Used to come to this place regularly, but after their new management , place has gone to the ground. Ordered general tso (NOT SPICY) and they gave it to me spicy of course and the chicken tasted awful ! Now , combos don't come with any soda or eggroll like they originally did. Lastly, prices have increased and food quality is not the same!! Lost a customer. read more

I travel for business quite often and I am happy to support local restaurants wherever I go. Never chains. I ordered the beef and broccoli combo and I can honestly say it was in my top 3 all time I've ever had. The sauce on the beef side exploded with flavor, rice was cooked perfect and the egg roll had just the right soft to crunch ratio. Well done Gourmet. Well done!!!! Seamus Q read more

I am very picky with all restaurants, if you're looking for great american chinese food then this is the place! It has the best Chinese food in the area and beyond!!! Everything is tasty and the combination dishes come with perfectly cooked porkfried rice with generous portions.. I've been coming here for a while and nothing comes close to this place! read more

Very friendly staff but the food wasn't even edible, besides the white rice, the chicken was super overcooked. Thankfully I could give it to the stray animals in the area because I could not eat it. read more

Let's start these guys off right with a good review. The food is probably best described as 3-star, but they get an extra one for being nice. Their lunch specials run 'til 3:30, and I arrived at about 3:40, but they didn't even bat an eyelash when I ordered one. Nice of them to give me the lunch price without an issue. To me, any roast pork dish is a good barometer of Chinese hole-in-the-wall food. Is it rubbery and lifeless? Or is it smoky, sweet, and easy on the jaw? This place's leans towards the latter. My Roast Pork with Broccoli was pleasantly fatty without being greasy, and served with a tasty sauce. Thumbs down for the atomic yellow rice that many Chinese kitchens serve. It's not inedible, it just tastes very mass-produced, that's all. Pretty decent place if you need a quick takeout meal in Meriden. read more

I ordered General Tso's chicken for me and chicken fried rice for my daughter. We picked it up, rather than getting delivery. The first thing is that there is a parking lot (no need to park on the street), though the lot is tight. Inside, the place seemed clean (for a Chinese place, anyway). On the phone they told me my food would be ready in ten minutes; I don't know exactly how long it took for me to get there; it felt like less than 10 minutes, though, so I expected to have to wait, but the food was ready as soon as we walked in. I don't really eat chicken fried rice a lot, so I can't compare it to anything, but it tasted good. It's something I would order for myself again. The General Tso's chicken was tasty, too. This is my go-to meal at any Chinese place. The chicken was crispy (which is something a lot of places get wrong), and the sauce tasted great... very sweet, with a little kick. The only downside (which is kinda big) is that there wasn't a lot of sauce. The chicken was coated well, but I like to have a lot of extra sauce on the bottom of the dish, and there was none. I would consider ordering from these guys again if I was on the side of town, but I also might try something else just to see what's out there. read more

This restaurant was really good when they first opened. Seems like the past couple of years the quality has gone downhill. There is more coating on chicken dishes than chicken. Also the chicken is tough. I've had the spare ribs and lo mein dishes. Just disappointed in the quality and quantity. We are trying other places until we find another place for delivery. read more

Decided to try a new Chinese place tonight, and I'm really sorry I did. We ordered for delivery, took an hour. Ok, fine, it's a Friday night, I get it. I got the General Tso's with pork fried rice... This is my usual no matter where we order from, and I can honestly say, it's not even close to general Tso's. And the rice tasted sour, aside from lacking any other flavor. The crab rangoons were nothing fantastic, and we were only given 2 packets of duck sauce. My husband seems content with his chicken in garlic sauce and the pork lo mein. This is why I hardly ever try anywhere new. read more

This place used to be better. Got General Tso chicken for lunch today. Chicken is heavily breaded- very little chicken present. Have to be fair and try some other stuff before making my final review of this place. read more

More Rice than Meat and veggies. If you want to pay for 25 percent food and 75 percent rice go to stop and shop and make it yourself. Overcharge. read more

Tonight was the last night that I order from this establishment. Sadly, it seems very likely that I no longer have a Chinese Food place that delivers. First off, beware that they charge for delivery. I think it's about 1.50 or 1.75. I ordered $16.70 in food...had a 19.36 delivery bill. They don't advertise this at all though they don't claim free delivery either. I don't trust places that do this. I'd rather pay $19 on a $16 bill and let the driver keep all #3 than to get a $17.50 bill....and then what the business keeps $1.50 and I have an inflated bill to boot? The heck with that. The person incurring the charges is the driver. and I know the location often pockets it and not the driver. That aside, their food quality is terrible. I order a 'hot and spicy' dish, order it extra spicy (because what places around think is spicy is super-mild) and got a dish that honestly...was even weaker than usual and sweeter. It's like I ordered volcano-hot buffalo wings and they came soaked in McDonald's ketchup. Also, I have ordered their hot and sour soup; One weekend, it's alright. The next time I ordered it, it was more like extra mushrooms in pork-broth and it honestly had a horrible after-taste like that of dirt (did they wash the mushrooms?). It was inedible. Oh, I also ordered dumplings...got a sauce container on the side that was barely half-filled. I've had enough. Inedible dishes, overcharging, and poorly seasoned food. They may be nice but they haven't a hint of consistency and appealing to customers. read more

I'm done with this place. Found strips of metal (looks like pieces of very coarse steel wool) in the food. No thanks.
