Asia Gourmet

If you're looking for authentic and delicious Chinese food, look no further than Asia Gourmet! I recently ordered the combo with kung pao beef, fried rice, egg rolls and scallion pancakes, and an order of the Taiwanese fried chicken rice box, and it was all absolutely amazing. The flavors were spot-on, and the portions were generous. Not only that, but it all came out to only $30, which is an incredible value for the amount of food you get.But the real star of Asia Gourmet is the owner. She is so friendly and welcoming, and you can tell that she truly cares about her customers and their experience. She even threw in a free order of crab Rangoon, which was a nice surprise.Overall, I highly recommend Asia Gourmet to anyone looking for fantastic Chinese food and great service. I can't give it enough stars, it's that good! So please do yourself a favor and go give your business to this restaurant, you won't be disappointed.

Asia Gourmet never disappoints! We tried the Taiwanese Crispy Chicken and Mapo Tofu - both were perfectly cooked and delicious. The mapo tofu was nicely packed up. As always, they are so friendly here!

Teriyaki sticks thin nothing to them.Spring roll over cooked crispy dark,The chunks of chicken in the crispy noodle vegetable plate were soft. There was nothing to them.

Average quality American Chinese food located conveniently near Malden Oak Grove T station. General Gai chicken is slightly sweet and spicy, deep fried with starchy batter similar to sesame chicken which I find too American Chinese. Waiting 15 min outside in cold freezing temperature requires adequate winter wear- no space inside, take note.

Asia Gourmet is a fast food Chinese restaurant that is walking distance to Oak Grove train station. There is a small parking lot directly in front of the restaurant. You can easily drive past the restaurant because it appear more like a residential home than a business. When you walk inside, you can't help but feel like the first floor of a residential home was cut out and made into a make shift business. There is a counter for ordering with an open kitchen behind the counter where food is prepared, and to your left is a small narrow seating area for diners. The space is tight with two small tables and about six chairs.We had our food to go. The service was very friendly and food was prepared quickly. To my disappointment, every dish including the bubble tea was sub par. The bubble tea was probably the worst I have ever had. We ended up throwing it away as no one wanted it. It was also expensive at $4.75. For appetizer I ordered the duck bao. This was expensive at $8.75 for two pieces, so a little over $4 per piece. What you get is shredded duck meat with some skin, thinly sliced cucumbers, and green onions. The shredded duck meat was dry and the cucumber not fresh. This was not to my expectations at all. The steamed chicken with scallion sauce rice plate was what had led us to this restaurant. I was looking up restaurants that served Hainese chicken and rice. Normally we would go to Penang or Hong Kong Eatery in Chinatown. To our disappointment, the chicken had very little meat and the rice was plain. It really does not stack up to the places I have had this dish at. We also ordered a braised beef and bean curd rice plate. The dish was okay but the flavor had a sweetness to it. I ate all of the vegetables and the tea egg that came with the meal but couldn't take more than two bites. The same was true with the house lo mein. To our disappointment, the noodle was excessively oily. I couldn't eat that either. I ended up giving my entire dinner to my brother to take home since we knew we would not be eating the food even as leftovers. I honestly wanted to like this place because the person who serviced us was so friendly. But there were clues everywhere. One of the clues, I heard the sound of a microwave going off in the kitchen while waiting for our food to be prepared. I didn't care about the interior which was cramp and dirty. I didn't care about the cheap plastic decor and all the things that was normally have me grab a menu and walk right back out the door. Yelp reviews were overwhelmingly favorable so I boldly ordered away. I really wanted another quick dinner option since this restaurant is not too far of a drive from where I live. But everything about the meal left me highly disappointed and to the point where I can't even give this place a second chance. I am really sorry, this is a no for me.

Red hot, fairly priced Chinese food that is just a short walk away from the Malden T Stop. I am so lucky to have such fresh, good-quality Chinese just a couple blocks away from my new home! The General Gaos was out of this world and had the perfect crisp to it! Spring rolls as big as your palm (same with crab rangoons pretty much). Come here!!!! So unbelievably good.

I am sorry to do this, but I feel like I had to balance out the 5 star reviews that dominated this page. I also hate to do this, because the people who work there couldn't be nicer. But it is a bit unrealistic that this restaurant currently has the highest rating of any chinese restaurant in the area. It simply doesn't deserve it. I am giving it 3 stars, which is an average based on the several times I've eaten there. I have probably ordered from them 4 times or so. The first few were decent. Not amazing, but solid enough for me to come back. Their food is great value for money in terms of quantity and they are one of the few places in the area that would do combo platters, which is great. The style is generally your classic Chinese American fare, with a few unusual items mixed in (though I think their menu has shrinked a bit since Covid started).But where in the past I probably would have given them 4 stars, my last meal there was pretty atrocious. Almost unbearably salty food (almost every part of it) and Lo Mein that was swimming in oil (I get that Lo Mein is often oily, but this soaked through the bag and all over the counter and still had enough oil left to fill the bottom of the takeout dish). I'm going to give them an average of 3 stars, but my last experience makes me wary of returning. Who knows though, maybe you'll have a better time with them than I recently did. And maybe I'll be tempted back by the prospect of a reasonably priced combo dish.

I really have a soft spot for this homey takeout joint. It's Americanized Chinese food done so right and served by the nicest lady ever. My friends who live nearby had always raved about both the food and the service, but I experienced it firsthand a couple of weeks ago when I finally ordered takeout from them. The food was packaged with care and still very warm when I got home. My spicy General Gao's was actually a little spicy, and after getting over the initial surprise, I was immediately won over. The sauce wasn't too sweet, the meat was tender dark meat, and the coating was nice and crispy. Perfect. The fried rice was also pretty tasty and a better alternative to what is often just stale-tasting old rice tossed in too much oil at other restaurants. My husband and I came back a week later and got an order of sesame chicken and chicken with broccoli. Both were really nicely done. The chicken with broccoli was very garlicky and had a more authentic taste than what I'm used to from Chinese takeout restaurants. Best of all, they even threw in a couple of crab rangoons (my friends say this is not uncommon), and I'm so glad they did, because they were the best crab rangoons I've ever had. I'll definitely be ordering those again. What really earns them that 5th star though is the service. It appears that they've transformed their takeout window since COVID-19 to be totally contactless, but you still get a big smile and extremely kind service from the lady at the window. She makes my day every time, and that really keeps me coming back as well. I wish we had given this place a shot earlier than this, as we're now moving. Don't be like us!

10 stars. Great, fresh food. Huge portions, delicious. And excellent friendly service. I had not ordered in a year or two due to covid, just realized they were open, they were even better than i remembered. Will be my go to from now on.

This might have been a good restaurant, however, not anymore. Food is not good at all...Chicken and beef seem to be fake meat, and the taste is not there...
