" Sorry to say, but I was not impressed. I came highly recommended, but the soup felt lukewarm and bland compared to what I expected. While I didn't have the jianbing, my friend said it was decent. The ambiance was lively but made it hard to hear one another talk. I might give it another shot on a less hectic day, but my first experience didn't quite impress me. Perhaps the dishes I ordered were not the right ones to exemplify the place's potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" I initially hesitated to come because of the crowded atmosphere. However, I am very pleased that I did! The food here is incredibly authentic, and the conversation amongst customers brings a lively feel to the restaurant. I enjoyed every bite of my meal. My only criticism was the seryoumight have not experienced a more hospitable welcome. Still worth the visit for the authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an excellent experience at FORTUNE NO 1! The noodles are made fresh, and I could taste the quality. I loved how the restaurant felt like you were transported right back to Tianjin. I found the serving sizes to be very generous — my meal alone could have served two! The only hiccup was a slight delay in getting our food, but it wasn’t too bad. Definitely will be coming back for my weekend brunch fix. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who lived in Tianjin, finding a restaurant that captures the essence of home is rare. The dishes here, particularly the 豆腐脑 and 天津包子, remind me of cozy mornings with my family. The flavors are spot on, and I can't recommend enough that you try the 糖果子. The only downside was the wait time, but it’s understandable for such authentic food. All in all, if you're craving a taste of Northern China, FORTUNE NO 1 delivers! I will definitely return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" You absolutely need to try the 揚小鬆饅頭 if you haven't already. It's a fluffy bun packed with flavor! I was thrilled to find such a hidden gem in LA. The place is authentic and brimming with character. My only complaint was the noise level, which can distract from your dining experience, but it's a small price to pay for such good food. Bring a friend, enjoy a leisurely meal, and indulge in those homey tastes of Tianjin. Worth every penny! " (*Curated Review*)

" You guys, I can't state how authentic this place feels! The crispy fried dough and the smooth soy milk were heavenly! Every time I'm in a hurry, I assure you I will pop back in. The prices are on the low side for what you get, which is a pleasant surprise in LA. It's a little on the crowded side, especially on weekends, but it’s reason enough to keep coming back for those hearty breakfasts. It’s definitely a frequent stop now! " (*Curated Review*)

" Authenticity is the name of the game here! The first bite of the 天津包子 had me tearing up from nostalgia. While the ambiance replicates a traditional Chinese breakfast spot, be prepared for a crowd, particularly on weekends! We got the jianbing and soy milk too; a must-try for those wanting an authentic experience. But be warned: the wait times can be brutal. Plan ahead when coming here to fully enjoy the food and relish those flavors from Northern China. " (*Curated Review*)
