I have gone to this Thai place for years (under the old management). A friend told me they had "changed hands." But on a whim last night I ordered take out. Well it will be the last time I ever go out of my way to go there again. The menu has changed...and I do mean changed. The food is greasy, heavy..and does not taste fresh. When I went to pick up order at 7:30 in the evening there was not a single person in the place. It looked like a ghost town! Clearly the place has gone down hill....now to find if the original owners have opened a new place? I would not recommend this place to anyone who wants good Thai food! I will never be back. Too bad, because it WAS a great place, before.

I was disappointed to find that Fortune Garden has gone way downhill since I last ate there a year or so ago. The service was very slow and inattentive, the food very bland, and the menu has very few Thai dishes now. Definitely not the place it once was. Also, this evening I discovered that they've decided walking around RTP parking lots yanking on windshield wipers and stuffing fliers under them (many of which end up on the ground as litter - one of my pet peeves) is an acceptable way to advertise. It's not, as far as I'm concerned. This restaurant is definitely NOT recommended.
Pros: None
Cons: Slow, bland, few Thai dishes; they stick flyers under your windshield wipers to advertise
