About Fortune Five Chinese Restaurant

Northbridge regulars know to hit James Street well before 11 am for push-trolley dim sum that wastes zero time. Heated carts roll straight to the table the minute you sit—unloading bamboo steamers packed with plump har gow, pork dumplings, and silky rice rolls. Come dinner, the room shifts into banquet gear, with tables passing around herbal roast duck and egg noodles soaked in lobster broth. The floor stays loud, carts keep moving, and weekend queues are guaranteed.

  • Trolley-Service Dim Sum: Heated push-carts circulate directly to tables for immediate picks of giant prawn dumplings and fresh rice rolls.
  • Cantonese Banquet Mains: Generous shared plates anchor evening tables, led by herbal roast duck and lobster over braised noodles.
  • High-Energy Teahouse Pace: A bustling James Street teahouse featuring side-by-side dining rooms, brisk service, and steady morning queues.
