Gourmet House - Pineapple chicken - Chinese Near Me - Michigan City, Indiana

Came in for dinner around 6pm on a Tuesday night. There were two other tables seated, when we came in. We sat there for 37 minutes and never received our appetizer of egg rolls. I went to the front register and described the situation. Never a sorry or nothing from our young waiter. I then suggested that perhaps we should just cancel our order and pay for our drinks. I payed $4.17 for my iced tea and my wife's diet coke. Still no apology or nothing!! Apparently the customer doesn't matter at this establishment. read more

Went here for the first time and had lunch. The food was very good, service was quick and friendly and the prices were fair. I will definitely be back. read more

My wife and I just moved to Michigan City so we decided to order in. First try, and not a bad choice. We got the chicken lo mein, Chinese vegetables and the General tso's chicken. I was a bit skeptical at the price, around 25 dollars, but I was taken by surprise at how good the food was. Definitely will have again. read more

Today was my first time ordering food from here. I had it delivered. Missing some of my order. The rice is absolutely disgusting!!! The lowest grade ever. The texture is pure mush!! How can you mess up rice?? If I could give a negative star I would!! $50 for garbage food!! Never again! There isn't a good Chinese restaurant in Michigan City. read more

This is the first review I've ever written on Yelp. I just had a beyond horrible experience at this place and feel the need to warn potential customers of how awful this place really is. (Please note, this was my first [and only] experience here). I came in on a Monday night at about 7:30pm. There were two tables dining in the restaurant: one with 4 people, and one with a solo diner. There were also 3-4 people waiting for their carry out orders. I walked up to the counter and asked if I could place a carry-out order. The owner/manager, while attempting to walk away, grunted at me and directed me to what appeared a 10 year old boy to take my order (who was probably the best employee at the restaurant). I ordered a very, very simple order: one shrimp egg roll, and an order of empress chicken with white rice. Then, I proceeded to wait for my order. And wait. And wait. Several other people came in to pick up their carry out orders and found out that despite giving their order over the phone and receiving confirmation, their orders were never entered and the kitchen hadn't even started to prepare their orders (despite calling 30 minutes earlier). These people became visibly angry. The woman who was giving out orders waited 35 minutes to check with me to see what I ordered. I proceeded to tell her. 10 minutes later, she came out and asked me again. I repeated my order again. She brought a receipt, which clearly was not mine -- orange beef and short-ribs and rangoon -- and asked if it was mine. I firmly told her no, not even close. She then brought a menu and asked me to re-order so she could check on my food. 45 minutes into this obnoxious ordeal, she came back out to re-enter my order. I asked her if my food had started to be prepared. She said no. At that point, I asked for my money back and she half-assed apologized to me for the situation. The owner came out and also gave me a half-ass apology. The sad thing is, had the offered to comp my meal or throw in something extra, I likely would have stayed. To sum this up: I waited 45 minutes after placing a carry out order to be told that I needed to re-order because they lost my order and hadn't even started preparing my food. Several other frustrated people who were there to pick up to-go orders ended up waiting 45 minutes for the same situation. One woman said she drove from 30 minutes away. Me personally: I waited 45 minutes after my 90 minute commute home from Chicago. All I wanted was dinner. This all happened despite this place being not even remotely busy. Absolutely ridiculous. Terrible service. Beyond horribly run. The one time I go there to try the food, they can't even screw the order up and give me some form of incorrect food. I will absolutely never be back under any circumstances. read more

Excellent food, high quality, huge portions. Best broccoli and garlic sauce in the world!

Fun to try out but the food was average compared to any other Chinese place. The sesame chicken was very good but everything else was mostly bland. The waitress was ok. She wasn't bad but not assertive either. read more

Food taste good. Just confused on my order. I got the Vegetable Chow Mein and only got Vegetables and no noodles. I thought Chow Mein had noodles. read more

Gourmet House - This is the Vegetable Chow Mein. I got no noodles. - Chinese Near Me - Michigan City, Indiana

Everybody here is very nice and treats you with respect as long as you do the same for them. food was very fresh and everything i ordered was amazing, egg rolls were spectacular and the soup was amazing as well. don't judge gourmet house without trying it because i don't regret spending a penny here. read more

Good food, large portions. A bit expensive for Chinese though. For it being so expensive, it should have been slightly better. All in all, I would eat from here again. read more

smells delicious when you walk in, i just think it's a little unprofessional to have your children (age 10-12) taking your order. The little boy was sneezing all over the place and wiping his nose with his shirt, i was pretty disgusted. read more

AVOID THIS PLACE!!!! I ate here last night. OMG! SO BAD! Let's start with the restaurant cleanliness. Oh wait there is none! Just gross sticky floors, dirty glass, you can see the dust floating in the stagnant air. I have no problems with family owned restaurants. Maybe keep the family toys out of the reception and dining areas. Now let's address the poor excuse for food. Beef on a stick had great flavor to bad it was like chewing bubblegum. So fatty I spit it out. Pork fried rice was the same way. I was picking piece after piece of fat out of my food. Fried dumplings were soggy and the sauce was split all over. Crab Rangoon were just cream cheese! I pulled three apart to look for a single piece of crab or even Krab. Never again! AVOID THIS PLACE!!! ITS THE WORST! read more

Had lunch here and it was very good. Small place with good food. four star rating,in my opinion, not quite gourmet to earn five. The name would be better if it was called Pretty Darn Good House. read more

Reflects the atmosphere of a family run establishment. Not a five star location but the food is good. I usually go with friends who have never complained about the quality of the meals. As with most, there is room for improvement. read more

Inexpensive below average Chinese food, free parking, average service, etc. Some friends brought me four times there for lunch.

