My co-workers and I ate here regularly years ago. Not sure why we stopped. Maybe so many other options came about. Anywho, we ordered takeout recently. Two of us got shrimp fried rice, one got pepper beef (we shared), another got wings and egg rolls. The only complaint was the egg rolls. She said they were all cabbage and no meat. Do not go by the photo menu prices online. Those are old prices. I asked for a takeout to keep at my job and was told they do have takeout menus. I found that to be odd for a Chinese restaurant. Especially considering it's been there for years. read more

Gourmet China Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Nice hole in the wall Chinese food restaurant located off Forest Lane. The ambiance inside is really nice in my opinion and definitely will catch you by surprise. I got orange chicken with fried rice and for the most part really enjoyed my meal. The orange chicken was good all around, including the sauce, which will have you re-dipping the chicken in while you eat it's that good. The rice on the other hand could definitely had been better. Keep in mind, I got their basic rice with my meal, so maybe it's better if you get another version. However, the rice I got couldn't have been more basic and the soy sauce is what saved it from being something I wouldn't have ate at all. The service inside was nice from what I could tell. Keep in mind, I placed my order over the phone and wasn't there long. Overall, I definitely recommend this spot if you're in the area and are looking for authentic Chinese dishes that'll leave you full! read more

Food was fresh made and generous. Very modest place but good food. Great egg rolls!

Yes I moved here from California, so trying to find an authentic Chinese Restaurant took me 7 years, besides LaiLai in Garland (It is tooooo far for me in McKinney) anywho, Love the service, food and the vibe! You want authenticity, great price and always being helped with a smile, sincereness of loving when they see you walk in is awesome. Kindness for even witnessing them offer a soda or water to their ups driver is so awesome! I love giving them my business, because the gratitude is passed on frequently with the owner and his wife. read more

Comfort food at a hole-in-the-wall kind of place. Service is quick. Overall good experience.

I ordered shrimp lo mein to go and it was a greasy pile of spaghetti noodles. Will never go back.

I love this place. Mom and Pop-type restaurant. They are very friendly and know my order without me having to tell them! I love the food. It's not trying to be anything other than a quick, fast-food style Chinese restaurant. Highly recommend! read more

I ordered the sesame chicken with rice . The food was hot and fresh. The rice tastes more like plain white rice. It didn't even have an egg in it. The sesame chicken was ok. It was sweet and smelled like a funnel cake but it didn't have any flavor. The customer service is also good. read more

Gourmet China is typically hit or miss. When it's off it's all the way off but when it's on it's amazing and today it was good. Like others have said the fried rice is bland. And that is spot on each and every time, the fried rice has no taste. The spring rolls are good just a bit greasy. The Mongolian beef was very flavorful as was the Kung Lao shrimp. The miss today was the orange chicken. I'm giving 4 stars because even with the lows I continue to go back whenever I'm in the area. read more

Straight trash I went today and ordered combination fried rice no pork extra shrimp didn't have no shrimp in it and threw that ish in the trash I'll never go again no wonder it wasn't no one in the restaurant. If I could give it zero stars I would. read more

Called in a to go order of spicy chicken fried rice, white meat only, yesterday for lunch. The person who took my order, who was also the person at the counter when I picked it up, was friendly and efficient. The price point was fine. But the food...meh. Not spicy at all (fortunately, based on past experiences, I asked for chili sauce also). The rice and chicken were pretty dry. It wasn't awful, I mean I ate it...but it really wasn't good either. It might not be totally fair to base my judgement of this restaurant on one dish ordered to go, but based on what I ate, I don't think I'll be giving it another try. read more

This place was recommended by a local co-worker. I was surprised to have found a hidden gem. Food is made fresh to order portions are huge and very affordable. Not to mentioned the egg rolls are amazing. This place may not look fancy but food is amazing. read more

First impression as you walk in, typical hole-in-the-wall Chinese take-out place with limited seating. Cleaner than most, orderly, and well-kept. Small added bonus, a self-serve soda fountain. Most places of this type either serve canned soda or charge for refills. I ordered the shrimp curry with steamed rice and a bowl of hot and sour soup. At $15 with a drink, it's just way too pricey for the mediocre quality you get. I'll be adding a picture to go with it. Its the one with my laptop in the background. I find that hot and sour soup tends to tell a lot about how a Chinese restaurant's quality will be across the board because it's a complex soup that requires a lot of ingredients and takes some skill to get the flavor right. And gourmet this place is NOT. The hot and sour soup was neither hot, nor sour. It was pretty much a thin broth, small pieces of overcooked tofu, peas, a bit of egg, a hint of heat, and a hint of rice wine vinegar, and the overpowering flavor of black sesame oil. No wood ear mushrooms, button mushrooms, bamboo shoots, tiger lily buds, or green onion. The shrimp curry wasn't much better. Small frozen shrimp, about the size you'd use in an alfredo pasta dish, not an entree like this. A thin sauce that was mostly chili sauce and curry powder. Tons of cubed zucchini, which puzzled me since it's not something I think of in a Chinese dish. Peas, and diced onion, and some very dried out rice that needed the thin sauce to give it some life again. read more

