Always going to get a decent meal. Go here every couple of weeks. Food is good and Jimmy the bartender is the best around!

Takeout 2x and the food was mediocre. The inside of the restaurant is nice with a large bar, multiple tvs and even a projector screen. Seems like a decent place to watch some sports. Takeout service is seamless and employees are nice but the food is lackluster and pricey. Definitely the type of place that will nickle and dime you for something as simple as a side of white rice. 1st visit was General tsos or as they call it general gao. It was tasteless and chicken was not to my liking. Egg roll was good. Second visit was yuen yang spicy beef, some pieces of beef were gross. The entire dish was lackluster. The entree didn't even come with white rice. One would assume when you pay $13.20 for an entree you would get a small side of rice...not here! read more

Just got delivery from here. The food was great. The chicken in my Pad Thai tasted clean and fresh as did the shrimp. The crab rangoon were great as well. The spicy duck we received was tasty but barely registered any heat on my tongue. Everything tasted really really great. Prices are slightly higher than other Chinese food places in Beverly, but the food is better, at least so far. We'll have to try it again, not too soon, but we will get stuff delivered again. Delivery to the Ryal side 'hood took about an hour, which is why we don't usually order anything from the "other" side of town. The delivery fee is $3. read more

My Gf suggested this place. We went today for lunch. I started with the oysters and sushi. Both very good. Next we both got lunch specials. My Gf loves the pork fried rice. It was very good and fresh made. Service was quick and efficient. Would go back for a sushi boat sometime. read more

I came here based on a Groupon trade in. Warning: The shrimp fried rice and shrimp lo mein come with baby shrimp. They did not look fully cooked (not pink enough for me) and were not cleaned. Deveined shrimp is important to me. I ordered these two dishes, and I was really disappointed. I ordered one to eat at the restaurant and one entree to go. I asked to cancel the order to go because I knew I wouldn't eat it. The server involved the manager, who grew upset easily. He acted like it was a huge inconvenience. Beware that you have to order special dishes to get decent shrimp. The manager offered to take both entrees and cash me out for my wonton soup, which was also meh. I advocated for a new meal, and I ordered the General GAO shrimp. It was delicious but the manager's angry temperament made the meal harder to enjoy. This place has 4 star potential, but they need help with customer service! read more

It's always refreshing to have a new restaurant in town, and we were more than excited to try out Gourmet Garden, in the Enon St Plaza, North Beverly. We had never tried their other locations (or heard of them prior to this restaurant's arrival in Beverly), but it sounds like the restaurant group has a great reputation that precedes it. True to the other reviews, the prices were slightly higher than your run of the mill Chinese restaurant, however the quality of the food more than made up for it. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and well prepared in everything we tried. My fiancé was really impressed by the octopus carpaccio, with an above average presentation. You can tell that these people really care about putting out a beautiful dish by the flower garnishes present on most all of them. I had the chicken lettuce wrap appetizer, which was really good, and filling. I also had the caterpillar roll which was another beautifully prepared dish. For an entree, my fiancé had the steamed chicken and vegetables in a bamboo basket. They brought out a sauce on the side as well. The dish could not have tasted fresher or healthier, which was exactly what he had hoped for. The interior was really well done, and was more than I had expected for a "strip mall" type of restaurant. The high ceilings, expansive bar, and plentiful seating all contributed to making this restaurant feel like a step up from your average Chinese restaurant. We will certainly be back! read more

First time ordering from here, got delivery. Took less time then expected.We got a pu pu platter for two, less food then expected but was very good and tasted fresh. Also ordered a half dozen of oysters. Very very yummy, came on ice as expected. All over I will defiantly be ordering from here again number one Chinese spot now read more

This restaurant has the best sushi and Chinese food on the North Shore in my opinion. It would have a solid five stars but I have to say that while the girls working up front are sweet and friendly, they really, REALLY need to up the professionalism. read more

I ate there today and the food was phenomenal!! What impressed me was how fresh everything was. They have the best hot and sour soup I have ever had. The Teriyaki steak was very tender and tasty. The service was prompt and server was friendly. Look forward to going back. read more

