt and pepper wings. Firstly, their fried rice leaves much to be desired- flavor, amount of protein and veggies, and if you don’t include egg in your fried rice, why call it fried rice haha. Their salt and pepper wings are always soggy when I get them (as if they’ve been sitting there). Their beef and onion- like 2/3 of this dish was all onions, barely any beef. Their crispy beef is literally too crispy/hard. I’m not bashing on the place, just being honest, and I’m from the west coast where there’s a plethora of good Chinese restaurants. Customer service is great- the staff is awesome. The place itself is welcoming and warm. Overall, not horrible, but decent at best.

    Always so good! One of the best places in town and they definitely have the best Chinese food around here! The food, the service and the whole place always make for a great meal. It’s so cozy in there in the winter. We love to warm up with a cup of tea and a bowl of one of their soups. Great cocktails to cool off in the summer (or anytime). They are so kind to our kids too. We always come back again and again. The signature crab roll and the crispy beef are must haves!
