Best Chinese food spot for lunch!!! Haven't had dinner there. Amazing lunch specials and features. Oh and the price is dynamite as well. Can't seem to get fried rice like theirs anywhere else, the ginger beef is second to none and hands down the best in the city!! Also had the wonton soup which was delicious and I heard some other customers in there today bragging about the wor wonton soup!

I'm not sure that I can rate Fan Tan as a solid four stars, but will round up. Service was ok, but not as fast as I expected for a cruise port. They seemed a little overwhelmed or short staffed. I'm thinking there was also a decent amount of takeout orders, as it didn't seem too busy inside. The space is a little tight and could use a few updates, nothing fancy.
The veggie spring roll was pretty tasty and so was the veggie general tso's, but it was soooo salty. I would definitely try something else if I ever stopped by again.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Gigi K.Honolulu, HI085Apr 26, 2024
Woah. This was... yikes. We ordered the wonton soup and it was an awful bowl of microwaved wontons, bland broth, a mountain of very large and very raw vegetables, and "chicken". Note the quotations around the "chicken" - it tasted like a sponge was soaked in a teriyaki and water mixture. In short, it was spongy (?) in a way you should never have to explain meat texture. If you've had Panda Express, you've had better Chinese food.
No need for a stop. It was FAN-awful.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jun 11, 2023
The menu at Fan Tan Cafe offers a wide variety of Chinese dishes, and it was a true delight to explore the culinary treasures they had to offer. The chefs at this establishment are undoubtedly masters of their craft, as every dish I tried was a work of art in both presentation and taste.
The flavors in each dish were incredibly well-balanced, showcasing the authentic essence of Chinese cuisine. Whether it was the succulent chicken chow mein or the beef and broccoli. Each bite was a burst of pure satisfaction. The ingredients used were fresh, and the attention to detail was evident in every dish.
The service at Fan Tan Cafe was impeccable, but they were very slow on taking order and providing check. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about their food. They were more than happy to answer any questions and offer recommendations, ensuring that every guest had a memorable dining experience.
The ambiance of the restaurant is another reason why I would highly recommend Fan Tan Cafe. The modern yet cozy decor creates a pleasant environment that is perfect for both intimate dinners and group gatherings. The restaurant is clean, well-maintained, and exudes a welcoming aura.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jess V.Mansfield, TX22111330Jul 8, 2024
I've never met Chinese food I didn't like...sadly, until this place. My group simply did not find this place good. The portions were large and service was nice. However, I would definitely look for another place to eat if visiting again.

This place is amazing! The owner has been here for 40 years! Best Chinese food I have ever had!

If you like so so Chinese food from the 1950's you will love this place. Otherwise stay away. Our friends took us here and it is one of their favorites. Personally my husband and I found it to be not so good. Large portions of mediocre Chinese food in a cute little place in Chinatown. The service was pretty bad considering there were only two other tables occupied the evening we were there it took forever to get the check. We were yelling at anyone who was there to please bring us the check but it was like we were invisible. I would never go back. But it never ceases to amaze me how these kind of places stay in business when the food and the service is mediocre.

This place is not your typical Chinese restaurant. The wontons have a weird mush texture and the Chinese food was very strange. Also the food didn't come out in a timely matter. By the time my husband was done eating, mine never came out until way later.

I really wanted to like this place, it's close to where I live and everyone's loves delicious Chinese food...
Unfortunately this place fell short of me wanting to return.
Service was lovely, place was clean and the decor was eclectic but lovely.
Down to the food...
I ordered the "choose your 3 dishes dinner" combo and it was very underwhelming.
My chooses were;
Cashew chicken, deep fried prawns and chicken chow mein.
The cashew chicken was yummy, unfortunately the rest was not.
The prawns were extremely greasy and a few drops of grease came out when I picked one up, the chow mein was the worst I've ever had...
Very dehydrated noodles (almost think they were leftover from the day before) and very very chewy.
For me, I won't go back.
$34 total for a combo, beer and a $4 tip.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Pamela P.Victoria, Canada51510Apr 3, 2024
I ordered Delivery off of a Mail app, and was so happy with the quality of the food, the amount of meat in the chicken balls was unbelievable, so many cashews in the vegetable dish, I'm not a rice fan, but I apparently didn't hit chow mein and he said fried rice host style and it was actually delicious and I am a fan!! presentation was great, flavour of the sweet-and-sour chicken was awesome, there was a beautiful spring roll, I just think it's a great little place undiscovered I'm glad I live close by!

The only time I write a review of a restaurant is if it is extraordinary or terrible. Avoid this place! The service was really poor and the food was questionable. There are other choices. If the service is poor that automatically is something to avoid
