Lucky Fortune Cookery - Anaheim

Imagine a spot where every sip transports you to a flavor paradise, reminiscent of Disneyland's California Adventure. The spicy Birria Ramen here is a burst of deliciousness, with tender, juicy beef creating a delightful experience in your mouth. The best part? No more drama of waiting in line! With their convenient mobile ordering, you just tap your phone and get to enjoy your meal immediately—pure ramen bliss. The portions are generous, the prices are affordable, and the atmosphere exudes cozy charm at its finest. Trust me, both your taste buds and your wallet will thank you. This place truly represents a win-win situation!

Let me start with the highlight: the lychee tea. If you're looking for a refreshing drink at DCA, this is a good choice, especially if you enjoy bubble tea. It’s not overly sweet, and the lychee jelly at the bottom adds a delightful touch. On the other hand, I would recommend avoiding the Thai tea. It was excessively sweet—seriously, it was incredibly sweet. I'm not sure if I accidentally ordered it with extra sugar, but it was just too much. As for the bulgogi burrito, it was decent, but nothing special. It tasted like just another Asian-inspired burrito from a random cafeteria. The Baymax macaron was similarly too sweet, just like the Thai tea. I don’t know, maybe I’m just not a fan of overly sweet treats? My girlfriend claims I have a sweet side, so who knows!

At Lucky Fortune Cookery, the yaki udon with karaage offered an imbalanced veggie-to-noodle ratio that didn't quite hit the mark. The absence of the Baymax macaron on the app was a disappointment, especially after spotting it at the counter during pickup. The karaage chicken sandwich and accompanying chips also fell short of expectations, lacking in authenticity and flavor. Despite these hiccups, I'm intrigued to give their birria ramen a try. The staff was efficient, a plus point in a busy environment where finding a good seat can be challenging due to the bustling seating area.

Food was decent. The food definitely has one of the more unique flavors since it's a fusion place. Portion side could be bigger for the udon. Tried to come back to order a macaroon but was not able to get into the line because they had a cast member standing at the end blocking people. They have plates of the cookies stacked up and ready to hand out at the mobile order pick up window. I expressed my interest in ONLY purchasing the cookie and the cast member thought about it for a second before saying no again. Sucks it was my birthday too, but I guess it depends on the cast member. There was still a line of 30 or so people.

The wait was a little long, but I thought the food was really good! I had the Beef Birria Ramen and a Baymax macaroon. It was getting chilly and the ramen was very hearty, warming and tasty. Definitely hit the spot! The Baymax cookie was adorable but didn't have a lot of flavor. I don't think I would get it again, but it definitely has a cuteness factor that's also really Instagrammable. Seating is shared with the other eateries, but it has a cool street vibe and Asian influences.
