Fu Mon Lau is now my most highly recommended restaurant in the Dayton area! Walking in you get a sense of elegance at the decor. You know you'll be getting the freshest meal possible with one glance at the lobster and fish tanks. For starters we had the 5 spice beef. This is a cold appetizer served with a light and delicious sauce. We also shared the chicken fried rice. Such an amazing balance of flavors. Light and fluffy. My new favorite fried rice anywhere! There were three of us dining together. Our friend, Luke, had their signature dish: Stir Fried Lobster with scallions. He annihilated it exclaiming excellence with every bite. My wife, Camilla, had the sizzling black bean steak with onions and peppers. She moaned in delight with each mouthful. Being a seafood fanatic I enjoyed the Clay Pot Grouper. Let me tell you without hesitation that this is the best seafood dish I've had in all of Dayton. Our wonderful server was Karen. She made us feel both welcome and very well looked after. We asked about the AMAZING lose leaf tea we enjoyed with our meal and she excitedly told us it is Oolong tea fresh from China. I will become a regular here.
Some of the best Chinese food we’ve had. The fried dumplings were delicious and best I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The waitresses were attentive and food arrived quickly. Will make this restaurant a routine visit.
This is the best Chinese seafood restaurant you will find in Midwest. Food and dish selection is outstanding! They specialize in seafood and have an excellent selection of chicken, beef, pork and vegetarian plates too. I've traveled the world to find good food and I have to say is place is a gem. Recommend calling for reservations on weekends and they also have a small party room. Takeout is also an option. They have fresh seafood...as in it's still live so it doesn't get any better than that. Yes they do run out of product at times because it's that good. Tables and chairs are really comfortable and the bathroom is clean. Parking is also convenient. Food is served on real plates. They do offer beer and wine here too. Lighting is bright so you can really see your food. Prices are affordable and the portions are large.
Fu Mon Lau sesame chicken, hunan shrimp, sweet and sour chicken, and sesame chicken. I have eaten Chinese food from the west coast to the east coast and even Alaska. When someone says hunan shrimp there is a particular flavor that I am looking for. This restaurant had a beautiful presentation. The staff was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was authentic. The food was really good. The sweet and sour chicken had the best texture...fluffy, and was not oily. It needed more sauce so we asked for a side. The rest of the food was good, but it didn't taste like the name suggested. The hunan shrimp had no spice and the flavor wasn't the same. The orange chicken did not have any spice either. It's usually served with red pepper flakes. The sesame chicken tasted like a piece of chicken with a sweet sauce and they threw sesame seeds on it. It didn't have that distinct taste or orange or sesame chicken. I didn't taste any orange in the orange chicken. It was all really good, but I thought it was going to taste like something else.
Our visit started off badly. Thirteen of us met there for dinner. One of our group had made a reservation online thru their website. When we arrived they told us they don't take online reservations and they were booked up. That changed quickly when they realized we were a group of 13 and not just the four of us that got there first. That said, this place knocked it out of the park! Everyone in our group was blown away by the food. The soups were excellent, the appetizers were two and piping hot, the entrees were delicious and plentiful. While the dishes came out of the kitchen one by one, that's easily overlooked when compared to the number of customers inside, customers waiting to get in, and of course the quality, taste, and temperature of the food did get to the table. I love to see how they perform on a slow night, if a place this good ever has one.
This is one of my favorite places to eat and the service has always been excellent. Anyways, I always loved this place it makes me feel like home whenever I go eat. The food is so good, my favorite has the be the steamed fish!!! It tastes like the ones my mom makes at home!! Highly, recommend this place to anyone!!
I took my mom here who is very picky about authentic Chinese food. Her and I were both very pleased with the food and the plate presentation.
Ordered for delivery on Uber eats. Was still hot when I got it and OH WOW. Beef with vegetables — probably one of the best I’ve ever had. Loaded with good veggies (check out that baby corn! And I think also carrots, snow peas, mushrooms and zucchini?). Fresh and delicious. And beef very tender. Not greasy. Got with fried rice which is also delicious. 10/10. will order again.