Very nice decor and friendly. Great choices for dinner. Tried Crab Rangoons as an appetizer. and then ordered Hong Kong Chicken and String Beans, Pork Fried Rice, Shanghai Duck, My husband tried the Stone table side cooking of fish. Food was fresh and appetizing. Wait staff more than eager to wait on you. They are MSG free!!!! Hope they can make a go of it...hard location since you can not see it from Enon street. read more

Pros: We go often and the food is excellent. It's amongst the best I've had. I give it five stars for value. The staff for the most part is friendly, pleasant, and sweet. Con: Last night we celebrated my fiancé's birthday along with her family. The waiter was pushy as it gets. There were no crowds and plenty of seating available. A member of our party who worked in the industry said our waiter was "pre-bussing" the table, but he was overzealous. We barely put down our glass and fork and he was ushering them off from the table. This was going on all night long. It was rude! There's a subtle way of doing things and timing is everything. We felt rushed and it was "pissing" my fiancé' and I off. While the food was good, as always, this compromised our dining experience. Normally I would say something but I didn't want to risk taking the focus away from the celebration. A side note, the waiter wasn't friendly at all. He clearly didn't go with the rest of the place. I'm passing this along to management. They need to attenuate this behavior. I'm a business owner and treat everyone I service like family. If I treated my customer's like the waitstaff I'd be out of business. read more

Ordered for New Years, wanted to try a new place. Hopefully somewhere better than the rest. This is NOT it. Spent $115 on a variety of dishes and got less than what $60 would get me at other places. A Pu-Pu platter for 2 with only 2 teriyaki, one egg roll, 2 wings, a handful of pork strips, 3 chicken fingers and 2 soggy shrimp rings.. FOR $22?!?!? You get twice the food with better taste at other places in Beverly. They kept the food up against the glass windows, while they waited for pick ups.. Not good. Half the regular menu was not available, no soups, and the sushi is way over priced. 6 pieces for $15? Not going back. read more

hands down this is the best chinese food on the North Shore. Fresh organic chinese food that is tasty and filling. The staff is incredibly friendly and makes you feel like family. Try the Mai Tai. Also the bar has a great vibe and all out atmophere is appealing. read more

Should have been easy. Egg rolls and chicken lo mein. It was not good. Egg rolls were cooked in old used oil that added a horrible after taste. The lo mein was also cooked with either old oil or in a wok that had been used previously and not cleaned. Yuck! Plus they didn't give me utensils or napkins with my takeout order. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I've been looking at the menu for a few weeks and finally decided to make the plunge to order today. I've had so many horrendous experiences ordering takeout that I'll almost never order food without Foodler or Grubhub. -.5 star for the delivery guy calling me from the wrong apartment instead of reading the simple instructions I left when I ordered through Grub. -1 star for the complete absence of shrimp in my Chicken and SHRIMP Pad Thai -1.5 star for the most disgusting General Gau's chicken I've ever tasted. (after scooping out the white rice [which was pretty good] the chicken went in the trash) I understand that dishes at Chinese restaurants vary greatly.. but General Gaus/Tso chicken has been my favorite Chinese dish to order since I was probably 6 years old. But I've never experienced anything like what I received today. Soggy mushy chunks of chicken in the worst tasting sauce I've had. I can't even describe the taste as anything other than just bitter. A few of the appetizers we got were pretty good, saving this review from being a 1 star. I'll never order take out/delivery from here again, I'll stick to Beverly Jade for that. read more

My favorite sushi restaurant! They have excellent quality and customer service. Even being one of the best quality sushi places, they somehow manage to prepare the food extremely fast! I try to make it here at least once a month. I super reccomend this location! read more

Ventured in on a friends suggestion. Reasonable service and decent food. Nothing spectacular though. We had both Chinese and sushi. The sushi was fresh but boring. Apps were ok. The dinner was a duck dish that might have been a bit on the salty side. With so many great places like this around, I'm guessing its the bar and $1 oysters that keeps them rolling! Meh! read more

ordered take out $60.00 later threw out most of it . hot sour soup no flavor everything tasted like it was a few days old and just heated up.... read more

This is our favorite place for takeout, but the restaurant has a really cool vibe. The food is always very fresh, and never greasy or loaded down with sauces. I love lots of vegetables in my dishes and theirs are always fresh and bright, nothing old or limp. Can't go wrong here. read more

