Fortune Lamb Dining - Vancouver, British Columbia

My first visit to this restaurant on or about May 10, 2024 . Two of us were looking for a place to eat along Kingsway (by Joyce) and came upon this restaurant. I always like lamb so thought we should give it a shot. The time was ... around 6:30 pm. The place had a lot of tables to choose from and there were about 4 - 5 other tables seated with diners. We were given a table right away for 2 near the entrance. The menu was large in size (14" x 12" ) with lots of photos. I was quite impressed by the extensive menu and the many photos...it was hard to choose what to eat as everything looked delicious. We picked 3 dishes, and some plum drink. I was surprised that some of the customers spoke Cantonese and the staff, too. I am a first generation Canadian Chinese (CBC) Cantonese speaker so was glad to hear the language as most of the restaurants in the area spoke Mandarin. Of course, they also spoke fluent English. Anyhow, we ordered the *Signature Whole Lamb soup *Handbag (stir fried cabbage (a slightly spicy) and very delicious dish *Grilled Chicken Gizzard skewer - Note: you have to order a minimum of 5 skewers (see notes below on skewers)** 1 bowl of rice 2 plum syrup drinks (**They have bunch of different types of meat skewers, however, for each type, you do have to order a minimum of 5 skewers for that one item so we did not order any the other skewers as it would be too much for 2 people. On our next visit, we'll try a different meat skewer. ) Everything was served relatively quickly and was very tasty. I would be interested in coming back to try the other items because the service, food quality, tastiness, and ability to get seated without reservations was worth the visit. However, it was during the Canucks playoffs, so not sure if that is why the area was not as busy. If you are the type that wants to get a table, you might try making a reservation. ps. if you can't find parking along Kingsway or side streets, you can try Safeway. We parked at Safeway and walked over since we had shopping to do there. There should be spots along Kingsway with metered street parking and free parking on side streets (watch the signs as some are half for residential ) . London Drugs also has a parkade but it is usually full due to Sumo Grill and a Pho restaurant. Give this place a try...I think you will like it. Read more

Great service and more than reasonable prices for the portions. Very good lamb taste in the soup, would recommend.

All the food we tried out there were delicious, it’s a place I will definitely revisit. They’ve got so many dishes on the menu! Stewed lamb and lamb soup are specially tasty, the barbecue lamb is just mediocre. But overall very tasty restaurant.

The radish is raw. The server claimed that it’s cooked, we’ll see the pic. The eggplant we ordered is also raw but acceptable. The whole lamb pot is tasteless.

I can’t love this restaurant more! The soup is so full of lamb flavor, if you’re not afraid of the lamb then you’ll absolutely love it! The 肉夾饃 is a very special dish which I believe exist in only Mainland China, however after it soaked in the soup, wow, amazing ... taste! The rest were all so good, we ordered based on the thumb in the menu, that are the recommendations from the restaurant, and they were really delicious. Will definitely invite our friends to come here with us again! Read more
