    I see that SG gets ratings ranging from being quite lambasted to people lovin' it. I can dig the dichotomy. Let's peep this out, aye? The decor is pretty minimal. Some cool Oriental stuff at the entrance and the bar is fairly pimped out but the rest is plain-jane stuff. It's OK but lacks the old-school red-leather booth and gold-dragon vibe. The menu is wicked extensive for such a no-frills place. All sorts of subgums and stuff. Kung Pao is called Gung Pao here -must be a regional thing? We ordered a Toyko Blaster and a Mai Tai. The Blaster was phun and had garnish but the Mai Tai didn't have no garnish. No frills, remember? The drinks were tasty and fairly strong -especially the Tai. Moey ordered the Lunch Special which was Wings, Goons, PFR and Teriyaki Beef Stix. Admittedly the PFR was "the usual" old and cold. The Wings were teenie AF. The Goons were decent and were quite yellow due to coloring to make them Festivus looking. The TBS were OK -probably a "meh" rating. I got the Bird's Nest which was scrump AF and wicked copious. Lots of Beef and Chicken and "Chinese Veggies" as described on the menu including Pennsylvania Mushrooms. The nest was a Taro Root nest which did look like a bird nest and was interesting visually and phun to eat. All was slathered in a Yum-Yum Brown Boom-Boom/Yo-Yo type sauce. Additionally, my One was quite hangry and ordered up more food similar to her first order. The food arrived and it was similar to her previous order but with Fried Shrimp. She ate it. We figured it's the holidays, so we got two more drinks. Moey got another Mai Tai -this time she asked for garnish, and I got an Alabama Slammer (a very ancient and traditional Chinese drink dating far back to the Rang-Tang Dynasty) and it was served in a tiki mug with garnish. Prices are quite reasonable here -like as little as 7.50 a drink. I would say some things are good here and other things not so much. The waitress was absolutely wonderful and was multi-tasking wicked big time. I do wish the PFR was freshly made or at least conscientiously reheated. This very much adds a bummer element to an otherwise pretty good place. This is more than a mere peccadillo. This heinous offensive has been ubiquitous in many Chinese places dating way back to caveman times. It's no bueno. PS -I find it interesting that Portuguese influence has infused itself all the way into Oriental places in this area as they proudly featured Linguica Fried Rice and other Chinese dishes containing this atypical ingredient. Alrighty then...

    I have eaten here a few times since they've been open and this local restaurant is one of my favorites! The Pan Fried Hunan Egg Noodle is always excellent! Everything included in the Pu Pu Platter is delicious, hot and the servings are huge. This was my first time trying the Pad Thai here and it was just okay and they do not include hot mustard to your order unless you ask. Overall the food is delicious, good service and we will definitely be back!

    Sweet Sweet Ginger! Let me start by saying I did NOT expect this to be as amazing as it was. First of all food was ready for take out in 15 minutes. (Not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing. Some great food comes out of this place though! Amazing Chicken Teriyaki, Pepper Steak, and Pork Spare Ribs. Crab Rangoon was delicious and soft (I hate when it's over cooked). Food was exceptional and service was great and easy. Have enough left overs for lunch the next day with a $10 meal. Will come back soon. 4 Stars because Pork Fried Rice wasn't as good as the main course and this is my favorite part of Chinese food. But well worth the try!

    We were in the mood for some Chinese food and wanted to dine in rather than get take out (to enjoy…read moreit fresher). We stopped into Gumbo on Saturday night and we're seated immediately. Our server was fast and friendly but not overbearing. All of our food came out in waves, and at a good pace so we could enjoy it all. Everything was hot and fresh tasting, and the portions were perfect (had plenty to take home for leftovers). The interior looks as you would expect an older local Chinese spot to look. Some traditional decor and feel. Only constructive feedback would be about the booth cushions being a bit beat up but not terrible and wouldn't ruin the experience.

    A weekday lunch at a Route 6 eatery that could pass for any suburban strip mall Chinese restaurant…read morewithin 30 miles of Boston. Small bar at the entrance, deceptively large dining room, and an old school menu similar to the previous joints I tried. The name on the signage out front differed from that on the menu, so I asked: the official name is Gum Bo, not Gumbo. General Gao's Chicken (on a combo): Shy of crisp, large of chunk, borderline moist, and mild on the sauce. Average. Pork Fried Rice (on the combo): Varying shades of darkness on the color, faintly moist, just a bit of old timey flavor, with an atypical light spiciness. A little above average. Egg Roll (on the combo): Celery and cabbage mix, with mini cubes of pink pork. Not moist but not bad. A little above average. Food ultimately was humdrum. Not bad by any means; just kinda typical and slightly better than average. Could've been what I ordered, could've been an off day, could've been my mood based on getting a lousy seat (on top of another table when there were plenty of other empty ones available), or could've been Chinese food fatigue from too many very recent (and better) Chinese meals. I've seen so much promise in the reviews and photos here and elsewhere, so I'm not giving up on Gum Bo; just a little short of expectation.
