Fortune Noodles (福满面) is a noodle stall in the food court at Royal Oak Mall, 691 Manukau Road, Royal Oak, Auckland, with a 4.6 rating on Google. Food-court eating is built on speed and specialisation: each stall usually does one cuisine well, so ordering the dish the stall is named for is rarely a mistake. A queue at lunchtime is generally a good sign, meaning food is cooked to order and turning over quickly rather than sitting under heat lamps. Seating is shared and first-come, first-served, so at peak times one person might scout a table while the other orders. Part of the appeal is convenience — a proper meal without breaking the shopping trip. Tucked into Royal Oak Mall with the mall's 600-plus car parks on hand, Fortune Noodles makes an easy stop for a well-rated bowl on Manukau Road.