We have ordered twice from Gourmet Garden. Never again. Last time we ordered delivery there was no little box of white rice included with the entree. I was told they do not include unless you ask for it. They also charge for the little box of rice. A 60.00 delivery with a good tip and no rice included. I suggested they ask the customer if they want rice when they a take a delivery order. I was told that most customers know already about their rice policy. We ordered again.I made sure to ask for rice this time. this time the delivery left out of the entrees. If I were to order again I would have to make sure to ask for rice and check the bag when it arrives to make sure my complete order is included. The other complaint is the Beef and Broccoli is very, very peppery. I will go elsewhere after this. read more

They don't deserve any start! It's not authentic Chinese food, a American Chinese restaurant. The chicken with vegetable is tasteless, family tofu is a dish full of green pepper, sesame beef is sweet n sour. All dishes are just average! The worst is the rice that go with the dishes. The rice is hard like stones! I will not recommend this restaurant. read more

Great food been there few times friendly people repeat customer for sure

I love this place, if you want to know what fresh Asian food tastes like, you have to try the Garden. I promise you, try the beef teriyaki strips! You'll never love any other place in your life! Their service is super fast, the staff is great and friendly and they're not expensive at all for what you're getting. It's fancy dining at a great price! Also, if you love oysters, they offer $1 oysters before 5pm every day. Love this place! read more

Our takeout tonight was overcooked and dried out, definitely not freshly prepared. The dumplings were actually tough and had no juices inside. We've dined in and done takeout numerous times. When they're on their game, it can be some of the best Chinese we've had. Unfortunately, they are most often off their game. They also lack consistency with how they prepare dishes. The first time I ordered chicken vegetable chow foon it was loaded with an assortment of vegetables and had a wonderful hint of ginger. Delicious. The two times since it has had few vegetables and only onions and scallion greens and no ginger. Very unimaginative. we want to love this convenient restaurant but i believe we've given up. :( read more

The food is OK but the delivery is the problem. They act like it's a hardship to deliver. In my most recent experience (which totally turned me and my family off from them), the delivery driver did not ring the doorbell and just left the food on the ground. On the lawn, not even on the stoop! What delivery driver doesn't ring a door bell? And who leaves food on the grass? Ridiculous. read more

Okay so this is very pretty atmosphere and yes the food was very good and seemed fresh but I was surprised how I was treated. First of all I know it's unusual for a female to eat alone or for that matter any single patron but the hosts kept suggesting that"you should sit at bar - it is easier". "No, I don't want to sit at the bar". I also don't like being seated in a dark corner next to the sushi area.. gee wizz- am I that offensive..idk maybe I am . Anyways during the whole meal the hosts kept fumbling over me and didn't know what was in the menu. I asked for go boo chicken. White rice and an appetizer of crab ragoon. Then after I ate they forgot about me. When I motioned to the waitress that I needed a check the manager came over to me table burdened down with menus and yelled " what chu need ?!".. really? How about a take out bag and a check! I guess next time I'll do take out, save the owner the embarrassing sight of a single dinner. Or maybe thier just mad I took up a table that might otherwise generate a bigger meal ticket. Who knows? I'd give a four star just for the food but I really felt treated poorly. read more

Gourmet Garden - Crab ragoon w gooboo chicken. Was fresh and the crab ragoon was buttery. - Chinese Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

Gluten-free Chinese close by. We have visited twice since the location opened. Both times my family we have been seated without a wait. My son claims the hot and sour soup is the best he's ever had. He orders this soup just about every time he sees it. The lettuce wraps were good, possibly even better than PF Changs. The biggest reason for giving this place a try was their offering of Gluten Free options. They offered to modify items on the menu or you can order one of their two gf specialties. They also will make lo mien with gf noodles. My kids enjoy the carrot garnishes made to look like flowers. We also went back another time and had an equally as good experience. read more

Typical Chinese. Big restaurant. Plenty of seating. Nothing stood out but it was worth going back