Gourmet China Restaurant - A pathetic hot and sour soup, and shrimp curry. - Chinese Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I was craving Chinese while I was shopping at a Walmart nearby, so I decided to take a chance on this restaurant. I didn't expect much, but I have to say that I was pleasantly impressed. The New Yorker in me always has such high standard for food, especially Chinese takeout and this place delivered. I had the General Tso's chicken, which was fried to perfection and tossed in a delicious sauce. The rice that it was served with could have been less oily, though. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed my dine-in experience and I would do it again. read more

Gourmet China Restaurant - General Tso's Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Dallas, Texas

My brothers and I have been coming here since we were kids, and it's just as excellent now as it was 23 years ago. The food is excellent, especially the Hunan Beef. The portions are big and very reasonably priced, and the service is quick, efficient and friendly. The owners are very hands-on and hospitable, and they--along with the outstanding food--are the reason I've been coming back for decades. I recommend this place to all my Dallas friends, as well as anyone new to or visiting Dallas and will continue to sing its praises as long as I live. Do yourself a favor and checkout Gourmet China ASAP. You won't be disappointed. read more

Nice lil spot for some fast Chinese food. I call in my order and arrive in 6 mins and it's always done and hot. Cheap prices, the fried rice portions is amazing. The House Chicken is really good too. Will be getting some more today. read more

How do you approach a review of your basic Chinese Food Place? Is it a 5-star dining experience? No. Did it radically disappoint? No. So, set your expectations: this is your basic chinese food restaurant, that surprisingly, is so hard to find these days. It is reasonably priced, reasonably clean, and the food is good. I particularly like that it isn't overly salty. The vegetables seem fresh, although the chicken is grade B quality. So, if your expectation is a quick Chinese food served hot and well made, then this is your place. Service is very fast. I've been 2x now, and I will return. read more

YES this is good chinese. Giant portions of it. Self-service but with ample seating. Drink refills. Awful radio station instead of music. But... Why would customers want to eat a giant lunch, and risk feeling sleepy in the afternoon? We have work to do! I humbly suggest you replace 1/2-1/3 of the entree with a spring roll or something. read more

Small but clean space with large following of TI employees, the dining room was packed. Quick service and customizable plate options. Had the orange chicken and fried rice. If they ask you if you want your plate spicy and it's already denoted as a spicy item on the menu. Say no. The chili peppers had my mouth on fire. Sweet and very spicy chicken chunks that were lightly breaded and glazed, which I like so I don't get hard chunks of fried flour. The lunch portion of fried rice was a different style from their dinner portion. It didn't include any scrambled eggs pieces that I look forward to and no snow peas or onions or carrots. The appearance and texture was more like fried brown rice. read more

One of my co-workers took me to this place for lunch and I was truly surprised when I got my plate and took the first bite. IT WAS AMAZING! I had gotten the Curry Chicken and my Co worker had gotten the Sesame Chicken, we decided to split our plates so we each had some of the others food, The Curry Chicken was top notch and the Seasme Chicken had a sauce I had never had before with Seasme Chicken and it make the flavors burst out. We have since eaten there many times and I continue to enjoy it. There is one down-side in my eyes with this place. The egg-rolls are $1.15 a piece and they are just filled with cabbage. If there was meat in them I couldn't see or taste them. read more

