Beloved Chinese dim sum restaurant is reborn in Northwest Austin. Check out the menu.
One of Austin’s favorite Chinese restaurants from the last decade has gotten a new life across town.
William Wong opened New Fortune 2 Thursday at 12300 FM 620 near Anderson Mill Road. The restaurant is located in the building that was previously home to Jenna's Asian Kitchen.
Wong and his partners closed the original New Fortune in 2021 after the coronavirus pandemic crippled the restaurant's sales.
The daily dim sum menu includes more than two dozen dishes, including Shanghai soup dumplings, pan fried shrimp-leek cake, scallop dumplings and more. The dining room will feature roving dim sum carts on the weekends.
The main entrée selections feature more than 70 dishes, ranging from Peking style pork ribs to walnut shrimp and Vietnamese shaking beef. There is also a hot pot selection with five choices.
Weekday lunch specials ($11-$15) served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. include a selection of “Hunan Style” dishes like General Tso’s chicken or broccoli with beef, and “Hong Kong Style” selections like salt-and-pepper pork ribs and sautéed clam with black bean sauce, served with an egg roll and choice of soup and rice.
New Fortune 2 is open 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday and Wednesday-Friday, and 10:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
Wong and his partners in the original New Fortune, Ted Liu and Cao Nguyen (former T&S Seafood co-owner), operated that restaurant in the Chinatown strip center from 2014 to 2021. Wong was also previously a co-owner of Jade Restaurant in Davenport Village but recently sold that Chinese restaurant to out-of-town operators.