This place was absolutely horrible!! My night started off with the silverware being dirty. Not just small food marks but actual chunks still hanging off of the fork! Second, I order chicken wings and you know how some look like they have hair but it's a part of the chicken usually. Well.....this time I thought that until I unrolled what was friend into the wing a 6 inch piece of hair that came along with it pieces of the fried skin. The waiter was trying to question us but once he had the hair in his hands with chicken skin hanging from it, he couldn't say much. That's when the manager came over and told me not to order certain items anymore moving forward and made us feel as if we were trying to get away with something. I was out for nice time and considering I don't do take out that much, it was a special occasion that I wanted to enjoy. My night was ruined by having a waiter act like I did something wrong and a manager back that waiter. Never again will I go to this place!! read more

Gourmet Garden - Do they even wash their dishes? - Chinese Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

This place was great. This was our first time and we loved it. We have been looking for Chinese food like this on the North Shore and we finally found it. We had sushi that was creative and fresh, Chinese that was fresh and delicious. And the fried rice is the BEST I have had in a long time. We WILL be back soon for more. read more

A Groupon led us (me and a friend) here on a Friday afternoon around 2 pm. The restaurant was quiet with a few people at the bar and a few in the dining room. Restaurant is spacious and clean. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our greeter left menus with us and our waitress came over quickly to take our drink orders (water). We decided to split appetizers and entrees. For appetizers, we chose the vegetable spring rolls and steamed vegetable dumplings. For entrees, the lunch shrimp with a ginger scallion sauce and the healthy spicy chicken, both with a side of brown rice. Our appetizers arrived in a fair amount of time, 6 steamed dumplings served with a dark (soy?) sauce. We didn't care much for the sauce and the only vegetable that was noticeable to me were the edamame. The two fried spring rolls came with two sauces: a sweet/sour sauce and a mustard based sauce. We preferred the sweet over the mustard and the cabbage was the most noticeable vegetable to me in the spring rolls. Both were good, light. Our entrees came shortly ... there were approximately 10 medium shrimp in our shrimp dish and the ginger in the sauce was definitely noticeable. The chicken was disappointing as it was described as "spicy" but we did not detect any spice but did come with ample pea pods and carrot slices. The brown rice is a bit on the mushy side (great for me but not for my friend). We preferred the shrimp over the chicken. When the tab arrived, we were charged for the dinner portion of the shrimp and my friend asked the waitress whether we received the lunch or dinner portion and we thoughts she said lunch. She took our groupon and returned with the tab having only deducted the value of the groupon and did not address the price difference between the dinner and lunch charge for the shrimp. Rather than heckle over the difference, we just settled our tab and left. A good meal experience but would probably not go out of our way to return. read more

I went here on a date and it was great. The person I was with was impressed that I took her to an organic Chinese restaurant. I signed up for the birthday email club and look forward to going back soon. I think they have the best Crab Rangoon in the Boston area. We also enjoyed Three Delight and Hong Kong Shrimp. The staff was knowledgeable and extremely courteous. I heard the Mai Tai was supposed to be the best in the area and it lived up to its reputation. I intend on becoming a regular. See you all there! read more

Fresh, miles of taste, even a simple appetizer is perfect. Beverly has at least 7 places but this is far above the best .

I still love their food..the best on the North Shore but beware that they charge to deliver...no matter the distance. This is not stated on their take out menu so we have given a generous tip to driver multiple times. I have no problem with the charge, but in speaking to the manager he saw no reason to put the charge in print and i believe customers shoukd know what they are paying for. read more

Very good quality but the portions are fairly small and the prices fairly high in comparison to some other local sushi restaurants.

Ordered delivery to a hotel. Food portions were small and no utensils or chopsticks were included.

Not just good Chinese, good location. Food was excellent could have been hotter(temperature), still very good. Prices are average, service was good. Will definitely come back. read more

I have been on the lookout for a place that we could get Chinese food prepared with quality ingredients without breaking the bank. This place is it - my husband and I have gone 3 times and have loved everything. Amazing food all around & great service. read more

Solid Chinese food. Seems like they try to use better ingredients. I feel like I actually got fresh vegetables in different dishes. Which we all know was a pleasant surprise. Certainly among the best I've had in the North Shore. Used to live in Boston so still a bit different than Chinatown but again a welcome new addition. I will praise the owners for good customer service. My order for Beef with broccoli, got confused with beef teriyaki. The owner was nice enough to deliver the correct order. Which was nice considering I live in a town away and have little kids so going back was going to be tough. read more