We have been coming to Gourmet House for the last year or so. The food is awesome! Our favorite dishes are the Chicken with Garlic Sauce. Simply the best flavor anywhere. Unique to Gourmet House is the way it is prepared and the exceptional taste. We have tried this at other Chinese restaurants and it just doesn't measure up to the quality and taste here. Also, the Pan Fried Dumplings are to die for. The taste is superb and the fact that there are 8 of them included with an order makes it a great value! While the exterior of the building looks a little bit disheveled, the interior is pretty nice, although the bathrooms could use some much needed cleaning and/or updating. The staff is kind of interesting. There are a couple of servers that are quite good and very responsive. On the other hand, there are a couple that are not very customer centric and give the impression that you are disturbing them. But, it doesn't matter. Go for the tasty food and you won't be disappointed! read more

This place has by far the best Chinese food I've ever had. The building itself looks a little shady on the outside, but inside is nice. The people are super friendly and the food is amazing. read more

Very good food and large portions! We had steamed dumplings, egg foo yung (never had this before - delicious) and sesame tofu (I'm a big fan of tofu). I've traveled in China 3 times. The sesame tofu was a quality dish made for the American taste buds (I think it's essentially like sesame chicken, but with tofu). I told my husband it should be called "candy tofu" - It's a very good dish if you like tofu and have a sweet tooth. The atmosphere was a mixed bag. The furnishings were nice, but some things needed attention. I think the owners would benefit from having a clearer division between "family" space for the owners, and "customer" space for diners. Slower service than your typical Chinese take-out (but we were eating in). I would definitely eat there again because of the food, but plan to slow down and enjoy your meal. read more

Good food. We order takeout from here fairly often. Always good stuff. Orange chicken and sesame beef can't be beat! :)

In my top 5 Chinese restaurants. The portions are very large for a reasonable price, and everything that I have tried was at least good. The crispy garlic chicken, dumplings, fried rice, and eggrolls are superb. The servers are friendly and the decor adds abidance. From outside the place looks run-down but inside it is pretty cute. Definitely worth a try if you are in the area. Actually, it's worth going out of your way for. read more

Terrible. Not only was the service terrible but the children of the owners or someone that worked there were running around our table, messing with our stuff. One of them even sat down at the table when my daughter got up to use the restroom. They were distracting our 1 year old to the point where she wouldn't eat. We had to get up and ask them to keep the kids away from our table so we could enjoy our dinner as a family. Sad that no one said anything without us asking when they saw them standing next to our table the majority of the time we were there. Food was just ok. This was the only place we would order Chinese from in town and unfortunately that will be the last time we order from there. Portion sizes were drastically reduced and not worth the price. Not happy with this place at all. Very disappointed. read more

I've tried various Chinese restaurants in Michigan City and La Porte, this tastes the best to me. I do carry out so I can't comment on service or cleanliness. Haven't had anything bad here going on two years now. read more

I had not eaten here in a long while. Most recent time had been 2 years ago. In many of those cases I had called for delivery. I ordered on New Years Eve and it was a disappointing experience. First off the General Tso's chicken was rubbery and not particularly tasty. It was served with a tiny container of rice which I considered underwhelming. Next up was their Cantonese Style Chow Mein. It was bland, greasy, light on the protein and heavy on large chunks of vegetables. I was unimpressed to say the least. The up side was speedy delivery and a friendly delivery man. If it was not NYE I would have eaten somewhere else. read more

Hands down my favorite chinese food in the area. We have only ever gotten delivery, but its always fast, hot, and delicious. Very fresh, large portions. Best part about this place? Actual sticky rice. Its not mushy like many other places I've eaten, and it tastes as it should. The delivery guy is really nice, and they seem to have learned how many people I'm ordering for because they always include the perfect ratio of forks and fortune cookies (which changed recently, I miss the old cookie brand, they were awesome) which is nice because if I'm ordering Chinese I don't want to dirty up dishes. We have ordered from them several times now since we moved here and I would definitely recommend them for delivery. read more

Agree with Jake, horrible experience at around the same time he went for dinner. Food took over an hour for 4 people. 4 tables left the restaurant while waiting for food. The ten yr old boy was the best employee in the restaurant, crazy! Unfortunately Michigan Shitty has limited food choices for Chinese food. read more

Always good food. It is my top choice for take Chinese take out. The inside of the restaurant could use some updating. Their delivery is usually faster than the expected time also. read more

They don't wash the broccoli, there's bugs and grubs in the food, do.not.eat.

the food was horrible ! the chicken tasted like that of fish, the rice was dry, and there was a bunch of flies in the soup :-( spent $20 on bad food. the delivery guy was nice. however, the food was terrible. read more

Awful! Veggie Mei Fun and Shrimp with snow peas had zero flavor. On the plus side they delivered to our hotel room on W. Dunes Hwy.