We were taking my mother-in-law home and looking for a chinese restaurant on the way back to her house. I spotted this restaurant, looked it up on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Most likely we would of never ended up at a place like this just because it's a hole in the wall restaurant in a not so great shopping center but gave it a shot because it had good reviews (albeit only 3). I have to say I was really impressed. I wanted to order some egg drop soup but it was 2.75 a bowl/cup. I'm hoping it was a bowl because of the price but decided I didn't want to spend that much on soup. Now to our order. My daughter and mother-in-law split chicken fried rice. Note if you like white meat vs. dark meat make sure you specify because otherwise it will be dark. There is an upcharge but totally worth it. This dish was good. I ordered the sesame chicken and requested it spicy. It was really good. Good sauce, chicken was tender, not fatty at all. My husband ordered the winning dish in my book - Chicken Broccoli with white meat. This was SOOOOOOO good. It's cooked in a light broth, broccoli was fresh and crisp, chicken was great. A winning combination, healthy, etc. I'm already craving this dish in fact. Now for the best part. The majority of the entrees are $5.50. I'm thinking their must be $1.00 upcharge for white chicken because for 3 entrees and 1 ice tea our total came to $26.00. Not bad, not bad at all. Give them a try!! read more

Best Hot and Sour Soup I've ever had! Everything's fresh! Love this place! Check it out!

Independent Chinese diner hidden in the middle of a weathered strip mall, easy to overlook. The interior is diner basic with little decor and counter service only. (Opening the blinds might lend a little lightness and air to the place.) Ordered the kung pao chicken off the menu board, fried rice, added an eggroll. The kung pao was pretty basic, a step up from fast food but with no real heat at all. The eggroll was not only homemade but cooked at order, and would be exceptional if it had any filling other than just plain cabbage. The customers were sparse at a weekday lunch, and it appeared that most of the business was call-in, to-go orders while I was there. A decent place, inexpensive and convenient for the area but not a stand-out. read more

Excellant food again the Chicken in my General TSO was crunchy and fresh the whole meal was very good as it was the last time i came. Its pretty consistent here my only gripe is they close to early the foor says 6:30pm not sure if thats true if so they need to stay open longer seeing they are the best in the area ijs read more

This restaurant is awesome, I go here as often as I can. I order the broccoli chicken. When I walk in, the manager who works the cash register is friendly and speedy, which I like. My boyfriend has been coming here for a few years and when he calls in the order to go, they already know who he is and what he wants to order, and she knows him by name! Once you order, your food is ready in less than 10 mintes. The broccoli chicken has a great sauce and NO MSG (which is a plus because I don't get hungry 30 min after I eat). This is a great place to go and is consistent and cheap for a good, large portion meal. read more

My favorite Chinese restaurant. Don't be alarmed by the look of the place at first glance. You walk in, I've never had to wait long to order, you order your food and they tell you when it's ready. The prices are really cheap but you get a lot of food. I always take home some at the end. Oh, and most importantly, the food is outstanding. By far one of my favorite Chinese restaurants. I haven't tried anything I didn't like. read more

This is one of our favorite neighborhood standards. Their sesame chicken is consistently excellent (and our must-have dish). The hot and sour soup is the gold standard by which I judge all other versions of this dish. They are courteous, fast, inexpensive and just good food. Highly recommend! read more

I like an inexpensive restaurant with a good-sized order. The order-size was huge (all three of us took home part of our meals in a styrofoam container inside a plastic bag. The wait time for the food was very short. The food tasted good. The prices were reasonable or better. The room was quiet enough that we could have a good conversation. Don't go for the atmosphere, but for a large, good, inexpensive meal. read more

Food is okay, not splendid. Atmosphere is very blue collar, which is fine but not exactly "gourmet."

Place is great! Food is made fresh, so food is always hot, made fast and very tasty. I love their orange chicken, taste authentic and good portions. Also, pricing is reasonable. Its soo good I come at least once a week. I hghly recommend this place! read more

5 stars for the orange chicken alone! Delicious! The place itself was meh to say the least. But it's exactly what you would expect from a hole in the wall. Plain and simple. But again, orange chicken was great! read more

My family has been eating food from here for over 20 years, and It's still owned by the same family. The food is consistently good and as others have said large portions that are easily shareable. The interior is always clean and in order. Free drink refills from the soda fountain, and condiments available for your table.They draw a nice lunch crowd from employees who work at Texas Instruments, just around the corner. They are not open on Sunday and close at 6:30 weekdays and 3:30 Saturday. Dine in or take out only - delivery not available. Try it and I think you will be pleased. read more

I always get the fried rice and every time it is great. You must try this place. It's very small diner but worth it.

Lunch date here with a friend was much enjoyed. The outside is misleading and the inside was plain. But the shrimp fried rice and beef and broccoli was delicious. The best fried rice I've tasted in Dallas. I had that to go. The house soup. The bowl was as big as my head and tasty as well. I would recommend this place. read more

This place is no good!!! High price, low quality! I would not recommend. Stay Away!!!
