Love this place! My guy and I recently moved here from Colorado and we love this place! Don't be put off by the lived in bar area. The food is great and the owner is absolutely adorable. They make their own chili oil! We always try to dine in because we see that they get a lot of to-go orders. Bring your friends because this place deserves your business!

Sigh.I miss the wok hei that Chef Gene wrapped the extraordinary Chinese food that flash fried out of his iron wok. I worked for his family restaurant growing up, and it is rare to encounter wok hei in any Chinese establishments here in Beertown.Shrimp in Lobster Sauce at its best is an unctuous umami dish rich with pork, egg ribbons, black beans and plump shrimp. The sauce is rich enough that you continue to lap it up long after your belly is filled. Sigh.China Gourmet charged $17.95 for a sad, thin, white broth with shrimp that they called Shrmp in Lobster Sauce but should be called Diet shrimp broth entree and evokes Wongs Wok menu. Shame shame shame on you. No flavor. Overpriced. 2 cups max. No wok hei. I think they zapped it in the microwave.....My Uber ordered totaled $60 including an unanticipated $10 service charge. This rip off meal also included 2 egg foo yong hockey pucks, and a sandy dry dish of Singapore noodles. I succumbed to ordering delivery because I was too tired after a long day. It's the same condition that causes me to order extremely expensive junk from infomercials at night.China Gourmet, shame on you for taking what is usually exquisite affordable cuisine and ripping off your customer.

WOW - WOW - WOW. China Gourmet is a very inconspicuous little restaurant (it's quite big inside) with really no frills or over the top atmosphere situated right across the street from the Pabst Theater. We were in a hurry to get something to eat before catching the comedy show across the street and we stumbled across China Gourmet. Our server (unfortunately I didn't catch his name) was so kind when taking our order and fast fast fast with the service. I genuinely dislike when people say "this is the best..." or "this is the worst..." BUT this was absolutely the most flavorful Chinese food I have ever had. The menu choices, which there were a ton of, were nondescript and not unlike what you would find at almost any Chinese restaurant, BUT the flavor profiles were ridiculous. Something as simple as pan fried noodles and fried rice which are normally compliments to the meal could have easily been the main meal. So fresh and so delicious. I had Kung Pao Beef and the sauce was so savory, I literally took the serving spoon and finished it off like a soup. If you're in town or going to a show at the Pabst Theater, don't bother with all the other options that are flashy and fancy; go to China Gourmet for the delicious food and the wonderful service.

Posting an updated review as we have ordered many times since my last review. The quality is not consistent but I think that actually has much more to do with doordash delivery than it does the actual restaurant. We ordered for pick up a few times and every time our food has been piping hot and delicious! The home style pork, fried rice, and sesame tofu are our go tos!

Friendly staff serving Chinese food in downtown Milwaukee. The food was above average with large portions at a reasonable price. I would return to this place.

After 18 months, I've found my go-to Chinese place! Food was amazing and the service was friendly and fast. I've lived in 10 cities from coast to coast & tried a dozen Chinese restaurants in Milwaukee. China Gourmet did not disappoint!

Definitely not gourmet. Hot and Sour soup was very watery and not too flavorful. I ordered some Szechuan Wings and got Buffalo wings. The egg rolls weren't good at all.I don't recommend.

Have always loved this place. Used to walk to it to pick up lunch when I worked at the courthouse. It is my favorite Chinese restaurant of all time. I just last night went there before a performance at the Rep. The tung a chicken just as tasty as I remember it. Very fresh and crunchy vegetables. So glad to see that the same man who owns it is still there. Will make a conscious effort to get back there more often.
