Chinese Gourmet

I cannot believe I've never tried this place. I love Salt & Pepper fish - it's hard even to fine at full service Chinese restaurants. This place was packed. We also tried and loved the mushroom chicken, king pao chicken, bbq pork, and orange chicken.

food was very mushy the rice was really hard and the chicken tasted old I loved coming here but now they don't serve great food I found hair in my chow mein and a pice of plastic in my bbq pork

Helll to the nahhh.This ain't Gourmet lol Cash only, there's atm machine inside charges 1.89No where r sit down Food quality ain't there chief Orange chicken? More like sugar chicken Chow mein tasted saltier then the ocean itself.The ladies have soo much sass, I don't recommend spending your money here.

I just discovered this place, and I've been here 3 times today! In no way am I writing this review to talk bad about the place. I want them/wish they would reach out and explain to me the issue I had today. The food has been great! Portions are huge! The staff is very nice and give excellent service! Lots of sitting space with a great atmosphere, no issues with anything until today. I got the same thing as always and with that comes a small side of fried rice (as seen on vid) but today I bought the food so I can take it to work for lunch. Once lunch came I was excited to eat, so I unpacked and started eating, right away I noticed the texture of the rice was super sticky, almost like gum!! At first I thought it was because I didn't put it in fridge since I bought it at 2pm and lunch was at 8pm, but then I warmed it up and it got worse! This has never happened, just hoping for some feed back, I'll still return to the place, I'll just double check the food now.

Food portion is huge! Honestly in my opinion it's better than most of the Panda Express places I've had. The lady is super nice too!

I've been going to this place since I was a kid. They've had the same owners for at least 20 years. Lady with the huge bangs and visor was there, berating a new lady working there, in Chinese - like always. This place has never been great but it's convenient. Typical of Chinese fast food places, they fill up the two compartments with chow mein to avoid having to give you ACTUALLY what you pay for with a 1 or 2 item combo. I usually get honey walnut shrimp from this other place in Downey off of Imperial and Clark - and their food is AMAZING. Very generous and always tasty, but I thought I'd give Chinese Gourmet a shot with THEIR walnut shrimp. I asked for it and asked how long it would take, bangs lady said "5 minutes" it took way longer than that. I also asked how much it was, she said $11.99. that's over $13 with tax but I thought "ok, I'll give them a shot". I asked how much I was getting and bangs lady pointed to the large side order container. I thought "ok, at least it's a lot". I take it home and it's got WAY too much mayo and the candied walnuts they used were too sugary. I figured it's my fault, but at least I know not to order it. To my surprise, I got down to the bottom third of the takeout container and it was filled with fried chow mein noodles. I know times are tough right now but this is pathetic.

This is one of those spots for me. I have been coming here for about 10 years now. I am not around this area much anymore but one thing is for sure Chinese Gourmet hasn't changed, consistently putting out the same quality, amount and in the same building. Now to the food..... Cheap and large amounts! The take out foam boxes are stuffed with your choice of entrees with fried rice/ noodles (typical Chinese take out style). Its not your quality place it is definitely your quantity place. The price is reflecting of this as well. For me I know I not going to taste high quality food and really its almost a local deal if I am in the area. The one hit for everyone and myself is the Jalapeño Chicken, I can say this is in my section every time. Note: CASH ONLY

Don't come here...This used to be a go to...not any longer. Food is flavorless, feels and tastes old no matter the time you go. There are way too many options out there for them to be this bad now. I don't know if there was a change in ownership or cooks but whatever it is, it's ruined the business. Do yourself a favor, choose one of the many other options in the area.

Found a metal piece of wire in my food. Very dangerous, I could have choked. Even worst, could have fed my daughter with it. I don't recommend a un careful, unsanitary place like this.

The best Chinese in the downtown Paramount vicinity! It's delicious not too greasy and very affordable. The service is always great and the food is delicious. Our family loves the chow mein, string bean chicken, orange chicken, pork, and egg rolls! Their rices is always good and you can even order soup. We love this place!
