I finally got around to trying Good Fortune two weekends ago, and I'd
rate it a very close second to China Chef, as the Wheaton joints go.
Took me a while to realize that that was where we were headed, since my
folks gave me the wrong directions and told me to look for the
"New World".  The food is bolder at Good Fortune, but at the same time,
less consistent.  The chrysanthemum tea (served with rock sugar) is the
beverage of choice. The pork-filled steamed buns were among the best
I've had.  Several of their tofu items can't be had at other local
dim sum places, and very well prepared.  The fried foods were very
disappointing that day, however.

Good Fortune is a much cozier restaurant than either Fortune or
China Chef, and the service is very good compared to the other two.
Well worth a trip if you're looking for something a tad different,
but Fortune is still my favorite.
